http://halo.xbox.com...21-9b523de68266 This is a list of so-far seen weapons and some new weapons as well, such as the pistol thing from the teaser and a few Promethean weapons. The list will be gradually updated throught E3. Enjoy

welocme to the best Halo forum I've ever used

Yes, I already know a hundred threads have been made for listing Halo 4 pre-order unlocks, but few (not even from THIS forum!) would tell me what stores offered what unlocks, or the price of their pre-order. I'll do my best to match unlocks with stores and provide images, etc. etc. If you know of another store offering a pre-order package or want to correct me (which I often need to be), just PM me, I usually check the forums daily. By the way, I will only provide inks to images to preserve forum space and retain fair load time for my crappy satellite internet service :wallbash: First, I would like to dish out the store offering the most add-ons, but at the largest price tag - MightyApe. This New Zealand distributor is offering the largest amount pre-order extras, shown HERE, including Raptor and Pulse armor skins, the flippin' awesome Locus helmet (exclusive to MightyApe), and two emblems. This may appear to be the best deal, but if you ain't in New Zealand for the release, you're paying almost $20 for ground rate shipping. It's a little ridiculous, but if it's any consolation, I pre-ordered here, too. The price may drop, and I hope like hell it does. BTW, $130NZD ~ $100USD, so the price isn't actually $30 more. Halo 4 Standard - $88.49NZD + $16.00 shipping Halo 4 Limited Edition - $129.99NZD + $16.00 shipping Probably the most popular Halo 4 pre-orderers (if that is a word) are GameStop & EB Games. Available with both packages is the Gamestop/EB Games exclusive Forest skin, shown HERE. Because GameStop and EB are pretty much the exact same store, you're getting the exact same thing. Rumor has it that EB Games is also offering the Arctic weapon skin in Canada. I believe both stores offer free ground shipping and expensive release date shipping (feel free to correct me), but you can have shipped to a nearby store for free or pre-order at the store. Halo 4 Standard - $59.99 Halo 4 Limited Edition - $99.99 Another great store for pre-ordering any game online is Amazon. Amazon's offer is the interesting Web armor skin, shown HERE. Amazon is also a seller for multiple online stores if you want to look into who's all selling Halo 4 on their store. I know Amazon offers free ground shipping but I do not know their fastest shipping speed or the price of that speed at the moment. Amazon would be my personal alternative to MightyApe. Halo 4 Standard & LE - $59.99 & $99.99 Like MightyApe, Best Buy is offering the Dead Space-esque Raptor armor skin, shown HERE. Best Buy offers free ground shipping for those who pre-ordered online, they can ship it to a local store for free, and you can pre-order it at the store itself with a down payment. Also, pre-ordering here gets you 15% off a game guide if you want one. Halo 4 Standard - $59.99 Halo 4 Limited Edition - $99.99 Walmart is currently offering the Circuit armor skin, shown HERE. The skin kind of reminds me of Tron with a Big Daddy helmet, but overall, not that interesting to me. For those readers in the UK interested in this skin, it can be purchased from Gamestation as well. Walmart offers free ground shipping. Halo 4 Standard - $59.96 Halo 4 Imited Edition - $99.96 Britain's Buy.com, called Play.com, is the only seller of the Dead-Eye helmet skin (HERE), but being an American, this package is not worth the trouble of purchasing from Play. Besides, rockin' this would just put a big bull's eye right on my head, which isn't for me. Regardless of my opinion, Play only ships within the UK and offers free ground shipping. Halo 4 Standard - £44.99 Halo 4 Limited Edition - £69.99 Also available in the UK is the Oceanic armor and a weapon skin pack from Game.co.uk. I'm afraid their website does not denote exactly which weapon skin come with the preorder set, based on the image I can speculate that one of the skins is the Arctic weapon skin that GameStop and EBGames also offered. Game also offers a good price for UK gamers and it ships free anywhere in the UK. Halo 4 Standard - £39.99 Halo 4 Limited Edition - £64.99 Another skin I liked and is already available with the MightyApe package is the Pulse armor skin, shown HERE. The store offering this skin exclusively is Microsoft's game store (also available via xbox.com). Microsoft offers a good deal because they ground ship for free and toss in $25 discount on your next Microsoft store purchase. However, so far the $25 discount card is not available to the Limited Editiion copy, though that may change in the near future. Nevertheless, still a pretty good deal. Halo 4 Standard - $59.99 Halo 4 Limited Edition - $99.99 If you are looking to stay cheap for this release and don't give a rat's cerebral cortex (keepin' it clean) about exclusive armor skins, Buy.com has the best price for Halo 4 I've seen on the internet so far and ships very cheaply. Halo 4 Standard - $54.99 + $5.18 ground shipping Halo 4 Limited Edition - $73.99 + $5.18 ground shipping I hope you guys find the skin that's right for you, feel free to correct me or suggest another store I can add to the list via PM, and thanks for reading!

I would like to see a remake in which the gameplay isn't altered, go for a classic Halo experience

welcome to the new ultimate halo forum

well the screenshot labeled an ability called Promethian Vision, so the name may have been changed

Perhaps the 'Promethian Vision' ability refers to the new enemy we will be facing? and I hope Hardlight Shield isn't another armor lock

just to clear up a little, Halo 4 is taking place on a planet-esque dyson sphere that, at least for now, is called Requiem. Fans of the novels believe this planet is either Onyx or, though less likely, Charum Hakkor. Cortana WILL surely face rampancy There are new enemies but I wouldn't yet rule out any old enemies yet. The flood are the oldest beings in the galaxy, so I don't think they're done yet This had better be GotY or I will be PO'd There are several confirmed new weapons and more yet to be revealed (so far, I'm livid for the Rail Gun) Finally, there is a new Halo score written by Englsh media composer Neil Davidge, and the overture he wrote for Halo 4 is BA Can't wait for release, until then we'll know more come E4

thx for the intro, welcome to the forum, yadda yadda yadda...

Halo, Call of Duty, and every other premier shooter grew and will continue to grow how Microsoft sees fit. 343 is trying to add individuality to its games, not necessarily conforming to Call of Duty. I know these additions that offer slight advantages to each player upset many veteran Halo fans (myself included), but the game will sell better with these additions and will be wider accepted by the next generation of gamers. Even in the gaming industry, survival of the fittest determines who succeeds with flying colors and who becomes extinct. To survive, Halo must evolve to the environment it finds itself in, and that is what 343 is doing.

that would be fun... but it wont happen

the cover of the most recent Game Informer revealed a new UNSC rail gun and i believe there will be another AR as well. im sure there are several more unconfirmed weapons that we will see come e3

i hear 343 will reconfigure Bungie's quitting/joining system for Halo 4 so this will no longer be a problem

so what if the elites do not have HUDS in this game? technically, the Arbiter did not have one in Halo 2 but he was still a playable character. I think 343i tossed out the elite because they are, overall, going to be insignificant in halo 4 and would waste precious disc space that can be used for other additions.

welcome to the most bro forum on the internet since MLIB

cool i was wondering what that was. hopefully its like a handheld gauss cannon, itd be the best gun in the game

no joke? toothpaste? thats ba!

sounds like a short story for Halo Evolutions

like Azaxx said, nowhere on the video is mention of 8v8 only, and I read the Game Informer article myself. Just know that forge will be revamped and we will know to what extent in november

haha! no internet service? sounds like me i just firefight the whole time
