Fake Halo 4 Release Date confirmed by fake video - 11/21/12

Why was the old Vidoc pulled down by "microsoft". I think it makes sense because X12 is on the 29th, this is probably what they are going to show the press.

And yea it's on a wednesday, that is pretty weird, but other than that this has to be real, or MS wouldn't have pulled it down.

There never was a "pulled" video.
 
Don't they usually come out in September/October? Seems weird that they would release Halo right around the time Blops 2 comes out.
 
Although there's really no evidence to suggest that the video is real, the fact that nobody from 343 industries has confirmed its falsehood on Gaf combined with how Microsoft pulled the original is somewhat suspicious.

The reactions to the "Tom Morello" photos two or three years ago were about the same, mind you.
 
The thing that makes me believe it's real is that it gave me no clue as to anything relating to Halo 4. This is in keeping with 343's marketing strategy thus far.

It's fake
 
uh no, my argument is if it was fake material, they wouldn't of claim copyright infringement and have it removed.

People can have youtube videos taken down for bird sounds, Microsoft has similar powers even if the video is real or not.


Going to repeat it one more time. The site owner of Halo Destiny confirmed that it was a video they worked on and is not real. That should be the end of this debate.

It's claiming to be a real Halo Vidoc, that's the problem. It's a fake and Microsoft doesn't want people thinking it's real.

Also, have you looked at the video? Someone ripped the first part of a previous 343 ViDoc, added random visual effects and put some music under it. Nothing in the video even resembles anything Halo.
 
I think your argument is as dumb as that argument. Microsoft went out of their way to stop the information in this video from being leaked. There has to be a reason for that.

Yeah, it's called they didn't want to release it right now. They have a set plan and it didn't go according to their plan. Why is that so hard to comprehend. It's not a flipping conspiracy.
 
My favourite console shooter. I just hope that they keep 4-player-split-screen in it and I will enjoy the hell out of it. Man, I'm hyped!
 
Yes they would. Fake trailers for unreleased/unrevealed products can do more harm than good.

Just take a look at this thread trainwreck.

Ya, no. There are a plethora of fake leaks on youtube that Microsoft never claimed copyrights on.

What makes this one video special enough for them to claim copyright infringement and have it removed?

What???? He's arguing that it's fake, because microsoft pulled it... I agree with you that they didn't want to release it early... what conspiracy?? uhh nvm

The fact it is getting popular? Microsoft does not want misinformation spreading.

I'm going to stop trying to persuade you and the fine folks that want to think there's some mystery going on here.

Obvious Microsoft are hiding something. There's obviously a conspiracy here.

There's not one reputable HaloGAF regular in here willing to be embarrassed and stand up for this video or any of imaginary shadow dealings going on. If you can't bring yourself to ask why, then, whatever.

Just pass that shit when you're done smoking it.

That looked like a demo reel for an effects company. Probably the same one that did the work on the halo 4 teaser from last E3.

If they were to show that they would get massive press backfire.
 
Fake, as other have said. They probably pulled it due to it seeming more real and the risk of it spreading misinformation.


Hm, hopefully that means we will see something soon.

probably in 2 days at the ms event. there is an embargo till next week but i highly doubt that they will hold h4 news back for that long (and many will break the embargo).
 
If MS is going to launch Xbox720 late this year or early next year, surely it would be in their interests to have this as a launch game which is why I doubt that date.
 
The wast a pretty stupid video for Halo 4.

All it makes me think of is wanting a space game like flOw.

Edit: Oh it's fake, I knew it was odd.

A space flOw would be great tho.

Yeah, I think it may actually wind up being there, despite Frankie warning people not to get too excited. The fact that MS pulled this leads me to think they may have some actual info coming soon and don't want this fake being reported on as real. I guess time will tell.
 
A release date before we've even seen gameplay footage, is this a first for a Halo game? You're killing me here, Frankie.

[edit]

Fake!?! >:O
Still killing me, though, Frankie.
 
The cruel twist is that the Halo 4 trailer we'll see in two days will be just like that one. We wont get another trailer till August.
 
Once again My birthday is the best date for gaming ever.
