New Halo 4 In-Game Screens and Footage

By Brian P Rubin | 05 March 2012 | 62 Comments   

Did you want to see new video footage of Halo 4 fresh from GDC? Then you’re on the right page.

And over on Gamerlive, there are a couple new screenshots from 343 Industries’ Halo 4, both of which look pretty swanky. And over on the NeoGAF forums, they’ve got some more screen grabs, and even some fancy animated gifs depicting in-game footage. The developer’s assistant of photography, Paul Featherstone, even went so far as to post confirmation of the shots’ and footage’s authenticity on the forums, explaining that they were “100% untouched” and taken using a “debug cam with in-engine Depth-of-field.”

All of this looks super-detailed and very, very nice…let’s just hope it plays as good as it looks.

Take a look…and let us know how you feel in the comments.

    The first look….looked surprisingly spectacular.

    Sorry not playing the series since it turned X-Box exclusive.

      what about h1 and h2 that was on pc n3wbs ?

    ^ Good thing you’re still commenting on it though

  4. Posted by Liam Roberts on 05 March 12 at 9:00am

    need’s more campaign info. Glad to see the return of the BR and glad they are tweaking armour abilities which despite what the so called “MLG elite” say where a good idea.

    • Posted by Mugenite on 05 March 12 at 9:03am

      They also need to throw in some more info on forge. I literally spent 100+ hours forging in Reach alone. And the campaign should be pretty epic since it’s looking to be primarily based in foreign territory.

  5. Posted by Mugenite on 05 March 12 at 9:01am

    Damn. Everything so shiny and sleek… And the best part is that the game isn’t even in it’s beta form yet. I’m really excited to see how this game turns out. Maybe we’ll get to customize our weapons and player traits.

    @LimeDude – Huh? It was never not exclusive. MS took it from Apple and had since used it as their primary go-to xbox title. It was never on any system but the xbox brand.

  6. Posted by Jason on 05 March 12 at 9:19am

    This will be for 360 right?

    • Posted by Mugenite on 05 March 12 at 9:38am

      No.

    • Posted by Adam on 05 March 12 at 9:47am

      Yes, obviously.

    • Posted by Mugenite on 05 March 12 at 11:03am

      No, no it won’t. Trust me.

      • Posted by Dudeman on 05 March 12 at 11:28am

        You’re an idiot. 343 has said it will be for 360

        • Posted by Sebastian Shimmings on 05 March 12 at 2:01pm

          You’re a bigger idiot who can’t recognize sarcasm

      • Posted by aussieboy on 25 May 12 at 7:28pm

        you are a complete idiot it is for 360 watch the end of the trailor halo 4 is taking 360 to a whle new level

  7. Posted by Jessey on 05 March 12 at 10:13am

    I bet they push a halo 4 for windows 8. Now it might be a year after the launch on the xbox but i think there’s a good chance of that happening, specially with all the xbox live integration with windows 8.

    • Posted by Mugenite on 05 March 12 at 11:05am

      But this could hit the xbox slim sales pretty badly. Halo was/is a big reason why people went after the xbox to begin with. This is the same reason 3, ODST, and Reach were all console only.

  8. Posted by killjoyhog on 05 March 12 at 10:30am

    The game looks awesome, the graphics are really good, im just hoping that the game has a stable frame rate. Now i just want the beta!!!!!!

  9. Posted by Physi on 05 March 12 at 11:43am

    is the master chiefs new armor mark 7(VII)?

    • Posted by Liam Roberts on 05 March 12 at 5:06pm

      I doubt it. It’s possible you might get it in the multiplayer considering you’re playing a spartan IV’s

      • Posted by Mugenite on 08 March 12 at 8:23pm

        One hint is with the armor the Spartan 4′s were using. Their armor and MC’s look pretty damn similar. I’m getting the feeling MC really did wake up some time before the legendary ending of Halo 3 and before Halo 4.

  10. Posted by Bleah on 05 March 12 at 11:54am

    Now lets just hope it’s not one of those games that look epic but is actually total shit.

  11. Posted by Golden Kantus on 05 March 12 at 11:57am

    Game looks great however there is two things that scare me 1 he looks like he was running does not mean armor abilities back because i don’t like that 2 he had magnum on his leg i don’t hate pistols but the one in reach was dumb everyone spawned with a sniper thats what i think anyway

  12. Posted by Xenprecs on 05 March 12 at 2:11pm

    I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDD Sorry for looking like a total fanboy but Halo and Kingdom Hearts are my two favorite game franchises ever. Game looks amazing, can’t wait, I want beta! :DDDDDD

  13. Posted by L.R. (Screamoluvr) on 05 March 12 at 2:46pm

    need new PAAANNNTTTSSSS

  14. Posted by Scooby on 05 March 12 at 5:52pm

    The only thing I disliked about this was sprint. Everything else looks amazing, the game looks beautiful and I can’t wait to no life this game when it comes out. Also I hope they bring the 1-50 true skill system back. High Hopes!

  15. Posted by KlassicChubZero on 05 March 12 at 6:21pm

    Orgasm. I’m glad to see halo 4 is in good hands.

