Latest Halo 4 Screenshots Show Executions on Exile

Richard Walker

A handful of multiplayer Capture the Flag screenshots have popped up showing off some of the execution moves you'll be able to pull off with the flag pole itself during the team-based red vs. blue action in Halo 4. It seems that you'll be able to stow your assault rifle and beat your opponent down with the flag. Nice.

Showcasing the Exile map, the screens also demonstrate just how lush Halo 4 is looking, with its lush greenery and glorious blue skies on show. There's a few Warthogs up in there too. Woo.

Check out all seven screens in the gallery, or look at some of the flag-spanking action in a few select shots below. There's also some b-roll footage to watch. Flags: not just for waving and capturing. You can beat the crap out of your rivals with them too. Halo 4 is out on November 6th.

  • Looks awesome but the Sniper Rifle looks plastic. Details.
  • Pole Dancing Anybody?
  • Looking guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud!! And I got my limited edition pre-ordered :D
  • Scenery just looks beautiful. I already know I will be a victim to many of those assassinations as I just look at the maps in awe!
  • 343 seems to be doing an awesome job with Halo 4. Can't wait to get my hands on it
  • Holy Bloom...
  • Said it many, many times but can't wait for the game of the year. Halo 4 FTW!
  • #1, not even the UNSC are safe from cut backs. carry flag and hold pistol, intresting.

  • I'm as excited by this game as anyone, but I do think the armours look childish and plastic from what I've seen so far. Does anyone agree?
  • In the 2nd screenshot, the red guy looks awfully similiar to a clonetrooper from Star Wars. Doesn't bother me, they just have to be careful with that. Anyways, since it isa new developer and NOT bungie I am looking forwrd to this. Hae this (the LE) and the console preordered. Anyone want a cheap copy of the game since I'd have 2???
  • @11 no, I don't think he does. Aside from the fact that they're both armored, sci-fi soldiers I don't think there will be any mix-ups. And it's good to see my EVA helmet is back in action. At least I can depend on that, what with the new armor looking terrible. I'm still skeptical about this game but I'm willing to love it. And I don't see anything spectacular about the graphics, looks like a slightly-shinier version of Reach. Of course, graphics don't matter. Just making an observation.
  • To me the graphics look much more clear and crisp than reach, in that they seemed to use a lot of blurring effects to give the illusion of quality. I'm not liking how bodies fizzle and disappear, i like to see a battlefield full of bodies and wreckage after an epic battle.
  • @12 I think 343 are just keen on showing all the new helmets first. I would imagine all the classics are still in Halo 4. I've already seen ODST, Mark 6, recon and EVA so there are bound to be more normal helmets.
  • We can throw the oddball now woohoo! Can't wait for football custom games with oddball :) OT: These screen shots are nice and it will be nice to shoot the pistol while carrying the flag.
  • @13 They only disappear if you kill them with the flag or with promethean weapons.
  • Maybe this is old info, but I noticed in the second picture that he is holding the flag and a pistol at the same time.
  • This map reminds me of a map called "Infinity" from Combat Evolved PC. I heard Certain Affinity is working on these maps. Is that true? Because we're all in for one hell of a good time playing Halo 4, probably even when the next-gen Xbox is out.
  • Just beat Reach legendary finally , ready for more! Hope it's not too much harder seeing as i must do it solo again.
  • Hopefully hyabusa will be back cause that was my fave
  • @20 I'm sure 343 has some reward up their sleeve. Pistol and flag? huh?!
  • @17 Yeah it's been confirmed for awhile now but it's one of those low key things that usually gets passed over. In Halo 4 when you're holding the flag by default you have a Magnum equiped even if you don't have one in your weapon slots. So flag carriers can now defend themselves somewhat at range. @11 Haha I'd take it.
  • I love the fact that its like a giant oval, similar to rat race in Halo 3. This game is going to be AWESOME!
  • I am so confused. Where is Church? I need Church to tell me what to think...wait, what....Church is getting his head caved in by a Red? Oh that's it, this means war Reds! No one kills my best friend but me! KILL THE REDS KILL THE REDS KILL THE REDS KILL THE REDS! OT- the new armor does look kinda toyish, for lack of a better term, but letMs not forget that the game itself is still over 2 months away from release and these pics are more than likely from an earlier build. But regardless of when these shots were made, executions with the flag is gonna be fun
  • environment looks sweet, armor looks sweet, assassinations looks sweet, pistol/flag wielding looks sweet. game of the year? I think so.
  • I CAME!
  • @26 there are clinics that can cure that problem. OT: Sort of glad 343 aren't skewing too far form the classic halo style maps.
  • These map looks cool! I can't wait to try it! 7.7
