Also the book is the second one in a trilogy that pick up after the fall of onyx or whatever it was called.

There's Ghosts of Onyx and Fall of Reach.
I'm assuming you meant the former, since the sequel to the latter is Halo CE.

The first one. I'm at work so I try to not be on my phone more than I already am so I didn't look it up.

I mus say, I'm not a Halo fan, but the gfx really look good compared to previous efforts.

Reverant · 10-26-2012, 02:09 PM

Do we know how long the main campaign is? The internet says "8 missions," but that helps not in the least bit.

No one seems to know really. Until we get the game in our hands, we honestly have no idea.

On a side note; has anyone been watching the Forward Unto Dawn web series? I must say its some outstanding work that screams for it to be made on the big screen. Master Chief's entrance alone was epic and his voice is just wow.

Zecon · 10-26-2012, 08:09 PM

Yeah, I've been watching it.
It's really well done and I'm really looking forward to seeing them on fridays.

Reverant · 10-26-2012, 08:35 PM

I couldn't get through the first episode and pretty much washed my hands of the series. I did skip through parts of the one that just came out with Master Chief, though. He was interesting enough.

The Breakfast Club in space thing didn't appeal to me.

MalReynolds · 10-26-2012, 09:42 PM

the last 2 episodes were AMAZING and kinda hope that HBO would pick it up for a series

Starting with a Master Chief origin

That would be a great series for HBO. Have them make it like 1 hour episodes. They could easily cover so much backstory like this web series is doing.

I didn't think it was that bad. The kid with his brother angle was interesting.

Shadowstorm · 10-28-2012, 08:22 AM

Episode 3 is probably the highlight of the series for me. They really did a great job on that one. Can't wait til episode 5!

Darkmatter · 10-28-2012, 10:06 AM

Wow. H4 comes out in a little over a week!? Had no idea.

Indeed, so far I have been able to keep myself away from spoilers.
Just a little longer!

Karak · 10-28-2012, 10:13 PM

Episode 4 really was some serious tension at points. Never thought I would be interested in a Halo style movie but man that had some great parts.

Zecon · 10-31-2012, 12:19 PM

343industries are doing a live feed of Halo 4 starting at 2:30 EST today (about 10 min from now). You can catch it here.

Orca · 10-31-2012, 08:08 PM

Review embargo is up at 3 a.m. EST.

Karak · 11-01-2012, 01:10 AM

Halo 4 reviews are exploding and even the hard hitting sites are freaking about it...sigh. Thank god. Good news. Was not expecting to hear the love from Giant Bomb...just because.

Also 3 reviews indicate an enigma has been solved. An escort mission that not only sucks, but may be one of the best missions in a game period.
Want to see that and its pretty impressive a good number of people are picking that mission to prove their point.

Zecon · 11-01-2012, 01:27 AM

Yeah, I was looking more forward to Polygon's review.
But wow, amazing scores all around.
If there was one score I would had been leery of, it would have been Destructoid.
Ugh.
Want. Now.
