My wife berates me when I rather loudly tell a computer generated alien to go fuck itself. Apparently I do it often.

Yea my wife just got angry when they laughed at her after they killed her, which they did MANY times throughout the campaign on heroic.
See I just never talk unless I'm with Halogaf, and then I just ignore/mute kids.

My girlfriend berates me for talking massive shit to prepubescent little kids on Xbox Live.
They all deserve it, though.

I made a mistake of talking to a random dude recently, trying to explain what was going on the the TU playlist. Astoundingly, he took what I said as some sort of defense of bloom and proceeded to betray/insult me for the rest of the match. I took my mic off and placed it on the table in front of me, but I could still hear him yelling my name and how terrible I was through my headphones. It was unbelievable.
Because Reach is a terrible game.

Im also going to just stick with old graphics, but only because the input lag feels aweful on the new graphics.
Seriously if it wasnt for that I would love the new gfx mode.

If any Halo beta is tied to any Kinect game......

I think everyone is in the top 2%. I saw someone with 4000ish gamerscore in the top 2%. I have over 7000 and I'm also in the top 2% lol.

I'm not bashing Saber. Other than the Cortana/Keyes models and some audio problems I love this game.
That was more towards Syracuse, he's been riding the game pretty hard for stuff that I would have to imagine got the ok from 343. They didn't just hand Halo to Saber and say "Alright guys, change the art as you see fit!".
I'd imagine the artists/art director at 343 looked at all of the art before they said ok to it. So get ready for that Forerunner architecture in H4

Good point - there weren't that many 343i employees listed in the credits though, so I wonder to what extent they were really hands-on with the nitty, gritty details like doors.Ramirez said:

You should see this thread, people went on and on that Halo 4 might be for the next console.
Would not suprise meObviously its for 360 and 720(upscaled) and they can play together
It's been hard tearing myself away from Skyrim, but I think I'm going to try and finish my legendary run tonight.
The red elites are not the same as those in Reach, they added some silver decals that totally throws me off. When I first saw a red elite in HaloCEA, I thought of Zordon from the power rangers. =/ That's not a good thing.
lol yup, it's one of the few changes that bothers me.
MS would be stupid to not launch Halo 4 on the 360. Release Halo 4 on the 360 and use Halo 5 as a hook to entice fans to pick up a 720 (if they haven't purchased one already).

I am thinking a simultaneous launch like when they launched the 360. I remember a normal and 360 version of a few games in the transition phase
Not my vid, but I'll let my friend know.
So no one has had the loss of picture problem?

Exactly. It worked great for Halo 3. I know that if and I mean that's a big if I enjoy the story for Halo 4 and feel it lives up to the universe and games Bungie made, I'd probably pick up an Xbox 3 whenever Halo 5 was released. I'm the weak type like that.

Eh, the new version is identical in melody. The performance is slightly different in emphasis but the music is the same.

Actually, that'd be a great reason. Consistency between different mediums is vastly underrated.
Oh so false. If you want me to I can find sheet music and circle individual notes that are different. Again...it's close but saying the word 'identical' is a dangerous game.
hahaha, i remember laughing so hard and being so angry

I agree with this as that is what I did to get it as well.

Hmmmm opinions....
They pretty much threw out consistency with regards to Halo Reach and Fall of Reach using some very, very eyebrow raising explanations to try to fix those discrepancies. I'd be amazed they'd start caring now, though there is that very awesome Fall of Reach reference in Halo CEA so maybe they have changed their tune.
Of course there is the other extreme, Gears of War 3, where you're actively punished for not reading the extra material and left with characters who pop out of nowhere or who return from the dead (but not really since they came back in a book!).
Really? SHIT. I spent a YEAR loving that game.. FOR WHAT?! I feel happily betrayed.
I'm jealous of people who really love Reach. I miss loving (current) Halo mp.
Let me restate that, Reach is a terrible Halo game. Make believe that it's not in the Halo universe and it's a good MP game compared to most of the tripe that is the alternative.

Reach is an amazing game. There. I had to counter that one dude. I feel better about this thread now.

reach beta was tons more fun then retail, no idea why maybe I burned out of armour lock or something.
I also hate DMR starts, AR and pistol starts for life yo! shame they are so damn rare online.

How are you guys beating this on Legendary? I'm stuck on Halo at the first drop off encounter. The Elites take so many damn bullets and you have so little health...
Plasma pistol plus Magnum FTW?
Perhaps something about it ruined it for you, but feel that each Halo game can be different and still be a Halo game in spirit. We shouldn't get too far off topic tho
Actually slightly on topic. I wonder if these discussion terrify the 343i guys. Nothing can be harder than trying to innovate and satisfy your base at the same time.SPEAK TO US OF TERROR, 343ies.

343I is a pretty cool guy, he changes the design of the Halo ring and doesn't afraid of anything.

I demand that the Halo 4 magnum use the same draw animation as Halo CE's. I can literally keep switching to the magnum and never get bored.

Yeah, that helps, but the dam elites charge you and there's really nothing I can do.
I just finished 'Truth and Reconciliation', man what a fantastic level. A few chokepoints for me, but this was the first level for me that really made me remember how good the covenant AI was.
I'm playing the game pretty slowly since I'm taking a break between each level (playing Heroic), but it's so fucking good so far. No wonder I fell in love with it all those years ago.

I absolutely love the animation and sound with the rocket launcher too. Any down time I had while I was carrying it was spent switching weapons. Pistol and rocket switching = GOD TIER

I really think that Halo 4 take some serious inspiration from Halo CE when looking at weapons. All the weapon draw animations are fantastic and pretty much every weapon is useful without much if any overlap. So much fluff and overlap in the later games.

Halo CE's shotgun draw is also super quick, awesome when you have to switch to it quickly.

Listening to the OST right now and why are the tracks in such a strange order? Seems logical to me that they be in order of appearance in the game but you got tracks from like 343 Guilty Spark near the beginning. Very strange.

Forever one of the very reasons i Hate Halo 2 for this.
I loved the feel of the Hog in Halo:CE. In Halo 2 it felt like a sports car.

That's one of the subtle touches to weapons I appreciate Bungie for adding in both CE and Reach.
Having a unique reloading animation for a partially empty vs completely empty clip, a unique equipping animation for picking up a weapon vs switching to it, and so on are all awesome and should be implemented for Halo 4. It makes the weapons more 'alive' and real.
I'd like a nice kick-back to the weapons, too.
