Halo 4 info being released

Microsoft revealed Halo 4's Limited Edition today, and there's not a cat helmet to be found. Instead, the $100 package gets you a fancy box, a "UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet," and a host of in-game bonuses, expanding the multiplayer experience.
The LE includes the "War Games Map Pack," a voucher for "three future competitive multiplayer map packs, each including three locations, available for download post-launch on Xbox Live." It also includes early access to six multiplayer Specializations, which will only be released at launch in this package; they'll be "released over time" to the general audience.
Other digital bonuses include an exclusive armor and weapon skin, an in-game emblem, and an Avatar prop. The LE also includes an "extended 90-minute version" of the Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn video series, extra featurettes, and making-of videos.
ETA so getting this game

Halo 4's competitive multiplayer will be known as War Games and, as previously detailed, will offer plenty of character progression and customization, such as armor specializations that enable "combat enhancements" tailored to specific play styles.
Both War Games and Spartan Ops are included with the standard edition of Halo 4, though those willing to pony up the dough for the $99 special edition will also receive 9 maps (to be doled out across three map packs after launch) and early access to six armor specializations.

I don't usually get into all the gimmicks with the Limited Editions. I will probably just get the game and play it and get the stuff when I can. I might hold of on a release date purchase just to see what all the armor abilities, perks, etc are. Man I miss Halo 2

After paying $100+ for the limited edition or whatever of MW3 I'm never doing that shite again. fricking worthless.
"it comes with a book!!!!1" yea fricking worthless drawings. While my arse with that shite.

I'm surprised you would pay that much for any video game

The only one I ever did was one of the Halos because it came with a Master Chief helmet that is sitting on top of my entertainment center

Yea seems like it is getting you stuff early.

Is there armor lock, jetpacks, DMR's, and reticle bloom? Could care less about all the map gimmicks. If the core gameplay is as awful as Reach was, I want nothin to do with it.

i may have misread but i believe they are pulling the armor perks

I could have sworn that Bungie said they were done making Halo after Halo 3.

They did M$ bought the rights and owns the IP

Microsoft has owned the rights to Halo since before Halo was a first-person shooter. Microsoft owned Bungie for the duration of development for the first three games. Most of the people on the team at 343 Industries, outside of a few big names like Marty, Wong, Shishka, etc., are actually the people who loved making Halo games so much that they didn't want to move on.

Would be great if this game resembled Halo 2's gameplay. Don't think there will ever be a console FPS like that again.

everyone bitching about game prices in here
when I was in New Zealand pretty much all new games were 100-119 dollars NZ. 1 nz dollar=approx 85 cents US
ps3s were still over 500nz, 360 over 400
couldn't believe people pay that
