New Halo 4 info [05/18/2012]

I was at Barnes n Noble today and I saw the July 2012 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine. There was an article on Halo 4 in there, and these are some of the juicy details;

New multiplayer weapons: “Assault Carbine” and “DMG”

Infinity: This is actually going to be a menu option like would be Campaign or matchmaking. Also, the battles are going to be Spartan vs Spartan on the “combat deck” and it will be some sort of training simulator. Presumably, this is some sort of human vs Ai Bot feature to prepare you for matchmaking

Campaign: Apparently one of the weapons you can use in the very first part of the Campaign is the BR (so I suppose you don’t have to earn it)

Other than that they talked about a couple of multiplayer maps and gametypes, and also offered some new pictures that I have never seen before, so I recommend picking up the magazine if you do get a chance.

[NOTE: This is NOT spoiler/leaked information. This information is already public through the magazine article and otherwise I did not obtain this information illegally or deceptively]

Some one put dat -Yoink- on YouTube!

DMG i wonder what that is. Could it be somewhat like the SMG?

Please let this be the case!

if we assume that the MG stands for machine gun what does the D stand for? Hmm interesting…

Darth? :3

Or it’s just a typo when they meant to say, “DMR”

This is old information. we knew 95% of this when the Gameinformer did their article on Halo 4 over a month ago.

that would make more sense

I wish I could find an article or scans of it somewhere on the internet.

> DMG i wonder what that is. Could it be somewhat like the SMG?

sounds like a misprint, it was probably DMR, not DMG.

Designated Machine Gun. The SMG equivilent of the DMR?

Wait so there will be ai bots in halo 4 ?! Is that Spartan ops or custom bots on mp maps ?!

> Wait so there will be ai bots in halo 4 ?! Is that Spartan ops or custom bots on mp maps ?!

they already said there would be no ai bots in multiplayer

According to OP is the infinity Spartan ops or some thing diff ?

I didn’t know this, so it must not be that old. Thank you OP. Great find.

Infinity is just another name for multiplayer matchmaking. when you put in the Halo 4 disk, the main menu will look something like this basically:

Campaign
Infinity (Matchmaking)
Spartan Ops
Custom Games
Forge
