Look's fantastic!

I'm waiting to get my console repaired lol, I don't want to have to spend £100 on a pre-owned Elite, I'm trying to save for the Halo 4 console! But I've paid of the my pre-order for the Limited Edition version of Halo 4. Now I just decide if I want to risk going to the midnight release by myself haha.

Raging shall commence when trying to do the campaign on legendary!

343 have said there will be classic playlists like Team Slayer (If you're confused as to why Team Slayer is a classic playlist, there will be a playlist called Infinity Slayer, which is Team Slayer, but each member can build up their own ordinance meter, then choose one of three rewards) Bsangel has also said in a bulletin that there will be playlists that don't implement Loadouts/abilites. Here is the Bulletin: http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/08/15/The-Halo-Bulletin-81512.aspx Here is the quote from that Bulletin; "There will also be playlists available that do not utilize loadouts or armor mods"

I believe they wanted to do something Halo 4 related during Dallas. And it'll very likely get picked up, it was confirmed there'll be classic playlists/playlists that don't utilize the use of Loadouts/abilities, which I guess are the same thing lol.. So there's a lot there for MLG to work with, especially if the customization in Custom Games is very vast, which I think will be, so it'll provide a fair playing ground. Maybe their gametypes will have loadouts where people can choose DMR, Carbine, or Battle Rifle, and no Abilities/Mods. We'll just have to wait and see how vast the customization is when Halo 4 releases.

Campaign!

(Providing I survive the journey back home from the midnight release in complete darkness and don't get my copy robbed from me by a bunch of hoodies) Then I think after I've installed the game to the hard drive, downloaded all the digital content, I'll load the game up, and just sit at the main menu, gaze at it's glory. Then boot up Campaign and play through that! Have you seen the Achievements list by any chance? If you have not they're in here The Halo Bulletin: 8.22.12 (Towards the bottom) We'll probably get some difficult ones in the DLC's, so be prepared for that

Agreed. I want to get my hands on the Raptor and Web Pre-order skins!

Ah apparently it's going to be a long campaign as well, so it looks like I'll have to go through all of it before I try some Multiplayer so someone doesn't spoil it for me. Or if there's a chance the people I search with want to discuss the campaign, I don't want to deny them that so I'll complete it and then we can all discuss it I remember Gears of War 3 upon release, me and a friend did a bit of Campaign, then Beast, Horde, and Multiplayer after coming back home from midnight release. The day after, Multiplayer was great fun because people were just learning how to play the game, so I just swept up all the kills and MVP ribbons :3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N-CRrP9xjQ 2:30 Imagine Prone inside that haha, just floating like "Where is the Human that bullied me?!" And then speeds of to the Infinity to search It would be nominated for the most emotional scene in Gaming if Chief had to do that seeing as Engineers (as said above) are passive creatures It's no worries dude haha, I should of stated I was joking I do apologise I've no idea why but that action just angered me. It was like when in First Strike, the corporal shot the Engineer that helped repair Chief's suit, and I believe the other Engineers on the Covenant deck were distraught before they went back to their duties. I understand the corporals reason to prevent the technology of the Chief's suit reaching Covenant hands, but it still put me of. According to Glasslands as well, the Engineers all dissapeared when the Covenant split? The only ones that appeared were those inside the Onyx Shield World, and the one the humans took from a Brute ship. I wonder if the sequel will tell us where they all went.

I was joking dude haha! I personally dislike Halsey, her bullying Prone To Drift being one of the reasons. You don't do that to beings like the Engineers. Here's wishing Lucy punched her more then once. I guess I have to congratulate Karen Traviss's work on Glasslands, I don't frequently often develop hate/like relationships towards Characters in the books that I have read. And when I do, it sticks with me. How could you say that The Chief would never do such a thing

Campaign first And then see if a few people from here wouldn't mind teaming up so I don't MM alone Hopefully there'll be a few threads going for adding people to play MM with nearer the release date! I have a feeling the people currently on my xbl friends list won't be getting Halo 4 at the time I get it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7mQAOdGtDg Go to 1:10 Even though it is the Spartan Ops screen, I believe it was said your overall Rank is across the board? And you can see as the person achieves Major Grade 3, they unlock the Battle Rifle. But I do hope, like many others that they've changed this and the Battle Rifle is a starter weapon, but it's no problem if you have to unlock it first. Hopefully they shed some knowledge at PAX!

Then it's quite obvious then, isn't it? If Halsey is in Halo 4, the actual enemy threat in this game is quite clearly going to be Prone To Drift. After being bullied by Halsey on the Onyx Shield World, he's back for revenge. Can't blame the Engineer either!

I don't mind the fact we have not had any trailers like the ones you've talked about, it adds greatly to the mystery, and allows my imagination to draw up a lot of scenarios. I like the suspense, the secrecy, it builds my excitement for when I get my hands on the game and experience what 343 have kept hidden from us!

A few more things to add is how they're continuing Master Chief's story instead of leaving him in Cryo. And Spartan Ops, now I love this idea of an episodic co-op experience that continues the storyline after you complete Halo 4's campaign. It's a fantastic leap for the Halo franchise, and I believe it ties into Halo 5? Which is another bonus. And it'll be great fun to challenge myself to soloing Spartan Ops.

Scanner helmet looks amazing haha. Music on the go! I love these helmet designs 343i are coming up with! Going to love customizing my Spartan

I think a feature I love is how you can hear each footstep the Chief takes, 343i have made it so we actually feel like we're in a very heavy suit as we move. If that makes sense lol >.< It's little things like that that further my enjoyable experience, and helps me connect to the character.

I'm fascinated to see how 343 are going to introduce the rogue Covenant onto Requiem, like how they get there. Perhaps we'll get a few hints in the sequel to Glasslands.

She's cute as well, especially when she was trying to tell Shepard her feelings haha.

Great thread, thanks for the information. Now the waiting begins.
