thanks very much dan. You, choot, doc and I need to get back to cracking this AC fellow lol

i personally love the halo 2 cortana imo she is by far the best.

Thanks Choot much appreciated, people just need to calm and wait for the game to come out, if these things are gonna make it better or worse either way im very curious to check them out in the game, as campagin is my main priority and interest these new features for MM hasnt really hit me with a bang.

there is already a thread i made about this, im not sure how to take all of this at the minute.

No problem AD you're very welcome.

Here is a new picture of cortana from the game informer magazine, now if you see it looks alot different than the art piece released the other day. I think this new image of cortana is alot better than the other art piece we seen. This picture looks close enough to in game footage (i know its not in game but you know what i mean). I was a bit worried when i seen the the art picture of cortana the other day but this new pic has eased that worrying feeling, to me it looks like she is going back to an image that would suit a halo 4 cortana but its still not quite there yet but i am very happy with this image of her. http://s17.postimage...h/h4cortana.jpg Update: here are images from game informer magazine. http://i1069.photobu...0Informer/5.jpg there is dialogue between master chief and cortana also thers a part that explains the chief forcing a doorway open when escaping the forward unto dawn like what we seen in the first look vidoc in this link but as i said the text is going about as fake -http://i1069.photobu...0Informer/6.jpg talks about MC stumbling across covenant rouges also mentions that the shield world we see in the teaser is called "requiem" -http://i1069.photobu...0Informer/7.jpg It stated that requiem (the shield world) was able to protect everything inside against the firing if the halo array-http://i1069.photobu...0Informer/8.jpg It says that MM will be called infinity featuring the UNSC infinity ship-http://i1069.photobu...0Informer/9.jpg It talks about how halo 4 will will have gameplay-changing upgrade to their character for MM like COD or BF also the new feature "spartan op's" something like bonus mission that come out each week that tells a story about the UNSC Infinity -http://i1069.photobu...Informer/10.jpg http://i1069.photobu...pg?t=1333791360 Talks about armor abilities, sprint being a standard ability that can be used anytime and talks about the new "forerunner vision" also states about a FFA playlist called "regicide"-http://i1069.photobu...pg?t=1333791360 http://i1069.photobu...pg?t=1333791360 States that elites are not playable in MM-http://i1069.photobu...pg?t=1333791360 Update: Frank O'Connor's response to game informer- http://halocouncil.c...-Info-on-Neogaf "The magazine scans were always going to come out the day after the cover debuted, that almost always happens. We can't talk about the story in detail, because it is GI's exclusive. I will say that some of the things that "invested, emotional" players are "raising eyebrows slightly at" are being very misinterpreted ("random" weapon spawns for example) but we will be able to clarify some of those things in due time. Some of the other features, abilities, are also being discussed with no context (not your guys' fault, obviously) and frankly, a video of TS would probably allay many of the especially hysterical reactions, but we're not there yet. We haven't seen a single reaction we didn't expect (apart from the Dax love story) and we will clarify a lot of this stuff 100% in the coming weeks and months. SOME of the things in here won't be properly understood outside of a holistic experience (modes, progress, fictional setting, etc) but I am going to say one thing and leave it at that: It feels like Halo, it does NOT feel or act like the other game(s) it's being compared to. Again, without playing it, you can't be blamed for jumping to certain conclusions." Update: David Ellis' response to fans on neogaf-http://halocouncil.c...-Fans-On-Neogaf David Ellis (multiplayer designer at 343i) responds to fans on Neogaf about the changes from the May issue of GameInfromer. "For those expecting a podcast release this weekend, don't. All of the information you're getting at this point is from leaked scans of the GI article. As is the case with all cover stories, the magazine needs to start hitting more hands before we offer full clarifications. I will say this, some of the conclusions that are being reached are not entirely accurate. Some of the mp items mentioned in the story have changed since the media visit. I can't really say too much more at this time, but please be patient while we begin clarifying and answering questions in the near future. As Frank has said previously, we knew some elements of the Halo mp evolution would be controversial in some circles, while many others would be less so. Keep in mind that none of these design decisions have been made lightly, but have been carefully thought out and continue to be tweaked based on feedback from people playing the game. And yes, Spartan Ops is as awesome as it sounds. Can't wait to share more." Update: Pushing the xbox to the limit, the technical side of halo 4-http://www.oxm.co.uk...running-halo-4/ 343 Industries' Frank O'Connor has revealed that the company is pushing the console hardware to the limit with the upcoming Halo 4. "We're out of space, we're out of horsepower, we're out of everything," he told us at Microsoft's Spring Showcase event in San Francisco. "If you're doing your best work that machine should be exhausted when you're done, and we're getting there." "I think the clever thing to do is make your trade-offs early and then go over what you intend to do, and that's where we are now." The results are undeniably spectacular. Our brief glimpse of Halo 4 multiplayer at the showcase, including a trailer that's arriving on Halo Waypoint very soon, showed visuals that look noticeably superior to 2010's Halo Reach, following a comprehensive retooling of the game's engine. The graphics in particular have been "really rearchitected" according to amazingly-named executive producer Kiki Wolfkill. "Obviously we have people on the team, particuarly on the programming team, who've done a ton of 360 development, who've been there since the beginning, and we're just really lucky to have giant brains working on it." Principal engine programmer Corrine Yutweeted over the weekend that Halo 4 is "the best looking game on Xbox and any other consoles we ever made and we're all from AAA studios." Steady now. Other developers presently in the act of pushing Xbox 360's limits include Epic, which claims Xbox 720 needs 10 times the power to run the new Unreal Engine, and Crytek, whichasserts that CryEngine 3 will dazzle "no matter what next gen consoles come up with". Leave the poor thing alone, you monsters. Update: I've seen a list of weapons that are said to be confirmed I have no link to this yet but I will put it in when i get it, if anyone has a link to this please post it, it would be much appreciated and helpful. Heres the list: -AR,DMR,BR (As we all know at this point) -Covenant Carbine -Assault Carbine -Rocket Launcher -Shotgun -Sniper -Magnum (This can be seen in the vidcoc strapped to the spartans leg) -Plasma pistol Update: Frank say's no armor lock http://www.neogaf.co...&postcount=1045 Originally Posted by TheOddOne: Although no mention of armour lock coming back, they know we hate it. Yeah, no Firefight. Hopefully Spartan Ops can fill that void. Armor Lock is gone. Spartan Ops will scratch that and other itches. Update: Frank answers about forerunner x-ray (This was posted a day or two ago) http://3.bp.blogspot...1600/Frank1.PNG and http://2.bp.blogspot...00/Frankie3.PNG also this one isnt about the x-ray vision but it may clear a few things up for those who are concerned about "random" weapons http://4.bp.blogspot...00/Frankie2.PNG I will try my best to gather any new info about this and update it.

