Enjoy!
Probably the ONLY good Halo 4 vid IGN has ever put out. IGN rarely ever goes into deep detail on anything, I feel like IGN is full of compelte twerps.

I agree.

I’m pretty sure everyone agrees with that. This and the new map videos are the only good videos I’ve ever seen from IGN.
Ermahgerd! Ermahgerd! Ermahgerd! Ermahger… Be right back, going to change pants…
If there’s anything 343i has done amazingly (and there’s a whole lot of them), this is the best! And it’ll be there in the playlists Day1!
Day1 Plan:
Beat entire Campaign on Normal
Flood Mode for the rest of the mother Yoinking! day! 
Day2 Plan:
Play Multiplayer
Day3 Plan:
Play Mutliplayer
Day 4/5/6/7/8/9/rest of Halo 4’s life time:
Flood Mode
with, of course, Spartan Ops in the middle of that.
and okay, that last one was overexaggertaion. Everything in Halo 4 looks amazing (better than Halo 2 overall? Is that even possible? Looks like it.). I’ll definitely be playing everything, but my number 1 playing time will be in Flood Mode (and I don’t care, not one single care, if it ranks me up slow or doesn’t rank up my K/D ratio)!
I wasn’t a big fan of infection, but this Flood Mode looks pretty promising.
Towards the end of the video at 6:36 he thrusts and kills the Spartan at the same time. That looks like it’s going to be a pretty useful trick.
Did anyone else hear Flood assassination

Thrust + Assassination = Tackle kill?
I wanna see the “Floodsassination” though! I’m hoping it transforms spartans into flood.
Good to hear they’re still tweaking what armor abilities will be in the playlist. Hopefully they change it to allow players to be their own color loadout instead of uniform green or whatever. Also still want to hear about flood custom settings and if we can give zombies other weapons etc.
> Did anyone else hear Flood assassination
Yes i did…
I can’t wait to see it…

Same here I might enjoy playing Infection now.
Is that our first look at achievements there too?
25G - Movin’ On Up
I’m assuming it’s some kinda of rank/experience based multiplayer achievement?

Achievements have already been posted.

Movin’ On Up - Rank up your Spartan-IV to SR-20.
According to the Bulletin it should also be worth 30G
Better analysis of Flood players and more evenly (and fair) matching?
F YEAH!!!
Gone are the days with me being a Zombie all the freaking time!

Oops. Definitely missed that one, thanks!
This was a pretty awful interview when it comes to revealing new information.
“10 players max”. What? Is the playlist 10 players max, or are you making the gametype 10 players max? Can we have 16 player infection in custom games? According to this employee, flood mode is “10 players max”. This needed clarification. Badly.
Alpha zombies? Does this have alpha zombies, or not? Another point that the interviewer failed to bring up. The interviewer seemed to know what infection mode was, but clearly was not a fan of it. If he was, the question of alpha zombies would have been raised immediately.
Can you turn the flood effects off in custom games? I don’t particularly like the new flood effects, flood sword, model etc. I want it how it was in H3 and Reach, where zombies are just black colored spartans. Will this be an option in custom games?
Can “flood” zombies use any weapon, including guns, in custom games? Can flood drive vehicles, etc?
Seems like Microsoft really dropped the ball. Custom Games MAKES infection, whether you like it or not, Infection/Flood, whatever, is the most popular gametype when it comes to custom games. The interviewer absolutely should have brought these points up, and dropped the ball and missed so many chances to discuss this new gamemode.
Nice. The new Flood mode looks great, I just hope that I won’t have to be a yellow Spartan all the time. 
And switching between the Spartan and Flood model in Custom Games would be nice too.
And I can’t wait to see the Flagssasination

In the video, at 4:22 when he starts the round as Flood, it says “Alpha Flood” at the top of the screen. I couldn’t really tell if he was any more powerful though.
