SPOILERS in article and links.
While checking out another vid on IGN, I saw the link for this.
Article by Ryan McCaffrey.
He lets you know that the franchise is in good hands. He feels very comfortable with what he saw and PLAYED. There is a terminal you can find at the beginning of the game that is a 20-30 second recap of Halo 3’s story. (A nice way to transition to Halo 4, whether or not you’ve played Halo 3.) From there a little later he ventures OUTSIDE of the Forward Unto Dawn, paying homage to Halo 2 in this respect.
There’s a lot more to read in the article so I won’t spoil it any further. Just click on the link at the top of the article and enjoy.
