Well, I'll have to buy Halo 4 next year, because I'll have to buy Resident Evil 6 in November (it launches in October anyway)

First post so I thought I would reply to a thread about my favourite franchise :P

This game looks to be shaping up VERY nicely, the recent E3 reveal looked STUNNING


(skip to 1:30)

The MLG gameplays seem to show great, classic looking halo multiplayer (and they have also said it feels like halo)



If you haven't seen/heard they are doing a live action 75 minute series/movie and here is a trailer (looking high budget)

Yeah, I heard it myself once while looking at all the Halo 4 stuff, and it sounds amazing. Almost nothing makes a game more than its OST in my opinion.

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm actually looking forward to Halo 4. 343 seems to be doing more with the series than Bungie did with their past two or three entries; the Metroid Prime vibe and reinvention of the series' musical tone are really appealing to me. I'm enjoying those samples.

I wish it'd get a PC release. It looks good, but I don't have a 360.

I really can't wait for this game, everything I've seen so far seems great, specifically the atmosphere of the gameplay given off in the E3 demo.

What made me interested in the game was the different approach to it. I was just viewing movie commercials and I came across the "Behind the Scenes" trailer for Halo 4. It definitely has something different going for it this time, and it definitely convinced someone like me, who isn't the biggest fan of Halo.

Currently, i don't own an Xbox, but if this turns out to be any good, I may just have to pick one up. The footage I've seen looks really fun, and I don't like FPS's.

a bunch of co-workers of mine told me to play this game, i've already played it.... but they insist. so i rented it but i f*cking forgot about gold crap, so does anybody have any trails lying around?
