Here's a 39 minute video of Gamecheat messing around with the Pre-Release version of Halo 4. You'll see some things new, and some that aren't even in yet. I found this interesting because of the Spartan pose, music, and bleeps and bloops you'll hear in the background on the menu. Those of which I actually prefer more than what we have now.

Halo 4 was an interesting breed. After the failure of Reach they decided to continue down the path of dudebro shooters and keeping loadouts. Adding perks and random drops. Putting in real gun noises to attract muricans but it sounds terrible in game. Try to attract the cod audience and casuals who jump game to game. Made the br useless, ordinances random and not set weapon spawns which thus stopped map movement. Then when casuals jumped ship halo players competetive and non who wanted a 1-50 or balanced halo game arena style left. And populations dipped to 15,000 on at one time. Being the first halo game struggling to stay in top 5. It saddens me, because they said trust us, then decided to tell us they hired people whodisliked the series. Its one facepalm after another with these guys. Get new PR build on h3s system with h2 hitscan stop with the gimmicks no one cares and make money.

Edited by tuckers baby: 4/14/2014 9:52:17 PMDat menu & music... Dat Banshee... Dat Machine gun turret & AR And most of all... DAT SPECTRE!
-
I think the menu UI and the armor looks better in the pre build to be honest.
-
Why the [b]f[/b]uck did they change the menu music
-
Didn't even notice the Wraith until he got in it

[i]"Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, "It might have been."[/i] ― Kurt Vonnegut Bioshock Infinite's gameplay looked awesome! But it ended up being generic and boring. Thankfully Burial at Sea part 2 was amazing!
-
The only thing in that video that didn't suck was the "spectre".
-
Those sounds though. Jeff actually sounded okay, the weapons didn't sound like electronic peashooters. *cries internally*
-
I hope you guys understand that this clearly wasn't a refined product. They just got the things in and didn't tweak them yet. So i don't understand a lot of the commentary here.
-
That's like nothing compared to what happened with Reach before release. Reach actually could have been good you know.
-
Eh. It's Halo 4 but even worse. I'm not seeing anything that's better than the final game other than the armor textures and the Repeater. It was nice seeing the Spectre again though.
-
I love how the shotgun actually looks like the Halo shotgun in this, even though it's from Halo reach. Still didn't care for the shotgun design in Halo 4.
-
The only thing that really makes this more nostalgic than the actual game is how the music has such an emotional weight to it where as the final version sounded like one of those shoddy multiplayer pump up tracks.
-
Mostly everything looks shittier; you guys are crazy.
-
That track sounded so good and like actual Halo.
-
So it looked, sounded and felt like an honest to god Halo game at some point. Damn. Just damn.
-
Gameplay still looks like shit just like the final version of Halo 4.
-
The beta had numbers as emblem foregrounds. I could have had an 8. -blam!- everything.
-
That menu track doe.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when a company is unfinished and given little dev time. Stuff gets cut. For a good reason too. Problems with gameplay: -No deploy time on Autosentry -Shotgun as starting weapon -Pulse Grenade has too big of a blast radius -Gauss hog OP -Mantis [i]severely[/i] OP -Scattershot OP -Incineration canon OP (Two shots per charge, really?) -Boltshot is even worse (Secondary fire mode doesn't kill anyone, it slows down gameplay and makes it easier to die -can turn on a dime while sprinting -Suppressor at disadvantage with spinning up time -Sticky Det belies its purpose People want what they can't have

I wish that track was on the OST. :(
-
I liked the menu music and and background way more than the one in its current state.
-
I wish I had that much space on my xbox.
-
Wow. It's surprising I like a lot of the stuff there more than its current state.
-
Also the auto turrets for Dominion look so much cooler.
-
Better looking armor, music, and menu background. Dammit.
