ALOT MORE TO EDIT STAY TUNED

[Ipodmaster]

Very good information! some things i didn't even know about.

[EliteSniper]

Very good post, keep it up!

[Asla Raeusee]

you can play as elites in forg, custom games and there will be an elite ops

 

oops I misspelled forge

[Tallgeese]

@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.

[Jezzertle26]

i thought you got the, recruit armor only by getting LE if not thats BULL if i buy the LE version i want an in game armor, i dont care about the stupid skin, i mean truly im not getting LE for the armor but i still think they should give you it!

 

i just looked and yes with LE you get the recruit armor, and the prime skin for it and your assalt rifle

[Asla Raeusee]

I got this info from my friend Jcy 2000 and I looked at waypoint and talked to this 343 guy or friend of a 343 guy

 

I dont remember the other person I talked to, but I think it started with an se

[SykoWolf]

Nice bundle of info their mate

Good job getting it all together, i already knew most of it, but it was good to go back and read it again

[Asla Raeusee]

but you should talk to Jcy2000 he is very honest

[Angel of Death D20]

Including join in progress....Dumbest idea ever created! Why? Player connections affect the game lag. If people can join and quit on a whim then it will cause the game connection to cr@p it self much more. Plus, who wants to join a game and then lose it within seconds? Stupid.

[Fail Master]

Nice post. Must have taken over an hour to type out (unless you copyied and pasted xD )

[Tallgeese]

@Jezzertle26: You do indeed only get the Recruit armor and Prime Armor/Weapon skin for the LE. Just as you only get the FOTUS armor and skin for the 360 Console Bundle.
