Halo 4 leaked?

Apparently 4chan is trying to spoil as many people as possible.

Comment sections of Kotaku on Halo-related articles for example are a complete no-go, other comment sections will probably follow.

Batten down the hatches, gentlemen.

Yep, /v/ got me good. I should have known better. Oh well, the game will be awesome.
 
Ok, general question, please no spoilers or even hinted spoilers.. For those who know the story/spoilers.. should I expect good things? I always enjoyed the universe of Halo but felt the story told in the games was a bit weak.
 
Visuals are kinda inconsistent, it looks up there with Uncharted 2 in the more open areas but there are many areas (mostly in doors) where it looks a flat and low-res. I guess this is a decent example, shot I found (no spoilers). Granted I'm going by videos, but they're from the games native resolution.

Looks like halo reach with BF3 lighting effects.
 
can someone please pm the live stream?

Ill be going to Russia the day before it comes out so I wont get a chance to play it for a couple of months.
 
Based on everything I have seen, it is easily one of the most visually impressive FPS games ever. The visual style is very 'consistent' across the board. Everything just looks extremely solid and weighty. Character facial animation is some of the best ever on a console.

And the HDR effects are godly.
 
the helmet shadow on the guns is kind of annoying, especially in MP.
 
You need a modded xbox 360 to play the leaked game right? So it's gotta be a very small percentage of people who will download this and play it, and subsequently not buy the game.

It won't affect sales at all, the only thing it changes is that the story/ending gets leaked way before the game comes out. Sucks but it's not the end of the world for 343. They had to know it was going to leak, it was just a matter of when.

I'm jealous though and frustrated that people can play it before I can.

I don't think this leak will do anything. M$ is seemingly trying to curtail the connectivity of said players via the ban hammer so I doubt it will affect sales.

I don't care if people can play it before me. I hate that people are actively trying to spoil it to those who don't want to know. I don't mind a few spoilers.. but a few places on Reddit had people actively posting huge spoilers in normal halo discussions. That's just too far, and they can only do that because the game leaked.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Yeah for the minority of us that check Kotaku, don't fucking go there at all.

Usually what those bastards end up doing is running a story that something has leaked and that people should be careful about leaks and not getting spoiled, and then weeks later they assume everyone's been spoiled and end up running stupid editorials with the spoilers in their thumbnails and/or hints to such in the titles.
 
Games need to probably have some steam encrypt feature so their games can't be leaked fully before launch. Bad news.


There was part of a picture or gif posted and it was made known that it was a porn video (clown and a woman). Then people started asking for PMs of the video link/name. Everyone that asked for a pm of that got banned for asking. I think there was a warning but they didn't see it or pay enough attention. It was derailing the thread.

Like if someone were to ask for links to a stream it would be just like the clown porn thing almost (I think advertising links to pirated game streams is a no on gaf from history).
 
It's silly since all three console makers are in the business for making money...

It's appropriate though since only "M$" made money last year. Trolls use the $, but personally I'd love to be referred to that way. Bacon$ammy is makin' bank, y'all.

I wouldn't be surprised if it happened next-gen, but currently all games have to have their single-player mode available offline.
 
I've been wondering whether they're still there when playing splitscreen. anyone know ?

Pretty sure it's gone in splitscreen. At least, I recall another GAF member complaining about it being missing.

Also put me in the camp that finds it an annoying feature - too distracting with the jumpy motion. Surely they could have found better use of render time than that.
 
To be honest, I don't like Halo at all.

Never got into it; I find it somehow boring.

But then again, to each to its own.
 
Can they/will they push the release date forward some? Will be interesting to see.

It will die down eventually. MS will market the crap out of it, so I doubt it will get pushed forward.

So, are you guys saying the graphics are on par with Uncharted? I'm curious as to why I'm not seeing more people bragging about the graphical fidelity

Most people who care for Halo are in the community thread, and this being a leak thread with spoilers they are all avoiding it.

Just wait until the release date. 360 fanboys will go crazy over the graphics.
 
I don't condone pirating in any sense....but I am curious to know how long the SP Campaign is. That is the only info I care to know about before the game comes out.

oh, ok. i'm not too fussed about the shadowing. hopefully however the aliasing in halo 4 splitscreen wont be as bad as it was in reach splitscreen.

Why not? Some elements looks on par with Uncharted, some other looks better and some other worse.

A streamer beat the campaign on easy is about 5 1/2 hours, I'd expect between 6 to 7 for a normal playthrough.

Perhaps I should of stated how long it is on heroic. Easy in Halo games is a cake walk and you can just blow through the games. Heroic is like the best level to play halo games.
 
You're not going to get a realistic time to beat any game judging it on how quickly someone that stole the game rushes through it on easy so he can be the first to scream, "FIRST!"
 
Haven't played Halo since 3, this game looks amazing!! If the gamestop 50$ discount for an Xbox 360 is true I will truly consider buying one.
