The video makes it seem like what we are fighting isnt an AI. they present it as the enemy is actual forerunner.
when really the enemies are more akin to sentinels than the actual Warriors servant caste of the forerunners.

We know that how? To the best of my knowledge, they have yet to confirm exactly what the Promethean enemies ARE.

 

[m23]

Anyone up for some halo 3?

 

[DeadNames]

MP ViDoc next week?

Reveal of ranks?

?

Please?

Why don't they show us Jetpack already!

Please?

next week is Covenant Weapons most likely.

 

[DeadNames]

next week is Covenant Weapons most likely.

Source?

We saw it in a couple of the vids.

Hopefully they aren't as OP as Reach's.

They should have a cooldown. For instance, you can't use it again until you hit the ground.

 

[Gabotron ES]

There can be only one Gabo...

The end of the bulletin all by says it out loud

Well, Cortana made it very clear in the E3 demo that they're "definitely not organic," so they can't be actual Forerunners in the traditional sense. Perhaps they're

AIs brought back by someone/thing to kill anything perceived as a threat?

(potentially mild/medium spoilery speculation)

 

[IHaveIce]

The end of the bulletin all by says it out loud

yep.

And that wraps up today’s edition of your weekly Halo Bulletin. See you next week! Through the scope of a Covenant weapon, if all goes according to plan…

here.

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

Well the Greg Bear books outline what a forerunner/ Warrior servant looks like. And in the E3 gameplay Cortana says they aren't organic, that they are some sort of AI defense mechanism.

 

[DeadNames]

The end of the bulletin all by says it out loud

Here's to some new weapons that we haven't seen!

I don't think I've been this excited for a game in a while...

 

[Imperial Hot]

I got what may be a crazy theory. I think each game will introduce a new enemy type, Halo 5 with actual Forerunners, and Halo 6 with Precursors?

Probably wrong but yeah.

 

[Hey You]

The video was great. I really want multiplayer vidocs though.

[nillapuddin]

No disrespect to people who have (a gap between their front two teeth)
but..

Ive been noticing this alot throughout the development of the game, and it really bothers me to be honest

idk if its just overly shaded, but I dont care for it

Cortana is a "hot naked blue chick" who happens to also be the most intelligent entity in the known universe (for now)

so you give her a gap in her front teeth.. ?


doesnt make sense to me
again, maybe Im just looking at it wrong or something, but it seems off to me regardless

what is this armor ability..?

autosentry

 

[Poker Face]

what is this armor ability..?

 

[DeadNames]

Autosentry, I think.

Plywood you know what to do.

"We didn't want the Prometheans to look like monsters. They're not monsters."

"We didn't want the Prometheans to look like robots. They're not robots."

Well...about that..

I wish the Prometheans looked a little less monstery (red skull, gremlin looking thing in suit) and less roboty. Some of those concepts looked a lot better IMO, Prometheans just don't quite look Forerunner to me.

To be clear, this isn't a diss to the artists, its good art (well, the skull seems creatively starved a bit). Its just not quite doing it for me, it seems out of place. Also, to be clear, the design has grown on me, I just wish it were slightly more sleek and well, forerunner.

Good Idea but (attention: big Halo 4 spoiler)

Spoiler

with the revival of the Didact we see one REAL Forerunner already in Halo 4

But this could be really cool.

Don't read this if you have not read the books

Spoiler

or they are really all forerunners... Morphed into AI by the composer as a guaranteed method to avoid being infected by the flood...

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

Sentry turret maybe?

[Garrett 2U]

My jaw literally just dropped.

Whoever was asking for grass, there you muthafuckin go!

 

[senador]

That's Campaign, why do you guys think its Narrows? They said no map spaces being reused. It looks like similar, but Halo CE had plenty of bridges like that.

 

[DeadNames]

It's...

Beautiful :').

How is 343 pulling this off on the xbox?

343 are wizards confirmed.

 

[DopeyFish]

It's prototype footage

Meaning

You test wherever the hell you want to

If an MP map is in best shape to do testing of collision systems and AI routines in a small place... Then you do it.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Someone GIF the weapon forming animations please!

 

[Oozer3993]

Is... is this a dude in a suit?

 

[Portugeezer]

Must be an Xbox 720 game.

 

[Arnie]

The lighting does have a very CG-like quality.

I'm still on a seesaw with the Promethean Knight design; I understand the ethos behind representing the organic centre of them entombed in this technological shell, similar to how the Didact is also encased in his cryptum, but the skull just looks incredibly goofy, and almost childish. The bionic toy is very much how it looks to me, and it also looks too overtly 'evil'.

To me it's just a bankrupt idea to connote menace with a skull, which is why I did warm to the idea of the skull being more a representation of life, not intent.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Looks incredible. Contrary to most of HaloGAF I play Halo for multiplayer alone (at least after 1), but this looks to change that a bit. Really excited to test the new A.I. with badass weapons and see how the story unfolds.

 

[Ken]

Is... is this a dude in a suit?

Yeah it's Gray Fox in a new Metal Gear.

I like robots. *selfavatarquote*

I think they nailed them not looking like monsters, but they do very much look like robots.

I just posted this in the other thread:

Non-Stuttering YouTube Version Re-Uploaded!

HD Versions will kick in momentarily. Still processing.

EDIT: 720 is a go.

Damn you, now I can't stop seeing

 

[Reagan's BR]

The scene at 4:20 looks like level 1 from Halo 2.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Ok, I can't deny- This looks awesome:

Is... is this a dude in a suit?

Yup, seems thats how the suits functioned, I like that protype better, now it looks like an evil gremlin monster in a suit. The slightly dead person in a suit look is a lot more..creepy.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

The scene at 4:20 looks like level 1 from Halo 2.

Come home to a 10 minute ViDoc? Dank.

Puff puff, pass.

What's that weapon at 7:10? Looks awesome.

 

[Tashi]

Wow I should have just watched the video instead of looking here first. I seriously thought that was Narrows. FUCK!

I was hyped lol

 

[Mister Negative]

Come home to a 10 minute ViDoc? Dank.

 

[Tunavi]

Glad we're getting narrows. That map should play very well with a hitscan BR.


Wait I guess we aren't getting narrows.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Puff puff, pass.

Uh it is covies using boarding craft on a human vessel through windows. That is similar to Halo 2.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

I wonder of you can instakill watchers if you throw a grenade and while they spin it You shoot the nade. Should't be that hard if you shoot at the apex of the spin on the left or right.

 

[cocamola]

So; Gif's?
