Halo 4 and Halo: Anniversary Edition Thread

I hope this whole "Kinect support" thing is just an extra and not something that makes the game suck for people who don't want Kinect.

[Grayshot954]

Microsoft won't do it with Halo rest assurd. Maybe as an extra like what they are doing with Mass Effect 3 (Voice Commands) but thats it. Lets be honest, Halo and Gears are Microsoft's two biggest money makers and adding total kinect support might screw the games up so I would not worry. The company is not that stupid... I mean... Well?... Okay fine, close but not close enough.

I think it's just an extra feature. I'm not much a fan of motion controls. I like to sit down, eat Doritos, drink soda, and push buttons on a greasy controller rather than move around.

It is most likely a forerunner dyson sphere/planet. Forerunners could create entire worlds so my guess is that this is either their homeworld or possibly what the forerunners secretely survived in. I can't say for sure but watching it explode at the end of the game should look awesome.

It is a Forerunner shield world or we would like to call it...a Forerunner Planet. Cause when we saw the cut scenes of both ending of Halo 3 and the 1 min trailer on Halo 4, it is a Forerunner Planet. I bet in this game we get to see what the Forerunners actually look like unlike what we're reading on in the Forerunner Saga or ones that we have seen from Halo Legends. Plus lets not forget the Covenant the Loyalists are still out there and looking for revenge against the humans and the Seperatists. I wonder though, if Halo 4 will be like Halo 2. One Elite story line and the other Master Chief's. Plus how is Chief gonna get home? The ship did give out a distress signal like Cortana said. If the Covenant Seperatists anywhere picked it up I'm sure they will follow it cause Arbiter did say and believed that Chief is still alive he knows Chief is too strong to die. Plus the Elites were gonna go back home to their homeworld what if they picked up the distress signal and moved to this location where Chief is? We could have two stories here like in Halo 2. That's my theory but a good one

McFarlane Toys plans to release toys of the Halo CE later this year.

I like Mcfarlne Toys do a good job on Halo figures and I plan to pick them up. I even own the special Spawn edition figure that they where given out.

Actually the Halo 1 Master Chief is based off of his In-game aperance in the first game, not Anniversary.

Also Marines on New Firefight Map and Timberland!

[Gyaos]

Any news of The Flood possibly appearing on the unnamed Firefight map?

[Hellblaze]

New Skulls confirmed! Halo 4 panel tomorrow!

BOOM! Skull x2 the bang!
Malfunction Skull
Grunt Funeral (Preorder CE only!)
Grunt BDay Party (Halo isn't without this skull. Put both Grunt skulls and BOOM! together and get x3 the fun!)


To answer your question Gyaos....YES! Flood will appear in Firefight but! as enemy option only. If you're Covenant or Spartan your option like in Reach for enemies can be Flood. Flood will be Firefight enemy option only but it's unclear if there will be a Firefight game that will have Flood as a enemy we'll see for now it's Firefight enemy option only.


Hotrod! Not only those maps also: Prisoner, Hang 'em High, Damnation, and Beaver Creek. Firefight Map: 04 only confirmed.


Also everyone....SKULL HUNTING IS BACK!! Just like in Halo 3 you hunt the skulls in each campaign down!

Easter egg in Damnation confirmed by Halo Wikia: "One example of added scenery on the map is a dead grunt. This grunt falls from one of the waterfalls every 20 seconds or so"

[Grayshot954]

Also, Hang em High remake and the Halo 2 map Headlong (Massive construction site in Mombasa) have been confirmed. So thats all the maps 6 multiplayer, 1 firefight. By the way, where did you find out that the flood will be versable in firefight.

=DDD That just made my day

[Grayshot954]

I dont think the flood is in Firefight. I can't find any articles or videos about it and the big suprise was ODST's were going to be in Firefight as allies.

[Hellblaze]

Indeed it has I am 100% positive Flood is in Halo CEA. I mean come on. It's the anniversary in Halo we need Flood!

I have heard that Flood is confirmed in Firefight but only as Enemy option in the Firefight custom game menu. We haven't seen the video yet cause 343 wants to keep it a surprise they have kept alot of goodies for us to surprise us.


I forgot to mention people....THE BETA FOR THIS IS IN EARLY OCT! 2 months until this beta is out!

[Gyaos]

I hope they have the flood transfomration like in Halo 3. Imagine that with updated graphics O.e

Open beta or?

Not sure they said the beta will be out in early Oct for players to play. I think it'll be like ODST when we played the beta for Reach before it came out. They'll give us more details on the beta in Sept. Which is...like right now >>

Umm probably not since they will stick with the CE version the transformation stuff didn't get very detailed until like Halo 3. We won't see Halo 3 Flood in CE like the Stalker or Tank forms. I'm guessing though the Flood will be very detailed like they did in Halo 3 since they looked scary in there. We're not sure but we'll find out when we get the game. As for the beta we may see what they did the same for ODST for Reach Beta when that came out. We may get to get into some maps already shown and one Firefight possibly. Just keep your eyes peeled on Waypoint on your 360 they'll give us more details
