NeoGaf poster Ryaaan14 was able to get into an IRC with the supposed person who leaked the HALO 4 barn video, he managed to ask some questions and get some pretty good answers to them.

[04:52] Ryaaan>So by piece.
[04:52] MTW> yes
[04:52] MTW> paintable only as a whole
[04:52] MTW> helmet/chest/etc

<Ryaaan14> How scaled are loadout/perk unlocks?
[04:53] <Ryaaan14> I know beta is beta, but ya know.
[04:53] <MTW> not well
[04:53] <MTW> you just get credit to buy whatever you want
[04:53] <MTW> some better stuff is tied to having a higher level
[04:53] <MTW> you get perks that make you deadly pretty early on

<Ryaaan14> Which does the movement/aiming feel closer to?
[04:54] <MTW> good question.
[04:54] <MTW> if halo 3 had jet packs.
[04:54] <MTW> good question.
[04:54] <MTW> if halo 3 had jet packs.
<Ryaaan14> How does the “jet booster” play?
[04:55] <MTW> it just shoots you horizonal. very weird.
[04:55] <MTW> regular jet pack is still in though
[04:55] <MTW> it just shoots you horizonal. very weird.
[04:55] <MTW> regular jet pack is still in though
[04:55] <MTW> the armor ability menu scrolls futher than you guys have seen
[04:55] <MTW> one last item is on that screen
[04:55] <MTW> jet pack.
[04:55] <MTW> one last item is on that screen
[04:55] <MTW> jet pack.
<Ryaaan14> So boost and jetback are separate things?
[04:55] <Ryaaan14> *jetpack
[04:55] <MTW> yes.
[04:56] <MTW> jet pack is an armor ability
[04:56] <MTW> but you unlock it late
[04:55] <MTW> yes.
[04:56] <MTW> jet pack is an armor ability
[04:56] <MTW> but you unlock it late
<Ryaaan14> What is boost then?
[04:56] <MTW> thruster unlocks earlyish
[04:56] <Ryaaan14> A perk?
[04:56] <MTW> for a second i thought that wasn’t an armor ability, had to check. it is one as well.
[04:56] <Ryaaan14> Ok so you can get a nerfec jetpack earlier
[04:56] <Ryaaan14> *nerfed
[04:56] <MTW> not so nerfed, but yes.

<Ryaaan14> Ok, bloom
[04:57] <Ryaaan14> Does it exist
[04:57] <MTW> not really, no.
[04:57] <MTW> nothing like reach
[04:57] <MTW> shots go where you point.
[04:57] <Ryaaan14> So bloom is ONLY visual?
[04:57] <Ryaaan14> Just to time shots
[04:58] <MTW> that appears to be it, yes. keep in mind I am not a halo expert. i just know i hated how rifles worked in reach, and this is much better.
[04:58] <Ryaaan14> Good to know
