Forward Unto Dawn Scene?

if you watch the halo 4 vidoc and skip to 1:42 you will see a screen on the top right corner that appears to be bit of footage from the campaign but still seems to be in working progress, when you look at it you see MC falling, grabbing hold of a pipe or something and then looks behind him, i think thats a mission or a cutscene where he is trying to escape the forward unto dawn ship, when you do see him look behind him it appears what ever he is on is in an upward or downward direction, again me guessing its forward unto dawn.

 

heres the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qAbwN9dch4&feature=g-all&context=G2e0a6c8FAAAAAAAAAAA

Btw, a little off topic. If you pause the ViDoc at 3:15 as the red spartan gets killed with a headshot, you can see a couple of the medals in the game. one looks like the old assist medals and the other looks like it might be headshots meadal?

yeah i seen that i wonder what new medals they will introduce if they do

Just keep in mind that the demo from E3 2004 had sequences that looked liked campaign and cinematics, of which multiple and major portions were cut (remember that single-shot rifle everyone now loves to hate so much?). Considering the shot wasn't completely rendered this could go either way, maybe they're showing off their motion capture, and maybe it's part of the game.

 

Off topic, what I don't really like however is that 343 is carrying over the first person style from Reach. To me this was acceptable in Reach; Spartan III's didn't undergo the Spartan II training regiment, they are weaker, and are about as big as a regular human. Also the game is fully customizable in determining who Noble 6 is to the player. We already know who the Chief is and if you've read the books they go to great lengths to convey how sensitive not only the Mjolnir is to fine movements but also how efficient the S-II's are in utilizing this to remain virtually soundless through any movement.

Using motion capture-- so far-- does nothing to convey this stealthiness to me, they should really think about tweaking it, and the possibility of first person cutscenes in Halo 4 makes me wonder about the direction 343 is trying to head in.

I for one would not want to see this type of interactivity unless: there are no enemies nearby or I can shoot at the same time, I can look/move around, and it is not motion capture. I don't want to be stuck to the spot every time I interface with an ancient alien control panel, I want to jump and dance through the architecturally spectacular and bizarre ancient alien landscape. I'd much rather 343 work on perfecting the articulation of the Spartans through natural movements than adding these interactive cutscenes. I don't need to know who Master Chief is and making me interact with the environment won't allow me to understand him any better, I've been reading about him or in his skin killing aliens since I was 10.
