Personally, I would love to see dual wielding return to Halo 5. I thought it was an awesome addition in Halo 2 and I thought it was a well implemented feature in Halo 3.

Every time I start Halo 4, my armor sets and weapon loadouts are always reset to the default settings. The only fix I know of is going back to the dashboard and then restarting Halo 4. Is this a widespread issue or isolated? Is 343i aware of this?

If you do indeed love America, DON'T VOTE! If you know anything about the American election process, and I assume you don't if you're voting, you'd know that the popular vote, aka the individual votes of every citizen, doesn't count at all. The Electoral College votes are what matter. Why is this important? Because the Electoral College is SUPPOSED to represent each of their respective states. Here's the problem. Are they more likely to support their constituents that pay them approx. $70,000 a year, or a private interest that can offer them that in a day? The electoral process in America is beyond a joke. It is a festering wound. If you care at all about the future of America, get these old men out of congress and the senate and get some new blood that's independent instead of either Republican or Democrat. Then abolish the Electoral College and pass a law that requires everyone serving in public office to disclose their personal financial information so we can always follow the money. Do this with LOCAL elections, NOT national! Local elections are something that YOU can decide. Do yourself a favor. If you're American, play Halo 4 on Nov. 6. DON'T VOTE! If you do, you are disrespecting everyone who has fought and died for the Ideals of America. Ideals that unfortunately are long dead. That is all. Thank you.

The Ouya, pronounced OOOYEAH, is an upcoming, easily affordable game console that runs on an open source OS based on the Android 4.0 OS. It is currently priced at $99 US Dollars and is intended to be released in Spring 2013. You can pre-order now at their official site HERE. Here's what it looks like, with the controller. The creators of Ouya have stated that it is their intention that Ouya be a cheap and easy alternative for indie developers and other smaller developers that want to make games for a console with having to pay a ridiculous fee for the SDK or license. The Ouya is intended to be completely hackable and moddable. That goes for the software AND hardware. Here's the tech specs for the Ouya. Keep in mind that you CAN upgrade these specs on your own: - Nvidia Tegra 3 - Quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU - Nvidia GeForce ULP GPU at 520Mhz - 1 GB RAM - 8 GB Internal Flash storage - HDMI support up to 1080p - Built in ethernet and Wifi 802.11 b/g/n - Bluetooth LE 4.0 - A single USB 2.0 port - Wireless controller similar to an XB360 controller with a touch pad For more info, check out these links: Official Kickstarter page: Official Reveal Video: Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouya Official Website: http://www.ouya.tv/

Agreed. Nice footage.

Personally, I loved watching the evolution of dual wielding from Halo 2 to Halo 3 and I want to see it continue.

I disagree. It's already been done, on the original Xbox no less. A game called Driv3r. It wasn't the best vid editing tool, but people took it pretty far.

I would personally love to see some kind of machinima mode in Halo 4. I'd like to see features like selectable camera angles, the option to toggle lowering weapons instead of some stupid button combo, the option to record voice for the vid and at least some basic after effects. For those that don't know, machinima is fancy way of saying making short films or a series by filming in-game footage. For example, Red VS Blue.

Interesting info. I have my theories about Cortana in Halo 4 and this new info adds weight to some of them. Thanks for posting.

Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic concerning Halo 4. I've heard more things I like about Halo 4 than things I don't. However, the things I don't really bug me, such as the rumor that we'll need to unlock weapons for use by using credits or points. It's very COD-like and has no place in Halo. It would be great if 343i talked about this in detail. I'm taking the wait and see approach at the moment. More gameplay info and/or footage from 343i would go a LONG way.

If we have to unlock weapons for use, I will be pissed. EVERY Halo that has come before has enabled us to use EVERY weapon on EVERY map, excluding playlist circumstances. If this is true, as much as I'll get flamed for saying this again, then this is one thing that is undeniably a COD-like move.

It's entirely possible that 343i can manage to fit all the content on one disc. Skyrim is a MASSIVE game with an insane amount of assets (textures, animations and other content) and it fits on one disc clocking in at just under 4 GB.
