sorry dude but zanzibar already has a Halo 3 remake called Last Resort and they said it is going to be a map never remade before. so either it is a Halo 3 map, or one of the Halo 2 DLC maps. either or i am stoked

then there would be no use for credits? as credits are pretty much xp now and you dont buy armor anymore im pretty sure you earn it. also guys on the armor skin topic. I saw a video showing all of the armor currently available, and armor skins are a different piece of armor altogether. like the recruit with pulse skin is a different helmet called "recruit Pulse" (so i am assuming that armor skins are just the pre-order only bonuses and wont be a very common thing). But each armor set has its own skin pattern on it anyway so it wont make much of a difference (just alternative patterns for the armor you have the skin for).

there might be more weapon and armor skins, i'm not sure there will be more armor permutations. plus thanks to the Limited Edition I get all the DLC for free. so whatever we get in the DLC we get for free

They have stated there are to be no flood in Halo 4.

Sprint my friend.. sprint will make it all better

All good maybe cortana short circuits it or something? seeing as blowing up a star (artificial or not) would created a massive ex/implosion that would destroy requiem outright?

True. like i said i'm just speculating, i dont know maybe not all of the spartan ops missions are on requiem? just giving my take on the events of the mission

I personally love the look of the new Battle Rifle in Halo 4 and since Halo 2 that was my favorite weapon is probably the DMR, in Halo 4 I will probably use the DMR the most just because I loved it in reach and you can't miss half a shot like you can the BR, and it will be a longer distance kind of weapon due to the Br's 2x scope and the DMR's 3x optics

dude sand trap was amazing. i mean wouldn't you love to just stuff around on the Elephants again? to disregard the 10 second kill boundary and outrun mines like a badass? to just relive the great times had and reimage that dull sandy pit and turn it into something great. I mean with all that we will have at our disposal with remastered forge, that dank wasteland can be turned into anything! just make it something great dude. imagine sandtrap riddled with forerunner constructs and turned into the greatest infection/God map the Halo series has ever known!

I believe it is the fact that in Halo 4 you are on a shield world called requiem. The Dyson Sphere within a Shield World is lit by what can only be described as practically an artificial star. i believe that master chief being the destructive ******* he is will detonate the artificial star, sending the Dyson sphere into perpetual darkness hence the naming of the level 'midnight' and that is probably the EMP you are seeing.

It does look a bit weird with the horn. but the rest of the armor looks pretty cool. I like the idea that console buyers get different stuff to the Limited Edition buyers so that on day one we have a little bit of variety between Limited Edition buyers, and I bet there will be cool armor that we haven't even seen yet and we will all discard our Limited Edition garb for some cool as stuff. anyone know if they have released (or leaked) any of the new armor permutations?

yeah i was wondering about Promethean vehicles, but seeing as some Prometheans can utilize slipspace technology to teleport around the place so they might not need vehicles but I cant wait to see what the new vehicles are none the less man

I like the recruit armor more than the Fotus, just in my preference. the recruit armor looks more like armor that the Spartan's from other games would wear. looking forward to reading the description of the fotus armor though, just to see the practicality for the 'horn' like appendage coming from the Spartan's head. actually on second thought what do you guys think as well? i reckon it will be funny to see all of your responses to what the helmet spike is used for other than impalement and catching plasma grenades

Halo 3: ODST and i believe Halo: Reach both each had controllers set for individual sale, also with purchase you should recieve a avatar award kind of deal. (like the falcon avatar prop for Halo: Reach). any idea what it is for Halo 4. that is providing they have one, I'm sure they will but just wondering

Wait are you talking about me or the other guy? i just want to make it clear that I love the idea, and i said before I actually like the idea of armor skins better than the weapon skins, but i dont mind the idea and the beauty of the thing is that if you dont like them you can just keep the plain skin on the weapon and it doesnt matter at all.

