Yeah I know it is effective, but it is still a pistol, if I stay back and use the DMR or BR etc. I can kill the flag carrier faster than he can kill me

the Falcon was confirmed in a Spartan Ops mission, the Hornet was also seen in the background of another Spartan Ops mission, now they may not be in the MM, but ehy are at least in SO and possible Campaign

Some more detail on changing your Spartans Pose, as well as the Concussion rifle seen as a pick-up option, emblems, color options, and visor colors. Take a look http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/9116/article/halo-4-pax-info-blowout-customization-options-detailed-radar-concussion-rifle/

Sandtrap! Valhalla was a remake of Blood Gulch, Bloog Gulch is too obvious. Could be wetworks or zanzibar, but zanzibar is kinda a medium map. Could also be Sidewinder, but I have a feeling it will be Sandtrap.

They probably will be, we have weapons form all 3 factions so it would make sense to have a couple vehicles form all 3 factions as well.

Incorrect, it is not slightly more powerful, it does however have unlimited ammo, so you can spray away and reload to your hearts content. Add unlimited ammo to the scoping capability of the magnum could make it more powerful, but the damage is the same.

@Stealth: Next time, provide a link instead of telling people to search for what you are saying exists. Here is the link to the Exile gameplay/Concussion Rifle Pickup Option:

Learning to jump with the added Boost of the Jet Pack will not even come close to its misuse in Reach. It really is just a tool to get to a higher platform or ledge etc.

They make us carry until death to reinforce 343i's focus on team gameplay this time around. Reach was really a solo/lone wolf game, 343i is trying to make Halo 4 a team based game. Which I like.

The only problem with farming kills as the flag carrier is if the enemy player is even remotely good, they can kill you from a distance with the DMR, Carbine, BR, grendaes, etc. Also if their temmates sho up a pistol will not win lol

Thats a good theory, I figured it would not be the actual time of 12, merely due to the fact that that cheevo would thus take a bit for peole to sync up with and get. I also had a feeling it would be a massive EMP or tech outage, but who knows. Good post.

Good post, thanks for the awesome info...too bad it was the E3 build, as a lot has changed since than and the new PAX build looked way way better.

As far as I know it was stated that there will not be a "separate experience" in campaign, as in, the spartan we play as is Chief, and we will not be playing as a diffeent spartan, or our spartan from War Games/Spartan Ops. 343i wants it to remain solely MC's campaign. In all of the cutscenes etc. 343i wants the player to really feel MC and by playing as a different spartan, that would negate that.

it does not appear that there will be a full armor DLC released post Halo 4 launch, but who knows. I know that after ComicCon, Frank O'Connor said that they are going to release a Pre-Order Bonus DLC pack that will available on Xbox Marketplace and contain ALL Pre-Order bonuses.

@agenticeland: Where did you get this info because Frank O'Connor stated that Elites would not be playable in MM or any other game mode. And there is no Elite Ops, it is only Spartan Ops, now there may be a mission where you play as an Elite, but that is highly unlikely. OP, don't forget to add that Frankie confirmed there will be a Pre-Order Bonus DLC pack available on Xbox Marketplace post Halo 4 launch.

Meh there will be way better armor than MC's personally...but I will look forward to unlocking all of it thats for sure

I fully agree Director, Jet pack was worse than AL

Falcon confirmed, and Hornet was seen in a SO mission, so we think the Hornet is returning as well, but no confirmation so far. Grizzly would be too OP

Evade has essentially been evolved into Thruster Pack. Which btw, from the PAX videos appears to be awesome, combined with sprint

Yeah Ferret I read that too...sad day, I really liked the past versions of MC's armor. It also appears that the armor is wearing in the campaign is not going to be for everyone, BS Angel states that it is a "Cortana Special" that only Chief gets to wear. The Mark VI armor we get is a slight variation of Chiefs. I like the fact that they are adding pale colors to the original bright/ solid colors. Still having 32 helmets to choose from for the most part is pretty sweet in my opinion.

it is not a rumor...it is in the Q&A. I posted the link above from BS Angel over at 343i. And yes I have played all Halo games on Mythic solo, while I have played all on Legendary co-op (merely for the achievement)

Legendary is a joke...Mythic is the way Halo is meant to be played. I only play legendary on co-op to get the cheevo, mythic is the only true way to play Halo. If they make Chiefs armor available to solo-legendary completion that I prob wont get it. Here is the link from this weeks halo bulletin, about to the end it is stated that Mark VI armor is indeed a reward for completing the campaign on legendary and that not all of MC's past variants will be available in the Halo 4 armory...sad day http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/05/The-Halo-Bulletin-9512.aspx it also appears that the armor Chief wears in Halo 4 campaign is unique to Chief being called "Cortana Special" armor. Seemingly we can not get that armor. This is also explained in the Q&A in this weeks Halo bulletin.

Well after Galsslands we also know she is alive...but dealing with that devil of a human Parongosky...grrr...

Yep the Locus Helmet SKIN is what is the pre-order bonus. Not the helmet, just the skin. ALSO, Frank O'Connor stated at ComicCon that a Pre-Order Bonus DLC pack will be coming out AFTER Halo 4 launches. It will be available on the Xbox Marketplace and will contain ALL pre-order bonuses. (Gamestop Forest Armor Skin, EB Games Arctic Weapon Skin, Amazon WEB Skin, Microsoft Store Pulse Skin, Walmart Circuit Skin etc.) So people do not need to pre-order from multiple places to get all of the bonuses, just wait for the DLC pack.

Exactly, is this a question or a statement? Also is there any link to the information you are providing? Because I have not seen any pics, or gameplay showing the concussion rifle. Granted it was a fun gun in Reach, but it has not been confirmed in Halo 4, not yet at least.
