That was referring to the weapon specifically, I think. I don't think it'll be a MP map. It's probably just meant as a little thing to make returning fans smile (or shudder, as the case may be).

I think that's probably just a different version of that Lava Spartan Ops level. It looked a lot like Narrows in the SO gameplay I saw from E3 or Comic-Con.
edit: after looking that up, it's actually more different than I remember. I doubt it's Narrows as an MP map though, probably just some area inspired by Narrows.

Overdoziz made a good point on twitter that it doesn't have the side ramps.
Probably not narrows...

Ah Narrows...yet another garbage map that looks good only because it was packed in with the rest of Halo 3's maps. The flag fumbling possibility of bottom bridge was the only entertaining thing about it. I hope this is something else entirely.

Guys, just think about it. There are enemies. It's not multiplayer. It's not a Narrows remake.

There are more than a few "bridge sections" that are very similar to that throughout the Halo campaigns. I don't think it necessarily points to Narrows being the remake. That being said, if it is I wouldn't necessarily mind; Narrows wasn't bad (though I do cringe at the thought of the jet pack being involved) at all really.

That's not narrows, that's just a forerunner bridge in campaign. Why would there be jackals on narrows?

Anyone have a non screwed up youtube link? The encoding seems all weird in the waypoint vid, and the press site isn't responding for me.

I'm uploading the press version now. It'll be like 10 minutes or so.
EDIT: More like 30... youtube sure is taking its sweet time. Sorry :/

GUYS, THIS IS A CAMPAIGN VIDEO. Why would the reveal the multiplayer remake in a campaign video? Just because we see them reusing the architecture from Narrows doesn't mean we're getting Narrows as a multiplayer map.
Edit : That scene of the Knight scanning the UNSC soldier (Spartan IV?) gave me chills.

idk, frankie did say they bastardized that level pretty badly to get it to fit into the e3 demo space they were looking for

Might just be an animation that happens when you get too close to one, they grab you, then that happens. Would be lame if that's the case though.

All of these look better than what we got...
nah that's a terminal
And then I imagined a remake of Terminal with that thing flying through the map instead of the train. And then I was sad because it's too cool to actually happen.

NARROWS!?!
I am happy with this, I thought they were going to remake some old BTB map which would have been disappointing because I feel that most of them would have been rather empty looking in Halo 4. Also, CA is very creative when it comes to BTB maps

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that Sentinels are confirmed.

DAT prototype weapon. Reminds me of this shotgun from Armored Core: For Answer (right arm).
Reminds me of this shotgun from Armored Core: For Answer (right arm).
I begin to understand the Knight aesthetic when they talk about it like this; the skull acting as visual language for an entombed body, similar to how the Didact was entombed, for example, really works for me on a fundamental level. It gives both personality, but keeps them alien, and menacing. And most of all mystery.
Which just makes me sadder. A video like this does so much for how I view and appreciate the game, that they haven't take measures to explain other aspects of the design in such detail, which subsequently leaves me feeling bummed about the most important part of the package (for me), is borderline negligent.
And I love how the Didact is teased, but never dwelled upon. At this point I really do hope the sphere's all we see until the game's on our screens.

So this must mean Sentinel beam? I hope so.
As people had said earlier, it's most likely just a "Halo bridge".
To be honest, I'd prefer a spiritual successor than a literal remake. Or if it was a literal remake- I'd like it to be a different environment.

In the fourth picture, there is a Phantom and a Pelican, both with their engines active and flying. And they are not shooting at each other. Possible friendly Covenant forces at some point?

That's definitely more Narrows than the bridge from AotCR(which is the one I'm assuming you're talking about).
That was also my first thought.
I mean the Promethans were introduced in the GI article but the Sentinels don't count as them.
Maybe their Beam is also no Promethan weapon and we have to see it.
Also next week Covenant Weapons Video like it seems?
