"Halo 4 could introduce micro-transactions, it has been revealed. Executive producer Dan Ayoub said it is currently &amp;quot;looking at&amp;quot; how Gears of War offers bonus cosmetic items for a small fee.  &amp;quot;I think Halo certainly has the potiental for those kinds of things,&amp;quot; Ayoub told Digital Spy. &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t have too much to talk about in terms of our plans down that line, but it&amp;#039;s certainly something... we&amp;#039;ve seen the fans of Gears are enjoying, and if it&amp;#039;s something we think our community is going to enjoy, it&amp;#039;s something we&amp;#039;ll seriously talk about.&amp;quot; The release of the &amp;#039;Castle&amp;#039; map pack this week completes the Halo 4 season pass, but Ayoub suggested that more content could be on the way. Fan feedback will help decide the game&amp;#039;s future, he said, but added that &amp;quot;anything we do will be pretty deliberate&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Obviously our commitment is always that we&amp;#039;re going to make sure there&amp;#039;s something for people to do on Halo, whether it&amp;#039;s playlists, or new maps or new content, something like that,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;We can&amp;#039;t say too much about the specifics we&amp;#039;re planning, but what we can say is we don&amp;#039;t take that commitment lightly, and people should keep their eyes open for cool stuff.&amp;quot; Gallery: Images of Halo 4&amp;#039;s Castle Map Pack:  Black Ops 2 recently introduced micro-transactions for customisable weapon skins, reticule shapes and calling cards.
