I found a video showcasing the new look of the Halo 4 shotgun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=T0IF0TrTocQ Like the new look or not? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article at http://gamingbolt.co...ves-in-the-game We finally know how Halo 4 shotgun will look like, and I have to say the weapon looks bada**. Earlier we revealed a placeholder version of the shotgun, which gave a good idea of how the final version will be. You can check out that video over here. The Halo 4 shotgun is a dominant close-quarters weapon specializing in boarding actions, breach maneuvers, and urban operations. Here’s what the developers had to say regarding how it feels while using it. Frank O’Connor – “Definitely not as overpowered as it has been in the past, it’s a one shot kill at point blank range (usually) but I find it’s not quite as deadly as Reach’s in close quarter strafing encounters. I use a LOT of ammo trying to take folks down without risking swapping weapons, if that makes sense.” David Ellis – “I’ve always been the kind of guy who loves to jump in the middle of a squad of enemies to see how many I can take out in my blaze of glory. As such, the Shotgun, if I might borrow a phrase, scratches that particular itch for me. With the aesthetic redesign, the Shotgun feels like a future bangstick designed with one purpose: to blow heads clean off their shoulders. Unlike Frank, I actually find this shotgun to be easier to use than the one in Reach, but when getting the jump on enemies, you better make that first shot count. Otherwise, you’ll be left wondering what could have been while waiting to respawn.” Chris King – “The new Shotgun model is SICK and definitely reads as a bit more futuristic than the previous versions. It actually has a lot longer range now, less damage falloff, and is quite a bit more powerful than say the Reach version overall, but some of that dialed up power is countered by the other changes in the game like Sprint by default, mobility-based Armor Abilities, and generally faster movement speeds. This is definitely one of my favorite ordnance weapons. I especially love finding one when I have the Speed Boost in MP.” Frank O’Connor also believes in the game and thinks it will meet expectations, and while the game won’t be perfect, it will be pretty damn good. Frank O'Connor - “It won’t be perfect, that’s impossible. We have too many constituents and variables in our game, our audience and our community for that to ever happen. But I think the vast majority of people who’ve given us their trust and confidence, no matter how warily or askance, will find something in here that meets or exceeds their expectations,” “And for the cynics, an understandable position and one we respect, I think the game may surprise even you guys. Of course time and player experience will tell, but there have been many moments that deepened my confidence in where we are. Some of those moments were big ticket brute force Rubicons, and some small, personal moments.” Read more at http://gamingbolt.co...ZEZwtxsO5meB.99

Wow, just noticed this! I appreciate the recognition and congratulaions to the others that made the list!

Sorry to hear the news of you leaving VP. I know how it is when life throws an unexpected curve your way. You will be greatly missed my friend. Keep those "grenade magnets" at bay and, as you would say.... "Keep on keeping on." On behalf of 343i.org, thank you for your many contributions. Wish you well. - Choot

Tough time indeed. I am sorry for your loss Glory and will keep your needs in prayer. Concentrate on your family who need it most. God bless. - Choot

From what we've seen in the gameplay vids, Prometheans will show aggression towards ANY outsider as they are protecting something. (an Elite gets disintegrated by a Promethean)

Splinter group of Covenant revealed as 'Storm' faction. According to Examiner.com..... Photo credit: 343 Industries/Microsoft "In the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine, details have emerged describing just what was happening in the first mission of Halo 4. This would be the very same mission shown at Microsoft’s E3 presentation and answers the question as to why the Covenant were hostile to the Master Chief. The Covenant shown in the E3 demo were part of a splinter group called ‘Storm’. Readers may remember ‘Storm’ popping up not too long ago in the latest line of Halo 4 McFarlane Toys. The ‘Storm’ faction in Halo 4 is a group of Covenant that have broken up with the main body of the newly peaceful Covenant, carrying their Prophets’ ideology and religion with them. Their motive? As of right now details are very sparse, but what little information Official Xbox Magazine did describe is that the faction’s goal is to find a powerful weapon on Requiem. Even less is known about this weapon, but the original tenants—the Prometheans seem intent on guarding this powerful weapon and will show equal hostility to Covenant and humanity alike if attempts to acquire the weapon are made." Above images taken from E3 2012: Halo 4 Gameplay Video by: Choot 'em This should answer quite a few questions we had about why the Covenant were showing aggression and attacking Master Chief. I still wonder about this "weapon" they are looking for. Enjoy!!

Did anyone notice reticle bloom on the sniper? It expands quite a bit. Should be interesting.

It was definitely an honor to be a part of the day. That one was all for you Jester! Well done Donut! Look forward to more good times!

Going through a few videos and captured some new stills... Stills taken from "Comic Con - Halo 4 Flag Stabbing and Spartan Cosplay" most images taken between 2:08 and 4:45 except the 1st one, lol Two Mammoths sliding in the cargo bay during the 'Forward Unto Dawn" trailer Mammoth in-game...possibly?? Mountable Assault Walker?? Sliding Chief Gameplay level?

Well....that's a start, at least with attempting to make a connection with the terminals! Thanks for getting on board! I am still trying to decipher the audio. It is extremely faint! If anyone has an audio editing program that could remove the tracks that have the background noise or maybe increase the volume of the voice, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm just trying to figure out what the guy is saying. I can make out a few distinct words but not the entire speach, of course I'm old and my hearing isn't that great, lmao! (dang drums, lol) What I have so far (not much).... "Station (or standard) 1075.....Station (or standard) 1075....." I will continue to decipher until someone can post more of the message. Thanks for the vote of confidence Skys! I will continue, lol! Audio link..... (http)://az204726.vo.msecnd.net/prod/audio/radio_infinity_levels_v03.mp3
