You don't want any surprises? I'm crazy tempted to know everything, but it would ruin the campaign, for me at least.

Although hasn't the majority of the plot been accidentally shown?

For me, how they handle the story is often more interesting than the story itself. Reading a script isn't the same as seeing it played out on screen, and that's where a big part of my enjoyment comes in. It's not a totally new concept, either.

I don't actively seek it out, but if I read something, it's not the end of the world. I knew about the Arbiter going into Halo 2, and I was excited to see how they made that jump.

Bungie:"Two men enter, the better one leaves, that is Halo"

includes: jetpack, armor lock, bloom.

343 takes notes and includes perks

nice.

The perks aren't really that game changing... Maybe dexterity and the grenade one. But other than that, they seem pretty passive.

 

[Pop]

Can't wait for Vidoc. Hope it's MP related.

Nope.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Tashi, Biggy, Hyper, Duncan, and Domino: I can take the audio equipment. Hooray!

Fantastic! This time we'll actually get our act together and record something.

 

[Poker Face]

Can't wait for Vidoc. Hope it's MP related.

i want one too, but it's probably going to be more campaign ;_;

Sadly, true.

You just reminded me if the Halo 3 1vs1 playlist with the bolded. Would anyone of you like to see it's comeback? I know it was a huge fail in Halo 3, but with a propper system it could work in Halo 4.

Fuck yes!

Hyper, is HaloOrbit.de legit? Good site?

 

[Gui_PT]

I bet it's a Vidoc about Grifball

 

[RebornYeti]

Can't wait for Vidoc. Hope it's MP related.

I assume it's just the second part of the first one? So probably not MP.

I don't think we'll ever see a Head to Head playlist come back. Maps need to be pretty heavily reworked to prevent people from turtling up, and 1v1 just brings out the worst cheaters. Even then, not enough people are really interested in it, going by the performance of the last two 1v1 lists.

You always know just what to say ‹3 haha

 

[CyReN]

If it's part 2, I would think it's MP unless they are going all out with SP again.

*crosses fingers for ranks*

 

[Spawnling]

I hope it's the ranking system. *Fingers crossed*

 

[Aggrotek]

Nope.

I can dream.

 

[nillapuddin]

*crosses fingers for playlist-based league ranks*

me to

 

[Vire]

I'd be perfectly fine with another campaign ViDoc as long as they don't use the word "humanity" again.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Halo 4 LE Pre-ordered.
Best be worth the €95 343.

If it's part 2, I would think it's MP unless they are going all out with SP again.

*crosses fingers for ranks*

Part 2 of "A Hero Rises" doesn't sound MP heavy.
Unless the hero...is you!

 

[Pop]

I hope it's the ranking system. *Fingers crossed*

We dreaming big today.

 

[Conor 419]

We were told we'd see large scale combat quite soon right?

Yeah, it's campaign.

 

[Blissful]

If it's part 2, I would think it's MP unless they are going all out with SP again.

*crosses fingers for ranks*

I would camp outside Best Buy right now if they announce a Skill-based ranking system

 

[Talents]

I hope it's the ranking system. *Fingers crossed*

If it's part 2, I would think it's MP unless they are going all out with SP again.

*crosses fingers for ranks*

Stop getting my hopes up!!!

If it was skill based ranks, I would partly forgive 343 for adding stuff like armour abilities and the like.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Didn't someone have to do that already? That guy who liked Invasion?

I HAVE NO REGRETS


:'(

 

[DeadNames]

We were told we'd see large scale combat quite soon right?

Yeah, it's campaign.

I thought that referred to something that was already released, and Frankie was just confused...

 

[squidhands]

Unless the hero...is you!

it's always been you, you just didn't know it 'til
343 took over.

 

[senador]

If its multiplayer related, a hero will arise

Spoiler

You dirty man...

 

[Ryaaan14]

It's going to be a basic MP video. Take that shit to the bizzank. Carnage Carnivale time.

