It has been a while since we posted some game news. Nevertheless, here is something interesting you can pick up. Gamers looking forward to re-start sci-fi fights have a new option to consider, as Microsoft have officially announced the release of Halo 4: Limited Edition.
The game is priced at a touchy 100$ or 38 Omani Riyals (ouch!!!) and includes access to the War Games map pack, with nine new environments spread across three future multiplayer add-ons. A release schedule for the map packs will be unveiled at a later date.
Additionally, the Halo 4 Limited Edition grants gamers early access to six specializations, which unlock additional customization options. The six specializations available in the Halo 4 Limited Edition will be made available at a later date to all gamers, according to Gamespot.
The Halo 4 Limited Edition packs in the UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet, which includes an armour customization diagram, a blueprint of the Infinity ship, and additional "insight" into what it means to be a Spartan-IV soldier.
The premiums don't end there. Halo 4 Limited Edition also includes various digital content offerings delivered through Xbox Live, as well as the special edition of upcoming 90-minute live-action film Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.
On top of announcing the Halo 4 Limited Edition, Microsoft today also formally took the wraps off Halo 4's Spartan Ops offering. This mode will offer a weekly series of episodes through Xbox Live that tells the story of the UNSC Infinity and its crew after the events of Halo 4. The episodes will also introduce players to a new team of Spartans called Majestic Squad.
According to Microsoft, the episodes will provide a backdrop for the Spartan Ops game missions, which will be released on a weekly basis. Gamers can take on these objective-based missions either alone or with up to three friends. Further specifics were not offered. Halo 4 is due for its worldwide release exclusively on the Xbox 360 platform on November 6.
