Halo 4 weapon sounds are amazing. Makes every encounter feel 100x more intense.
This point system is so fucking annoying sometimes.
Anyway, game is the best Halo ever, but whoever let the Warthog sound go through is fucking crazy.
I don't think this counts as spoilers because the character appears in a lot of pre-release media, including the books. If you're referring to Del Rio, (Thursday War spoilers)
he's basically a no-name crony hired by the UNSC navy that Admiral Parangosky (of ONI) considered a safe choice and basically used to appease Admiral Hood. Lasky, on the other hand, was hired specifically by Parangosky for ONI's purposes.

God damn these server issues.
In 4 hours I managed to get in 4 games in MM.
I hope it's fixed by tomorrow.

It's always like this with a huge launch for a multiplayer game.

Is GameStop not selling the map pack? I'm pretty sure they're able to offer XBL direct codes now for a variety of DLC.
Edit: Yup, they sell it directly: http://www.gamestop.com/dlc/halo-4-map-pass-xbox-360-live-marketplace-2000-points/104749. I'm sure you go into a retail store and get a code printed on your receipt too.
Yup, it really slows the campaign down. It's not unusual to shoot, hear/see nothing then shoot again and see two shots.

Is there any way to get my offline campaign progress to show up on my service record?

Have a really weird issue with my xbox whereby I can launch it and do all the menu stuff but when I try and connect to campaign it loads the Cinematic fine but actually loading gameplay throws me back to the menu screen with no error. It's definitely the xbox aswell since we were trying to system link & the other disc gave the same situation whereas my disc worked on his xbox. Very strange, no idea what could be causing it. Xbox plays other games fine.

I'm not getting the praise for the graphics. It's such a visually inconsistent game. The Phantoms looks like something out of a PS2 game, anything that isn't in the immediate play area looks blurry as hell, and the animations for the Covenant seem to have regressed (as well as the AI).
Honestly, Reach is a better looking game in most aspects.

I am finding Promethean weapons to be really, really weak in Heroic single player and it constantly causes me to see the "scavenge for weapons" message.
Other than that, I'm not 100% sure what the current goal is other than follow-the-waypoint.

It's not just that. Halo 3's launch felt like an absolutely massive event, perhaps the biggest gaming launch ever. I haven't felt that with Reach or 4.
Really? I used them almost exclusively towards the end of the game. Thought they worked rather well.
You've done hit your head lol.
When did PS2 have modern shaders? Or even shaders comparable to XBox/GC?
Even the plasma pistol sounds awesome to shoot. The sounds in the game are amazing

I stand by what I said about Binary rifle Knights. Continuously deflecting shots at the last second with the hardlight shield... fucking exhilarating!
To be fair I don't think I've felt that any gaming event has topped that.
And you guys weren't kidding about the Warthog, holy hell it sounds like fucking garbage now. It sounds exactly like the RC toy Warthog I got as a gift 4-5 years ago. Wooooow, what the fuck. All of the other sound stuff is fucking great, how was this given the okay?
While is certainly is aliased and the flickering inside buildings can be a bit much, I think PS2 game models stretches it a bit. I would say the general praise goes towards the art direction, I really dig the look of it, looks like the scifi opera I always wanted it to be.
NO! The Warthog sounds mean! lol

Nah, I'm just not a fanboy. Go to the first level and look out the window when you see the Covenant fleet for the first time. It looks like ass.
It's an exaggeration, but it definitely does not look good.
Not all the models look bad, but next time you see a Phantom, pay really close attention to it.
Really? I think the Light Rifle is the best rifle in the game, the Scattershot is awesome, and Boltshot makes a very handy shotgun in a pinch (let alone the Binary Rifle and Incineration Canon). My experience on Heroic is that the knights are just too damn strong. I crack the shields but I can't score the immediate headshot kill? Boo!
And yeah, objectives sometimes are really obscure. The best storytelling here occurs during the cutscenes and when Cortana shows off her personality rather than just an aloof mission objective giver.
On some aspects I agree. The alien vehicle detail and glow looked so much better in reach. Halo 3 too.

This game looks rather good even with jaggies here and there, I love reach but I will take this over the blurry AA they used before.
I have only played multi and not seen all the maps yet but it's really impressive when 16 spartans are running around doing all kinds of business and the game keeps on going at a smooth and steady beat, and ragnarok looks stunning in this game.

Lasky is an ONI guy if you read The Thursday War in the battle to name the Captain he was Parangosky's choice for XO, so it is no wonder he took the the chair when the shit hit the fan.

Servers certainly have went to shit compared to earlier. Just entered two straight games of dominion were within 1 minute of playing, got booted out to a team screen with "starting game" showing. Had to dashboard both times.
Ahh, of course. Thanks!

I'm loading into games fine, but it isn't recording my stats in Waypoint. I hope it's just that it takes a while, because I've had some pretty good games to start out with.

When Borderlands 2 launched, I couldnt play co-op because of the incredibly bad lag. Took them a couple days to get it right. Let's not pretend this is a problem with Halo 4 only.