If it's not, TheOddOne told me to say that.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Secretly I never wanted to drop the flag.

 

[YourExWife]

Guys. My day is almost over, new ViDoc imminent, I'm caught up on a bunch of crap at work, and I have awesome leftovers waiting when I get home in about 30 minutes...

 

[Karl2177]

Yep. All Gamestops have the Halo 4 LE game sold out. Fuck me for being an educated consumer.

 

[Gray Man]

Yep. All Gamestops have the Halo 4 LE game sold out. Fuck me for being an educated consumer.

Wait, so is it too late to get the Limited Edition?

 

[The Xtortionist]

Wait, so is it too late to get the Limited Edition?

Looks like Amazon still has some.

 

[Gray Man]

Looks like Amazon still has some.

Amazon it is then, many thanks.

 

[Pop]

Amazon it is then, many thanks.

Best Buy or Walmart also

I want my game at midnight.

 

[higherARC05]

It is fate. No class on tuesday so Im all set for midnight lauch and marathon of pure sex.....I mean HALO 4.

 

[Gui_PT]

You always know just what to say ‹3 haha

Well then how come we're not dating anymore?

 

[DeadNames]

Lucky son of a gun. I can't get it at midnight. Classes end early on the 8th early for me, so I guess that counts.

 

[CyReN]

We dreaming big today.

you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.

 

[BigShow36]

Yep. All Gamestops have the Halo 4 LE game sold out. Fuck me for being an educated consumer.

Buying the LE is directly at odds with your last few words.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Wonder if this will actually be the first time a Halo LE is *gasp* limited.

 

[m23]

Yep. All Gamestops have the Halo 4 LE game sold out. Fuck me for being an educated consumer.

Yeah, same here in Toronto. I've got mine pre-ordered but one of my friends tried last week and they're sold out.


New vidoc needs to be multiplayer, I don't want to see more campaign, we saw quite a bit in the last one. Save some for the game.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Considering that the LE seems to actually run out of stock, I purchased it. If there's a lack of information/ the stuff in the LE turns out to be bad... I can always cancel and go for the standard edition, but at least I have it there in case it turns out to be good.

Now please 343, put out information on what it actually includes. Or just general information on the different purchasing packages would be nice. I mean, I hear that its cheaper to just get the standard edition and the War Games pass separately? When will we know this stuff? I will probably downgrade to a standard edition before the game comes out, but would really rather keep the LE if the content is good enough to justify it, not going to buy it blindly though.

 

[ZalinKrow]

Nanomachines?

 

[DopeyFish]

Mwahaha

I preordered LE on amazon

Will probably just walk in at midnight at EBgames to pick up a copy to play all night...

(I have always purchased two copies of every halo game...)

 

[malfcn]

Wonder if this will actually be the first time a Halo LE is *gasp* limited.

Probably not.

 

[TCKaos]

Well it looks like I have to buy the standard edition.

That's kinda' fucked up. I wanted to shell out the money for the Limited Edition, but I'm guessing that's what leads to second and third prints of those Limited Editions, and Legendary Editions still being on store shelves (which I'm still sour about).

Oh well, I was going to get Mark VI on day one anyway, so it's not like I would even have used the Recruit armor.

 

[Tawpgun]

Gamestops EVERYWHERE have them sold out?

 

[SHIFTYkiwi]

Just pre-ordered my Limited Edition from Mighty Ape. Quite excited now, its the first limited edition game Ive ever brought and my first pre-order.

 

[Karl2177]

Buying the LE is directly at odds with your last few words.

So I can't buy a luxury item and know what's in it?

Edit: how does preordering on amazon work? Do I have to pay it all now or by the time it comes out?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Gamestops EVERYWHERE have them sold out?

It's not even available on the site, so you'd have to get pretty lucky to find it at a store, I suspect.

If you want it at midnight, Best Buy and Walmart still have them online, so that would be a good bet.
