Sure does seem like MC has a habit of being grabbed by Knights/Elites so he can punch then after they growl at him.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Plenty of time left before November 6th.

It's the opening to Requiem.
Forge ViDoc showing all the environments please.
So plenty of time for a beta amirite
Nope, very salty about multiplayer. At this point, multiplayer can be terrible as long as campaign is as good as it looksWhat a nice guySee, not all of HaloGAF is salty.
It seems like they might have some viDocs on other aspects of the game, but right now its just the campaign.

Bueno.
Hopefully this is the last of the campaign ones. (I don't want anymore environments spoiled!)

Awesome observation! That relieves a lot of my worries about it being a load out option.
Whoa, that actually makes sense, and would be amazing.

...we've only seen orange Prometheans during the day and blue ones at night or when it's dark out.
Are the blue ones just on night shift rather than being controlled by something else?

yeah it was very apparent to me during the video from Wu
The drain rate while overcharging is insane also
losing about 10% a full second while holding it I believe
which part, cause honestly both are controversial
(I don't know any of the spoilery stuff, so I'm not tagging this. Just random speculation)
No one correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd guess the blue ones are controlled by a rampant Cortana.
Both parts, but camo sniping is honestly the biggest pile of crap anyone could do in these games. So cheesy & broken.
I say, we have hope it will be great balanced fun!
I almost wish 343 made a couple of "Custom Game" abilities. Like really crazy stuff. I'm thinking like, super thruster pack, going up. Or maybe an armor lock, but when you punch the ground it lets out a damaging shockwave that pushes people back.
You know, stuff just for fun.

Then why does Cortana scream when one attacks Chief?

Considering where we left off at the end of Halo 3, I'm going to guess Halo 4's T2C (time-to-crate) to be under 15 seconds.
Are you talking about the scripted event where a Knight grabs chief and exposes its skull? Like in the E3 demo?
Seemed like that was fairly early in the game. Before the rampancy part, at least.
edit: Wait, yeah, in the new vidoc, a blue Knight grabs Chief and Cortana flips out. Maybe not her then, lol. Why'd they change the colors from the E3 demo?
I finished Primordium yesterday, can anyone answer this...
The book was a pain to get through, even the parts where it supposedly picked up were rather dull to me. Doesn't help that the biggest surprise of all was spoiled on here, oh well.
So 343 has a UNSC ship at his command now? What time line is this in? Is this before his "death" to Sgt. Johnson?

I think 343i should rethink their marketing strategy.
Don't get me wrong, those two vidocs plus everything else were amazing and really got me hyped, but 343i have made their point that this game is going to be amazing and they need to focus on other things... (Like the game itself). Otherwise the way I see it, is that we're going to get into Halo 4 with absolutely nothing new to be amazed by.
I mean we've seen every weapon, every armour piece, half the multiplayer maps, enemy types, how the game starts and we've even seen the script of a major plot point in the campaign! You get the point... and there are still two months until release! I remember going into Halo 3's campaign completely unspoiled, and it was amazing. Reach's was spoiled for me, and besides the horrendous script, I wasn't surprised at all by anything (Bungie's biggest mistake was showing us the Sabre gameplay before release, IMO).
I feel as if I've already played Halo 4 just by the sheer amount of content that has been released, and that isn't exactly a good thing.

Camo Sniping is bitchy, no denying it, but I cannot ignore it in a team based scenario
When I play with a driver, an OBJ carrier, a heavy vehicle guy, an ordnance whore and a frontline player (which I do)
its an obvious and extremely tactical use of my abilities
I would never go into MM solo and camo snipe, but its the role Ive come accustom to filling during my time with Reach and playing with my group of friends who all fill the other necessary roles needed for a victory
I finished Primordium yesterday, can anyone answer this...

that is set in present day AFAIK not sure the date
wow i hate you so much, lol
Slightly Live
Dirty tag dodger
It's after that time period.
We don't know for sure but it seems to be be between Glasslands/The Thursday Way and Halo 4 or after Halo 4.

Terribly sorry about that by the way :/
I can assure you camo sniping is not required for a victory, and even if you do win, it's tainted!
Eh, it's whatever. Like I said, if it were new GRRM book, I'd be huntin' dat ass down, but with these, meh.
Reach wasn't really a situation that can be applied anywhere else, though. I mean, when the tagline is "From the beginning, you know the end," what do you expect? I don't know what exactly was spoiled for you, but the overarching plot was about as predictable as it gets. Team goes on mission, things go bad, planet is invaded, team dies in sacrifice, protagonist dies completing the mission. Minor, relatively meaningless bits plot beats in between. No matter what they show with 4, I don't think I could predict in a hundred years what the state the fiction's gonna be in -- I couldn't say that with Reach, because it wasn't pushing the timeline forward. I have to imagine for every throwaway thing they show like the armor, there's something big and exciting they're gonna keep under wraps. We've seen what, maybe three or four of the Campaign environments? That's on par with every game in the series, and it hasn't really been a huge issue before. Just like the other games in the main series, at some point shit's gonna hit the fan and it'll be all new content.
On the topic at hand, camo snipers are jerks. Abusing a broken mechanic. It's at least as shitty as jetpacking above the map to snipe or evade swording.
I feel the exact opposite, I feel like they've shown the same few environments in all of the videos will little context as to what is going on.
I'd take direct feed matches of MP on every map and still not be satisfied though. I wish we could get a 15 min match a week like the PAX video. That would be amazing....

Next week we are getting the Covenant Weapons video so I'd wager we'll see a new map and some fun stuff there on the multiplayer front.

it certainly isnt required, but I wont say its tainted.
Playing on hemorrhage and people jetpacking up to guardians know where and sniping, thats abuse.
Im on the playing field, god knows, if you kill me once assuredly the damn thing will despawn by the time I can run back to where ever I was.
I dont care if you disagree with the tactic, I just dont want my sportsmanship to be "tainted"
My k/d isnt through the roof, I still play the game as close to the line as anyone, but when the situation presents itself I will take that role because it helps the team
ill take your "lolz" as an indication of jest
hate is a strong word :'(
OP finally updated. Today has been unbridled anarchy at work (I'm still working).
As someone who bitched long and hard about the lack of behind the scenes content for Halo 4, I've really appreciated the the past two videos (10 minutes each!). Both nicely in depth, really well put together pieces. Thanks, 343. Sounds like some multiplayer content is on the way soon as well, yay.

The Hero Awakens video from PAX. Here you go, if you haven't seen it:

Just realized this wasn't in the OP, adding.
I just noticed that the short "Halo 4 prototype" clip was from 2010.
It's crazy, they had some playable form of the multiplayer the same year Reach came out. Sure, it was probably barely anything, but still. Kind of interesting. Wonder how far that weapon made it into development.
I'd also kill for one of the first builds of this game, lol. Seems like quite a bit changed over development.
