This HAS to be real. Holy shit.

 

[Tashi]

Get rid of that scan. Fake or not.

Edit: k nevermind

 

[bobs...onGaf]

someone just posted this about game informer info with proof on page two.

http://halo.xbox.com/Forums/yaf_postst71572_So-I-just-Read-the-New-Game-Informer.aspx

waiting to make sure this isn't super ultra troll, and if it's true im probably going to cancel my pre-order :/

I want to read it myself, his write up was slightly negative and so im wary of reading too far into his opinions. If thats accurate I dont think I will bother too much with the multiplayer, its a Halo game though so I will certainly still get it day one but I would get it day one even if I knew it was only to do one run through of the campaign lol.

 

[Homeboyd]

Holy shit. No Firefight?

Ghaleon...

GHALEON!

 

[Kuroyume]

Oh, I was just saying that so you don't remove the info too.

Proof:

removed, on waypoint

 

[Fracas]

Just pulled out a Game Informer to compare paper size. It matches up.
Although while the mag may be real, I don't want to believe the info until I see high-quality pics of the magazine text.

 

[thezerofire]

hoping it's fake

 

[Overdoziz]

Sounds fake. Spartan Ops? Spartan Points? No respawn time? Randomly spawning weapons?

No way that's real.

 

[Poker Face]

hoping it's fake

just saw a HQ scan. if this is faked, its the best fake i have ever seen.

 

[Der Flatulator]

I have reason to believe it is legit.

 

[Karl2177]

As I was reading that my face went from happy to disappointed. Lack of Firefight, progression system for AAs, return of Camo AA, weapon drops, and more are bad. I want classic Halo option out of the box. I don't want to create a shitty replacement gametype to attempt it.

 

[senador]

Meh, even if it is real it's too early to react to really. Have to wait and see videos and more info from 343.

 

[Danny 117]

I can honestly say that most of that stuff sounded terrible and this franchise is going in the complete opposite direction I had hoped.
Forerunner Vision? Really?

Please don't be true.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Sounds fake. Spartan Ops? Spartan Points? No respawn time? Randomly spawning weapons?

No way that's real.

I really wanna see your face right now.

 

[Tashi]

I will wait until we get FULL and confirmed details until I say anything.

 

[Arnie]

Holy shit, that's close to a nightmare interpretation of Halo 4 from my own perspective, as well as those who wish to play the game competitively.

If that's real then I can't conceivably get excited for Halo 4. Seriously.

I will wait until we get FULL and confirmed details until I say anything.

Just admit it, it sounds bad.

 

[RebornYeti]

Hmm.. I kinda hope this is fake.

 

[Kuroyume]

If that no firefight news is true...

So good

 

[Homeboyd]

Frankie...

Save us?

:/

 

[Fracas]

Immediately after you die, by tapping the X button you are sent back into the match. Now let's contemplate why this might be bad. Let's say Halo spawns are... not so great. A skilled player out BRs/DMRs/whatevers a unskilled player. Now that unskilled player can immediately respawn and find you before your shields even regenerate! I understand 343 is trying to speed up the game, but they must understand the consequences of instant spawns.

This is the only thing that sounds trollish to me.

If this is real....it may just be the guy's wording, but it sounds horrible.

 

[Poker Face]

JUST KIDDING

but seriously everything ive seen is REALLY convincing

 

[Overdoziz]

I really wanna see your face right now.

Use your Forerunner Vision.

No More Weapon Camping

One the skills that separated veteran players from inexperienced players was the ability to time power weapons' spawns. In Halo 4, this will be near impossible. Weapons drop down in drop pods at random locations around the map. Quoted from the article, "This gives the matches other focal points, and it also helps alleviate the advantage longtime players always used to have over newer recruits; the best weapons are not always going to be found at the same spawn locations." Unless there is a distinguishable skill gap between players, I most definitely do not like this idea.

No More Respawn Delay

[RebornYeti]

I can give you the HQ scan if you'd like in a PM.

It seems like an awful fake, but the scan is really convincing

PM'ing scans is also a no-no.

 

[Tashi]

No

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Use your Forerunner Vision.

Hah, now that was good.

 

[Fracas]

ok, all good.

 

[JuanGGZ]

Hope this is not true, that's just horrible. ='(

I like the new Élite look if it's real.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

I've seen some bigger pics, looks legit.

 

[Poker Face]

Edit your post, that's bannable!

I did, thanks for the heads up.

Saw more scans. going to throw up brb.

 

[Kuroyume]

This sounds like the Halo game I would create if I were developing Halo... With the exception of the armor ability stuff.

 

[Fracas]

GUYS STOP QUOTING/POSTING LINKS AND IMAGES. YOU WILL GET BANNED

Seriously

Also, anyone who quoted anyone who talked about sending scans, edit your posts.

 

[TheOddOne]

"You're gonna start off as a recruit, and proceed trough the ranks," said lead multiplayer designer Brad Welch. As you rank up you'll unlock more abilities. Players slowly unlock an array of weapons, armour abilities and modifications for a soldier to bring into battle.

THE FUCK.

Spartan Ops sounds baller as fuck though.

 

[Poker Face]

So about that time I said said Halo Reach: Modern Warfare 4...

 

[GarthVaderUK]

You can apparently customise primary weapon, secondary weapon, grenade type and armour ability for your personal loadout.

 

[kylej]

If no set weapon spawns/timers, and no set respawn times are in the game, I'm done with Halo, because it's not Halo it's just chasing COD money with Spartans instead of dudes. If that summary is true my eyes are gonna fall out of my head.

 

[Kibbles]

The elite looks cool (edit: oh wow just saw a HQ pic, the skin on that thing, damnnn) haven't read the summary yet. Hope there are campaign pics, all these MP shots of Wraparound is all there is.

Halo Infinity was registered by Microsoft a few days ago:http://fusible.com/2012/04/microsof...registers-slew-of-halo-infinity-domain-names/

 

[Arnie]

At least the DMR is now as aesthetically pleasing as it is to shoot. We can take solace in that.

Frank, we (I) need some serious soothing after this. What were you guys thinking?

Join in progress.
Random weapon spawns.
Instant spawning after death.
See through walls.
Armour abilities.

"You're gonna start off as a recruit, and proceed trough the ranks," said lead multiplayer designer Brad Welch. As you rank up you'll unlock more abilities. Players slowly unlock an array of weapons, armour abilities and modifications for a soldier to bring into battle.

Are these tears of laughter or sadness?

 

[Kuroyume]

That's one crazy ass scope on the DMR.

 

[Gabotron ES]

That has to be fake!

No elites in multiplayer means no invasion = what the actual fuck are you thinking 343?

The random spawns thing sounds retarded, c'mon!

Edit: Instant spawn! WTF is this?

 

[Fracas]

Holy shit, I think it's real.

If it's real, I swear it's like 343 took a bucket of everything I never ever wanted in Halo and just poured it on.

Again, if this is real...I may be done with Halo.

 

[Kuroyume]

Join in progress is great. The best new addition to the series yet.

 

[Poker Face]

That's one crazy ass scope on the DMR.

it looks like a modded halo 2 weapon

im not sure whether to laugh or cry.

 

[thezerofire]

I'm not ok with the random weapons, Camo armor ability, or instant respawns. How are you supposed to get an extermination with instant respawns?

 

[TheOddOne]

Are these tears of laughter or sadness?

I dunno man, mixed emotions.

 

[Overdoziz]

And people said I was too negative.

 

[kylej]

And people said I was too negative.

Hey, if one failed attempt at COD money didn't work, why not try it again? I hope we have monks chanting each time we level up ala the COD guitar riff.
