Halo 4 Limited Edition and “specializations” details released

News    

When Halo 4 launches on November 6th for the Xbox 360, the game’s multiplayer will feature “Specializations,” new armor modifications that allow you to accommodate your specific playing style. The Specializations will appear in both War Games (a $25 dollar season pass that unlocks 3 map packs and other, exclusive items) and Spartan Ops (a mode where all Specializations battle against each other) as you earn new ranks beyond level 50. In a first for the Halo franchise, Halo 4 will also feature emblems, armor packs, armor skins, and unique upgrades based on specific Specializations. Two of these Specializations (Wetwork and Pioneer) will be available in the Halo 4 regular edition, and all eight Specializations will appear within the Halo 4 Limited Edition and Xbox Live – either as DLC or purchasable extras – at some point in the months following the game’s release.

Additionally, Microsoft has released the full details of Halo 4 Limited Edition, and the details are quite tantalizing. Here’s what you’ll get for $99:
