[Hey You]

They did leave 50 points left on the the amount of achievement points that Reach can have.

That's a good sign. Meaning they haven't outright decided to not release on DLC.

Hell, I'll take new maps with no achievements, I just want to keep my reach experience fresh until H4.

Will this Halo finally allow players to turn the music off?

Why would you want to?

Without the excellent music, Halo isn't HALO.
Well, at least to me.

 

[FateBreaker]

Will this Halo finally allow players to turn the music off?

What?

 

[kittens]

I normally turn off music in all my games, but for some reason it's never bugged me in Halo. Music is just so suiting.

No idea why you'd want to, but if it works like any other 360 game: put on a custom soundtrack or something on the xbox music player, then pause the song. Your game should then only have sound effects and dialogue.

 

[Flipyap]

Oh, come on. The lack of any kind of audio/volume options in Bungie Halo games was laughable (and then there's the trollish message and muted voices when you tried to use custom soundtracks in Halo 3...).

Isn't that still the case with Halo: Reach? I haven't used custom soundtracks for years.

 

[Flipyap]

No idea. I'd be afraid to check, because what if Martin O'Donnell has found a way to make 360s explode upon activation of that feature? You know he'd do it, if he could.

I know Marty can be a pompous jackass, but this comment would send him over the edge.

C'mon man, Halo's score was gold.

He signed my poster. He also talked to me for at least a minute. I thought he was pretty classy.

 

[heckfu]

A lot of people I don't recognize are just coming in here blasting Halo. Turn the music off, really?

This is sarcasm right?

 

[infinityBCRT]

Heh. I want the opposite. I've always wanted Halo music in the multiplayer.

 

[Flipyap]

This is embarrassing. The dude asked a reasonable question about a feature that was missing from previous games. That doesn't mean he hates the music and/or all of Halo.

 

[FateBreaker]

Heh. I want the opposite. I've always wanted Halo music in the multiplayer.

Yeah, me too! Frankie, at least consider this.

Surely you jest Batman.

 

[Zeal]

He signed my poster. He also talked to me for at least a minute. I thought he was pretty classy.

And he also gave my wife a nice little wave and a smile after the panel, but his reputation for being an egomaniac still precedes him.

Speaking of music, god do I love the new sound of Halo 4. It reminds me of something Stanley Kubrick would have in 2001, along with some Inception thrown in for good measure.

 

[Hellish]

Anyone else going to the Assasins Creed midnight launches to buy this and not assasins creed lol.

Glad I was beaten to this post. Certainly wouldn't want to do it myself, but to each their own. More power given to the player to customise their play experience the better.

Just you wait and see the what happens when Eurogamer gives Halo CEA an 8/10.

 

[Domino Theory]

I'm going to both. Heading to Valley Fair for the midnight launch event then drive down the street to pick up my copy of AC: R.

 

[malfcn]

I have it pre-ordered. can't decide if I want to keep it. :/

since when was this a reasonable place to express feelings?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I'm not sure if that would be worse than a 9/10, since you just know that would elicit all sorts of unwanted Uncharted 3 comparisons.

You can just wait a week and half and get it for $34.99 at Best Buy for black friday.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Been watching some of Devin's stream. The visuals are insane, the game looks great. Really looking forward to playing through it.

Why did they change the reticle on the sniper?

Yeah, that's what I'll be doing.

I agree. I just want this--now!

Exactly.

lmao @ legendary.

I gave up, that was waaaaaaaaaaay to hard for me.

SP Legendary is not fun to watch.

They gave the original an 8.

Already have it paid off via trade-ins months ago so I'm good. That's a great deal for anyone remotely considering AC: R, though.

Should've had a Euro team do the driving controls. Instant 10.

If you like Halo: Combat Evolved, you won't be disappointed. It's a lovely created package for a bargain price.

That were those times, where a 8 was a 8.

TIME TO RAGEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Teknoman]

But games with awesome soundtracks

Anyone else going to the Assasins Creed midnight launches to buy this and not assasins creed lol.

This and Ultimate Marvel.

 

[Sean]

Why would you want to?

Maybe because Halo's music is for old farts. Violin and drums, monks chanting... Really? It's the kind of lame classical music that plays when you're waiting on hold for customer service or standing in an elevator.

I think everyone will agree that Breaking Benjamin did the best track in the entire Halo series. It's just too bad Microsoft couldn't afford real musicians like that to completely re-imagine the soundtrack with epic guitar riffs and solos. I'm hoping they'll finally get the music right with Halo 4 now that Marty is gone.

 

[Tashi]

Too obvious

 

[TheOddOne]

Too obvious

No shit

 

[Choc]

Embargo is up for this @ 6am pacific tommorow.

I have had access to it and you are in for a treat.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Oh I don't know, I liked the "EPIC guitar riffs and solos" part

Good, bad or suprising?

 

[clav]

Is the grunt skull and avatar armor a pre-order exclusive?

Seems like they are included in every box.

getoutforever.gif

Yeah, that's nice.

Don't know what the big deal is...I just like turning music off and having all of the sound effects blasting through my 7.1. It's a gripe I have for Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3, too. Turned the music off in Skyrim and the game's sound work is fantastic.

I sometimes leave music on during Campaigns, but I've played Halo CE already. Wanna just hear the sounds of the guns, vehicles and environments.

 

[Tashi]

No shit

I would have done a better job lol

Also, it's :lol not linking to that gif.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Curious. I'd go read the review but their new layout is atrocious and I can't find anything without a minimal amount of effort so eff that.

That said, I actually thought their Uncharted 3 review was well done and positively criticized certain aspects while giving due praise for others.

The orginal Halo score was also re-recorded at Skywalker Ranch
