Everyone always happens to remember leaks that happened to be real. What about Halo Nemesis and Bungie Aerospace leaks? They were confirmed to be fake. Another reason why you shouldn't trust the leak is because it's only a piece of text anyone with decent English language skills could write. Pictures again, are pictures. Possible to fake, but very hard. Actually believeable picture needs more than just a random guy using photoshop.
The last reason you shouldn't believe it isn't so obvious and also not so important. Ironically, it's also the reason I didn't believe the Halo Reach leaks. The reason is, the leaked information sounds or looks too obvious. Let me give an example: the Halo Reach leak mentioned things like perks, for any half intelligent person this sounds like an obvious step towards the Call of Duty formula, which has got pretty popular after Modern Warfare 2. For any intelligent person, it may sound like too obvious, it sounds like the leak was trying to fulfill everyone's expectations. This could mean it might be fake.
What this has to do with the Halo 4 leak? You should already have figured it out by now. Let's see: Call of Duty formula, "perks" in Halo and... weapon customization in Halo! Sounds bit obvious step when you come to think of it, doesn't it? Too obvious? Maybe, maybe not.
I don't say you shouldn't in any way believe this leak, just don't use it as real or even reliable information. That's something that really bugs me.
P.S. Almost forgot, real leaks are very, very, very unlikely to come twelve hours after announcement of the game. Especially if the leaked information had been under embargo for a while, which is what the guy who originally started spreading it around said. If it was real, why didn't it appear before the announcement?
