Used. damn.
Forgot how dark the roots of Halo was.

 

[Vire]

If only they could get any Nylund to write for the series... Fall of Reach isn't just a video game novel, it's a good book period.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

No "Fall of Reach Animated Series" OT? Someone do it some justice please. Watching the first episode while working, Nylund would be proud.

 

[BeforeU]

that first episode was AWESOME. omg love it love it love it.

sad that lot of people will miss out on this and play game and won't know shit

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Crappy animation aside, Jen Taylor blows away the other voice actors in that Fall of Reach thing.

 

[EchoChamber]

I need mah Halo's

 

[DOWN]

I have a case of Game Fuel ready for my replay of the entire Chief storyline YAAASSSSS

Mountain Dew actually officially sells it year round in bottles via Amazon

but now it is in stores for BlOps3

That was much better than I thought it would be. Actually, it was great.

Would have been cool if they portrayed a few of these scenes in a Halo game

 

[Poodlestrike]

Yeah... not super digging the Fall of Reach animated series. They kinda screwed the pacing, and some of the changes are pretty weak. The "what's the highest rank I can get" scene was really forced. And that's not even talking about the animation

I'll still watch the rest of it, of course, but the perfect adaptation dream remains somewhere in the distance.

 

[JDHarbs]

The Fall of Reach is still the best story to come out of the Halo universe (games & books included) in my opinion.

So glad to see it given the animated treatment. Hopefully the series does it justice.

 

[Vire]

Yep, it's night and day between her and the other incredibly awful performances.

Thankfully, the game fairs better on the VA front.

 

[victreeb3l]

I need this dude to make me a Master Chief suit.

 

[RebornYeti]

Man, I guessed that last letter of the Standard Edition code they gave away on my first try, but I was still too slow.

I think it would be hard to even do the book justice in a full 2 hour movie.

 

[Bread]

Woah Steve Downes confirmed he is retiring in that VO round table. So Halo 5 is the last game with his voice and he's got

Spoiler

three missions

.

Damn, are we gonna get a David Batter situation in 3 years?

Edit: lol batter I'm leaving that one

 

[victreeb3l]

ITS DONE INSTALLING

LETS DO THIS

Retiring from his radio hosting gig. Jeez relax people.

Downes could probably record all his lines for a Halo game in a week anyway. I doubt he'll stop anytime soon.

 

[BraXzy]

The announcer definitely says Round One when you win. Not Round Won.

 

[JigglesBunny]

If you turn the number 5 upside down it kinda looks like a 2

Halo 5=Halo 2?

Bad campaign and amazing multiplayer?
Yup.
It's Halo 2, alright.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Well, that's... kind of the advantage of serialized episodic story telling. You can do longer stories.

Duh.

Duh.

Yea....but then you're looking at something like Nightfall happening to that story.

 

[Random17]

Yup.

Halo 2's campaign is light years ahead of Halo 3 and 5 in terms of story lol

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

My god this shit was delicious.

THIS Gamer Fuel was the best

 

[Pattycakes]

Damn couldn't that Req Bundle code

 

[malfcn]

This dude from Digg still around?

 

[Isocr4cy]

People worried about the Steve Downes 'retirement' announcement: Watch this before freaking out

 

[SmartWaffles]

Round Won and Round Lost, round number announcement came before each round.

 

[Digital Savior]

Wow really? Thats a bit weird that you cant drop down to different groups. I didnt get one positive k/d ratio in the 10 games, my brother was about 5.0 and we were both ranked the same. Odd.

If you played the games together, you both won/lost the same number of matches vs the same level skilled opponents.

He boosted ya!

 

[Flintty]

I started playing at midnight, thinking I'd play Hc story mode as usual. Got hooked on Warzone. Two hour later...

Damn, I want to keep playing but need sleep.

Damn why did I read that spoiler

 

[Ol No Bones]

Halo 2's campaign is light years ahead of Halo 3 and 5 in terms of story lol

Lol. Now this is humor.

 

[Random17]

Lol. Now this is humor.

Ah Halo 3, full of plot holes and character assassinations.

Halo 2 is light years ahead, yes. If only for the Covenant's side of the story.

 

[Sojgat]

This is taking forever to download.

Fuck my life.

 

[Pattycakes]

Can someone let me know when the mission 2 highlight is over on the live stream?

 

[Compsiox]

I was so hyped for Halo 3 that I actually bought a pack of this nasty ass sodie pop.

I was so sad when this got thrown out. I had it for 3 years then my mom threw it out.

 

[Chorazin]

Damn why did I read that spoiler

Yeah, I did the same thing. Figured it would be a joke, not an actual spoiler.

 

[malfcn]

My BBY isn't doing midnight release. -_-

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

They doing another mission walkthrough? Go Dark.

 

[victreeb3l]

Just started the first mission on SP. Holy shit this game looks beautiful.

I havent really watched any of the MP or gameplay videos so I'm pretty surprised at the new aiming. I like it.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

Fuck.

Best Buy just let me know that they didn't get enough LE's for preorders for launch, but they'll have the rest on Wednesday.

Guess I didn't need to play tomorrow then....

 

[JTripper]

Fuck.

Dang, I would be bummed.

Thankfully I decided on the standard edition even though I usually get LE for every Halo game. This one just didn't seem worth it considering the content.

 

[DTLIONS1013]

Anyone know what percentage you need to install before you can play? Got 13% in 2.5 hours and getting the feeling I'm not gonna be playing tonight

 

[Malo]

I'm at 75% and it hasn't popped up for me yet.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Fuck.

Guess I didn't need to play tomorrow then....

Are they giving you ANYTHING to compensate for this? Dude I would raise hell so hard if my BestBuy did this to me. LIke, I want a free Standard Edition, so I can play this now like I'm suppose to, and I want $50 off my Collectors Edition, or like a $25 Gift Card.

 

[Jonesy7707]

Can someone let me know when the mission 2 highlight is over on the live stream?

It's now safe to return.

Man crush alert on Live Event!
