Yeah, I've seen this preview before. It is definetly some cool stuff. Watching it again has gotten me even more pumped up for the game!

Congratz on the milestone. Woot! Great job!

Still, I'm really excited to see the Spartan-IVs in action. I agree that it's too bad Linda won't make an appearence... as far as we know... but this should still be cool.

Man, this sounds like such a cool but complexe project. I wish you luck and I can't wait to see what you've constructed.

Hey dude, welcome to the forums! I saw you mentioned you were a history buff, if you're interested, here's a newly started thread that lets you discuss your favourite historical figures: Chewin3's thread

Hey, it's cool to see more people posting on this thread, really interesting stuff from everyone. I just got back on here to add another historical figure that I admire and that I forgot to mention. Hannibal, son of Hamilcar Barca: He's been known for being the carthaginian commander who led his forces into Rome, but utilimately failed his conquest. I find it unfair how he is judged by his failure, rather than his outstanding military planning. Although some certain ideas were not the best, like walking his armies through the mountains (thus causing himself many casualties) but he held strong through the hard times and kept pushing forwards. The greatest exemple of this would be his performance at the "Battle of Cannae". During this conflict, Hannibal had aproximately 40 000 soldiers while the combined Roman forces had around 90 000 troops. By placing his men in a "U" shape, Hannibal tricked the Romans into attacking his weak center line, thus allowing them to push themselves further and further. Then, the soldiers that made the other two sides of the "U", including his cavalry, closed around and used a "double-envelopment" startegy to completely surround the Romans. During a battle that lasted between 7-8 hours between 70 000 - 80 000 Roman soldiers were killed... Hannibal only lost around 15 000 soldiers. It was from this incredibly brutal battle that the term "annihilation" came to exist, because Hannibal annihilated the Roman armies in one of the most brutally effective battles in military history.

Lol, thats pretty awesome. Thanks for putting the link, its really funny.

Those maps are so descriptive. Thanks A-D, very cool stuff.

I'm probably going to re-build my Skyrim: Fort Dawnguard map, but only if I find that the new pieces will coalesce better than they did in Reach.

I'm pretty sure if they keep all the basic gametypes that were available in Halo 3 for the same map, it'll be a lot of fun. And yes, I heard the map was confirmed as now being called "Ragnarok" . As for the Mantis, last I read they still claim it will only be in campaign, however after seeing that gameplay, I'm not totally sure. It could have simply been a test for possibly using it in matchmaking, or perhaps this was just a small sneak peek of what is to come. Too bad nothing's been 100% confirmed about it I guess...

Wow, it really seems that 343 is keeping us in suspense until the last minute lol.

Heck yeah! What Spartan armour will you use in matchmaking?

Welcome to the forums! I agree with you that I'd like to think that Halo 4 will be a memorable experience!

That second screenshot is pretty cool. I like how the pelican looks, it seems to have more components then the old ones did. I'm getting more excited each day for this game!

Woot! I'm pretty sure I'd fall into the "Legend" category, this is sweet. Thanks for the article Spectral Jester.

Yes I will! (Here's the link to what I think is my best Reach map, I hope to do even better in Halo 4: [PB] Assassin's Creed) Will Spartan Ops be your top priority in Halo 4?

Yes, for sure - I love a good story mode. Will you buy the next Assassin's Creed game (AC3)?

I'm sorry for asking, but I don't quite understand the concept of this. How does this work? Do I go on Xbox and find a tab that says Election 2012 and just watch the vids? Are they only available on the days posted and if we miss these days, does that mean we can't get that "view" to count towards getting the armour? Also, I'm in Canada, am I eligiable for this? Sorry for all the questions Spectral, not sure if you know all the answers, but I'm kind of stumped here...

Wow, its crazy to think that the FPS genre goes back to around the 70s, pretty cool. Good research Reaperi19. Personnaly, I found that with the release of Halo: Combat Evolved, the genre got a nice reboot which led the way to all the more modern-typed FPS games. This is simply my opinion, but I really think that the creation of the Halo Franchise helped revolutionise the FPS genre in general, which in turn, allowed us to have these awesome games that we play today!

Wow Choot' Em, I really like your map. The fact that each phase takes place on the same base map (the island) is very cool. If I had to choose, I would say that my favourite phase is the last one. Snakehead Castle looks epic. The way you used the Walkway large pieces (I belive) makes for an awesome surface structure for both the inside and the outside of the castle. I also love how you used the Sniper Nest to make your snake head. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I really liked the two lasers found atop the Spartan defence position in the second phase. Although I feel bad that you didn't get the chance to submit the map to [PB] contest, atleast it allowed you to make the gametype more original [with the destructable vehicles], something the rest of us weren't allowed to do for reason of contest rules. Keep up the great work! Anyways, I'm glad to see another player posting his [PB] map here on the forum, they're so cool to look at and analyse. If you're interested, here's a link to the map that I submitted to the THFE PB Contest: [PB] Assassin's Creed

Huh, cool observation, I did not notice that at all.
