Halo 4 has been a known quantity for some time now. The burning question now has more to do with the developer than the game. Can Microsoft-owned 343 Industries match or exceed Bungie, the creators of the Halo series? At this year's E3, Microsoft drew back the curtain on the multiplayer modes in Halo 4, and we were there to check it out.

Microsoft kicked off this year's E3 festivities with a whole host of game trailers, including one we've all been waiting for: a long look at the actual gameplay for Halo 4. There's a lot familiar about the look and feel of the game, but quite a bit that's different, too.

Announcing Halo 4's existence at E3 was a bold move by Microsoft. On the one hand, more Halo! On the other, what system would the next game and trilogy be for? Neither Microsoft or Halo 4's new developers 343 Industries made any confirmations. It's now out in the open — Halo 4 is an Xbox 360 game.
