If that's real then *facepalm*

Same Forerunner texture thats been seen since Halo 1.
I say fake.

^^
Seriously, the environment looks like it's straight out of halo 1.

Positive it was early ALPHA footage of some experimentation with how some of the cutscenes would be done in HA10. Just a supposition though.

And this is the team that decided to make Halo Anniversary, remember. The game that's based on HALO 1. Just saying...

343 didn't do HCEX. Saber did.

It was 343's decision. Saber isn't owned by Microsoft nor do they have instant access to the Halo franchise. So obviously it was 343 who made the decision to make HCEA, not Saber.

I really doubt it, looks absolutely TERRIBLE.

Could be H4's cutscenes actually. They have some new team members on 343 for H4 and they've probably got some random cutscene developer from a game that does things in sloooowwwww mooooottttiiioooonnnnn.



They don't necessarily have to finish up graphics optimization before they show TESTS. They could be testing a cutscene method with an older build of the new engine. ;)

Anything not officially announced should be considered a rumour or fake. This picture is no different. Jaz, please stop talking about these things like you know what you are talking about. No offence.

Anything not officially announced should be considered 'not certain' actually, Wolf. Please stop talking about these things like you have a clue what you're talking about. ;)

Saber did the work on HCEX.

Microsoft created 343 and is just a separate division of Microsoft game studios. Therefore, Microsoft hired Saber to do the work.

Microsoft hired Saber to do the work through 343, yes. But it is still 343 who made the final decision through the budgets they are given.

So wait, 343 is still Microsoft? I thought they broke off?

Bungie broke off from Microsoft.

343 was created by Microsoft, so can't break off.

343 Industries, usually shortened to 343i, is an American video game developer located in Kirkland, Washington. It was established in 2007 by Microsoft Game Studios to oversee development of the Halo science fiction media franchise, which includes video games, novels, comics, and other multimedia content. Its name derives from 343 Guilty Spark, a character within the Halo universe. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/343_Industries

Where are you getting this crap from? Source?

Edit: about financials, as far as I've read, 343 told Saber what to do, and Saber did it. Much like what went on with MS and HPC

So, I was right? 343 are the ones that told Saber what to do, not Microsoft?

feel free to bask in the glory


the screenshot to me just looks like a photoshopped screen of reach where noble six dies, right before he throws off his helmet. I could be wrong though, but I know that's definitely NOT halo 4

No, other people started an argument for no apparent reason. I note that this could actually be Halo 4 and doomsayers come along and make up random lies to try to prove me wrong o.O

That is portent..

Thus we can safely say that the pictures are fake? Agreed?

granted Portent is THE finest looking halo CE map by far.

I agree.

I believe he was saying 343 did not create it.

those are some mad photoshopping skills.

The rocks look different. So whoever made this picture must have access to HEK to change the rocks, then add in an HUD and then set it as a fullscreen image then taken a picture of his/her monitor using a camera.

Lol.

Rocks have permutations, so they change every time that map is loaded.

The entire thing was probably photoshopped.

The arms are from reach, probably from that released biped. The scene looks like it was rendered in max, or halo 1 using OS graphics (which is the more unlikely of the two). Need I say anything about the HUD?

yes. You should make it. :D

It's likely.

You appear to be doubling numbers.

It r real, see?
