Halo 4 Armor Specializations

Well you've probably already heard about the new armor mods or perks which come from selecting a certain specialization.

There are currently around 8 specializations for Halo 4 that will grace your consoles this fall. But not having time to understand them fully, here is a link to IGN who breakdown very nicely and simply each specialization for you all to come to grips with.

Also only 2 of these specializations can be chosen from the moment you first start playing, a for the otheres the intention is really to extend the replayability and long life of Halo 4's multiplayer, whilst allowing you to try out different styles of play later on.

Halo 4 Forge RTX Video

So creative Halo 4 fans, this is the recent Halo 4 Forge demo video from RTX that introduces the new style forge mode for Halo 4 gamers to use.



For those wanting the scoop: the new forge includes various player trait zones allowing you to change things like gravity, damage reduction movement speed etc... and a few forge maps which will ship with the final release, rather than a single forge world in one big open area. Which is good news as it shouldn't take as long to load up.

Also they are introducing piece magnetism to Halo 4 forge. This basically kind of like anchor points we've all longed for, which allows you instant and automatically alignment of pieces together. Reducing the painstaking manual aligning required in Halo 3 and Reach, to achieve that seamless look.

Also pieces can be individually locked into place, rather than getting bumped out of the way as in previous instalments.

Longbow Warthog RTX Gameplay Video

So here's a very long 48 minute video of the guys at RTX playing on the Halo 4 map Longbow, with some great warthog action. They play three games and includes their team introductions.

Check it out:



The warthog chain gun appears not to overheat anymore which is great news. And it also catches on fire too. But still handles and reacts in the traditional fashion we know and come to expect from the game.
