All of the known Halo 4 information and Halo CEA information:

PLEASE REPLY AND SAVE THIS THREAD SO THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE THIS.

Sources and Useful Information:
343 Sparkast 04 and Podcast
Halo 4 Teaser Trailer
Halo Waypoint Frankie Bulletin
Halo Anniversary Exclusive Interview



Recently people have been very unhappy and are worried about a few things are saying. I will clear out the mess now. I received this information from the various podcasts and videos on Halo Waypoint, so if your too lazy just read all the below:

Halo CEA:
*$40 USD, not a full price game.
*Gameplay is identical. Proof? Press the Back Button at any time in the game and the old CE graphics engine will come into play, CLASSIC MODE. It is a real time change.
*Graphics have been overhauled. Looks beautiful *Sheds Tear*.
*Also, some edits to the Library have occurred e.g. more lighting.
*Co Op over Xbox Live. Split Screen Coop not confirmed.
*Pistol is still super OP, vehicles are indestructible. GAMEPLAY IS THE SAME!!!!
*Audio is also remastered, but with very few edits. Marty would be proud.
*One Disk.
*Campaign uses the Reach Alpha Engine, with full HD and 3D.
*Multiplayer will introduce 7 classic maps from Halo CE.
*The maps confirmed are: High Em High, Beaver Creek, Damnation and Timberland.
*There is also 1 Firefight map, and is possibly based in the Library. Flood Fight?
* You do not need Halo Reach to play on these maps, but if you only have Halo Anniversary you can only play with those maps.
*The multiplayer component is not of the original Halo CE, but of Reach. Frankie stated that they didn't use CE's multiplayer as the net code would not give the same experience. Also, people would pistol spam 24/7.
*As of now, Forge, Theater and a separate Firefight component will not be in the game.

I am very impressed. I can guarantee you with what we know Halo CE has not been ruined, but in fact stoked into legend. Do not hate on this game, 343 have done an excellent job.

Halo 4
*Takes place immediately after the events of Halo 3.
* The slogan stating a "new evil enemy" is likely not referencing to the Flood. The Flood is certainly not new in the Chief's point of view!
*Teaser is not accurate canon wise and the so called changes in John's armor may be due to a lack of artistic license.
*Armor Abilities will likely not return, the "jet pack" is in fact a booster pack. Read Halo: First Strike.
*New weapon fires explosive bolts. Looks similar to a pistol. Custom Modification.
*Customization of weapons and vehicles is rumored, but is not confirmed.
*The ship is the Forward Unto Dawn.
*The box art may not be final.
*Halo 4 is the 1st game in a new trilogy.
*Will be full priced, new multiplayer component.

Looks Good. Lets wait for more information. Also, use the Waypoint Forums. If you want something in Halo 4 e.g. Flood Firefight, ask now, while the game is in Alpha.

343 Industries has taken Halo to a new level. Don't negatively judge a game before it comes out.

Thank You and I hope I've cleared your doubts.

Podcast 343Vest04. It isn't technically confirmed but they really leaked it out to us. Similar Dialogue: "Also, the new firefight map is awesome. You guys might have already guessed where it is. Library." I may be wrong, but what an idea!

I'm fairly certain they were joking about that because they then proceeded to talk about how "fun" it would be to start at the top and grind your way to the bottom and having a kick explaining that before moving on with straight forward explanations. After having had listened to Frankie back in the Bungie podcasts it sounds like to me he's joking about the Library in the same way he's joked about other concepts in Halo 3 in the past.

15:08

Frankie: It makes perfect sense. People will have guessed it correctly by the time they listen to [this podcast]

David: But a lot of people will guess it incorrectly.

F: Of course!

D: *in mocking tone* So like the Library!

-Laughing from both-

F: *same kind of tone* Yeah! So you start from the top, -more laughing from David in the background- then work your way down...

D: It counts as a new level cause it's backwards.

F: Yeah exactly- *change of tone to straight up explanation* So, but the maps we choose....(goes on to discuss map selection)

You may be right. Other possible locations could be the Pillar of Autumn Bridge, Truth and Reconciliation, The Halo Control Room, Silent Cartographer Building and possibly the Longsword Hanger in the Maw.

Who's awesome? ^ this guy.

But why is Master Chief's armor different if it's jsut a lack of artistic ability? That doesn't clear anything up, it jsut makes me worry more about why his armor is changed, it's not right, they even put that gash in the right breast plate to ensure us that is his armor.

No. What I mean by artistic license is that the people who made the CGI trailer did not have the rights to make the armor exactly how it is supposed to be.
Also, the trailer is not canon. This is similar to the Halo:Reach World Premier, which was different to the actual cutscene.
Also, this may point out that later in the game the Chief may change his armor.

Sigh....let me put this idea into your head:

Who says the trailer is at the beginning of the game ?

Halo 3's starry night and announcement trailers were set half way through the game.

Think about it !!!!

Starry Night is not canon. It is another CGI film to give an idea of how the game would be. But yes, this is similar to the announcement trailer.

Let's move away from the whole canon issue, forget that and open up.

The point I am trying to make is that everyone has assumed its at the start of the game - but who actually knows this ? No-one.

Everyone has leapt onto the bandwagon and has concentrated on his armour, rather than the fact we are due to get two kick-ass games ?

The armor also changed between Halo CE and Halo 2, and it looked good. People are just too used to complaining. It is called the "Reach Forum Disease".
