Destyran Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 "Halo 4 returns players to the story of the Master Chief and Cortana in the events that follow the conclusion of Halo 3. Players will experience an all new story and introduce a new roster of enemies and weapons to the Halo experience. Set against the top secret Forerunner planetoid known to ONI as Sigma 7, players will encounter a dark new foe and unravel more of the mysteries behind the forerunners and the Office of Naval Intelligence. At the heart of Halo 4 is a stronger focus than ever before behind story telling and player choice. Players will be offered an unprecedented level of customization and a narrative experience never before seen in a first person shooter. On a technical level Halo 4 pushes the boundaries of the action genre by incorporating larger battlefields than ever before and players will experience conflicts that seamlessly span land, sea and space. Halo 4 will expand the series trademark arsenal of weapons and vehicles beyond any other title so far. Players can expect fan favorites to return along with new additions. Halo 4 will also feature the revolutionary new Arsenal Improvisation Mechanics that allow for menu-free, creative customization of weapons and vehicles in the heat of combat. Players will take their fight to a new level by dynamically tailoring their weapons and vehicles to suit any situations or enemies." At the moment it seems 343 are focusing on the new and improved story and weapons system (of which the new AIM mechanic is only mysteriously alluded to) but there was some video shown that fills in some of the gaps. Halo 4 is set on a Forerunner planet that has an inner and outer surface that provides two distinct styles. The outside is very industrial and features a wide range of hostile Forerunner tech and AI. The video showed space combat here. The inside of the planetoid is hollow and is sectioned off in to many tiers/bands (almost resembling Halo rings) that feature a myriad of natural environments not only resembling earth's but many other alien terrains. The video featured combat across a multitude of environments from space to mountains, plains and oceans. Presumably, ONI had been top secretly researching the planet for some. There are UNSC forces on the planet but they look really degraded and disorganized and it was implied that they may be divided into factions and warring with each other. At one point we see a heavily modified warthog that has had the wheels replaced two kind of anti gravity devices. At another point the Chief is clearly sprinting which possibly implies a return of armor abilities. There was no sign of the Flood or the Covenant but at the very end of the trailer the 'dark new threat' was hinted at. The video ends with the Chief standing at a dark cave entrance and from within can be heard some menacing gurgling and grunting. Cortana says "They're coming back ... and there's a LOT more of them this time", the Master chief then readies a new weapon that looks like a cross between a rocket launcher and a Needler and it focuses on his helmet and visor and a number of strange digital effects ripple across his visor then the videos ends.

Destyran Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Tbh I just wanted to be the first one to post this. I hate being on halo 4 forums because I don't like talking about something so far away. But after this I'm gonna stay at home on the reach forums.

If this is whats going on in Halo 4... sounds pretty badass to an extent but... -sighs- Don't really desire to fight an even bigger army of damned flood. Not that I would mind kicking ass as the chief from one side of the Planet to the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt S-501 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 what video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceMan Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 If that is indeed true, then it sounds like thay've gone and changed too much to keep it within the first 3 games boundries, although i did like the sound of more customisation. And from what i saw on the reveal trailer, that wasn't a planetoid at the end, it was the deathstar lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Muffins 7 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 not another operational death star! ITS A TRAP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinite LuLz Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 343 stated that this was fake moths ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean PHD Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I thought I had heard it was fake too. I like the ideas a little bit but I dont know about a grav hog or some of the other stuff. I am certianly insterested to see how they would explain the UNSC being present there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
