Found it, watched it (a chunk of it) It's legitimate.

It's fucking crazy that this shit gets leaked so early.

Go dark people, flood gates will open soon.

 

[Ohwiseone]

This is depressing that it is legit.

 

[Sn1PeR]

Didn't even notice.

Also, some idiots are claiming that their PC has been "FBI locked" and they have to pay a $200 fine to get access to their PC...... LMFAO! Be careful, the "FBI" is watching these files carefully.

Sounds like the ransomware "SOPA virus"

[onken]

iBuzz7S don't do this.


Seriously do not do this.

Don't be so pathetic, they're well labeled and you don't have to click them.

 

[specialguy]

so are there any campaign vids anybody can link for me to watch? of like an early level or two?

 

[iBuzz7S]

He wasn't being pathetic. I had the image(s) embedded and it was visible to anyone scrolling down up/down the page. After someone else commented about spoilers, I removed the images and left the links instead.

A few have been uploaded, public and private. Just a matter of searching.

Yeah, I've seen this MoneyPak thing several times. It's pretty tough to remove completely and I find it's faster to do a total reformat.

Oh ok, my bad.

 

[specialguy]

Oh frack,. I just found a livestream of the campaign being played lol. 700 viewers.

So yeah leak is def legit campaign and all.

 

[iBuzz7S]

Oh ok, my bad.

It's all good. Just didn't want the guy looking like an a-hole after I made the edit.

If anyone wants videos, search 'Halo 4' on YouTube and filter by upload date. I just watched the beginning of the first mission.

 

[volturnus]

Has a HALO game ever been leaked to mainstream P2P this early before release before?

Yes, every Halo since 2 was leaked/sold a month before release.

 

[specialguy]

I dont recall Reach being leaked that early....could be wrong. Really the only one I remember being incredibly early was obviously 2, and now this is pretty early almost a month. But I dont say I really keep careful track.

Leaks are inevitable, especially when it comes to Halo, but I wish this had happened 1-2 weeks later, like the 20th or 27th. then it wouldn't have been too bad as there would be not long to have to "go dark" for.

Joystiq posted an article about Halo Reach leaking on August 20th and Reach came out September 14th. Not a month, but still...

 

[iBuzz7S]

Both discs are leaked. People are actually dumb enough to go online and try playing team slayer, then saying "YOLO" as if they dodged a bullet and made off with a million dollars.

Stupid people are stupid, what can I say.

 

[Owensboro]

The comments on the YouTube videos are pretty great at the moment. There are a lot of people calling the posters assholes for leaking and posting them. I find it funny they still watched the video.

 

[Baconsammy]

One of the pirates claims he got it from a local video game store, because "they sell everything once they receive it." I have a hard time believing Microsoft has already shipped the game to stores.

I don't. The bookstore I used to work for had deathly hallows in 6 weeks before street date.

 

[adamsapple]

So does SP span both discs ? or 1 for SP 1 for MP ?

 

[Treythalomew]

My mistake

 

[Timan]

If anyone is interested there is campaign livestreaming going on here.

I couldn't resist clicking that,

God the game looks amazing, sounds amazing, can't wait... k turned it off after 10 seconds.
HYPE HYPE HYPE.

You shouldn't be surprised. usually how it works.

Wouldn't be surprised if the bigger retailers like best buy and gamestop already have their stock in their stock rooms.

I konw for a fact that best buy get's their stuff a week or two or more in advance depending on when the game goes gold.

I don't care about Halo so I'll watch all these spoiler videos just to take a peek at technology they use.

I'm not gonna watch them as I'm looking forward to buying the game lol.

How are the visuals overall ?

 

[Desty]

Wow, the cinematics are great. So much attention to the eyes. 343 hit it out of the park. It is crazy that this stuff is leaking soo early, but I will buy it anyway.

I worked at gamecrazy when halo 2 came out and we got it 3 weeks before it come out.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

watched a couple of clips....game looks fantastic.

def won't watch anymore so it's a surprise lol.

So much wrong with that article. Can't even comment there, so I will post it here instead.

So much wrong with this article.

"Check out screenshots from the Gamer that stole Halo 4." - what evidence is there to support this outrageous claim? Other than him playing Halo 4 online, there is none. For all you know, a game store employee stole a copy and put it on the shelf, where this person bought it from. Does it make him a thief because he was completely unaware?

Let's not forget Microsoft reversing bans in the past for being wrong. But let's point and laugh at Microsoft for once again, having their flagship, baby, leader of Xbox, out in the wild with minimal security. Then again, you can expect the worst from cheap labour.

 

[secretanchitman]

absolutely legit. personally, i think its awesome that it got leaked really early.

i would have watched more, but this guy (imo) sucks so much and dies way too often. supposedly he is playing on easy mode as well? who knows.

Indeed on easy, he is just impatient.

The graphics are insane, music average, some sandboxes should play absolutely great in legendary.

I wasn't all that impressed with Halo 3's graphics or even Reach but I am now impressed by Halo 4's visuals.

 

[J10]

Zero situational awareness. Painful to watch somebody play this bad on easy.

Zero situational awareness. Painful to watch somebody play this bad on easy.

Stream pirates usually are pretty terrible at games. I remember watching an early stream of BLOPS and the guy couldn't figure out where to go when he had a waypoint that told him where to go.

 

[J10]

True, but the shitty field of view and helmet outlines don't help.

No. Having radar contacts at three o'clock and enemy fire flying by on screen from your right, yet you're still looking at twelve. There's no excuse for that.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

can't wait to hear this game in full surround sound.

 

[Phat Michael]

wow. this game looks and sounds incredible. Amazing what they were able to do with the hardware..

 

[Lakitu]

So is he towards the end of the game? If so, I may not watch it. I just wanted to see some general gameplay stuff in campaign. I just want to know if there are big levels like The Ark / The Covenant because nothing I've seen so far indicates so.

He's not that bad. Hes not that great either but what do you expect its a brand new game and probably his first time playing it?

 

[Zaventem]

Holy fuck just saw the video.Thought you guys were exaggerating about the graphics.It looks fucking amazing!

 

[BLAZER]

Visually this is the greatest halo of all time.

The environments are some of the best ever in video games history.

 

[Kibbles]

Those videos sound better and look smoother than recent videos I've seen, looks and sounds amazing.
Whoever recorded those did it right.
