ITS DELICIOUS! Nice work on the OT!

 

[Silly.Mikey]

Wait, I knew of the changes to CTF but when was it stated there would be no 1 flag? Please, no. That was my favorite objective gametype.

It might not be there at launch, but i dont see why they couldnt add it later on. Im assuming the dept of the custom game settings are still there.

 

[Overdoziz]

To OP, here are the armors for MP
(Sorry it's really long)

You could've just linked them or put them side by side, Jesus.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Well I found mine. I will not play MP till I beat legendary. Every single other piece of armor looks like shit except this one.

Halo 4 Limited Edition Xbox 360 - $349.99
Halo 4 Limited Edition - $99.99
Halo 4 Warhead 7.1 Wireless Surround Headset - $299.99
Halo 4 Collector's Edition: Prima Official Game Guide - $39.99

I'm trying to justify my purchases by saying I got the Warhead 7.1 Wireless Surround Headset for free by trading in unwanted things to Gamestop, the Prima Official Game Guide for $24.99 on Amazon, and the Limited Edition copy of the game because I plan on giving my brother the regular edition that comes with the console.

I don't have a Xbox 360 so this isn't a second purchase. Oh and I picked up the LE of Forza Horizon. Can't wait.

$789.96 total, minus the trades...

That is dedication.

Do we know when the embargo lifts?

 

[Silly.Mikey]

Do we know when the embargo lifts?

Tonight midnight i think. IGN has a review at 12:01am.

 

[The Librarian]

I wish we could've gotten the whole armor back rather than just the helmet and outer areas.

 

[Miles X]

Do we know when the embargo lifts?

13 hours~

 

[Primethius]

All those armor sets are way too... busy. Some of the helmets are pretty bad too. I loved the designs in 3/Reach but none of these feel distinctly Spartan to me.

 

[Redford]

Guys I'm looking to get a hard drive before this game drops. Are those $30 - $50 360 hard drives on Amazon legit? Or should I just go the flash drive route?

An extension of this question: are there and read/write speed thresholds that you need to cross for a USB drive to be adequate for the MP?

 

[Silly.Mikey]

Youre crazy, the Venator one is badass. Like a ninja!

 

[Homeboyd]

I fuckin' love herpes. I already know which shoulder piece I'm choosing.

Don't you just want to chew on them?! I do....

about the review embargo: dont expect any campaign footage in the video reviews (if there are any). giantbomb said there will be no campaign/spartan ops footage until november 6th.

Bleh, tired of people droning about Halo 2 and the old MC armor. We get it, 2004 was the best.

That is awesome. I prefer reviews this way.

When's 2.0 launch?

 

[CyReN]

about the review embargo: dont expect any campaign footage in the video reviews (if there are any). giantbomb said there will be no campaign/spartan ops footage until november 6th.

Under the embargo we got it says:

Direct feed is permitted of Spartan Ops gameplay only; maximum of 90 sec per Spartan Ops mission. Live streaming is not permitted.

Spartan Ops CGI episodes is not permitted

Plot details of Spartan Ops story

Frankie/David can you clarify if it's that date?

When's 2.0 launch?

When our web guy stops coding. I want it to be today.

 

[p3tran]

fantastic op! bravo guys!

p.s.
maybe a friend will make a magic trick and

Spoiler

I will have the game tomorrow w0000t!

 

[ElNino]

Wish I knew how rare they were going to be :\

Is the LE really going to be that hard to get? I have both the LE and regular edition pre-ordered through different deals, but I'm thinking of returning the LE as it doesn't appear to worth the almost $60 difference to me ($40+tax vs $90+tax). Even if I buy the War Games Pass (which I probably will), it's still basically $30 for a different Steelbook case and extended FUD.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

You will be good to go.. had all 4 of mine pulled a year ago and they were IN deep .. I was fully able to game for hours afterwards and of course the built in excuse to game is great.

That is a perfect scenario to sit at home, on drugs, and play Halo. Damn you for your ingenuity of schedule such a procedure at such a time!

