If this is true this will probably be a horrible game as the story just sounds like crap
If this is fake I have to say that your a genius for make bs sound legit

But curiosity gets the best of me of what happens to master chief next although marines just chilling at the surface of this presumed forerunner planet seems to be some bs pulled out of the companies a*s
And I think it's stupid for them to "expand series trademark arsenal of weapons and vehicles" they are not just introducing weapons etc but expanding it which can also conclude in also the presence of covenants as well as humans

Also if this is true I'm curious on how ONI is involved in the plot. I wouldn't think the ONI would be relevant to master chief in a unknown forerunner planet unless they created the planet or something else which is stupid nonetheless

maybe the marines and the UNSC forces are those of the Spirit of fire

Hi I'm a new Member at the site and I want first to say hellow to everyone.On topic now well this is a game I will be looking forward of... watching it again from the Youtube since I don't have an Xbox but I do have some coplaints already I mean the armor is definatly not the mark 6 whatever those in halopedia they say. The've uploaded pic of the armor and it's nothing like the mark 6 not to mention it's missing a codpiece . But anyway it is going to be great to continew the chief's story even if the armor is not anything like the original. I aslo see having read your article some Crysis features on the weapon customization (BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT SPRINT SHOULD NOT BE AN ABILITY BUT SOMTHING ALREADY BUILT IN LIKE MOST OF THE OTHER FPSs )anyway hellow again.
P.S.
Anyone knows how can I change my gamertag "alphaslead7" because when I first created my gamertag I was aiming for Alpha B A 7 but I got constant errors and when I try to change my gameretag through the pc now I get errors .

No new games, catching up with the world, and filling it with the name of SpazDragon, the dragon with a spas-12.

A cross between a Needler and a Rocket Launcher?

A sketch from a bazillion years ago...

If this is true then it sounds like the best game ever. What I want is better character development and I want their to be some emotional sequences towards the end of the game. Games that are emotional stick with me longer than games where all you do is shoot everything. Also there better be an awesome twist.

  • 06.20.2011 11:54 AM PDT

Life Is A Gift, That's Why They Call It The Present.

As long as Chief Says some awesome quotes and blows big stuff up I will be happy ;D

I agree. Seriously though, 343 industries broke out of bungie(343 is mostly the people who made halo) and is making halo 4, and most likely more games. There is a trailer here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC2yMKMENdg

Good read, I hope at least some of it will be in the game.

There are two, possibly three ex Bungie employees at 343.

I say he's right on atleast some of it all maybe (the abillities are correct because anyone who saw the teaser knows he used a jet-pack)

but looking at some other posts, he might not be right about everything. (think of it an advance warthog and degraded marines, really?)Why, why would there be an EXTREMLY modified warthog with degraded marines?

It wasnt a jetpack, it was a anti- gravity pack that helps spartans move in space

no,thruster pack

why would an anti- gravity pack be used in absence of gravity?

I've traveled far and wide to bring you some insights on Halo 4. Here's the deal, do not ask where the info came from I cannot reveal it, do not ask for proof cause I cannot give it. If you don't believe me I completely understand, as long as you realize that any requests for a source are wasting your time. If you don't want to take my word on this that's cool, it doesn't bother me if you don't believe me.

This is a bunch of info taken from a pretty secret media blast that's been doing the rounds and is under embargo until the Halo celebration event. This document is for media outlets and they'll no doubt be publishing these details later in August during the event. This is not an exact copy of the document but a paraphrased version from a journalist.

"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.

Anyway, say what you want, fake or real, it doesn't bother me, I know it's very reliable. Feel free to comment or speculate but please keep it clean.

Cheers - Shadow


Everyone, this guy is a fake. I found the TRUE article (the exact one, might I add) that he plainly copied and pasted. He obviously didnt find this leak nor paraphrase this in any way.
By the way; here's the real article:

Your welcome.

Don't tell me that Humanity have allied with the covenant and explored new worlds together in the time between Halo 3 and 4. Cortana would have went rampant 2 times over in that period.


343 is not going to make Cortana go rampant.

Did you happen to read...
"One interesting fellow claiming to be a friend of someone, who was sent the media document about Halo 4, with information embargo till Halo Celebration event in August, has posted a paraphrased version of it on Bungie Forums."
From that same exact article.
I'm not saying he's real or anything, but holy wow try reading before you start acting like you know everything.

I've seen this on another website. This so called "leak" was said to have been false.

Move on people, nothing to see here except a copy-n-paster that wants attention.

True that, ive seen this exact paraphrase on atleast 3 other websites, this guys an idiot, and yes, this is fake

  • 06.22.2011 12:54 PM PDT

I just realized, if Cortana was in the console in the trailer, how could Chief hear her? Sound can't travel through space, was she broadcasting to his helmet too?
