 |  Subject: Halo 4 Leaked: How You Can Avoid Spoilers  Mon Oct 15, 2012 4:42 am | |

- Illegitimately obtained copies of Halo 4 have leaked to the public. Gameplay videos, including full level play-throughs and cutscenes, as well as the ending, have started circulating online -- so if you're hoping for Halo 4's secrets to stay secret, avoid message boards, Twitter, and YouTube. Internet users, some genuinely excited and others just plain malicious, are sharing various spoilers to their followers. Want to stay safe from the minefield? Here's your best course of action:
Set your Twitter profile to Protected -- you'll need to authorize folks who want to follow your content, and it'll help you sift through the good guys and bad.
Use Twitter filters -- add various Halo terminology to your global filters, if your Twitter client allows for it, and you won't see any updates with those phrases at all.
Avoid message boards -- Xbox.com, NeoGAF, and other popular forums are filled with reckless posts containing sensitive Halo 4 details.
Don't click links from people you don't trust and don't search Halo 4 on YouTube.
Read comments sections very carefully -- some men just want to watch the world burn. They'll post ending details in the comments section of YouTube and news stories just to ruin it for others.
Get off the grid -- Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere someone can spoil something for you should be ignored if you want to guarantee spoilers won't show up in your feeds.
343 Industies Creative Director Josh Holmes pleaded to his followers, "I've worked for over 3 years making Halo 4. Please avoid spoilers and leaks from thieves for 3 more weeks until the game is out. Thank you."
IGN has reached out to Microsoft for a comment concerning the Halo 4 leak, and we'll update you with the official word as soon as we hear it.
In the meantime, if you need your fix, IGN is running Halo 4 map tours with 343 Industries' lead multiplayer map designer Kynan Pearson every Tuesday and Thursday. Be sure to learn all about Halo 4's new multiplayer maps before joining the competition when it releases on November 6. Source | |