i really hope rooster teeth stays way from any halo game.

heres a picture from the game informer magazine its not much but here you go http://i1246.photobu...7023/photo3.jpg the elite looks horrible imo

yeah true but the black dots are part of the visor

those are not to black eyes, those dots are on the visor im not sure what they are for, some one else posted a thread few weeks back because they thought there was a face reflection on the visor because it has those dots, its not someones eyes its the dots thats a part of the visor, and the purple reflection is just light.

i was wondering is this cortana concept art just gameinformers image of cortana, or did 343i make this piece or artwork, because if it's just gameinformers then cortana might look completely different in halo 4 since it would be kinda fan made, because when halo 3 was coming out non microsoft/bungie game mags had art pics of cortana that were completely different to bungies image, so im wondering if this pic of halo 4 cortana is 343i's work or gameinformers

heres the gameinformers May cover, all the best bits are actually in the magazine but it tells us what things it going to talk about also new concept art piece on cortana (not sure if i like it) http://www.gameinfor...led-halo-4.aspx bulletin http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/04/05/The-Halo-Bulletin-4512.aspx

yeah i was never able to get my head around them, there has to be some meaning to the other numbers, when i first seen them i checked to see if they were IP addresses but they arnt and they are too long to be IP's.

i was helping my friend with the halo cea terminal achievement and i noticed that the numbers within the name of the latest archive (00000309120654) were similar to the numbers that appear at the start of each terminal,so that got me curious so i went through them to see if it would come up and those numbers are in the halo cea second terminal which appear as 000003.09.12.06.54 also thats the terminal were the forerunner symbols that appear at the end translate to the word HALO4, and what striked me was that AC's facility is called conventus which is latin for assembly point, meeting point etc as myself and fzdw11 stated earlier, ok so conventus=assembly point and in that halo terminal all the monitors for each installation were together in some place and we see 343gs going to join them before going to there installations. Could that place in that terminal be AC's facility?

what spoilers? there arnt any here

yeah that one

some people from halowaypoint got the same email as, me, dan, doctor

make a post then post it go back to it and click edit and at the bottom you will see where it says full editor and it will allow you to add attachments

you said that you said to AC that you were a shanghelli then you said it replied saying that you were not the species that you claimed to be.

ask a mod

,

i bet you're lying

i mentioned earlier about the symbol on the new archive and the one in the email looking similar, i put them both together for a better look, the pic came out smaller than i expected but you can still see it ok

yes definitely the weapon from the trailer

i was also googling the meaning it said its latin for an assembling point, coming together. Any ideas on the numbers?
