343 Industries and Microsoft Studios’ upcoming first-person shooter title “Halo 4” has received a brand new trailer. The new video is called “Forward Unto Dawn” and is Machinima exclusive.
“Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn” is a live-action digital series that will take the fans back to the terrifying beginning of the Human/Covenant war, when the Master Chief inspired a young cadet who would ultimately become a leader aboard the UNSC’s greatest vessel: the UNSC Infinity.
“Halo 4” begins four years after the ending of “Halo 3,” and marks the return of the Master Chief as the main protagonist, and AI Cortana.
According to the game’s official page, “After thirty years of war with the Covenant, humanity finally found victory. The Master Chief, a Spartan super-soldier, and Cortana, an AI construct of unmatched technical sophistication, put an end to the Covenant, the Flood, and the threat of the Halo Array on a remote installation known as the Ark. Now, in the wake of the conflict, the Chief and Cortana drift through space aboard the remains of Forward Unto Dawn, slowly approaching a mysterious artificial world they will soon come to call Requiem.”
“Halo 4” is also set to provide something called the ‘War Games.’ This unmatched, revolutionary battle simulation system is where Spartans go to polish their skills in competitive combat. Through the dual purposing of holographic technology and vast pneumatic riser fields, the ‘War Games’ facility is transformed into a hyper-realistic battlefield, simulating both real and imaginary combat arenas. Moderated by the War Games AI, Spartans engage in a variety of classic and new gametypes.
Another designation, “Spartan Ops,” has been given to any and all on-record missions conducted by Spartans of the UNSC Infinity. For longtime Halo fans, however, “Spartan Ops” will represent a watershed moment of immersive, story-driven cooperative gameplay delivered in addictive, bite-sized episodic pieces.
“Spartan Ops” episodes run the course of a season, providing epic gameplay experiences driven by the powerful stories of the Spartans aboard Infinity, as they encounter the hostile alien world of Requiem.
“Halo 4” is set for a November 6 release on Xbox 360.