The timing was intentional. I burned too much vacation time going to PAX and NYCC (and need to save for Christmas). Now I get enough time on the 6th to play through the Campaign without drugs/pain, but still get the 7th-9th to "recover" and play War Games. (Not to mention the three-day weekend that immediately follows thanks to Veteran's Day.)

Hopefully I don't have to deal with a broken jaw or some other complication . (One of my wisdom teeth is definitely impacted.)

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I'm a little late getting here, but great OT! Now to catch up...


Btw, isn't that livestream happening soon?

30 minutes. http://www.twitch.tv/343industries

 

[feel]

Aw yeah, only 6 more days of playing Reach.

You still play Reach frequently in 2012? You poor soul.

 

[paischtu]

What will they show in the livestream?

 

[BigTnaples]

You still play Reach frequently in 2012? You poor soul.

Great game...

 

[Ryan_IGN]

Hype to the max! Less than one week to go, OMG.

Also, this image is sort of blowing my mind:

If that's an actual map, wow. Do want.

Just FYI that's concept art from the "Wreckage" DLC map, not a screenshot.

 

[enzo_gt]

To OP, here are the armors for MP
(Sorry it's really long)

That's a fuckload of armors. By my calculations, that's the greatest number of non-terribad looking armors in a Halo game yet.

GOTY

 

[Trey]

Great game...

Agreed.

 

[Kajiba]

I'm never going to get used to that CIO helmet lol.

Funky looking.

 

[Zoolader]

Great game...

maybe, but it was a bad Halo game.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

maybe, but it was a bad Halo game.

Na it wasnt, the maps were. I have an amazing time playing on the new headlong. You put in good maps and the game is great.

 

[Toddler]

Sweet OP. Taking the day off for Halo 4. Haven't done that in a long time.

I took the week off B)

 

[feel]

Defender has gotta be the worst, that anime face..

Just realized there's multiple footwear options, nice.

Na it wasnt, the maps were. I have an amazing time playing on the new headlong. You put in good maps and the game is great.

Nah, it's pretty bad all around.

 

[Sanjuro]

I already redeemed my Locus armor DLC, however the operator doesn't look bad.

Still want my Mark V damnit.

 

[kittens]

Na it wasnt, the maps were. I have an amazing time playing on the new headlong. You put in good maps and the game is great.

Maps, bloom, slow movement, low jump height, terrible vehicle physics...

 

[orznge]

lol that the maps described as "small" arena are apparently best suited to 4v4 play

 

[The P of Poland]

Great game...

This is HaloGaf blasphemy.

Shame on you.

SHAME ON YOU.

 

[exYle]

I already redeemed my Locus armor DLC, however the operator doesn't look bad.

That's DLC?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Maps, bloom, slow movement, low jump height, terrible vehicle physics...

Which boiled down to this...

 

[Zoolader]

lol that the maps described as "small" arena are apparently best suited to 4v4 play

Yeah small maps are gonna need alota love from the forging community!

 

[Retro]

To OP, here are the armors for MP
(Sorry it's really long)

/sniff.... RIP CQB. Been using that for as long as there have been Armor Permutations.

 

[Overdoziz]

Bloom ruins the game. Zero bloom Reach can be awesome, but even at 85% bloom the game just becomes unbearable at times.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

Maps, bloom, slow movement, low jump height, terrible vehicle physics...

The only thing id agree that i find hampers my experience is the maps and the bloom, but only cause i hate those dmr only game-types. The rest sure, it isn't perfect but its far from game breaking. I have a lot of fun playing when the map is good. A lot of them in Reach arent good and that to me is a much bigger issue.

 

[EteRnal PAL]

Those armors... wow. Hype rising...

 

[Sanjuro]

That's DLC?

I'm not sure if it's exclusive, but I redeemed it.

 

[kittens]

/sniff.... RIP CQB. Been using that for as long as there have been Armor Permutations.

Hey, it's you!

Long time no see, good to have ya back!
