Talk:Halo 4

Features 2
Agreeing w/ what Subtank had previously said, I think the new multiplayer map template could be moved to the Infinity (mode) page while we just have a concise list w/ links for the MP maps here. Don't get me wrong, the template looks great but it does look like it will get long, plus we have to take into account DLC/map packs which will make it longer. Moving it to the Infinity article would be a great way to expand that page once more multiplayer maps are revealed. Also I think the plot section at the beginning (not the actual in-game plot) should be moved to the "Development" section since its refering to how the plot was "developed". Just a thought. -- Killamint   KillaEX  19:04, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

Ancient evil
okay for those who have watched the trailers and have noticed the part where an unknown character say "I have long dreamt of this day, Reclaimer." it is obviously not didact as the symbol is clearly not his, unless its his new combined born/didact one of when his personality took over bornstellar's body at the end of cryptum but comment what you think. SPARTAN-225 19:58, 23 June 2012 (EDT)

Also this part in the trivia is incorrect as it is not didacts symbol,

'The Didact's symbol also appears in the Halo 4 Cinematic Trailer, in which the icon is shown overtaking the UNSC Infinity's monitors while a wave of orange light scans throughout the ship. The icon is later seen turning over in the end of the trailer, superimposed by the text "An ancient evil awakens" while an unknown voice is heard saying "I have long dreamt of this day, Reclaimer.' would someone be able to delete this part as the symbol is not his, you can clearly see the difference in each other when you look at didacts halopedia page and with some clear analysis of the symbol in the trailer watch from 0:53 and see that it is different from this as the vertical lines connect to the outer circle in the trailer when didact's one doesn't and plus the symbol is upside down from didact's SPARTAN-225 20:13, 23 June 2012 (EDT)


 * Read this and the very bottom of this. -- Killamint   KillaEX  06:13, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

In this article under the Demonstration videos section, it says that the Prometheans are unveiled to be the "ancient evil" when in fact, Frank O'Connor says here that they haven't revealed what the "ancient evil" is yet. I just thought I would bring that up for accuracy purposes.--Kamikaz 13:35, 25 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Good point. Go ahead and change it. -- Killamint   KillaEX  18:27, 25 June 2012 (EDT)

Exoskeleton in 'Vehicles' section
The vehicles list has two these entries: "Cyclops Mark II" and "UNSC powered exoskeleton". Is that a mistake, or there is a second type? PatrickRus 21:06, 25 June 2012 (EDT)

New Inifinity Slayer Info
They just posted a new Waypoint Bulletin (post independence day) with some new info as well as some new screenshots and a video for Infinity Slayer. I'll try to add some of this info soon unless someone else gets to it first. -- Killamint   KillaEX  15:48, 6 July 2012 (EDT)

Forerunner EMP Grenade
In a new Spartan ops gameplay, a player can be seen throwing a grenade that bursts in an EMP explosion It is used at around 11 minutes in.
 * Its too soon to say the grenade itself is a "Forerunner" grenade. Even if it is, the video is very fuzzy and unclear, pretty much recorded with a cruddy cellphone camera. To put it in better terms, we need an offical/reputable source from youtube before coming to conclusions and adding a new feature. -- Killamint   Comm  19:45, 18 July 2012 (EDT)
 * Actually there's a better video. The one you posted was for "mobile" use so it appears fuzzy. I did see a new grenade thrown @ 11:00 but for now its unknown. Until a reputable source unveils it, its best to wait. Nice find though :). -- Killamint   Comm  09:41, 19 July 2012 (EDT)

Theater Mode
Is Theater Mode returning in Halo 4? I didn't see anything on any articles mentioning it. Ιι  Ηη   Ππ  02:42, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Most likely but it hasn't been confirmed by 343i yet.-- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 16:08, 12 August 2012 (EDT)

Covenant Organization
I was searching the internet for news about the game when I came across several articles that indicate that the new Covenant organisation is known as the "Storm", which is consistent with the new "Storm" variants and weapons. Should we add this to the page, or wait until more information is released? Source: Here. --Cyrannian 20:45, 12 August 2012 (EDT)
 * I guess you can add it to the "Features" section. In my opinion, "Covenant Storm" (?) should deserve its own article. — S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(COM • Mission Log • Profile) 21:07, 12 August 2012 (EDT)

Weapons
Hi, there is the prometean repeater --78.12.158.96 17:42, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Nice find but we need a source stating for sure that is the Promethean Repeater, and also we need a picture of it without a weapon skin before we can setup an article for it. -- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 19:58, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

Confusion with Source
A new source has popped up from IGN explaining Halo 4 specializations that will be available in the game along with descriptions of each. However, with each "specialization" they show an image of a unique armor permutation. My question is this: '''Does that armor permutation represent the specialization? Or does the specialization come with that armor permutation?''' It's a tad bit confusing especially because I see "pathfinder" which I thought was a armor variant. Also ADinoSupremacist added the Hyabusa armor to the article as making an appearance, however after reading the source it doesn't explicitely state that the armor will be in the game, more-so just mentioning it. -- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 19:58, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
 * bs angel clarrified a bit in this thread. Just scroll down to her post on page 2.--210.56.91.48 22:56, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

Halsey
States "Catherine Halsey" in the characters section. SDCC Panel QA says she and other Blue Team members are not in Halo 4.27.252.196.179

Couple of new info

Contenuti bonus utili ad approfondire al meglio tutti i personaggi e le storie di Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. La featurette "Bringing Gaming into Reality". Il "making of" di Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Accesso completamente gratuito al War Games Map Pass che permette do scaricare tre map pack multigiocatore che saranno rilasciati in futuro comprendenti tre mappe ciascuno.

Skin Prime per l'armatura Spartan-IV. Skin Prime per il fucile d'assalto. Emblema Prime. Avatar per Xbox LIVE con l'armatura Recruit. Avatar Cryo-Tube Xbox LIVE.

Wich roughly translated tells that a new skin for the assault rifle and for the armor are included into the LE (the skin name seems to be "Prime"), and also a new armor is shipped with that, the "Recruit Armor", and a "Prime" Emblem too. For the avatar there are the cryo-tube and a recruit armor. Sorry for the bad english, but i don't speak it as Motherlanguage
