Any pictures of the Flood from singleplayer?
Yeah, thats always something that bums me out about the remasters.
I wanna see that thing in motion.
But yeah, this is awesome. It actually looks like the Flood.
I miss the gloomy sky. Anniversary has a totally different atmosphere.

I dunno. I really liked the claw on the Halo 4 Flood, and how parts of them popped out of the armor (whereas here the armor is pretty much fine except up top like they just squeezed him.) Still, it looks far more like "classic Flood" than H4's incarnation, and the infection form is there, so that's cool.
Eh, grass would be awesome... but at least you can still just merge in trees and fake some of it like Forge Island.
There was nothing wrong with the Halo 4 model. They're both pretty terrifying, I like them both equally.

The fact that H4's model limited you to not being able to pick or equip weapons made it worse.
I did, I started up my Halo 4 yesterday night and I immediately got so many achievements that added up to like 730 gamerscore. Didn't check if I had the achievements or not, just ignored it and played.
Go to "my games & apps" and sort by size. If it's ~59GB, it updated.

Nothing changed. They added precision editing to Halo 4's Forge though.

Yessssssssssss, awesome, thanks man
Haha, you flatter me JD, we both know I can't do everything
this week
edit: in all seriousness though, bookmarked!
Cant wait to contribute, I hope some of you gaffers get into the remake game again, Im always willing to help build out or polish!
Yeah, mine says 45, so i guess its not yet.
Thanks!!
Wow, after reading that this was a misleading hype/hope. Is Halo ce even going to be ranked?
This is quite a let down that only one playlist is ranked... I dont understand how the skill based matchmaking still works for the others behind the scenes, but the ranks arent turned on yet??
Flip the damn switch.

I believe the plan is to eventually rank a majority of the playlists, CE included.
You have it set to Instant-On in power settings and to automatically download updates? It updated while the console was off (instant-on mode) here.
I do. Maybe it hasnt rolled out to Texas yet.

So one thing I discovered last night...played some Halo 4...(it's been a while)
Didn't hate it. :/
I did forget Sprint existed until about half way through the game though.

This might already have been asked and answered but is shield damage bleed through in H2A MP?
Also any word if Halo 1's netcode is ported over from the PC or is it actually reworked?
I would check on the gaming side but that review thread is just.... :/

I could test it out to get a solid answer later on, but I believe it's there.
No idea on the netcode.
Still can't figure out why there isn't a MCC bundle. Even if it's just a Microsoft Store fake bundle. They can't be expecting the Halo fans to double dip and buy a new Halo branded console next year for Halo 5 - anyone that really wants Halo games is going to already own an Xbox One for the MCC.
Makes no sense to me.

Many reviewers would probably give CS 1.6 7/10 because it doesn't have respawns.
Haven't really gotten used to them. In SO they seem to pulse when there are enemies in front of you, but it feels kind of awkward.
Oh Lord lol, so true.
Im gonna laugh my ass off when population numbers show h2 as tge hughest played abd im will to wager h4 being lowest.

There's no population numbers this time around.

Still haven't received the 20gb update...
I ended up uninstalling and then installing again.

I really don't want to do that.
MS needs to add a force update or check install thing. This sucks.
Right before I got the update, I did the system update that was available. I don't know if that helped at all.
They provided enough feedback for me to be able to turn off all breaking/traction assistance in Forza 5 and stay on the track.

Have you tried turning your Xbox completely off for an hour or two? Not stand by mode, completely off. It worked for me (no idea why).

I'll try that when I leave home for today.
Game comes out Monday night here and that's when I'd like to play it.
No, they pulse whenever you fire a weapon and what's the most useful is that the triggers warn you of incoming obstacles (bombs, acid,..) on the rail you're grinding on.

"And while the multiplayer options are as bountiful as the rest of the package, its a bit of a shock to find out that you cant actually run in any of the games except Halo 4."
Never going to that website again.
And if its not

Salt happened
H2A will be the only playlist with visible ranks at launch because they want to test the ranking system.

Personally its just the godawful netcode. Worked fine in my office Lan plays. Absolutely garbage over the internet.
Edit Just realized that post is like 5 pages old. D'oh.

Hmm. No likey.
Thinking about it further too, 343 is making a blunder for the newer player base by not including ranks day 1. So what you have is tens of thousands of hard core players picking the game up as soon as possible and looking to rank up. They would theoretically rank up and out of playing newer players. Newer players would then be pared with similarly skilled individuals. Instead we'll have a cluster of skill ranges playing each other only to alienate a new player base when they get slaughtered.
Who knows, maybe that hidden skill rank will take care of it. Wish we had more information on that.
