Have to wait, only people who digitally preloaded already will have access to the patch as of tonight. (As I'm sitting here just waiting for the patch to get pushed to my system)

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, but I downloaded the patch, waited until it was at 100%, and then booted up. This is what greets me when I try to play H2A, H3, H4, and Forge/Theater or Matchmaking.

Destiny did something similar on the PS4, upon completion, I started up the game and was greeted with an installation screen that lasted like 2 more hours. The only reason I don't know if it was on xbox was because I started the xbox as I started the PS4's and started playing it as soon as I could.

 

[RoKKeR]

Alright so the patch hasn't downloaded as far as I can tell and the image for the MCC in the games and apps folder has mysteriously disappeared... any idea what's going on here?

I preloaded Destiny on PS4 and this didn't happen to me.

So this guy is streaming and he showed Halo 3 armor customization, it's armor sets and it doesn't look like you can edit each piece unfortunately. They have an option for Hayabusa with Katana and also a set with recon and the flaming helmet. Here's a link to his stream. http://www.twitch.tv/gameguypgh

Yeah... the teleporter shader kinda gave it away. I just hope they fixed the netcode.

Okay, I'm pissed with the Halo 3 armor "set" bullshit.

Yes, I sound greedy, but I'm not asking for a lot here. At least I don't think I am.

Spoiler

The Bungie chest set almost makes up for it.

Trust me, you're not alone. There's not that many armor sets in Halo 3 and having the ability to set each piece would make it so much better. I honestly don't mind if Halo 4 just has sets, but I really wish Halo 3 didn't.

You don't sound greedy for expecting something that was in the original game. I REALLY hope they patch that shit in. Also I imagine this also means that the Halo 4 DLC armor isn't in either, just like the IGN stream.

 

[Mix]

bloodline looks fantastic now versus when it was revealed, it's like they added the color edits people were mocking up.

EDIT: Looks like you can zoom in on the silenced SMGs

*throws grenade* "whoops, tried to aim down sights". "Oh wow, there is no recoil when firing".

You can tell he's a call of duty player.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Multiplayer is under embargo until Friday, so I won't be postin' any of that. :O

 

[Fahzgoolin]

gf agreed to play through the Halo campaigns and let me teach her my scrub ways in multi once MCC comes out

LOLOLOLOLOL! You made me crack up in the middle of a conversation with my wife lol she laughed too. Haha

 

[RoKKeR]

Argh... they keep moving it back. Aren't the reviews supposed to be out Friday?

Also load-times are loooooooong, damn.

Edit: Steitzer's voice in H2A....eesh, it's too much.

splitscreen

Unfortunately no option for vertical split.

wonder if its something they could add in a patch

 

[GreyWind]

The streamer is going through all the blank forge canvas.

 

[Mix]

looks like the three forge spaces are Skyward, Nebula, and Awash.

Skyward is the Zenith skybox, floating above a Halo. Nebula is set in space inside an asteroid belt, no land or anything, just space and Awash was shown off in the IGN forge video.

 

[Computron]

deathbine in/out?

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

lol did that elite just walk on water.

Never mind haha. He's showing Nebula now.

Yep just got a picture of it
EDIT: Beaten!

 

[Madness]

Wow at that Nebula skybox! Can't wait to see what people come out with in the new Forge.

 

[ZalinKrow]

I guess what confuses me a bit about the armour being locked as a set now instead of having the ability to mix and match pieces is that it's sort of a mixed message to what they were saying about player identity in the last bulletin (Just with having everything unlocked from the get-go to emphasise an importance on player identity etc). I mean, I've always been quite fond of playing around with that stuff, and really at the end of the day I'm more about the game play, but it's just that small loss of individuality that's a bit disappointing.

Super excited about the game though. Can't believe how close it is. I will most likely be splitscreening with Hydra (until he gets a damn Xbone lol) so I'm hoping everything runs okay on that front.

I should ruin every stream for everyone by offering 100$ free to any superjump

hours and hours of failed superbouncing attempts

 

[RoKKeR]

Damn you guys are fast, Nebula looks awesome.

Also the menu music... mmmmmm.

 

[GringoSuave89]

vertical split is the devil

 

[Granadier]

I don't think this patch even exists.

 

[HTupolev]

Unfortunately no option for vertical split.

Really?

Halo 2's top-bottom split was never great (they reduced vertical view drastically compared with the single-screen views, unusual for a Halo game), but at least the horizontal real estate keeps the game feeling vaguely playable. By contrast, the left-right split that you got in 16:9 had by far the lowest horizontal FoV in the series, even beating out Halo 3's 4:3 view by a fair margin, and is just generally a catastrophe.

You *could* crank up the FoV and wind up with a bonkers-looking image with gigantic horizontal view, but I doubt any console dev would go for it.

 

[Madness]

Never mind, I actually was in the right state of mind. Seems like the sniper reticule in CE is fixed and is how it should be now.

 

[Kibbles]

... You can't customize your spartan like you could in 3?

 

[Madness]

... You can't customize your spartan like you could in 3?

You can't mix and match. Only straight sets ie. MK V, Hayabusa. No using like MK VI helmet, but security shoulders etc.

 

[RoKKeR]

Halo 3 armor:

Halo 4 has 38 variants.

 

[Pennybags]

Haha that Lord Hood avatar is gonna be mine. His disgusting dogmeat face will be displayed prominently.

Holy shit, I swear the Halo 3 security set looks different. The arms and antenna seem changed.

Edit: I'm insane.

So if I've already preloaded it digitally, will it just update? Then I'm all set i guess! TEAM 1201 here i come!
