You actually beleive that? They're still extremely focused on Kinect, the 360 still has awhile to go, they've even said that. So don't expect a new console until 2013 at the EARLIEST. I'm guessing like 2014 or 2015 a new console will come. Plus the game has been in development for 2 years... They would have had to been making the console for 2 years also, which 2 years ago, they wouldn't have even considered making a new console yet.

Maybe the BoB helmet could be like one of the Daily giveaways, given for playing on a certain date. Possibly have it so that the Beta is still running on Bungie Day, and whoever plays then gets blue flames in Halo 4.

Good job taking my idea on the Elite side Campaign...

I say it should include new, unseen armor that looks really awesome. I also would want the War torn armor "skin" which would just make your armor look very damaged, and have bullet holes, possibly broken/dented attachments, and a huge Energy Sword scar across your chest plate. Maybe even have it so it has a bullet hole in your visor or that it's just cracked, but it doesn't effect the person using the "skin" at all

How about this: The visor can only be damaged by bullets when shields are down, unless it's by a sniper, but you would be dead anyway. It can only be cracked if shot in the head, or an explosion is close enough to your face to cause it to crack. If your visor cracks and you die, your dead body's visor will also be cracked. There will be a "Visor Repair Kit", which will fix your visor. It can only be cracked while you're still alive from an explosion or maybe even a really high jump can cause it to crack, one that does a lot of damage to you. A health pack will also heal your visor just like a visor repair kit. Visor Repair Kits will be orange with black trim, and a symbol of a Spartan's helmet on it, to make it easy to know what it is.

Is this the first giveaway from 343industries? That's pretty awesome if it is

Well the Extras section might just store the terminals you find in Campaign and soundtracks. This would be awesome, but I would like a Beta code too, or maybe it's directly accessed through the Extras menu.

Just Flood, Spartans and Forerunner Humanoids. Elites will more than likely not be in Halo 4, we know the Covenant won't be, but the Elites aren't part of the Covenant anymore so we don't know. That thing MC is going toward looks Forerunner, so possibly Forerunner humanoid characters? Also the Flood, maybe just for infection. Also make it so the Flood would either use melee, definately no sword, but it would sort of act like one, with a swing option (Melee button) and lunge (Trigger for primary weapon), or the could use some kind of shotgun, that would only work at a short range, like the length of the sword lunge, maybe make it so the rounds explode at that distance, so they cause more damage.

Make melee 3 hits, 2 for shields, since I doubt punching a shield of any kind would disable it, especially just one punch, and one punch to kill them when they have no shields. Also, if you hit someone with really low shields, it also does some health damage. So if you shoot out someones shields, then go to melee them, they still die. Only melee to shield damage is changed.

Frank O'Connor said in an interview, maybe more than one actually, that Halo 4 has been in development for over two years. It will total in about 3 1/2 years or more of development, from when they started to release date.

There would be little kids playing the Beta then who know nothing about the game, if they did this, more actual halo fans would be playing the Beta, and they would get better coverage from the Halo vets who have known how Halo should be since Combat Evolved. And I wouldn't want it to be available for everyone ever, Beta exclusive. It's exclusive, so only the people that participated get it. I would maybe even make it so you can only play in it if you pre-ordered. But then again, just saying that it comes with the Halo 4 Beta, many people will go out and buy CEA. Possibly make it so all codes for the Beta are removed from the disc on a certain date, so you have time to get it, but can't wait too long.

Thanks guys, any pic of what the case looks like?

Not sure. They said they would make the game have a more "Classic Halo Experience". Just take Armor Lock out of Team Slayer and I'll be happy.

Lol yeah, just like Older armor. Nothing like camo and that, that would change the Halo gameplay. But if you looked at someones armor, you could tell. Maybe even make it so some of the equipment on your helmet and other armor pieces are damaged, like the flashlight thing on the GUNGNIR Helmet could be dented and the front of it broken. Or just make it so your armor looks like it's been damaged and cut.

But not as "Exclusive" Beta armor. They said it just be available to everyone. This would be exclusive to Beta players, no one else could use it unless they stole your Xbox.

Do you guys think I should add this too for maybe one of the weeklys... Combat Worn Armor and New Armor? It could be like a skin for your armor, like it is for weapons (Except there is no weapons skins in Halo obviously). Would you like this as well as exclusive armor? Armor would automatically be new. So you could receive "worn armor". Possibly even have "Spartan II" and "Spartan III" armor, like the Reach style and the Halo 3 style armor, as well as the default Halo 4 style looking armor, but those could just be like armor sets, which should also be given during the Beta, such as the Mark V and Mark VI armor, and yes, maybe the Halo 2 ODST armor as well.

