Official Halo 4 Launch Trailer

That makes so much more sense now that I've read the first Halo book. Actually is a decent "400 pages in 1 minute" synopsis.

Yeah it does.

As much as people hate the Halo series and that the story is rather derivative, as a sci-fi nut I'm looking forward to the game. It's a rather interesting story, not the greatest, but interesting nonetheless. It's kept me interested in this game for quite a while now and I'd like to see where it goes after Halo 3.

Wasn't Halo originally planned to be a six-part series? Anyone remember something about that? I know I read about that several years ago, and I think around the time Halo 2 or 3 was released. Or, maybe my memory is fuzzy again. :p

But yeah that trailer was sweet. I don't care what anybody says Halo is the best series ever.

I really enjoy playing through the single player and reading the books. I know the multi-player is generally well regarded but I'm not terribly interested in it. :D

At the time Halo 1 was released, it was almost as good as Half-Life 1 was in terms of combining storytelling and a FPS game together. I've kept up with the series as much as possible and still missing a book I haven't read yet. It is still a good story, even for someone that enjoys reading science-fiction. Of course there are better stories, it's still a good and enjoyable story even for a console. And, there aren't a lot of good or great FPS stories on consoles or very little of it on PC nowadays, given the likes of CoD and Battlefield games. Halo is like an exception to the rule.

I'm not interested in multiplayer either.

This was my thoughts exactly, while I feel the Halo series is great. Lack of keyboard and mouse support for a FPS just kept me from going back. Why on Earth, Microsoft of all companies, never made a keyboard and mouse for the 360 is beyond me. Those gadgets to use K&M never did it for me too much lag in the response.

So I wish they would finally go ahead and start making Halo for PC again... Doubt it will happen though, just like there is no Killer Instinct for 360 which doesn't make any sense.

You only really need keyboard and mouse for twitch shoots the rest a controller works just fine. Keyboard and mouse is just easy for those who are controller retarded.

My penis just jumped up a bit at the mere mention of a new Killer Instinct. That will be a pre-order by me if they ever do a remake.

Actually, it might play on that. Especially at console resolutions (Halo 4 will supposedly be done at 1280x720 then unconverted).

I've been running console games at higher than console resolutions on much weaker hardware for a while now. Remember that these are Xbox 360 games, and while heavily optimized at this point, they're running on pretty old hardware form a PC perspective.

I am a bit disappointed that more Halo isn't on the PC. The first Halo looked really good in the PC version and was pretty fun to boot (though the pistol was a bit overpowered with mouse aiming). They have Halo 2 PC but it's really about time for Halo 3 PC (and ODST too). I can understand them wanting to wait until after Halo 4 has been out to release Reach though.

There is no waiting. Its a marketing decision to pull you to an xbox. Don't expect to ever play Halo 3 or beyond on PC ever unless it via an emulator. Getting you interested in the series was probably the only reason Halo 1 & 2 were released on PC in the first place.
 
Were the people in that trailer CGI? If so that's some of the best CGI I've ever seen. I have a feeling it might have been partially live-action, though.
