E3 2012 Offers Up Halo 4 Deets

Come election-day, the Master Chief , like a boss, will come to your house and sit you down. Then he’ll get all comfy, pop Halo 4 in your disc tray, living there longer then say Black Ops 2.

Halo 4 will include two new takes on old classics: Slayer and Firefight will become War Games and Spartan Ops, respectively.  The latter will tell the story, episodically, of the UNSC Infinity, its crew and a new team of Spartans,  Majestic Squad. Infinity will also serve as the hub for War Games, offering character progression and customization to suit your play style. Intriguingly, it will also offer  a scoring system which separates both individual and team performance, ensuring that appropriate rep is given where it’s due. Hit the jump to see the gameplay videos of both game types.

More details have yet to be revealed but If that’s not enough for you, then post launch, there will be 9 new maps, across three maps packs. A Limited Edition will retail for $99, though if history is anything to go by, those limited editions will be produced in such huge quantities that you’ll easily be able to find them for less than half price 3-4 months post-launch.
