  • Awesome

  • I'm really disappointed that there won't be dual wielding, but everything else sounds great. This and Borderlands 2 are definitely my most anticipated games of this year.
  • AwEsOmE!!!!!!

  • This music is SO AWESOME! It gets me so pumped up for Halo 4!

  • Cant wait for more Halo!Thanks  GI for this.

  • COOL!!

  • That music is excellent.  I could get used to hearing that every time I turn the game on.

  • I'm really glad 343 had the ballz to go and really improve on the multiplayer gameplay. Same goes for Treyarch (finally) doing something new with the CoD franchise. Both games really needed someone to go in and mix it up.
  • *** AWESOME

  • HALO FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Is that new Halo music at the end there 'cause it sounds freakin amazing?
  • Rainbow Dash: AWESOME

  • It sounds like a great game can't what for it to comb out.

  • Aweshum !!!

  • Nerdgasm

  • First off, thank you for asking my question! How bittersweet that I got the answer I did. I would like to know why he considers this:

    to be "silky smooth".

    I have decent broadband, I have no trouble with any other FPS on the Xbox aside from Halo games (and yes my ports are open). I see stuff like what is in that video every other game, and I am not the only one. Things are even worse in cooperative modes, and people have been complaining about this since ODST introduced Firefight.

    Man, I love Halo so much, and I was hoping this next one would be 'the game' that finally ended this nonsense. I just feel like I am being herded into playing drab, war shooters just so I don't have to deal with this.
  • Awesome

  • AWeSoME!!!!

  • People saying Halo 4 isn't Halo anymore, they are just afraid of change. Everyone is afraid of change. They're afraid to lose the familiar and step into the unknown side of things. They fail to realize though that without the change Halo 4 brings, it would get stale and Halo would start to diminish and eventually be gone all together. Halo must change in order to survive.

    Also, I *** love the new Halo music they are coming up with. Every time I hear the part where the drums ( or whatever it is) comes in I just can't help but picture this...

    Chief standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking a valley with Forerunner tech in it. He reaches to his back to pull out his weapon. The camera closes in on Chief. His armor is battered, scarred, and dented. He hears a strange noise in the distance lasting only a second before silences returns. He grips his weapon tight in his hands. Breaking the silence, Cortana asks, "Is this it? Is this the end?" And Chief responds, "No. It's only the beginning..."

    Kinda cheesy but it's what that music makes me think of.
