Wow, Tuskin and I are talking to this dude on Youtube who is ensiting Halo 4 is better looking than the Cry Engine 3, Unreal Engine 4, and Frostbite 2 engine at it's maximum specs.

IT'S NOT! Stop with the weak arguments!

Stop being dumb, and start listening to the people who actually know what they are talking about! Hell dude, you don't even need to listen to the people who know what they are talking about, you can see for yourself in official videos, not leaked shitty quality game play.

Did you not notice the bad texturing on the vehicles? I know the resolution degrades the overall picture but the main focus was the vehicles which you seem to be ignoring.

Plus those are screenshots taken mid gameplay, the texture on the warthog may not have fully loaded yet when he took it. As I said before, pre-beta gameplay.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37262265]I, eh, what? Did you not notice the bad texturing on the vehicles? I know the resolution degrades the overall picture but the main focus was the vehicles which you seem to be ignoring.[/QUOTE] So Texture streaming load errors in a beta is your proof? The vehicles look much better than that in game, especially the warthog, it's the best looking warthog I've seen in Halo (texture and resolution wise.) Why are you basing your opinion of a game based what content that is NOT the final Representation of a the game. The last time Halo 4 looked that bad, was March!

Human error, engine limitations; no amount of hard work will defeat them all. You are really being dicky over something that isn't even out yet.

[QUOTE=breenkiller;37262638]hes the only one i have seen complain about the graphics and i am on bungie and waypoint pretty much 24/7[/QUOTE] It's even more sad because it's complaints about bugs in leaked gameplay that is in no way the final representation of Halo, that wasn't meant for the eyes of the public.

The Boltshot looks like the weapon seen in this video 48 seconds in: [video=youtube;0o-rwNODTsU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o-rwNODTsU&feature=player_detailpage#t=48s[/video]

Wonder what this means? Is Halsey in the game? Or is he yelling about something relating to her?
[QUOTE=Tuskin;37263469]Around 43 seconds in, at the top of the script, you see a Line from Laskey yelling 'Doctor Halsey!' Wonder what this means? Is Halsey in the game? Or is he yelling about something relating to her?[/QUOTE] My guess is they're just referencing her, but...a model already exists, and since Jen Hale did her VO anyway, I suppose it's possible. Also, time for a fandom indulgence; what do you guys think is the future of the Halo Array? As of Glasslands and Primordium, it's known that the UNSC has found and currently occupies a few of the Halo installations- including 07 and 03, with 05's location being known as a result of Halo 2 (it's implied the ring is glassed). That leaves 3 remaining, unaccounted for Halos. Presumably, one of the top priorities would be to find and contain the remainder of the Array in order to prevent any firings or accidental releases of Flood specimens (again), or to prevent Forerunner tech falling into enemy hands. However, the potential for abuse is ridiculously high, especially with ONI at the helm.
I think what's next for the Halo Array is that the major factions will fight over for control of them and might end of firing a few.
she has actual lines on the script
[QUOTE=breenkiller;37264471]she has actual lines on the script[/QUOTE] Halsey is probably just on the infinity too see how the Spartan IV's are doing with their new augs and to help out with it's mission of "peace".
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37264534]Halsey is probably just on the infinity too see how the Spartan IV's are doing with their new augs and to help out with it's mission of "peace".[/QUOTE] yeah
Unless something changes in the next novel, as of now, Halsey is being quarantined on a station in orbit of Installation 03 as a punishment of sorts for giving ONI a hard time.
Cool, a possibly new Halo 3 easter egg has been found using free camera mods. Not too crazy, but interesting: [video=youtube;EdZ9Qlvr_rk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdZ9Qlvr_rk&feature=g-u-u[/video]
5 years later and we're still discovering new stuff. Bungie must be laughing their asses off. [editline]16th August 2012[/editline] Did anybody else ever wonder how the fuck Thel knows how to fly a goddamn UNSC frigate?

[editline]16th August 2012[/editline] Did anybody else ever wonder how the fuck Thel knows how to fly a goddamn UNSC frigate?[/QUOTE] I believe Cortana did the flying. Which raises the question. Why didn't Cortana close the cargo bay doors? AI's aren't supposed to make those kinds of mistakes.
[QUOTE=certified;37264982]I believe Cortana did the flying. Which raises the question. Why didn't Cortana close the cargo bay doors? AI's aren't supposed to make those kinds of mistakes.[/QUOTE] implying that cortana isn't breaking down because she's been in service for what, 8 years?
[QUOTE=No Party Hats;37264990]implying that cortana isn't breaking down because she's been in service for what, 8 years?[/QUOTE] Erm... 8 years in Halo 4 =/= 4 years in Halo 3 According to the Halo 4 E3 trailer Cortana was commissioned 8 years ago at the time of Halo 4.
[QUOTE=certified;37265003]Erm... 8 years in Halo 4 =/= 4 years in Halo 3 According to the Halo 4 E3 trailer Cortana was commissioned 8 years ago at the time of Halo 4.[/QUOTE] Yeah, Cortana was actually commissioned about a year earlier, in Halo 3. Maybe less. I'm hesitant to give an exact date, but she's [B]very[/B] young. I could swear she was brand new right before The Fall of Reach, and Chief was just adjusting to her hitching a ride...which would mean she's only 3 or 4 months old when Halo 3 ends. [editline]16th August 2012[/editline] But, Cortana flying doesn't explain why Thel goes into the cockpit and assumes the conn. Or why the Chief doesn't magnetize his damn boots and walk to the frakking cockpit. I know, plotholes that can be explained away easily, but still. Things you notice 5 years down the line and all that.

So anyone know what the deal with the giant Pelicans are? Seen them in a few Spartan Ops gameplay videos.
