The Scoop on Halo 4 - New Information

I've traveled far and wide to bring you some insights on Halo 4. Here's the deal, do not ask where the info came from I cannot reveal it, do not ask for proof cause I cannot give it. If you don't believe me I completely understand, as long as you realize that any requests for a source are wasting your time. If you don't want to take my word on this that's cool, it doesn't bother me if you don't believe me. This is a bunch of info taken from a pretty secret media blast that's been doing the rounds and is under embargo until the Halo celebration event. This document is for media outlets and they'll no doubt be publishing these details later in August during the event. This is not an exact copy of the document but a paraphrased version from a journalist. "Halo 4 returns players to the story of the Master Chief and Cortana in the events that follow the conclusion of Halo 3. Players will experience an all new story and introduce a new roster of enemies and weapons to the Halo experience. Set against the top secret Forerunner planetoid known to ONI as Sigma 7, players will encounter a dark new foe and unravel more of the mysteries behind the forerunners and the Office of Naval Intelligence. At the heart of Halo 4 is a stronger focus than ever before behind story telling and player choice. Players will be offered an unprecedented level of customization and a narrative experience never before seen in a first person shooter. On a technical level Halo 4 pushes the boundaries of the action genre by incorporating larger battlefields than ever before and players will experience conflicts that seamlessly span land, sea and space. Halo 4 will expand the series trademark arsenal of weapons and vehicles beyond any other title so far. Players can expect fan favorites to return along with new additions. Halo 4 will also feature the revolutionary new Arsenal Improvisation Mechanics that allow for menu-free, creative customization of weapons and vehicles in the heat of combat. Players will take their fight to a new level by dynamically tailoring their weapons and vehicles to suit any situations or enemies." At the moment it seems 343 are focusing on the new and improved story and weapons system (of which the new AIM mechanic is only mysteriously alluded to) but there was some video shown that fills in some of the gaps. Halo 4 is set on a Forerunner planet that has an inner and outer surface that provides two distinct styles. The outside is very industrial and features a wide range of hostile Forerunner tech and AI. The video showed space combat here. The inside of the planetoid is hollow and is sectioned off in to many tiers/bands (almost resembling Halo rings) that feature a myriad of natural environments not only resembling earth's but many other alien terrains. The video featured combat across a multitude of environments from space to mountains, plains and oceans. Presumably, ONI had been top secretly researching the planet for some. There are UNSC forces on the planet but they look really degraded and disorganized and it was implied that they may be divided into factions and warring with each other. At one point we see a heavily modified warthog that has had the wheels replaced two kind of anti gravity devices. At another point the Chief is clearly sprinting which possibly implies a return of armor abilities. There was no sign of the Flood or the Covenant but at the very end of the trailer the 'dark new threat' was hinted at. The video ends with the Chief standing at a dark cave entrance and from within can be heard some menacing gurgling and grunting. Cortana says "They're coming back ... and there's a LOT more of them this time", the Master chief then readies a new weapon that looks like a cross between a rocket launcher and a Needler and it focuses on his helmet and visor and a number of strange digital effects ripple across his visor then the videos ends. Anyway, say what you want, fake or real, it doesn't bother me, I know it's very reliable. Feel free to comment or speculate but please keep it clean. Cheers - Shadow

  • EDIT: Found the link someone mentioned: [url]http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1078202%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3EOP%20and%20his%20stupid%20source%20trolled%20us.[/url] Interesting... Frankie could just be doing damage control. Halo's never been immune to leaks, so who knows... It would make sense we would get leaks now as they're probably preparing for a big magazine reveal and trying to set up the beta now. [Edited on 06.11.2011 8:46 PM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Shadow 13th I lol at the kids that think I've personally seen this information and I've personally seen the video. I haven't personally seen any of it.[/quote] He did clearly state that in his Original post. So I don't know why you people are asking. OT: It sounds...somewhat believable. I can believe ONI is there and stuff. I can't believe the weapon customization and everything. But I will keep an open mind on the whole thing and save this thread.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BRss v [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CommonCone I hope 343 will include Forerunner vehicles (both ground based and air based), weapons, like the Sentinel Beam in Halo 3, but also other types of weapons like Forerunner versions of the AR, BR/DMR, Sniper, Rocket Launcher and Spartan Laser. Suggestions for weapon attachments, AR: Extended mags, some kind of scope, undermounted stuff (nOOb tube, flashlight, shotgun, tracer (highlights enemy through walls)and motion sensor jammer). Sniper: Tracer Scope, Even-more-variable-zoom-scope, explosive-/gauss bullets. I also hope they will include "spree rewards", which won`t be overpovered (such as the floating sentinel beam, Pelican airstrike, Albatross vehicle deployment (albatross is the crashed aircraft in the MP map Sandtrap), Frigate laser beam and Forerunner Sentinel swarm). I hope they will make it possible to play as Spartans Forerunners and Elites. Maybe other races if they will join the game.+ the grappling hook Chief used at the end of the trailer (D-Pad)and armor abilities. [b]NOTE: These are only hopes. Do NOT mistake this for leaks.[/b] [/quote] Everything you just described is CoD. Please go jump in a pit of fire or fall off a cliff. Thanks[/quote] He did ask nicely.

  • I have heard many things from your stories in rumors, it is very nice to hear it all in one place, story, etc. Before reach, i got a hold of a list of all characters, weapons, vehicles, AA, etc, maybe i will for 4, but i cant tell you this is very much real.
