Recently, I’ve noticed that 343 is just totally ruining the campaign. The game hasn’t even started printing, and it’s already being spoiled, by none other than the mouths telling it.
I’m afraid to watch interviews or conferences for anything now. In one of the builds, we see a title screen that gives off a pretty major hint to some of the plot.
In one of the 343 press conferences, they show a cutscene of the game that totally spoils a major plot point.
In a Spartan Ops interview, David Ellis revealed that we’d be returning to Requiem.
I mean, really 343? I expect leaks and spoilers from others around launch, but we have 4 months before the game is out! Button your lips for Christ’s sake!
I don’t want to have to go dark so soon and miss out on a lot of multiplayer details, since that is what I am mostly basing my purchase on, but I really don’t have a choice anymore. 343 is keeping War Games and Spartan Ops so close together, it is very difficult to avoid small spoilers and leaks. I’d like to actually go into this game and get a bunch of surprises, not a summary before the game launches, with small details ignored for launch day.
i dont see how saying that spartan ops is gonna take place on the same world the campaign takes place on is that big of a spoiler. they havent realy given out enything huge

There are still plenty of mystery and surprises left, I’m sure.
And while there have been some bursts of info about the story, it seems like its opening up more questions than answers. Adding to the speculation, fueling some of they hype.
I agree, that the campaign shouldn’t be spoiled too much… but I don’t think they’ve gone too far yet. Yet.
I get what your saying but I dont think it’s that bad yet. I haven’t seen the cutscenes they showed and your the first I’ve seen complaining about it. Also I don’t think it should come as a shock that SOps has the Infinity returning to Requiem.
There is nothing to complain about, there are still plenty of surprises left in store for the campaign. Also you should complete the campaign first. When Reach came out and I went on multiplayer some jerk decided he’d spoil the whole story for everyone.

If you think about it more in-depth though, Spartan Ops & War Games is set six months after the Campaign, we are only running simulations on board the Infinity, which means between those six months, we know that Requiem is safe from this Ancient Evil, and they had enough time to go back and explore some unexplored parts of Requiem.
The main problem there, it pretty much tells us the fate of the Ancient Evil.
Well before you go ranting, be careful of what you type. Don’t spoil it for the rest of us.
I haven’t seen or heard of anything your talking about and most likely don’t want to either.
Just by Halo 4 on the basis that it’s going to be another fantastic Halo game.

I tried to keep it as vague as possible. I hope nothing was ruined for you.

Not really. There are still enemy Promethean units on Requiem as seen in the Spartan Ops gameplay, so whatever caused them to attack humans hasn’t been fixed yet. Plus we’ve been told that the Chief will have his a “true” nemesis for the first time in the series. Remember, this is a new trilogy, so whatever happens in this game has got to be big enough to start off a chain of events that’ll last 2 more games.
Basically, I’m pretty sure that whoever we are fighting in Halo 4, doesn’t get defeated.
> Just due to some smaller details, I have a feeling we won’t have to deal with Prometheans all that much.
I’m pretty sure these guys are going to be our main enemies for the next few games. It’d be a let down if they introduced a new enemy, we then defeated them in one game and then get introduced to another enemy for Halo 5 & 6.

Title screens never really spoil major plot points that we don’t know already. Halo 2, shows New Mombasa getting messed up, already shown on the back of the box. Halo 3, shows off The Ark’s portal, shown in numerous trailers. ODST, just showed the first cutscene. Reach changed as you played it so again, nothing you don’t know already.
Halo 4’s does show off a Halo ring but because of the fact that we know there’s more Halos anyway isn’t really a suprise. Besides, we may not even go there for anything outside of the ending / legendary ending so no plot points spoiled here.
The cutscene they showed at SDCC wasn’t a real major plot point. It was extended from what we saw in the E3 demo at the end and they were vague to whatever “He” was or why the captain of the Infinity wanted to leave and set up a warning beacon. You’ll know who “He” is before that cutscene and you’ll know why they wanna leave BEFORE that cutscene. So again, no major things spoiled that we don’t know already.
David Ellis probably meant by “returning to Requiem” by the fact that some of the missions / chapters in Spartan Ops actually take place on Requiem. So again, nothing really spoiled.
> To be honest, those examples don’t seem nearly as big as “Why is there a Cryptum flying around (and who is in it)?”, “why has an army of Promethean robots has been awakened?” and “What events will happen in this game that’s important enough for a whole new trilogy to be made?”

> Honestly, those things you mentioned are pretty small. I think the biggest spoiler we’ve had so far is them revealing the new enemies.
Just due to some smaller details, I have a feeling we won’t have to deal with Prometheans all that much.

Not really, the Ancient Evil could retreat or start heading to Earth.
I haven’t got a clue what’s going to happen in Halo 4’s campaign. If you hear something, don’t think about it in-depth, that’ll probably spoil certain things for you, but as of now, nothing, at all, has been spoiled for me.
