Talk:Halo 4/Archive 2: Difference between revisions

The media embargo has been lifted. --[[User talk:Halo face|Halo face]] 09:31, 5 March 2012 (EST)

The first sentence in Gamplay and design mentions that the last 2 installments in the reclaimer trilogy will be on the next generation console. I visited the source and it didn't mention that. Should that be deleted or was it confirmed somewhere else?

per above, seriously check these close-up images of Master Chief holding the BR. you started the edit-war and have no legitimate reason to undo my edits.

::i've already provided the source.

== Year ==

:Wait until 343i says so.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}

Actually 343i stated that Cortana is 7 years old in Halo 4. She was "born" in 2549. This places the game in Fall 2556-2557, shortly or sometime after Origins.

I went to GameStop today, and when I asked about preordering Halo 4, I was told that the release date was November 15, the 11th anniversary. I want to update the page, but wondered if anyone can confirm this first?--[[User talk:Sierra 109|Sierra 109]] 21:53, 21 March 2012 (EDT)

That would just be Gamestop pulling a date out of their asses, just like they do with every game.[[User talk:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 15:30, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

Like what was said [[Talk:Halo_4#Note_to_all_editors|before]] please refrain from making unnecessary edits and edits without citations/references (proof as I call it) to this article. Also remember to use the preview function before saving the page. Yes I agree the, ''UNSC Infinity'' & ''Pelicans'' will probably/most likely be in the game based off the concept art but concept art does not constitute an appearance, just wait for 343 to state its in the game. We are anxious for more info on the game but seriously, have patience. Also understand the difference between "speculation" and "facts"- "''As well when looking closely at the images of the Master Chief in halo 4 it is noteable that both of the master chief's index fingers have no armor from the second knuckle to the tip of the finger. This would fit 343's attempt at a more functional suit of a may hint at the return of the duel wielding ability into Halo 4's gameplay''" is pure speculation, has no references, doesn't use proper grammer, and shouldn't be posted. Also if it doesn't need to be fixed, leave it alone. If you are not sure if something you want to post is okay to post, then ask here. Don't just post it, or else you might start an [[Talk:Halo_4#Edit_Conflict|Edit War]]! [[User talk:Killamint|Killamint]] 10:03, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

:I'd like to say, even though the dual wielding comment is pure speculation (Spartans are obviously ambidextrous), the point about the finger armour being more functional is a good one, just some real life military gloves keep the trigger finger uncovered, it helps a lot. That said, I don't think it belongs on the Halo 4 page, but could be added to this armours page once we learn it's name. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 10:14, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

::::Yeah I take responsibility for that last revert (Like I got a choice). Didn't realize what the user was trying to do until ''Spartan331'' showed me. So I'll definitely take that into account next time. --[[User talk:Killamint|Killamint]] 14:38, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

I feel it would be a douchebag move on 343i's part to just say that the new armor is the Mark VI just redesigned. They've been very good with the canon and design so far, so why change it now? Of course it's possible Engineers mess around with his armor, I believe it's Mark VII. [[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]]

We don't know enough about it now.  Wait until we get definitive information before changing anything. '''[[User:Vegerot|<font color="blue">('''or so it says in the sacred caves''')</font> Vegerot!]]''''' 10:22, 3 April 2012 (EDT)!

But the Cole Protocol and Halo Wars Mark IV are variants of the Mark IV. Now I do have a theory on why they look different and it's based on information that's already been given out by 343i. [[User: ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]]

:They look different because they are drawn differently by different artists of different studios without any close supervision or close support from one another. You can conjure any theory you want but until all of these different stylised armours from different media appear in one media, any theory is simply redundant. Of course, don't let my comment stop you... it's simply to point out that it's wholly pointless... but fan theories are fun.— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 06:06, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

Arright, this has bothered me since the people started freaking out over the armor those many months ago: what I can gather he meant by "less canonical explanation" is this: when the Cheif wakes up, he's wearing the Mk. VI, as could be expected. Aftermthe crash, Cortana shows him the Mk. VII, located on the Forward Unto Dawn, and basically says "happy birthday, John, here ya go!" That way, we know where he got it in general, but we don't have any "just came in from Songsam this morning" like in Halo 2. Soooo, yeah. That's what I think will happen. [[User talk:Infernal-Blaze|Infernal-Blaze]] 09:49, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

::If you look [[File:Halo 4 Multiplayer (2).jpg|100px]], You'll see that the armors share a chestplate, undersuit details and the strange pseudo-codpeice that Cheif's new armor has. All I'm saying is that it's not so cut-and-dry that Cheif's wearing some kind of Mk VI.5. [[User talk:Infernal-Blaze|Infernal-Blaze]] 11:09, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

::::Canonically, it was always there, but would have been impractical to give him mid-combat. Non-canonically, it would be a retcon: even the concept of a Mk VII was nonexistent when Halo 3 was made, so it couldn't have been offered then anyway.

Hope yall like them and let the rage begin. --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 21:01, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Well then I'll just have to say what's in the new GI. Basically there's a new weapon called the "Assault Carbine." The Covenant Carbine is returning along with the Energy Sword. A bunch of regular UNSC weapons are returning such as Sniper, Rocket Launcher, etc. The new DMR is revealed and it looks very much different yet similar to it's Reach counterpart. IT does have a very unique looking scope. --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 21:15, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

I meant to make it like the format of the [[Halo 3]] page. The same format is used on the ODST page. This formatting saves space. --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 13:19, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

== Assault Carbine ==

It would be interesting to have an SMG-like thing and a full assault rifle like in Halo 3.[[User talk:Weeping Angel|Weeping Angel]] 20:19, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

::Did anyone ever consider it could basically be an automatic version of the covenant carbine, kinda like the plasma repeater, but without the suckiness?

:::Nah.

:I think you put too much trust in journalists. Yeah, it's pretty obvious that the Forerunners will be involved in the immediate future, but they don't exactly cite their sources.

:{{Quote|a '''tease''' that you'll finally run into some of the series' mythical Forerunners|emphasis added by mne.}}

So even though both Kiki Wolfkill and Josh Holmes along with several other 343i employees all posted this article on twitter doesn't mean anything? I think that's even more confirmation. They would probably say "well that's not true" or "not entirely true." Since they advertised it I'd say that it's official. --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 13:36, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

This talk page is getting a little long, in fact its longer than the last one. Suggest it be archived (i.e. archive#2)??? Anyone, anybody agree?? --[[User talk:Killamint|Killamint]] 19:18, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