Dude thats cool, so are you saying that you can mix and match skins? like a different piece for each shoulder or is it just shoulders in general would have the same one? as well as mixing them you mean like you could use the Web for the chest piece, Forest for the legs ect. and you can mix and match them and all that?

yeah man i see where you are coming from and hopefully you can color the skins how you please or that would be pretty ******* stupid and nobody would use it.. i see the skins as a improved customisable decal like the third option in Halo 3. and despite the individual colours idea it sounds good but in the long run i dont see it working sure people might want to put a pattern on their armor or whatever but in the end most of it would end up looking horrific and you would end up having to change about 6+ different things individually just to view your spartan in a different colour set. I guess thats where the skins come in. so that the player can have the patterns on their character without too much hassle taking players away from the gameplay element of the game to **** around with their characters asthetics for hours on end. I mean people will do that anyway from time to time but in the end it would take too much time for players to make simple things (like a fully blue spartan, then changing your mind and altering it to red you would have to sift through maybe 12 different colour swatches just to see if it looks good) good idea but impractical in the long run. (thats just my opinion obviously, hopefully more people join the discussion and make good points too).

you know dude i thought the same thing when the premise was first shown to me, i thought weapon skins are kind of CODish. and COD is not the first and probably not the last game to have the weapon skin idea, but the weapon skins were pretty ugly (in COD4 they were the worst but hav'nt improved much on that) but the armor skins i found quite intreguing as even when everyone has every armor piece and if you happen to run into someone wearing the same armor (not that it matters but still) you may be wearing a different skin.. it just adds that little bit more customization.

Just wondering the speculation you guys have about Halo 4 weapon and Armor skins. Now lets get down to buisiness, Do you guys think that Armor skins will be armor specific (as in you will have to unlock skins for each set of armor) or do you think that once a skin is unlocked it will transfer to all other armor or might even be specific to that set alone. e.g. Forest skin is exclusive to Hazop armor, Web : CIO armor ect. (I know that would be weird with armor customization but I just want to know your thoughts as well as my own) aswell as Weapon Skins do you believe that you will have to unlock skins per weapon and some skins will be weapon specific aswell? or do you think that once a skin is unlocked it will be unlocked for all starting weapons and or all weapons have same skins but must be unlocked individually? I would like to know all your thoughts on the subject. (That is provided anyone looks at it or takes the time to comment but if you do I would like to know your opinions on the matter).

that looks really cool. In Australia the pre-order bonuses from EB Games are The Halo 4: Ghost Avatar prop, Mjolnir Multiplayer emblem, the Arctic Battle Rifle skin and the Forest Armor skin. as seen here : https://content.ebgames.com.au/website/images/packshots/bonus_halo4_dlc_stage2_large.jpg cant wait to pick it up along with the Limited Edition Halo 4. just wondering what shops there are in the UK the US and other places, and what the bonuses are there.

It was stated in Halo glasslands aswell. that the Elites are on the brink of civil war and that some Elites beleive the Arbiter is wrong and still embrace the covenant faith (also stating distaste towards a truce with the Humans viewing them as an inferior race despite recent revelations in the Halo universe) so maybe they are not all covenant out of reach from the rest of covenant civilisation. although Requiem is a sheild world and i think sheild words are placed out of our galaxy as so not to be affected by Halo rings. at the moment i think it is just speculation at this point. i'm still really glad the Elites are still fightable. The brute lead covenant force of the Halo 3 - ODST era just didnt feel right. I love Elites but killing them is so much more satisfying and challenging than shooting three clips into a bullet sponge that drops its weapon when you shoot his armor. (and just saying the brute power armor shouldn't have just explded when depleated i would rather it that wou could shoot pieces off such as helmets, shoulder pauldrons ect depending on where you shots hit when their sheilds are down) cant wait for this game i'm pumped

I agree I will play the campaign first and then i will try spartan ops, but i am hoping that 343 holds up on their promise to bring up a new chapter every week and not just reuse the same maps (or at least change the enimies/objectives on the same maybe 4 weeks worth of maps) than just using the same ones repeatedly like the Halo: Reach challenges. looking foreward to Halo 4 in general.

I hope it is sandtrap, I know I and surely alot of other players would love to beable to muck about with the Eliphants and recreate out favorite variants of that particular map. plus i would love to see the guardians in Halo 4 (outrunning sandtraps mines on a mongoose while being chased by a lunitic with a Grav Hammer is one of my fondest memories of Halo 3) Sandtrap would be a sweet as addition to Halo 4

Despite the rumor I hope they do end up producing a Halo 2 anniversary as Halo numero dos was by far one of my personal favorites. as for the authentic Halo 2 multiplayer issue i am not too bothered as i am looking forward to seeing how Halo 4's seemingly vast improvements on the system pans out. (Good thread by the way man) first thing i noticed on this site
