Halo 4 “Scanned” Trailer October 19, 2012

It looks like the new part of Forward Unto Dawn is not the only Halo 4 news today.  A new Halo 4 trailer has been released, and for the first time in a video medium we get a look at the Master Chief’s life and see just what made him the mechanized destruction machine he is today.  The trailer is produced by David Fincher (Fight Club) and it looks…just glorious!

If I may speculate a bit on the trailer here, I am curious if this scene (or a scene like it) is going to appear in the final version of Halo 4.  It looks like the Master Chief is being interrogated and tortured by the Prometheans.  The Covenant never bothered to do this sort of thing, which already shows a major difference between the two enemy races.

The Chief has never been tortured before.  If this scene is a part of a sequence in the game, it would be fascinating to see how it plays out.  Torture sequences have appeared in games in the past, I’m sure the most famous one was probably the one in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.  It will be interesting to see just what the Chief will do.

Halo 4 is coming November 6th, 2012.
