Halo 4 Crawler Update. Details Revealed on Promethean Dogs.

Lemme guess, shoot it in the glowing part? 343 Industries released info on a Halo 4 baddie, Promethean Crawler AKA Dog. Here's my take on this new info, along with pictures & a video. I also discuss MLG and the Holodeck being the only selling point so far.

Okay so we're going with Prometheans as the main bad guys in Halo 4. I didn't know there was this whole Mass Effect crossover thing going on. That's pretty cool. So let's talk about these "Promethean" dogs. These dogs travel in packs and can skitter up walls, trees and other terrain. 343 used the word skitter, not me. Somebody been watching too much Falling Skies. Here's a video of the dog moving around.

Yeah, whoopty do I guess. It looks good. These Jimmys have been making -well most of them- one of the top franchises in the history of video games. They better be able to program a dog.

I think there is something in the way they sensationalize this information, so we think that this is something important.

The length and the width of the dog will probably never come up in any sort of discussion about Halo 4 for the rest of my days. Well maybe now, because I'm making this reference. What I'm trying to say is, I see stuff like this and I'm not impressed. Microsoft's Press Conference impressed me when I saw the Halo 4 demo. Then just last week I saw the same demo on Jimmy Fallon. They let Jimmy play and ... it was God mode. Crawlers were blowing up a mile away, how's that damage output with that assault rifle? Needless to say, that "campaign clip" shown at E3 and on Jimmy Fallon was mostly canned.

The big question for me here is still whether or not this game will regain it's competitive aspect and appear again on MLG. Instead I keep hearing how 343 thinks they've done something amazing with the multiplayer. Why?! Because it's on a Holodeck? I've seen that before. You have got to show me some serious gameplay. 343 should give it out to some MLG pros for a week and then release a video of all the highlights. Then we'd know the truth I'm sure, one way or the other.

That's enough for right now. Fuck me, back to 50/50 on the Halo 4. Shooters are in so much trouble this year with me. Borderlands 2, the only game with a pass right now. What are you thoughts on this industry stuff? Halo 4? Dogs, oh btw they are called Crawlers. Promethean Dogs sounds way better. Vote, Comment and Share. Don't be a Jimmy!

Weren't they Protheans in ME? Anyway, yes canned demo, still better than CG nonsense from some of these other games. I'm worried that some of these set pieces they've shown will end up being QTE... like when the Chief goes down with the Promethian guard on his chest, I was waiting for a flashing X button to pop up... Hopefully they never do that.

If they put QTE in Halo the series is over. Halo will sell just for the title, but when did that become the standard? I'm going to have an old man rant about how we used to get games because they were fun to play, even when you were playing as what looked like Lego characters for everything. Now it's all about shiny graphics and movies you interact with. Oh and let's not forget that it is against gaming law to make something that isn't 90% focused on multiplayer. Honestly how many games have you bought in the last 10 years that were worth playing more than once?

I'm curious about the game and I need something to keep my 360 from collecting dust, but if you want to impress me don't measure a digital dog, show me some jimmy getting swarmed by them.

all I'm going to say is that I'm all hyped up for halo 4 already, and at least it's good to see some new enemy types every once in a while.
