(added the tube to the post to save linking off-site. But please feel free to follow the link, there are some good comments on the page :D )

Maybe it's cos ME 3 is just about to drop. Once all the shiny goodness has worn from that game, then maybe i'll be a bit more excited. But tbh, I kind of stopped paying attention & lost interest as soon as they said the BR was to return. I guess 343 listened to the cry-babies & caved! lol

TBH.. it kind of left me a bit under-whelmed...

Oh... I also thought the new armour looked a bit poncey as well lol...

Im in the same boat as you Biffles! I can't look past Mass Effect at the end of the week - it seems like more Halo which is no bad thing but there is nothing so far to get me really excited. Just seems they are milking the franchise much like COD......

Lol, no seriously though, I think it's looking pretty good, they don't seem to be fucking anything up anyway.

lol I totally agree Dan, it do's look good :D

But you have to remember... as far as at least Waxy & I are concerned, the Rose coloured glasses for ME3 are very much in place at the moment. So we're pretty blind to anything else that's going on in the gaming world.

Having said that though... I am sticking to my guns about the BR comment. I hope they might give us the option to set it to single shot though, if we like. At least that way, it'd emulate the DMR :D

Yeah, I didn't know about the BR's return. Presumably though this is set after Halo3 so BR is canon.

Nice post, Mr. Scruff, thanks for letting us know :D

Stepping a away from the campaign, there were some interesting snippets there about the MP... it do's sound like they've tried to introduce various aspects of CoD without being too obvious about it. If this helps gameplay, then i'm all for it. I was also happy to see that there is the option of the DMR in the weapons loadout, as well as the BR :D

No FireFight though... at least, it isn't confirmed :(

No Firefight and no Elites are going to piss some people off, and I'm a little shocked at the lack of FF (although, it's not confirmed), but the co-op episodic FREE content sounds good and the subtle nods to CoD could make it great. If they do the custom loadout thing I'd be quite happy, especially as they've confirmed that weapons will still be spawning on the map.

all sound good improvements to me and whilst I'll miss elites in MP, they were always more hassle than they were worth with people complaining about hitboxes etc

Halo 4 Limited Edition

Available for preorder today, the Halo 4 Limited Edition maximizes your multiplayer experience and puts you in the boots of a Spartan-IV aboard the UNSC Infinity – the hub of your Halo multiplayer career.

The Halo 4 Limited Edition will be available at the estimated retail price of $99.99 and includes:


• War Games Map Pack Access

The competitive multiplayer modes of Halo 4 are known as War Games. The Limited Edition includes access to nine maps - three future competitive multiplayer map packs, each including three locations, available for download post-launch on Xbox LIVE. Yes, you read that correctly; you get nine maps in the form of future DLC with the purchase of the Halo 4 Limited Edition. Score!


• Specializations

Everyone will have access to select Specializations, but those that purchase the Halo 4 Limited Edition will receive the ability to unlock six Specializations early, available at launch on Xbox LIVE. You can use them, one at a time, to achieve higher ranks in your Spartan career. In addition to gaining access to new ranks, Specializations unlock new customization options. We’ll be releasing more information about Specializations at E3, so expect additional details about this particular feature then.


• UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet

The UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet includes a Spartan armor customization schematic, information about UNSC weapons, an introduction to the massive ship UNSC Infinity, and insight into what it means to be one of humanity’s finest warriors: The Spartan-IVs. Story lovers will especially enjoy this in-fiction offering that provides a glimpse into the indoctrination of Spartans aboard the Infinity.


• Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn Special Edition

The Special Edition of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn is a 90-minute extended version of the live-action digital series which will take fans back to the terrifying beginning of the Human/Covenant war, when the Master Chief inspired a young cadet who would eventually become a leader aboard the UNSC’s greatest vessel ever: the UNSC Infinity.

Digital content also includes in-fiction bonus content that expands the characters and stories of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, special featurette Bringing Gaming into Reality, and a behind the scenes look at the making of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.


• Bonus digital content through Xbox LIVE

The Limited Edition includes the following bonus digital content through Xbox LIVE: unique in-game Spartan-IV armor skin, unique in-game weapon skin for the Assault Rifle, an exclusive in-game emblem, Xbox LIVE Avatar prop, and Xbox LIVE Avatar Spartan IV armor set.


Right about now you may be wondering, “If all those things come with the Limited Edition, what are they going to put in the Legendary Edition?” Here is the answer to that question: There will be two options available at retail for Halo 4 - the regular version of the game and the aforementioned Limited Edition. We decided to focus our efforts on a single special edition instead of numerous ones so you wouldn’t have to pick and choose between what ancillary items you want. Now your primary choice is whether or not you just want the game, or the game along with all the goodies. And we’re hoping we made that decision an easy one for you…

BTW, that's about £62.23p folks... but I can't find anywhere that stocks the limited edition yet. Just the bog-standard version.
