Halo 4 had a tourney at my local gamestop leading up to midnight. I didn't go in favor of chilling with the missus for chick-fil-a, energy drinks and car-bangery at college after her night classes. Got Halo 4 that midnight, ended up finishing the campaign in six hours and skipped school the following day.
Worth it. Could you imagine the disappointment playing a H4 multi tourney locally?
Bought? It was free a few weeks ago!
But yes it's REALLY good. A lot of fun, a lot of freedom

Now I wait for MCC, and maybe play Destiny.
Get Killer Instinct or you're doing it wrong.

I've honestly been thinking about something like this for a while. Offering the xp system for those that want it, but maintaining the proper 1-50 ranking system for skill.

I mean, really, why not have both? Skill based encourages you to learn how to play the game and a progression based encourages you to keep playing more. They're both nice and I think it would work well if both were present for everyone.

Not sure what is meant by that, but I think skill-rank and experience-rank should be separate measures because they are different things.
Was about to say this myself.

Yes but you can be rank demoted if you start to lose or quit so the higher the rank, higher the skill matches.

Kinda sorta. More of a hybrid, IIRC. You only had one rank, and it was tied to both your skill and your XP.
I said the same a while back. For H4 they could have had SR1-50 for actual skill and the colonel, brigadier, general, stuff with the emblems for exp/amount of time played. So you could have someone be an SR20 and be a general, or have an SR49 and yet only be a major. Would tell you their skill and yet also tell you how long they've played the game.
Yeah that's along my thinking. To me it always made sense that the named ranks were tenure-based, essentially--Inheritor told you how much you played. A number or division bracket has always been easier to quantify for skill levels--I understand Level 50 in Halo , I understand Bronze to Diamond in StarCraft, I don't know where a Brigadier falls.

Kotaku has a nice round-up of online deals going right now for all things electronic: HERE
Some Xbox One related deals below:
Get $10 xbox digital code for pre-ordering TMCC from the Microsoft Store
Get $10 xbox ditigal code for pre-ordering Halo 5 from the MIcrosoft Store
* Any pre-ordered game works: Sunset Overdrive, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Evolve, Grand Theft Auto 5, The Division, The Crew
Xbox One Console w/ Kinect/ Forza (Game Code Only) /12 MONTH Live Card/ Destiny for $500 - very sweet deal (already a thread for it on gaming side)
Kinect-less Xbox One and free game promotion $400
Free game and $50 gift card when purchasing an Xbox One from the Microsoft Store - I think I like this one the best
I'd jump on the Halo 5 and Master Chief Collection deals from Microsoft, but I want to get my copies on the night of release. Too bad it's not digital and available for pre-loading. I'm also interested in Sid Meier's Beyond Earth. Steam required - $38 w/ promo code - 0K0EXG-959L61-WLDBL8 - I have no experience with Green Man Gaming. Are they reliable?

Little confused as to why they've made friendships a directed relationship in the Xbox One. That is someone can be my friend without me being theirs. I find it cumbersome.
At the very least I'd like a pop up notification when someone does it...

Are the Microsoft Store deals exclusive to US?

Gotta contain that BIG ego.
Actually, Frankie is a very nice, supple man.
I'm probably the one with a big ego. See, it's about me now.
Pretty sure it gives you a notification if someone follows you.

That's a good question. Honestly, I'm not sure :O
I didn't know you could combine this one. Can you also buy a budle and do this? I can't view the link at work.

Yes it works with bundles
Whaaaaat. So I can walk into a store, get a madden 15 bundle, a game, and a $50 card for $400 or w/e price the bundle is? That's nuts.
Got to sell them units

Pretty sure they were encouraging you buy a bundle in the press release lol. It's a great deal especially since it works with destiny.

Same thing I ask my friends about me.. I still don't get it. Why would anyone want to be friends with a loser who can't get over the one who got away?
RIP

It's like twitter. A person can follow you even if you don't follow them back. you can, however, set it so that you have to approve anyone who wants to follow you, which I assume is an option on the Xbox One as well.

I'm bored. Gonna go play some mario kart lol
No shoelaces....rebel.
I'm still super confused by it. I tried adding Steely this morning and it won't let me. It's probably just Xbox telling me to keep my FL free from bad players, but it's annoying regardless.

Think that's a bug, happened to me a few days ago.
