The troubled cryo-sleep of Halo 4 [Video]

The latest teaser for October’s live-action Halo 4 ‘Forward Unto Dawn’ deals with the lovely subject of sleep. Ahh, sleep, how can they make that sound bad? Oh. It’s a cryo-sleep that can feel “like death”. Great.

Don’t worry though, sometimes in cryo-sleep you’ll just have weird dreams instead. Hopefully the end of the series isn’t just going to be “and the Master Chief woke up”.

The relevance of all of this will probably be clearer when the five-part series begins for real in October. Meanwhile, Halo 4 (the actual game) will be released for Xbox 360 on 6 November.
