Re: Halo 4
It appears that Mark VI is also included on the Halo 4 armory.
At PAX, a new weapon was found, called the Incinerator, and is the Promethean heavy weapon. And talking about heavy weapons, you can see the Fuel Rod gun at 3:00 in "A Hero Awakens".

Re: Halo 4
Thanks for the link Fusion. It's looking pretty interesting. Sadly I don't have a 360, so I won't get to play it.
I've always liked the relationship between Chief and Cortana, so it's good they're expanding and continuing that.

-- Apparently, all helmets have been revealed at PAX and were usable during gameplay, except for the Specialization armors. This means there are no more helmets comming, and anyways, there are a lot.
-- Every kind of helmet has it's own variants, wich pushes farther the armor variations.
-- At least 1 more promethean weapon has to be revealed. It can be seen on the E3 demo that the Battlewagon that strikes Master Chief is carring a short barreled weapon, possibly a counter part to the Battle Rifle.

Re: Halo 4
You are right. And anyways, being most of 343 RvB fans, i dont think they will want to ruin Caboose. I hope they include Mark V as it is the oldest helmet.
EDIT:
Most of combat options shown here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1rdfWjD ... r_embedded
EDIT 2:
Seen at the panel:
Appears to be a new kind of promethean. Maybe the equal to the hunters.
EDIT 3
Sorry for double, but it wouldn't be noticed:
Good:
Many promethean variants revealed.
Blue prometheans, i want to know why they are blue.
Bad:
Dead guy at the beginning wears a helmet that looks very similar to CELL.
Details:
Prometheans capable of assassinating emenies.
Fuel Rod Gun finally confirmed.
04:35 Promethean with plasma pistol.
Player able to assassinate Watchers and Crawlers.
Watchers able to bring back Knights to life.
Prometheans are accurate enough to knock down a Ghost pilot.
Sentinels are back. Unconfirmed if are enemies. Possible return of Sentinel beam.

Re: Halo 4
For it to be right, the Ur-Didact just took humans and made them slaves. I think your theory can be true, since the prometheans have what seems to be human skulls.
So the Ur-Didact could've created prometheans based on a combination between humans and cybernetics.
Oh, they also have arms...

Re: Halo 4
If you havent noticed, Neil has taken hints from the entire Halo OST for Halo 4, even from Halo Wars. There is a song with a piano played deep in the background, that sounds exactly like Halo Wars, but it is not Belly of the Beast.

Yeah, needless to say I'm now re-excited about the game. I cancelled my preorder though. That money is going toward a new HDTV. I'll pick up Halo 4 for Christmas.

French magazine scans leaked early.
- Infection has players actually becoming Flood-infected Spartans
- Functions like you think it would, right arms become the elongated appendage that functions like a sword.

Re: Halo 4
Off-topic: Copy the content of your old post, delete your old post, and then make your new post containing the content of your old post pasted over and whatever new information you want to include. If I can recall, you used to do this a lot back in the day (minus posting the actual new information part). But since you're posting new information now, you're very much capable of doing these mergings yourself without getting in trouble.Labj wrote:The point was merging it like last time...

Right... At least you just told me how to properly do that, thanks.
Halo 4 character renders:
http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Det ... geNumber=2
Halo 4 weapons and vehicle renders:
http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Det ... geNumber=1
-Details
2 Pelican variants.
Shade returning
Gauss and rocket hogs returning
Hunters shown.
EDIT:
New campaign vehicle called Mantis (formerly refered as the mech or the Cyclops)
New gametype called Flood. This gametype is the new itteration of Infection, with 2 players playing as flood combat forms against other 10 players.
New gametype called Dominion. This is about capturing bases, and eventually the bases defend themselves.

Re: Halo 4
Thumbs up on both pics. I cancelled my preorder (but only to buy a new HDTV) but I'm soo excited to play this around Christmas time.
**EDIT**
Have they revealed whether the main campaign will be co-op? If not I'll be a little peeved.

Re: Halo 4
4-player co-op, but there aren't any other characters like in Halo 3 with the Arbiter, blue guy, and red guy. You will just play as another chief.
Edit:
New map revealed from a press event: Ragnarok. It's a remake of Valhalla.
Not sure how I feel about that. I mean, there's no more forcing us to use AR starts, but the DMR on Valhalla? It's going to be a bloodbath.
Let's just hope 343 has enough sense to keep it out of 4v4 Slayer and if they do put it in there, have enough sense to not have the Banshee on it. Seriously, the Banshee is in Team Slayer but not Social Slayer in Halo 3 right now. Makes absolutely no sense, but it's probably just an oversight from when they had someone with no experience running playlists running them and when they finally had someone else clean them up before Reach.

Re: Halo 4
You know what the Halo series needs (all games)? The ability to play as your custom character in the campaign after you've completed it once. That way we don't have clones running around or fights about who gets to be Chief.
