Holy Lord... FORWARD UNTO DAWN

With Halo 4 days in reach, being the largest Halo Fan on the face of this galaxy, I had to view the Live-Action mini series. Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Part 5 will be released tomorrow and I am ecstatic and filled with energy. When Chief showed his appearance in the fourth episode, I had to hold in my girlish squeals as I cringed to my pant leg in excitement. The way they presented him with assassinating the Elite was beyond words in my opinion. Not one scene involving him was campy in any way and I am proud to be the Halo fan I am. Master Chief is God and that is all there is to say. 

New Halo 4 Live Action Trailer W/ Gameplay Released at E3!

Yesterday, at the 2012 E3 conference, Microsoft released an all new Halo 4 live action trailer with about five minutes of game play footage and after viewing it, oh mi god am I excited. There are two videos. One that is shorter and does not have as much campaign footage and does not show the live action trailer but does have multi-player footage and one video that is seven minutes with the live action and only campaign footage The trailer shows UNSC marines lined up listening to a speech while the video flashes forward to their ship being infected by an unknown virus that takes over. It finally then jumps to Master Chief. The man of the hour and as he watches the UNSC ship (That resembles the Pillar of Autumn) seem to come through a portal of some sort (Possible a time portal) and fly over him with obvious complications. Chief watches it fly off in the distance as he's surrounded by nature. Obviously, he has progressed and landed on this turf since we last saw him in the Halo 4 teaser that was released last year. Will the game reveal what happened between that time gap? I hope to god they do.

If you read my earlier post about Halo 4, then I must make a correction. I was under the influence that the Covenant were gone but after watching the footage, there is a scene with two grunts, an elite and a jackal. So yes. The humans most hated enemy is back. As the elite charges you, it seems to be shot with an orange ray that disintegrates it in it's own footsteps. That is where the new alien species is introduced. They look to have a mix of organic and technology base to them and as Chief shoots some, they self destruct where others have the ability to teleport. He even does hand to hand combat at one point which is extremely bad-ass and when picking up one of the foreign guns, it seems to recreate and modify itself at the sense of his touch.
At the end of the video, a strange red symbol appears with the words "An Ancient Evil Awakens". My assumption? Forerunners. Cortana even mentions them at one point when discussing the aliens. So yes, mysteries of the Halo universe will be revealed in this new trilogy.

Halo 4??? About time

It was sometime last year when Halo 4 was announced with an eyegasmic teaser video of the Chief waking from his long nap in frozen sleep and seeing his ship float towards a mysterious glowing sphere which I believe is a planet made of all machine and futuristic technology (yes I studied the images), but when i checked my mail a few days ago and saw Master Chief's mugshot on my newest issue of Game Informer, I flipped. I knew this announcement wasn't B.S. and this was the real deal. Chief was back. After flipping through the inside article, it appears as though Bungie unfortunately will not be apart of this new trilogy but instead 343 Industries... weary? You bet... But I'm willing to give it a chance as I do with all Halo games. I've been playing since the first and I've been a hardcore fan ever since (Besides the disappointment known as Halo Wars, but let's not bring that up). The article also said that the game would be focusing more on Cortana and Chief's relationship and that since the covenant and human war ended in Halo 3 (along with the flood (THANK GOD)), it will focus more on the mysterious Forerunners including a new alien species... so yeah. This is most definitely gonna be good. But one thing I'm confused about and will always be confused about. How the hell can you have a relationship with an artificial intelligence? Now yes, I understand that it may be lonely out in the middle of the universe with no other human contact, but hey! That's what your hand is for! Is it not?? C'mon Chief, don't lower your dignity by resulting to a blue hologram that basically lives in your head and feeds you thoughts. She's like all the worst aspects of a wife. She complains and whines and what do you get out of it? Nothing. No sex. No food. No massages after a hard day at saving the day. Nothing. Just a whiny blue chick who has numbers always running up and down her body (women, I only joke). Regardless of the minor relationship fault with Chief, he will always be on the top 10 most badass video game characters ever. There's no denying that. And for all you halo haters out there, go play your Call of Duty with your boring ol' pistols. Me? I've got my plasma rifle and covenant sword so up yours.
