Return of the Forerunners video + new observations


Victory Element

Recommended Posts

i know that this video has been posted in another topic, but i am going to repost it below with a list of new observations. I am going to leave the times of specific clips below to check out some new things that i have found in the vid

 

 

 

-at 0:53, there is what appears to be a dead human figure. I dont know if this is a spartan IV because i'm not very familiar with the helmets yet, but if it is a marine, then i think it looks very cool

 

- at 0:58, we can see one of the blue prometheans attacking chief. It does not appear to be the same clip form the E3 campaign demo, because the environment in this clip is during the night time. It seems to be the same exact animation, but it is in a new setting and the promethean is blue, not orange. could these just be minor changes, or is there more meaning to it??

 

-at 3:18, there appears to be a variant of the promethean knight. It appears to have more armor than the standard knight that we have already seen. The limbs are physically connected, not hovering as we have seen in the knights already. I cannot make out if it has any weapons either

 

-starting at 4:10, they explain the background of the skull that the knights have been shown to reveal

 

-at 4:27, there is a good view of a new grunt variant and the fuel rod gun

 

-starting at 4:32, there is a clip of a knight assassinating an elite. this is a new animation that i have not seen yet, and the knight appears to have long, glowing blade hat it using for the stabbing animation

 

-there is a very fast senquence from 4:40- 4:41, that shows MC thrusting a large object into the abdomen of a knight. It is most likey an assassination move, but he appears to be using a firearm or some other object for the animation. To me, the object looks very simlar to blade that the knights have on their left arms, but i may be wrong

 

- 4:43 shows an assassination on a watcher

 

-4:47 shows an assassination on a crawler

 

- starting at 4:55, we new gameplay from a forerunner version of the SMG or assualt rifle. It is shown a lot more in later clips

 

-from 5:01- 5:06, there are shots of the different variants of knights

 

-at 5:27, there is another depiction of a dead human figure, it appears to be a marine

 

-5:55 starts another assassination move for the crawler

 

- 6:20 shows that watchers will have the ability to resurrect fallen knights

 

- at 6:39, a knight seems to "clothes line" an elite off of a ghost

 

- starting at 7:03, we see a prototype forerunner weapon. I am not sure if it will be in the final version of the game

 

-at 4:42, a designer explains how the forerunner weapons wil be dual purpose, and an example is shown of the bolt pistol's two uses

 

-at 10:14, you can see both a phantom and a pelican in the same clip. They are not engaged in any combat, so this may hint that the humans may have elite allies with them

 

- This is most likely the biggest find in this video, at 10:18. You can see a phantom approaching an enourmous foerunner sturcture. It is too large to be the Didact's cryptum that we have already seen. It could possibly be a combat vessel used by the prometheans, but my theory is different. I have a strong feeling that this is the ancient foerunner weapon that the storm had been searching for on requiem.

 

-at 4:31, there is a clip showing MC approaching the Didact's cryptum

 

-my final observation. Throughout the enitrety of this video, MC is seen fighting both blue and orange prometheans. But the covenant is only seen fighting against the blue prometheans, never against the orange.......what deos this mean??

 

thanks a lot if you read throught all of these. I hope they were interesting to you
