Halo 4

Halo 4 Cover Art Revealed, Is Brilliant
Written Tuesday, May 15, 2012 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

The cover artwork for Halo 4 has been revealed and it's pretty damn awesome.

Emailed in little chunks to Halo Waypoint fans, when contructed the image shows the Chief in a three-point landing pose looking totally badass. Perhaps even more interesting, however, is the background, showing the UNSC vessel Forward Unto Dawn and a Covenant ship being sucked into a giant... thing.

The “thing” actually looks rather like the Requiem facility shown in the debut trailer, and points to the identity of Halo 4's new race of enemies. We already know about Crawlers and Watchers, but just what is that thing? 

We haven't got long to wait to find out. Expect more from E3 next month.

Nice.

But what has been/is Bungie's, 343i and M$'s obsession with the pea shooter-I mean assault rifle? That piece of sh** wont get you through a halo game on normal difficulty.

Great, detailed box art. Amazing what box arts looks like today, compared to the PS2-era... N64... etc.

Hey tits what am I?

"Duuurrr! No, they shouldn't make Halo 4! 343 is gonna ruin the franchise. It should have ended with Reach so we could play that game for the next 20 years instead of getting fresh Halo content every now and then! Duuurrr..."

Yep you guessed it, a Halo fan on his period.

I was going to say it's been a while since I've seen such high quality cover art, but remembered that Assassin's Creed III's cover is pretty awesome too. But still, nice to see an influx of quality covers.

#7 is obviously pointing that shit in the sky when the flood are running to his feet. As for #12, I can't imagine that fits on your desktop very well haha, I've got one of the earlier multiplayer screenshots in HD and it looks sweet. This bad boy is going as my phone background!

I never really was into Halo that much, maybe because I didn't play it from the start of the trilogy. However, after playing through Halo CE and Halo 3, I'll be sure to reserve this as soon as I beat Halo 2 on PC.

Yeah! Hell yeah! I want that image as a poster, in my Legendary Edition! Is mandatory!. Also, I want a controller...
I was a little "bahhh" about the previous, working cover, but this one just kick-ass! it rules! Behold and marvel mother****rs!

Don't remember if it was here or @Waypoint that I said Microsoft has a very high standard for Halo-related stuff, and they didn't let me down.

Way to go!

What I meant was MC is always seen with the AR in practically every cutscene and it appears on the cover of every halo game that has the AR in that game (not sure about reach).
Yes it's decent against the flood but not nearly as good as the scoped pistol, dual wielded SMG's, shotguns, energy swords, gravity hammers etc and vs the covenant it's the worst UNSC weapon bar the halo 2 pistol and not much better than the worst covenant weapons.

SO why is it like the iconic halo weapon?

I lost touch and got burned out on Halo.
However, this artwork just reignited that spark in me and from everything thing I've seen for Halo 4 looks like 343 will do Bungie's baby proud and get Chief back on top of the FPS mountain.

@50 totally agree. The cover looks cool and all, but that doesn't really change if the game is good or bad. I have played all the halos (except wars) and I hope this game delivers, but I am worried it will be an epic fail. We'll see though, Halo 1 and 2 were amazing to me, lets hope with a reboot the series will go back to those ones.

At first I thought the two objects to the left and right were building. But if you look closer, you can see that the right object is a covenant ship and the left object is a human ship named "Further Onto Dawn". You can see the title of it on the bottom part where it is cut off.

Would be cool to have a poster like this one in garage=D Maybe I will find it somewhere, but I still won't let hype win me over lieke last time. I was disappointed three times already (probably my fault, because I was expecting better game then Halo 1 & 2), so I will wait to see just how exactly this one turns out.

@52 I agree. People feel a need to inject negativity prematurely, never understood why...

The piece in its own right looks fantastic and I'm feeling optimistic that 343 can deliver something worthy of the Halo name. Why people are so quick to explicitly write things off is astounding, sometimes it seems they want things to fail.

How can they not include a legendary edition? But as long as the game is good I won't care.
