Halo 4: New Information from Gamestop – Video Games Update
It has been a while since Microsoft showed anything new relating to Halo 4 apart from the E3 Live action Trailer and game-play. But the wait for the hardcore fans of the series is over as today Gamestop has revealed some new information about the upcoming
Xbox 360 exclusive.
The Halo franchise has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.
It was revealed that for the first time the series' protagonist John 117 'Master Chief' will have an actually enemy as compared to just fighting in the war with aliens in general like in the previous Halo games. The new enemies in the game, the Prometheans,
will behave unlike anything seen in previous Halo titles.
Cortana, Master Chief’s AI companion from the original trilogy, was at the end of her life span by the end of Halo 3. What will happen to her as her programming starts to go haywire as she approaches the end of her life. Will Master Chief be able to trust
her?
343 industries have confirmed ten new weapons in the game. Two of them which they have already showed at the Microsoft E3 press Conference. The Scatter-shot which is a promethean shotgun similar to the Unreal Tournament’s Flak Cannon and the Beam-Rifle which
is another Promethean weapon. The addition of 10 new weapons has been the greatest increase in weapons compared to any previous Halo game so far, considering that the old weapons are also present.
343 Industries has also revealed that there have been two new additions to the vehicles, which will be revealed later on, and many old fan favourites will be returning. Game-play changes will also include intense action set-pieces, like those seen in Call
of Duty games, which 343i claims will make you ‘jump from your seat’ because they look so grand in scale.
On the Multiplayer side, there will be ten multiplayer maps that ship with the game but 343i will add on to the list with downloadable content Maps which will come later. Players will be able to personalise their unique created ‘Spartans’ in accordance with
their play style.
Halo 4 will also include Spartan Ops, which will be an episodic based Co-op Campaign. Spartan Ops will have 50 missions in total and 5 new missions will be released every week. 343 Industries also stated that it will be revealing ‘Ground Breaking’ new co-op
modes soon.
