Apparently Halo 4 leaked almost a month in advance. Supposedly someone swiped a few discs off the production line as they were being printed, and on other forums, images, videos are being shown.
I won't post any link nor will I discuss it, but this always apparently happens for Microsoft. If it wasn't Halo 4, it was Gears of War 3, and before that Halo:Reach.
I'd advise you folks to go "dark" as the vids are already on youtube and people have already livestreamed the entirety of the campaign, including the endings.

Sad part is, people do it on purpose to... I remember one time seeing a video where some people actually read the ending for Harry Potter first, waited in their car, and then shouted spoilers at poor kids and girls standing in line as they drove by. I had Halo:Reach ruined for me because I wasn't smart enough to avoid YouTube at all. People purposely write the wrong headings, etc. Stay completely dark for the next few weeks. Heck, I would assume all of us here at Bungie are now used to the "dark" lol

A spoiler tactic that got me on Halo: Reach rings clear in my head. It was a commercial for some kind of phone and then after ~5 seconds it started showing every single death of Noble team. I also recall getting a ban for making a thread all about banning a specific user because he was PMing spoilers en masse. It might have been on my other account considering it was for Halo 3.

Thats brilliant, Ghost. I might just use those. I've been anticipating this game for [i]years[/i], it was clear from the end of Halo 3 that this was inevitable and I absolutely refuse to spoil the 5 year wait by succumbing to watching some bastard's leaked video. [Edited on 10.13.2012 10:23 AM PDT]

I've been using them control my time on Bungie and Waypoint. I also recommend Better Watch page for YT, since you can auto-collapse the Suggestions. I've watched lots of the gameplay but I've made sure I watched it without the audio, sometimes skipping around so I don't fixate on the plot, and I've skipped nearly all of the cutscenes. But goddamn it is tempting to watch the cutscenes.

I'm really glad 343 released so many footage/screenshots of the first four (well, mostly the first and third levels) or I'd be massively spoiled right now. [Edited on 10.13.2012 10:26 AM PDT]

Apparenty the whole game plus the endings has been leaked... I haven't even touched my twitter. I'm off social media for a while, I just know people are itching to spoil it. People have no patience these days. Why can't they just wait like the rest of us and enjoy together. I hope Microsoft really hammers the people who got the game, and the people who uploaded it to torrent sites. Thankfully our Ninjas here are on top of things!

I'm glad it was leaked so I don't have to spend any money on it now.

Watched a couple seconds of the Legendary Epilogue. Kind of regret doing it, but whatever. Damn my curiosity.

I don't have as much willpower as others (still remember the Halo 3 endings on Youtube 5 years ago), I saw the first Campaign mission and the closing cutscene. No spoilers here. The game will be awesome (hopefully), don't let anyone ruin that.
-
I guess now is the best time to go dark. ~3 weeks left anyway, so it's not like we have a long wait.

The Didact looks kinda ugly.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BumperJohn 117 The Didact looks kinda ugly.[/quote] In Cryptum, it said that Forerunners post-1st mutation didn't really resemble Humans at all. And even less so as they got older. If he doesn't look all that "attractive", we may be fighting the Ur-Didact, since Bornstellar-Didact is supposed to look more human.

Was pretty surprised how un-human he looked, wasn't expecting it to the degree the game portrayed him. Definitely un-nerving to look at.

Not at all what I was expecting. Can't believe I'm saying this but Arby has a prettier mug than Didact. Was not expecting him to look creepy. [Edited on 10.13.2012 9:53 PM PDT]

I take it y'all saw him from leaked vids? Well, I'm saving everything for when I actually play the game. I'm not gonna get it spoiled like I did ME3. One question, tho. If it counts as leaked info, don't answer. Does he sound like the voice that said "I have long waited for this day, Reclaimer"? Is his voice distinguishable among popular Voice Actors?

However, I can confirm via legitimate sources or my own hearing that voice actor in the E3 trailer is quite possibly the same one who plays Harbinger in Mass Effect 3.

Was getting a big Joshua Graham vibe from that clip. (Same VA) Tho, I just searched for Keith Szarabajka on IMDB (Harby's VA), and he's not (yet) credited for Halo 4. So I think 343 is not listing him until release to avoid potential spoilers. Hell, the Didact isn't even on the IMDB page yet. [Edited on 10.13.2012 11:08 PM PDT]
