Another Halo 4 trailer for you this morning. Microsoft and 343 have certainly been spoiling us over the last few days.
Wargames
Wargames gives us a look at competitive multiplayer. 343 will be desperately trying to get this one right, because without Halo's vibrant and dedicated online community onboard, the franchise isn't going anywhere in a hurry.
It looks like the tradition of revisiting and re-imaging classic maps remains intact. We saw maps entirely reminiscent of Narrows and Avalanche in the trailer, there are undoubtedly more.
There are brutal new takedown animations, including one back breaking assassination. Other than that, lots of grenades, several new Forerunner weapons to play with, and a whole load of Warthogs. Looks like business as usual.
Spartan Ops
This video gives us some insight into the content drops that 343 will be regularly making for Halo 4. For those not in the know, Spartan Ops will see a weekly downloadable co-op mission made available. Each will come complete with a backstory and animations, as 343 seeks to maintain longevity and appeal in the title.
The trailer shows combat with Elites and Forerunners, and we're shown some more of Halo 4's new tricks. Spartans holding portable energy shields and new takedown animations against Forerunners, are just two of the things you can see in the trailer.
