If you read, it says that you have to unlock the armour abilities and weapons for your loadout, which means that it really is going in the cod route.

The OP didn't mention that you buy weapons!

Of for god's sake, I feel like crying and stabbing 343i at the same time. For the the love of all things good, why do this to us? This isn't what we wanted when we said Reach wasn't what we wanted!

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

There's still compelling evidence why this isn't real. Let us just hope.

Reasons for me to believe this is a very well-executed troll:

1. The game informer article on Halo 4 is supposed to be a 14 page article, yet all the "updates" that the OP stated were all covered in a 1-2 page area. If this were real we'd only see a few of the updates on one of the pages, instead of all of them in one area.

2. The article has plenty of typos, something no magazine editors would allow.

3. Why would there be a gigantic picture of an elite if they weren't gonna be in MP?

4. "Spartan ops" is way too obvious. Any self-respecting game developers would do their best to make it seem as if it was their own idea, and Spartan ops is just saying "hey, this is special ops but halo". Even when Halo got its own horde mode, bungie did their best to call it firefight and assure the crowd that it was their own creation. Credits and COD points are essentially the same thing, but with different titles. "Forerunner vision" is also a bit odd. The first thing I thought when reading that was "eagle vision".


What I think they might have done was that they got the game informer early, and instead of posting the real info, they kept the pics to make it look legit and changed the text. That would explain the first blurred picture on his lap, then one censored scan, then the full page, as the OP progressively added his own text.

If this is a troll, then I congratulate the OP. You have managed to make the entire halo fanbase rage and caused a good amount of them to cry in misery, and you may have just cost 343i a bit of money. If I were in your position I'd be laughing my ass off right now.

If this isn't a troll and all this is in the final product...what the -blam!- 343i? What the -blam!-?


EDIT: Well, no I guess 343i just hates the halo community

This is even more of a disappointment than Tribes: Vengeance was to me... I can't handle this. There's a faint voice in the back of my head saying "Don't jump to conclusions!" but I seriously don't see anything else happening with this.

I know, but this all explains why the creative director quit.

All hell breaks loose at waypoint and I've been watching all of it in silence. Here and there I see regret. Yet I am not shaken.

The Elites look alien but the rest would seem like carrion.

But I am not disturbed because I play Halo solely for it's campaign.
I await what is in store.

Things of interest:

-game is really about the Master Chief. Perhaps that is why the mp seems to be a continuation of/worser than Reach. After all, 343 were lazy with CEA's mp
-Cortana looks much better than in the recent concept art
-super badass Elite armor
-prologue informing players of previous events before campaign begins

Just for the note, I'm bored. All I've seen is complaint after complaint.

Yeah... The campaign actually looks amazing. I'm still looking forward to that. It's just that multiplayer has always been the main show for me. I can't stand this at all. :/

-super badass Elite armor

Something about me wants to worship and hate the Elites in Halo 4 at the same time.

EDIT: I realized it. It's the arms. Looks too much like a T-rex because they're so small compared to the legs.

She is suppose to look like Dr. Hasley, but I agree this looks way better than the original concept.

True, even the lighting looks better for campaign. The multiplayer maps that they have shown seem to have similar colour pallet to Reach.

You know, it is still possible that much of this information is faked. Could be photoshopped text from the real GI... It is supposed to be a 14 page story yet there are only a few pages shown in the leaks... This might be me just grasping at any hope for something good but it's something...

Until I get my copy of GI in the mail, I'll just be using this to help calm me down.

I'm still gonna stay positive.

At first I thought it was fake, but I've been going back and forth. Even if it is real I'm going to assume and hope it's fake until it's been discussed by 343i. This troll will be the next John Cena if this is all just fake.

If this ends up being fake, he's far beyond John Cena level. After I saw the pictures I was pretty damn convinced... Things are seeming to be a bit more clear after all the emotions have gone. It really does seem that this guy pulled one over on the entire Halo community. Whoever he is... 10/10.

  • 04.06.2012 10:33 PM PDT

Not fake, just unexplained.

Since I'm tired and too lazy to post this anywhere else, I wish they would spice up the campaign and add some interactive gameplay like enemy AI that spawns. I was thinking covenant that are after whatever you're after -assuming you are after anything-. What comes to mind is the SA-X moments of Metroid Fusion. Yesterday, I had a random dream of a foreruner guy who is really fast might I add chasing after you.

No hard feelings for posting this right?

Was posted in this thread, looks exactly like this scan.

There's one page that probably wasn't manipulated. No playable Elites in mp seems to be true.

Hopefully, this means that they'll be playable in campaign or this new Spartan Ops mode. After all, lower ranking Elites never spawned with swords.

That picture really doesn't prove anything. What matters is the text. It's obvious the pictures are real, it's just the text that's questionable.

Yeah but the text appears to be the same for this particular page. Or is the so-called master photoshopper + troll using alternate accounts?

Normally I'd express skepticism but the pics are too convincing.

So you've seen Frankie's response?

I think all the chaos yesterday (and subsequent morning) that happened because of one guy's interpretation of a magazine's interpretation. I do recall that one article on the Internet referred to perks but 343i never said there were perks. This is the last time I trust a magazine...

Why don't you trust the magazine? What they said was true except for the random weapon drops apparently. All Frankie has said is that there are a few things that they've changed since Game Informer visited them.

It's like what the guy in this thread said:

"I do understand how things can be over glorified for the sole purpose to cause controversy and make people talk..."

Furthermore, the guy who was the first to upload the scans omitted some things, such as the events that lead to the first mission and how readers of the 2 recent novels won't have wasted their time.

First of all, this wasn't over glorified. I don't see how at all the magazine could have "over glorified". The writer just bluntly stated things that were going to be in the game. That's like saying a journalist saying "Reticle bloom will be added into Halo: Reach" would have been over glorification.

Second, the reason he omitted those things was because supposedly he didn't want to give away any campaign "spoilers" that people might not want to read. This has nothing to do with the concerns of people towards the multiplayer side or the integrity of the magazine you're saying you don't trust.

True...

Ok, I guess.

Edit:

I had high expectations for CEA Firefight. And I wasn't disappointed.

Just tried it on Easy. Got to finally try out the Jetpack. It was awesome!! The Mongoose felt much more sturdier and faster. I'm definitely excited!!

Also, the preowned copy came with a working Grunt Funeral skull code which means I can do SLASO.

I'm uploading my first play test right now...
