just for infection in multiplayer (which is now called flood)
tell us more about this so called "Flood" mode...
edit: front page of reddit (last link)

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Those models are purely designed for Flood mode in War Games.
What is your question?
I wouldn't. They are not large enough to cover anything important really.
But maybe it is better the way it is now, people would complain about them if they were in multiplayer.
Hmm. Rebulic Commando had similar things in campaign but not in multiplayer, though of course this can be justfied by the fact the other team wasn't a Clone Commando team but Trandoshans.

So much this. Bioware really made a really amazing multiplayer experience. It does things so right. Even how they get money from it without cutting players off.

Like a nice long Forge vidoc.With it out of the way we get more new stuff then
I would mind.
From the pure design side, I'm not a huge fan of that design element. It doesn't even really make sense - I thought the "visor" wasn't transparent but instead Spartans were looking at a projection (thus no need for full visors in some of the other helmets). Like a Gundam's 360 degree cockpit system.
From a gameplay perspective, I prefer having a full view. I hate how much of the screen is taken up by the gun, too.

I haven't touched ME3 yet, but from what I've heard isn't it essentially a Free to Play model except you have to actually still buy the game? Seemed scummy to me.

The question is if the English voices are included in German, French, Italian retail copies etc. etc.
Is Flood replacing the traditional infection mode?

Or a SpOps BTS, and I hope that there won't be one.
I want to know if they do a multi-language release. I don't want to hear their horrible German localization. For being Microsoft's biggest franchise their localisations have been absolutely horrible. So it is important to know so I can make a decision on which version of the game to get. The German version having the english language tracks on it would be great, because over here the LE is cheaper.

Flood is the new infection mode.
In a perfect world this would be possible, but our game is already pushing the boundaries of disc space.

More info from OXM. Mammoth and Mantis new vehicles.
EDIT: Hadn't realized the Mantis was the name of the Mech. Derp, my bad. #longdayatwork

Buying the game is scummy?
I think you need an online pass but there has been loads of free DLC. As a console gamer, this was very awesome.
Well then I guess I pay the 10 extra and get my LE from the UK. And I have not heard Halo 4s localization but if it is done by the same guys as the previous games then no thank you.
Steitzer lines comment.
So the old Infection gametype is gone?
If so, how customizable is the new one? You could do some crazy stuff with the Infection gametype for minigames and it'd be really lame if that was no longer possible.

I think he's implying that it is the 'new' mode but doesn't replace the old one (except probably in matchmaking?)
I hope this is something, that will change with the next gen. If not, companies should release the original voices as download, like BioWare did with ME3.
Same here. I bought 2 versions of Halo 4, because of this. 1 is the german Limited Edition and the other is the UK Standard Edition.
The retailer is giving out games 3-4 days early, so I will probably get my copy on the 3rd.

Wouldn't an increased FOV be better across the board? Why would you give it to just. Zombies?
An increased FOV would be nice for slayer aswell I would assume.

This is actually one of my concerns. Infection has played host to a lot of custom gametypes in the past. If flood completely replaces infection then this could hamper the possibilities with the gametype. That is if you can't switch a toggle that turns off the infection model. If you can then nevermind. A lot of custom gametypes using Infection as a base actually change the weapons you use and from the looks of the new modes I'm making the assumption that giving them weapons isn't really a possibility. As someone who's played with a lot of custom game options I hope that there is a toggle for "Infected Player Model", with Flood disabling certain options like weapons. I'm also curious as to if you can give armor abilities to these new Flood models, cuz I'm sure having infected players with something like Hardlight Shield is not far from the imagination.
Is it possible to make something like Mass Effect 3, which gave us the original audio version in a DLC ?
I think it would be much appreciated !
The infected arm looks like an analogue to the sword.
I've been wondering... Where the hell does Chief pull out the knife from?
Edit: And how can chief use armor abilities? Can he? Is it because of the armor change? WHERE DID HE GET THE KNIFE FROM?!11
love this pic

I think this comparison has been made several times, and when I see the mech in the game, this is what I'll be thinking about.
Didn't one of the lead artists on Halo 4 come from the Metal Gear series?

I didn't say that. :V I mean the weapon booster packs that you can pay money for or grind. Though the mode of play as a whole is unknown to me so I have no context.
Magic.
No, but Ryan Payton used to be one of the leads on H4, and was also on the MGS4 team (my recollection is that he was like Kojima's "western advisor," helping out with modernizing controls for a western audience, etc.).
It does have a bit of Gecko to it, but that seems superficial - Geckos have sinuous legs, for example.
I can see why people see MGS here, but I'm seeing a lot more of stuff like this and this.
But all of these are inspired by the idea of a "bipedal tank" so there's going to be a ton of similarities.
I would love an increased FOV, but of course that wont happen.

Earlier today 343 revealed the Flood will return in Halo 4, and showed off two new vehicles.
So the two new vehicles really are the Mammoth and the Mech? No hope for transforming Promethean vehicles? If so, at least that removes any disappointment once the game comes out..
To fight other vehicles, especially air ones.

I hope that's the case. I wonder if 10 players is just for MM or the hard number that the gametype will support (even in customs).
I understand done of the sandbox appeal, but why would guys who can teleport need vehicles?
OK I thought I read somewhere that someone on the team worked with Kojima. The mech as a whole, I have no issues with the way it looks, I just wanna see how it plays.
Which retailer are you talking about? If you want send me the name per pm
So no other new vehicles? bummer

Does anyone else find it suspicious that they are dropping info on the KJ-60fps at the SAME TIME that Kylej is banned? Clever girl 343. Clever girl.

I'll be disappointed if the mech and mammoth are the only new vehicles. Especially since the mech is probably limited to campaign, and unless the remake is sandtrap (pls no) then the mammoth is bound to campaign as well.

do i want to know?
