Exactly what I was saying, even if Bungie did Forerunner in Halo 4 fans will never be bloody happy.

Also, I thought you was talking about Lego blocks lmao. But yeah it does look like that, but it's just a common humanoid style design, you could compare it to loads of things

My theory is simply that the elite was disintegrated by some forerunner weapon. But did you guys see that jackals head?! WTF? LOL, a snub-nosed jackal, a flat-faced elite, and a fat-headed grunt eh? 343, why you screwin with everything's head?! :P

The game still looks great i cant deny that :P But they even gave every one of those forerunner robots heads and animal characteristic, I prefer forerunner entities having a more robotic appearance, like sentinels. That's what im used to.

If you look at halo 3 art of all the different forerunner machines you can see how much they've changed, when i thought of halo 4 enemies i pictured varying sentinel-like machines, and land based forms too, not animal like bots.

Like this:


But who knows what's in store? I just say there better real sentinels somewhere in Halo 4, that'd be nostalgic :)

E: heres a description of the new enemies: http://halo4nation.com/news/character-summeries/

Because he's a human.
Human = reclaimer

Doop? I don't get what you don't understand here, there is a fine line in an art style where things can still be fun/new/creative and still look like it fits with the overall universe. The things they showed does not.

When you first encountered the flood, they didn't look like anything else in the Halo universe that you had seen up to that point. Same basic idea. It's something you are not yet used to.

Plus, we haven't seen many actual structures yet. All we've seen from the environment is jungle.

Thats different though. The Forerunners have been present for the last 5 games and nothing has indicated towards this different art style, and it makes it seem as if it dosent fit at all.

Can't say I love the return of the covenant, though I love how this is looking so far.
Also, the new AR <3.


Also, the Forerunners if i recall were a very widespread long-lasting empire. Different designs in different places could very much be possible...






But hey, you can't have a Halo game without the Covenant, right?

A thought occurred to me. In the end of that trailer, Cortana says "i will not let you leave this planet" or whatever. but who says she's talking to the chief? No one, your mind only went there because she also said "i was enlisted 8 years ago, AI deteriorate after 7". So this trailer is supposed to trick you into thinking that she's falling apart, and no longer on your side.


But i also noticed somewhere that i saw a picture of the new enemies with the parts that would normally be glowing orange, but they were glowing blue instead. Now what color was that sphere glowing? and what color does Cortana glow? idk maybe i'm looking at things that aren't there. But it was just a thought i had.

Aside from the generic sci fi designes i am interested in how the gameplay will play out with these new enemies 343 is making.

Maybe. But a lot of Covenant things glow blue, too.

Wrong thread.

They're not forerunners. Cortana said that the're not organic, I remember reading somewhere that they are robots created by the forerunners for defensive reasons.

Yep, like in the book, they are like small war sphinxes controlled by ancillas (forerunner ai) And if u read the descriptions of them they are forerunner built, they are promethean defense robots, effectively replacing promethean warriors, who are living breathing warriors.

so by this info I'm guessing they're meant to be a different class completely from the sentinels? That would help explain the difference in appearance I guess.

okay so i know we're fighting promethieans, ^he's dead on with that... anybody notice that they have 4 arms tho? and like 12 fingers? also the big ball thing is refered to as "he" which is also what 343gs calls the didact. therefor im 99 % sure the big ball thing is the didact or some form of him or his vessel. what confuses me is why hes so mad... the voice is either the didact or another precursor. thats the 1% chance in my mind. there is another precursor that has corrupted the didact. which still confuses me. the "ancient evil" uses the didacts logo/name... but everything ive read on the guy suggests he i calm and composed. not some ancient evil. win on the infinity being brought into reqium! also if those are odsts i hope they are vaz and mal! (so i can kill them) if not i hope they are spartan iv's! all of whom are onboard! also linda, fred, kelly and a few of the startan III's are also suppossed to be aboard the ship. :D one other thing im confused abt tho... if its a shieldworld around a planet... where is the sunlight coming from...

also is it just me or is halo now crysis.. not that im against that. i approve of the hit markers and i think it will make for an exciting title. and no beef but as much as i agree with higuys view on this straying from original halo, if i wanted that, id well ya no, play original halo so im looking forward to the new fighting styles! also the parallax graphics look amazing just saying :)

well, 343 made all that stuff, so i imagine they came up with a way to reintroduce them. :D

The emblem that flashed on the screen is Diadacts.

well, we are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DSAIExSnig&feature=plcp

it's said in this video interview that these are indeed promethians

Oh look at this.

Honestly I always thought Elites looked like the Bionicle Rakshi anyway..... So do this goes.... Then again it IS possible that Bungie was somehow inspired by the Bionicles. EVER THOUGHT OF THAT!?!!??

I also think this is going to be a good play although it does graphically remind me of Crysis. Sounds like fun to me.

Haters gonna hate

Rahkshi released in 2003, Halo: Combat Evolved released in 2001. Combat Evolved is more heavily inspired by Aliens.

I used to love that show

Lol, me too. But then going back and rewatching it, it's like a completely different show. The voices are all waked out, especially Jeremys'. Lol. Then again a french anime translated to English, what can you expect, right?.

They're Promethean defence bots, apparently like the master builder's "replacement" for living warrior servants, like how in the forerunner book they wanted to replace warrior servants, so I guess those are effectively their replacements

The funny thing is, you will get it.