Why did you Pre-order Halo 4? If you're that big of a Halo fan, you should atleast wait until you can see what are in the other editions of the game. I'm either getting the Limited Edition, or the Legendary/Best edition of Halo 4. I love Halo. Hopefully it comes with exclusive armor instead of flames, flames get boring, amazing armor that nobody else has doesn't

My opinion is that that's pretty awesome. Another Pre-Order exclusive, not told about, should be a Halo 4 Beta ticket or something like that, maybe a Data Pad, to make it look cooler. Or possibly the code is given when you enter the screen, and is stored in the "Extras" menu, then you can access the Beta through that menu, to prevent people from buying it for the code, then returning the game. Either it's Pre-Order exclusive, so the true Halo fans are mostly in it, or not told about for a long time, and the price is not dropped at all until the Beta is completely over. I'm just saying since most people go out, pre-order/buy a game just to get into the Beta, then cancel or return the game. Also make it so they won't take the game back until like a week after the Beta is over, and not at all during the Beta, so it would encourage you to play it, and you would probably like it, and keep it. I think it would just be the most fair way, and not be too much work.

So most likely, I think Halo 4 will have a Beta. It's the smartest thing to do. I think it'll probably come with Combat Evolved Anniversary, just like ODST and Reach. So the Beta would obviously be Multiplayer, and feature some maps that were both good, and that 343 knew needed work (So the community could give them tips on what to do with them). Maybe even include a Firefight gametype in the Beta. But here is the big thing we would need for the Beta Players... Exclusive Multiplayer armor. It would be like the gifts with the Gears of War 3 Beta. 343i wouldn't tell you about the gifts until the last day of the week (Beta will probably go on for awhile, and you get a prize for playing during a week, or possibly a day). If it was a weekly gift, it would be told like Sunday night, "All who played this week during the Beta recieve..." so people can't look for what it will be, decide if they wan't it, then play. If it was a daily, it would be told about at the end of the day, and would be the best exclusive armor in the Beta. What I think Halo 4 should have is Multiplayer voices. Some of the Daily Prizes, could be these. There could be a "Noble Team Voice", that would be a random quote from someone from Noble Team, any character. Just a thought. Anyways, would anyone else like to have exclusive armor given out during the Halo 4 Beta (If there is one, and I highly think there will be)?

I made a thread about this on Reach forums on B.net, using the same pic. It was from an Interview with Dan Ayoub about Halo: CEA. So it's real. I think it will come with a Halo 4 Beta, and I never thought anything of the "extras" slot, only the Reach Campaign, and if it connects directly to Reach Multiplayer, where you can play with people on the Reach disc when you're on the CEA disc. It would be stupid of 343i to not do a Beta, a lot of people are unsure of how Halo 4 will be, and a Beta would reassure them that it's going to be fine. Just don't drop the price of Halo: CEA, if it does come with a Beta for Halo 4, until the Beta is over, so people can't pick it up for a small price for just the Beta. Also make it so you can get like special armor from playing in the Halo 4 Beta, like they did with Gears 3.

It's much easier for the side closest to the cave leading to the Valley. They have a bigger open area, and have the sniper. I have no idea why they put it there. I don't think there's another one either, so that side definately has the advantage, and it's harder to spawn trap that side, while the other is extremely easy to. Plus the map is just boring.

My dad served in Afghanistan. He was a Seabee, built some Medic Hospitals and some other buildings that are used a lot there, as well as being a Rifleman. They had a pet monkey instead of an armored ambulence though. He got to work with Navy Seals though. Good luck out there.

Hopefully Chief would take his place in noble team, and be smart enough to grab a banshee before heading to the mass driver, and book his ass over to the Autumn, they could wait a little longer, the cruiser was shot down. I was actually surprised they didn't just plan on getting him when he blew the cruiser, I didn't think they would let a "Hyper Lethal" Spartan just die like that when they could have easily saved him. You saw how quickly Keyes got to you when Emile died. A banshee is quicker, so it could have been possible with a couple more seconds of waiting.

The story would be totally different. Not in Halo 4, hopefully a Halo game that's built in an open world, like a Red Faction: Guerrilla set in the Halo Universe, and like 10 times better.
