343i going for that hardcore, hard-edged, super-real look bro.

Looks great, but are a lot of those still Halo 4 placeholders?

I'm not sure how to word this, but it seems like each sequential release of Halo get more and more over the top. Like, I really notice it in all the awards popping up on the HUD, Hollywoodish gun firing sounds (mostly the Battle Rifle. I like the SMG's sound) and the announcer's voice. Like when he yells "SLAYER!". Compare that to the way he says slayer in the original game. Just seems like a very fake and unnecessary level of enthusiasm.

I realize that's purely an aesthetic issue, but I just don't like it. Guess I'm just old school.

The VoG's level of enthusiasm is directly proportional to that of fanboy hype. The more fanboys bounce of the walls for new Halo crap, the more enthused he will sound.

Good news, everyone! H4's weapons will still despawn the second they leave your field of view!

Somehow that was a design decision and they felt it was important to leave in verbatim.

I don't know about you guys but that Sniper Rifle sounds terrifying.
