Halo 4 cover art released, new enemy types revealed
It is a good day for Halo 4 fans; check out the game’s cover art and marvel at some mysterious new enemies.
Microsoft released a set of 32 images which Halo Waypoint users pieced together into the image below; Microsoft has since confirmed that this is Halo 4′s cover art. Nice.
Meanwhile, AllGamesBeta posted a photo of the back of a box of halo action figures, showing two mysterious new enemy types – the Crawler and the Watcher.
343 Industries had hinted heavily that Halo 4 will see diversification of enemy types. The anticipated Xbox 360 exclusive drops during November.

Wow, finally a great Halo cover. After the atrocious box arts for Halo 3 and ODST (Don’t remember the Reach one), it’s nice to see a well made cover that actually shows something more than a random MC pose.
While it has MC pose, the thing in the sky looks rather cool.

#3 Odst had an excellent cover. The ruins of New Mombasa looked rather cool.

I disagree. I found both that and Halo 3′s covers to be mediocre at best. For such a epic series, it’s surprising that the games have so few suitable covers.
This one is probably the best I’ve seen if they don’t eff it up with useless logos and other random distractions.

I like it, i hope it will be the retail cover art indeed, well i didnt mind the previous cover arts that much, because i did picked the legendary edition which came only with the number and thats it, looking back in retrospect i think i didnt like any of the previous covers, thats including the halo combat evolved game(it was so-so).

I’m not even a big fan of Halo, but I think the cover is freakin’ EPIC!
Btw, any chance of 343 studios pushing back the release date?
2 legendary shooters coming out on the same month is pretty chaotic!

Another story is that this confirms that other Spartans will be in the game?

#9 How does this ‘thing in the sky’ in Master Chief’s background look any better than Rookie with ruins of New Mombasa behind on the cover of Odst? It’s just as cool, the colors were brilliant too.
H3′s cover was average though, I agree.

@2EX08 Really? If any one should move back their release date it should be Black Ops 2. 343 announced Halo 4′s release date before Treyarch released Black Ops 2′s release date. And plus Halo is superior in almost every way to Call of Duty.