  16. Posted by Steve on 05 March 12 at 6:28pm

    wow that looks sexy.

    one thing id love to see are space battles like in star wars battlefront2. that would be AMAZING

    • Posted by Magnumz144 on 05 March 12 at 10:23pm

      I totally agree

  17. Posted by Henry on 05 March 12 at 6:36pm

    I still can’t get the continuity issue with the new armor out of my head. How did he suddenly don this new armor while in a cryo-tube? It looks very little like the old armor so it has to be new. Not really that big an issue but it just bothers me.

    • Posted by Mugenite on 06 March 12 at 10:42pm

      He could have been awaken once before the events of Halo 4. This could have meant that Aliens or something tried boarding the ship or Cortana simply asked him to put on the armor she found on the ship. THEN, he went back to sleep. That’s my theory.

    • Posted by halofan117 on 07 March 12 at 5:20am

      master chiefs armor can upgrade itself usingnano technoligy while in cryo sleep

  18. Posted by romanguy on 05 March 12 at 7:24pm

    this looks great i am looking forward 2 dis but i don’t get how he changed his armor

  19. Posted by Wa4lordian on 05 March 12 at 7:34pm

    The armour looks great, however the helmet may raise a few concerns.
    It’s just not same!

    • Posted by Tommy on 06 March 12 at 9:24pm

      There was something I didn’t like about the helmet either. Not sure what it is though…

      • Posted by facepalmimad on 10 March 12 at 9:36am

        Multiplayer’s helmet or Master Chief’s? My main concern is the multiplayer helmet. The helmet barely seems as if it would actually pass as a used helmet, let alone the default. Past Halo default helmets had bigger visors that contained a big HUD and gave Halo players the classic ‘Halo’ look while maintaining its ‘warrior’ look. Sure I, along with many other gamers, don’t use the default helmet. Still, whenever the next game, Halo 2 or Halo: Reach came out, their helmets had a look that was purely ‘Halo’. I had no complaints. The multiplayer SPARTAN IV default, on the other hand, looks like a rather lazy design. I could make that helmet out of a cardboard box easily. Its box-ish shape, retro 80′s X-Men ‘Cyclops’ visors, and simple flat face-guard with a few holes poked into it seems like a design a 3rd-grader would create. And it’s highly unoriginal, unlike past Halo defaults.

  20. Posted by Lucas on 05 March 12 at 8:10pm

    his armor is change, so personally I hope they show or tell us how it changed instead of just throwing it on

    • Posted by Mugenite on 06 March 12 at 10:44pm

      Again, it’s likely he woke up before Halo 4 and encountered some scenario where he put it on, like an attack or Cortana asking him to. Alternatively, Cortana put it on him while he was n cryo using mechanical arms of the ship o_0.

  21. Posted by davi on 05 March 12 at 8:44pm

    the grafhics of halo 4 is better than uncharted 3

  22. Posted by Lawrence Sonntag on 05 March 12 at 10:37pm

    The comments on this story are awesome. Sometimes you guys are good for something :D

    • Posted by Mugenite on 05 March 12 at 11:41pm

      Wee getz cookaz naow? Plzzzzz….

  23. Posted by silent on 06 March 12 at 4:27am

    well i personally think there ruining the game its supposed to be bungie yes know everything that happened the new battle rifle looks like they imported the famas from call of duty and put a holographic site on it and the armor looks retarded dont add new things just continue the campaign and update the graphics allot no offence to all of you this is just an opinion the gme looks like shit

    • Posted by AwesomeDude on 06 March 12 at 8:02am

      Are you retarded, or something?

    • Posted by Ryan Forrester on 06 March 12 at 9:38pm

      I understand a bit were you are coming from, and I know it’s only an opinion, but don’t say it’s shit just from the first look. Yes, the battle rifel looks different, but that has no efect on how it works, don’t jump to conclutions. Next the armor looks good, but I agree to a point, the helmet is a little strange. I for one can’t wait for the game because I love the story, and can’t wait to see were it go’s. I’m also exited because 343 was born from the community and is still the closest I think i’ve seen a company to the populace ever. They know what we want, and I am willing to give them a chance and plan to get the game as soon as it comes out.

    • Posted by Mugenite on 06 March 12 at 10:46pm

      If this is your opinion of Halo 4, I’d hate to see your opinion of the CoD series…

  24. Posted by Rioux on 06 March 12 at 5:16am

    finally I can stop playing MW3 and start back to Halo Reach and practice!

  25. Posted by gin tonic on 06 March 12 at 8:23am

    aww crap. i really want to let go of halo, i really dont want to care it anymore, but this just looks too awesome.
    and @ silent, lol? dont you mean FAMAS from nexter industries?

  26. Posted by Matt Richards on 07 March 12 at 8:33am

    Im Srry poeple but there going overboard with this halo 4 stuff and i know this cause there using forza motorsports graphic for the warthog and other things.

    • Posted by Flag Captured on 09 March 12 at 3:32am

      Whaaaaatt? They imported the Halo 4 warthog into Forza 4 and what you said makes no sense at all. They’re going overboard because they’re using Forza’s graphics?

    • Posted by Mugenite on 09 March 12 at 9:31am

      U-r rite. Holo 4 is gong overbord with the graficks. i meen… i red teh or using grfx from hola Reetch and heavey raein and geers of war 3. im sure nut guna bye thice gaem…
