Dexter, I thought the same thing. By the time Halo came around, I was forced to take off my pants, as they were soiled and those around me did not appreciate watching something so incredible while the stench of my pants assaulted their noses.
@brosy: "generic"? yeah every game on PS3 is generic. i don't think any PS3 exclusive games have ever won any awards. pfffft... i don't even think that those PS3 exclusive games are pushing the technology. i mean i would any day pick up one great exclusive over 20 other generic exclusives.
that is why i have Wii. I mean have you seen the amount of Wii Sports that gets sold. like maaaaaaannnnnnn... it outsells 360's and sony's whole stable of exclusives with one fair swoop.
Oh no, were not using the whole "let's not take anything away from it by comparing to other games" when the tables are turned, that s*** just doesn't work that way.
ehhh lets stop being fanboys here for 1 sec, crysis 3 looks better gameplay wise as usual, idk why anyone would prefer halo over crysis. they look similar but ones better....i mean suit customization, different ways to play the game, cloaking, bows, throwing, open world etc. all that gameplay vs. halo which probably only has a little more interesting of a story.
@babyleg lol im still getting it because pockets will not be hurt and this is probably gonna be xbox's best exclusive -_-.all im saying is you cant deny that crysis is better gameplay wise. same goes for tomb raider > uncharted. these exclusives need to step their game up. theres similar games that are just better
Are you kidding? While Crysis is not a bad game by any means, it has a lackluster story and clunky controls. There was an obvious controller lag in Crysis 2 especially on consoles and that still seems to be an issue with Crysis 3.
Just to clarify, Crysis is one of my favorite games. I finished the first one and warhead about 4 times each. Crysis 2, only once. I'm sorry but gameplay wise Crysis has got nothing on Halo.
@Ockbar Fair enough. Halo is not as linear as other shooters. It has a great limited sandbox and previous Halos were more open than Crysis 2 but no where as open as the first Crysis or Warhead. Crysis 3 seems to be going back in that direction which is a good thing.
Still, IMO, the controls in Halo are the best of any FPS. They're so fluid they make the game flow perfectly and make the gameplay and ecounters more intenese and enjoyable.
In terms of gameplay mechanics, Crysis does give you the same options throughout the whole game where in Halo they give you different and more options per encounter.
Both are great games, but this article is about Halo so I think it would be better if we keep it about Halo.
@ Cold Fire i didnt notice input lag on 360 in either single player or multi and controls were like butter! dudes didnt know what hit them, so okay halo with its lack luster gameplay vs crysis lack luster story. like i said you can play crysis in many ways with its ariel assault, cloaking, punching throwing, suit customization, plus being more open world vs halo where you cant do any of that.. its a basic fps with linerity. idk about you but gamplay > story, i play games to PLAY THEM. not listen to them or watch them, thats just a bonus if i get kickass gameplay with a great story. thats my opinion though
because halo is more fun... yes it's that simple...
you can throw in all the cloaking and all that crap and make it as gimmicky as possible but in the end it's halos simple gameplay, briliant AI and pure fun gameplay that make it the better game.
I played both crysis games on the xbox and I would still rate Halo over either of them anyday cos I enjoyed it more
I honestly can't believe how good it looks. I almost thought they would be announcing it as an exclusive for the NEXT xbox. It is a huge jump up from the past games. Definitely some of the best graphics on consoles.
Agreed, the lighting actually made me wonder if it was a next gen game at a few points of the footage. Definitely blown away visually by it, I hope the gameplay can match the visuals.
I haven't been this excited for a Halo game since the original Halo. My hype meter just went through the roof and this has become my number one most anticipated game of the year.
Holy freaking foreunners!! I lowered my hype levels drastically before they showed Halo 4 just so I wouldn't disappoint myself but then baaaaaaaaaaam I was screaming like a little girl on her first period!!!
Really looking forward to playing through this with my bro, and am I the only one who think some of those enemies look like they could be in an HD metroid game?
Microsoft really should allow/fund/help 343 bring this to PC. Considering Halo's multiplayer popularity, they could use it as leverage to finally improve upon and expand Games For Windows Live to the level of quality it should be at.
A testament to how good the development is coming along perhaps? I know that alot of people only troll because they actually want MS to step up their game, like sony has been doing for a while now.
At the moment it looks like its all good in the 343i camp and they've really got to grips with bunnies baby! It could outdo bunnies efforts by the looks of it! Roll on November! Can't wait
Wow, 343 studios did something Bungie coudnt do for me in a while. And thats actually get me excited for a halo game again. I mean Halo Odst and Reach were good games dont get me wrong. But the chief is back baby, its been too long.
better be on nextbox, we'll know tomorrow if ms is going to drop a new console, they damn well better, had my xbox since 2005 november (actually on my fourth)
If ms was going to announce a new console or sony they would have done it at there e3 briefings today. I didn't expect a announcement but I was happy with what I saw at ms confernece and sonys and halo4 is allready preordered and I can't wait. I also can't wait for the new gears and the acension of gods the new ms ip looks promisig but I hope it gets a good polish as it needs it. The other new ms ip by twisted pixle should not diasapoint either. Halo 4 though blew me away and also liked last of us and can't wait to see more from dishonored.
Dexter, I'm pretty sure the new enemies are controlled by Mendicant Bias. Not The Didact. Well that is if you were talking about the new enemies. The terminals in Halo 3 strengthens the fact that the rogue forerunner are controlled by Mendicant Bias, because they talk about how he went Rampant and made an army to fight the forerunner. This might be his army.
There are no rogue Foreunner army, MB sided with Gravemind against the Forerunner's. MB actually attempts to atone for his transgressions against the Forerunner, it's all in the terminals.

Peace,
Gameplay better on Crysis than Halo.......LOL
I agree with Coldfire......

Because I think differently from you?
Those look like badass new enemies.
It's a tad unfair for the people who don't keep up with the novels and all the over types of media thats came out explaining the backstroy behind Halo
I hope they explain it in Halo 4 and not just assume we already know what they are talking about.
I've grasped some bits and bobs from Halo 1-3 but thats all...
Halo 4 says HI!!!!!!!
I was not expecting halo 4 to look that good.
i kinda feels strange
it's been way, way too long
ps4 needs to come out in 2012 too
720p is ancient
*runs*
This looks like it'll be the best since 1 & 2.
