Halo 4 & Halo Remastered

Yeah, Traviss and Halo go together pretty well, as long as she can keep her personal tendencies out of it.
 
A bunch of new screenshots have been posted online. http://ncloud.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/halo-4-20-beautiful-new-screenshots.html

It looks to me like that's supposed to the cryo chamber the chief climbed into at the end of 3, except it looks nothing like the cryo chamber at the end of 3, and judging from those screen shots I assume he just wakes up in the new armor.

Grrr. That does not make me happy. Yes, I'm real pedantic about this issue, but I just hate it when people change stuff purely for the sake of changing it with no rhyme or reason. If it's "Oh, Cortana changed his armor while he was sleeping" thats equally stupid, because it was a destroyed ship, how on Earth (or deep space) would even a fully functional frigate have the resources to design and fabricate new super armor?

Even more importantly (to me): if Cortana's awake and designing and building armor, why the hell hasn't she gone fully rampant yet? Wouldn't that put her over the seven years (2549 activation, 2557 is when Halo 4 starts)?

343 want to make there mark because lets face it, Halo 4 is part sequel part retooling. I don't see an issue because it still looks similar and not like its bright pink :p.

The only question is will it make it's Q4 release date or will it slip to Q1 or Q2 2013?

I'd be very surprised if Halo 4 is not released this November but at the same time its needs to be very very good since its the first post Bungie sequel so more work is better than a bad release.

Cortana's rampancy is part of the plot.

A web series entitled Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn will be airing on Machinima and Halo Waypoint "in the weeks leading up to" the game's release.
"Forward Unto Dawn" will play out over five weekly installments, around 15 minutes each, telling an original story about the game's Master Chief and how he inspired a young UNSC cadet who will eventually become a leader aboard the UNSC Infinity spacecraft. Introduction of the new character will tie in with the plot of "Halo 4," while providing a flashback to the beginning of the "Halo" franchise's war between the humans and the evil Covenant.

Microsoft considers the Web series "the next step" for the franchise as an entertainment property that could eventually lead to a theatrical feature -- after the plug on one was pulled by Universal and Fox that Blomkamp was to direct and Peter Jackson to produce in 2005.

Once the Web series ends its run, Microsoft plans to package the entire production in some form to "live on" on other platforms, [343 Industries Director of Franchise Business Management Matt] McCloskey said.

The $100 Limited Edition was revealed today.
[...] fancy box, a "UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet" [...]

The LE includes the "War Games Map Pack," a voucher for "three future competitive multiplayer map packs, each including three locations, available for download post-launch on Xbox Live." It also includes early access to six multiplayer Specializations, which will only be released at launch in this package; they'll be "released over time" to the general audience.

Other digital bonuses include an exclusive armor and weapon skin, an in-game emblem, and an Avatar prop. The LE also includes an "extended 90-minute version" of the Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn video series, extra featurettes, and making-of videos.

I tend not to care much about special editions of games, but this one is a bit tempting. Considering I'd probably get the map packs anyway ($30 right there), in the end it would only cost me $10 extra to get the Limited Edition.
 
Halo Waypoint has a set of in-game model renders available for viewing, and with those come the names for two of the enemies in the trailer - the Promethean Crawler and the Promethean Watcher.
