Over the weekend 343 Industries published the first video documentary of Halo 4, the first title in the series to be developed by the newly created studio. The video shows off the first in-game footage of the new title, including the redesigned battle rifle (again!) and more detailed Master Chief.

In addition to the added graphical prowess of the title, 343 Industries is also taking a new look at the multiplayer maps. No longer will we be able to recognize maps from the campaign as Halo 4′s maps are designed specifically for multiplayer  and will not make cameos in the campaign.

Will 343 Industries be able to continue the massive success and acclaim of the Halo series? We’ll have to wait until the 2012 holiday season to find out.
