Popular Post Donut Posted January 15, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 343i: "Over the holidays, the people that call 343 Industries home were told to take some time off, the specific length of which was up to each individual and their current workload. Some managed to sneak away a handful of days. Others were able to take a more substantial vacation. Now, though, as we find ourselves almost two weeks into the new year, the team in its entirety is back, well-rested and ready. Ready for what, you ask? Ready to start a new milestone. Ready to complete another deliverable. And ready to tell the next chapter of the Master Chief’s tale. I guess you could say Halo 4 is our fight to the finish. And we’re ready to do just that. Since everybody’s return, I’ve noticed a few subtle changes around the studio. Meandering down one particularly softly lit aisle shows monitor after monitor of no-longer-just-concept art and animations. Walking by the audio booth broadcasts sounds that are unknown at first listen, yet at the same time eerily familiar. And in an area that was previously completely unadorned, there’s now a brand new “Campaign Wall” that features information about every level along with its current quality rating. The neat thing about the Campaign Wall is that as the levels improve, the sheets are updated, providing the entire studio with a real-time look at our progress toward the amazing-quality campaign we will ship with Halo 4. I can’t share a picture of that wall just yet, because you would probably find the one pixel I forgot to blur, and it would undoubtedly reveal every single secret of the entire Reclaimer Trilogy. So I’m going to play it safe instead of sorry, and swap that picture with images taken at a recent event. Oh yes, it’s segue time. And abrupt and awkward segue time, at that." They also say that they're starting a new feature called "Office of Halo Intelligence" . It is a semi-regular-diary-type entry brought to you by various members of Halo 4 development team. 343i: "Now were entering the crucial final stretch in which we will ready our baby (Halo 4) for release into the wild. The good news is that the game is already looking great and fun to play. So as we ready ourselves to give you your first REAL look at Halo 4 in the months ahead, we can only hope that you, too, will like what you see." 343 has a Campaign Wall Vital to the Forerunner Trilogy Halo 4 is looking great & fun to play We'll get our first REAL look on Halo 4 within the months ahead 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 The Reclaimer Trilogy... Well that verifies that forerunners or their technology will be involved. I can't wait to get a look at the gameplay, and it sounds like they are getting close to giving us a preview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperIntendant Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Nice post Donut. What interests me in this are the lines: there’s now a brand new “Campaign Wall” that features information about every level along with its current quality rating. The neat thing about the Campaign Wall is that as the levels improve, the sheets are updated, providing the entire studio with a real-time look at our progress toward the amazing-quality campaign we will ship with Halo 4. And a line not in your quote As we know many of you are anxiously awaiting any and all Halo 4-related pieces of information, we decided to start a new recurring feature called Office of Halo Intelligence, or OHI for short. It will be a semi-regular diary-type entry brought to you by various members of the Halo 4 development team, and it will provide insight into the making of our next title. What these two quotes tell me is that Campaign is going to be the main focus of this game and that we will be getting some more Halo 4 info very soon, although nothing major unfortunately. Oh and here's the article if you want to read it: http://halo.xbox.com...etin-11112.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANMAN10 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I think since they've had ALL this time, they have been able to work on everything to their fullest ability. Everything will probably spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZB-85 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 This was a very informative paper on the production of Halo 4 and its management. Thank you for sharing it with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadly Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Does any one else think that the beta might be out in May, just like Reach? Or will there be an open beta at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Does any one else think that the beta might be out in May, just like Reach? Or will there be an open beta at all? I think there might be a beta AFTER E3, because at E3 they show Gameplay and details, so I don't think a Beta would be before that.

SixWaysToSunday Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 If you're talking about Halo CE-ODST... thats crazy to call them crap. No man, Im talking about the interviews and information Bungie employees gave out before reach >.> They said Reach was going to be their best game yet, that they were working long hours to make the game amazing, and the campaign was a fullblown war. Obviously none of those things were true and Reach kinda sucks. I love the other halos, I was never attacking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
