Subject: The Scoop on Halo 4 - New Information

I want to believe you, but even I have seen some professional looking fake stuff.

How about a blurry image in low quality. That's how real leaks are nowadays from Halo :).

Come one, you know you want to. It's not like they're going to hunt you down.

It SEEMS believable - I mean, everyone said that the Halo Reach leaks were fake, but looking back they were actually very much real. So I'm going to take all of this into consideration, but I won't get my hopes up for any of it actually happening.


This. Except Bungie dun goofed it up. The leaks of Winter Contingency and Nightfall were much, much more promising.

Weapon and Vehicle customization? God, no. Please don't go that route 343i.

Seem's cool, hopefully they don't get too heavy in the customization aspect and turn it into CoD.

Im txgrim4 (Grim, Grimmy, Grimsta), i have been playing xboxlive for 9 years, evr since day 1 of Halo:CE til now. I love H2, that and Halo 1 are my favs. Im a Halologist when it comes to the Bungie/Halo Universe. Ive also played Marathon Series, ONI, and Myth Series. I live in Texas, Play Football, and cant wait for Halo 4!

I completley agree

Numba one Italian on da flud.

I hope they find a way to make you no more feel ''the last man standing'' feeling. Because in Reach, you were in a 5 spartan team yeah, but it seemed like you were the last one anyway.

And the article looks pretty true.

A simple google search finds your "source" straight away.
But discussing leaks is against the rules, so you might want to be careful.


Lol, it's funny that in that particular forum he quotes this post, even the part at the end that says 'cheers - shadow'

On topic: Perhaps this forerunner installation, Sigma 7, was a place similar to the ark. The ark was used to keep a specimen of all the species of the galaxy so that after the Halo ring was activated they could repopulate the galaxy. Perhaps this place was where they kept all the specimens of environments, plantlife etc.

That way after the Halo ring was fired and the galaxy was all destroyed that could go terraform the galaxy with a kind of a catalog of all the natural environments of the galaxy.


Probably not, because the Halo rings only destroy actual physical environments at point-blank range (i.e. only in the same star system as the ring), so that would only be like 7 systems out of the entire milky way to terraform.


Yeah, that's right, it only kills the flood's food. Well if this leak is true then I wonder why the Forerunners would have a plant with the inner crust filled with various natural environments.


Ghosts Of Onyx explains this - if you haven't already, read it. It's a good book.

I'll explain it to you in shortened terms. Basically, as you said, Halos kill the Flood's food (note: not the Reach forum...), including Forerunners. The Forerunners, being self-preservationist, built "shield-worlds" like Onyx or "Sigma 7", as a sort of bomb-shelter or fallout-shelter from the Halo Array.

Seems believable, it may as well be.

Doesn't tell us very much information, we already knew the planet would most likely be forerunner as only the core Halo fans know anything about precursors.

Stupid customization in every game annoys me.

I DO have time to bleed...i just dont want to.

its wierd tho his armour looks different and it has a bilt in jetpack richt but how did these modifications happen if he was in criosleep since halo3 and what is that gun he is holding in the trailer it lookes like a granade launcher pistol(whitch is awsom) and why is he facing a forerunner structure when he comes out of the ship if the ship was heading towards a unknown planet at the end of halo 3?

I wonder if this planet could be Onyx then? In the Ghost of Onyx were there UNSC forces on the planet and were they cut-off, 'degraded and disorganized".


Well, at the end of GoO, Onyx's crust is revealed to be made out of billions of Sentinels, and reveals the shield world that is described in similar terms to the Legendary Planet. There are several people inside the shield world at the end of GoO:

Spartan-IIs:
Fred
Kelly
Linda

Spartan-IIIs:
Ash
Olivia
Mark
Team Katana (in cryo sleep in Forerunner Slipspace Pods)

Chief Mendez
Catherine Halsey

So, not what I'd call "disorganised" as they apparently set off to find a way out - the portal closed on them, by the way.

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.

I don't understand why the UNSC would be fighting itself. Unless these particular forces were trapped inside at some point in the past, followed by a Lord of the Flies type scenario. Other than that, I'm not really liking this implication.

It has been a bit since I read it, but they were running from covenant forces, correct? So possibly some covie survivors?

That is the Legendary planet.

Interesting. I don't know what to think, but it is definitely believable.

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.

If that's true, I can already say I won't buy it for multiplayer. Halo is the only FPS these days that doesn't follow the customization formula. Customizable weapons really throws off the balance in multiplayer. I would still buy it for campaign as long as the story was great. I hope that isn't true and I also believe it isn't. That simply sounds too predictable to be true. It would also be pretty suspicious coincidence that the game got leaked about twelve hours after it was revealed.

I am always suspicious about leaks. In this kind of situations people only remember the leaks that were confirmed true, like the "Tom Morello leaks" of Halo Reach. What about faked leaks like Halo Nemesis and Bungie Aerospace? My point is, there are always more fake leaks than leaks that are actually true. What comes to quality of the leak, I trust a blurry picture more than an article with no confirmed source. After all, I could write as believeable article in few hours but could never make a believeable blurry picture. Actually, not giving a source and claiming to have one doesn't sound very believeable. I could say that Halo 4 will have 32 player multiplayer matches but can't give a source for a reason I don't want to tell (because I don't have one) and no matter how much you want to know I wont tell it (because you already know I don't have one).

But that's just my opinion. I didn't believe the "Tom Morello leaks" either. They too sounded too predictable. Just remember: if you put enough time in it, you can make anything look perfectly believeable.

Who will develop, Halo 4 will it be Bungie?

Because it seems that Microsoft is just using the fact that Bungie made Halo on their console to drain the concept and will eventually the Halo 4 game which would be terrific for the sake of the reputation of the serie so far.
