Halo 4 at E3 2012
In 2012, 343 was poised to release their latest and most ambitious project yet, Halo 4. Drumming up anticipation, 343 took their project to the show-floor at the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo. During this time, 343 showed off Halo 4's 3 main game-modes; campaign, wargames, and spartan ops. In order to show off each of the 3 aforementioned game-modes, 343 built 3 different versions of the same game. One that booted to an incredibly limited campaign menu, one that booted to a limited wargames custom games menu, and one that booted to a limited spartan ops menu. These 3 builds would come to be known as the Halo 4 E3 builds. Contrary to what one might initially believe, each build is unique from one another considering each aims to show off different parts of Halo 4.

Keynote
The keynote presentation build is perhaps this collections' most interesting build, at first glance. To clarify, this build is the one that 343 played live on stage during the their presentation. Additionally, the build contains an early and highly scripted version of the mission 'Infinity' which is the 4th mission Halo 4's campaign. With the mission being heavily scripted, it is very easy to miss triggers and even entire pieces of dialogue given the player moves in a sporadic manner. Before moving into the brief demo sequence, it is important to first take a look at the introductory menu and its subsequent sub-menus. Pictured below is what a player would be introduced to after selecting the build's given xex. Pictured next to that is the menu that will be loaded upon pressing start:
