google is failing me, going to play some reach system link tonight. Somebody seems to think it is max 2 persons per console. Is that the case?
because if that's the case, it's a really stupid case.
I'm talking about deathmatch, not co-op or campaign, I understand those modes are most definitely max 2 person

thanks odd
well I got fud loaded so fuck it waiting all month is too long...
That's the spirit!
It's 4 player split screen.
It's restricted in some matchmaking modes to reduce frame rate drops but you can do however many you want in customs.
Thanks will watch now
:lol oooh Frankie.
:lol excellent
Yes, 4-player local and online.
Will the Forward Unto Dawn OST be released? I assume it will as the Halo Legends one did.

So am I correct in that the pre-order bonuses are actually just armor skins and not the armor itself? So all of those armor sets are in the game already (or have to be unlocked) and all you get for pre-ordering is the design on them?

It's not been made very clear, but I believe that is the case. The only armor that is exclusive are the helmets that come with the Season Pass.
more like Lex Luthor.
And didn't someone at 343 allude to the idea that all armor would be ulockable over time? As in the armor/helmets that are "exclusive" at launch can be earned a few years down the road. Something about helping the OCD completionists find peace...

I was actually pretty impressed by FUD - cant wait to see more. For a introductory episode it was pretty gripping.
Got to say im not a fan of the militaristic UNSC - would be really shitty to get sent to military school with those guys in control lol.

I felt the beginning was a bit "cheesy", but it definitely got better as it went on. Also, just noticed the Asian guy is Kevin from Supernatural
I would never ever want I live in the Halo universe but I certainly see why it is the way it is.
(Anyone who doesn't want to live in Star Trek is crazy. You get to choose whatever job you want, can get beamed anywhere, and can replicate any food and recreate any environment. UNSC creates holodecks to pretend kill people; Starfleet creates holodecks for R&R.
How expensive is CE? An what's its compatibility with Windows 7? Been meanin to get a Windows license for boot camping some old games.

Really wish Frank would have gotten a few HaloGaffers as extras in FUD.
Heckfu and I were ready for our breakout roles as cadet #106 and #245.

Isn't the FOTUS armor set exclusive to the Halo 4 LE Console? That would be another exclusive.
there are at least two gafers on it. One is a lurker and it's a coincidence.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
We found a promising up and comer to play the school janitor. Some say that person looks like Marlon Brando.

if it ever does I'm sure it wouldn't have the cheesy look,that's a loss from a lot of movies because they mostly us digital camera now...(film FTW) this got a lot better as it went on... I think watching it in episodes is a deserves to the picture...like watching 10 minutes of a movie over a month lol this will be an easy wait... I'm usually so excited for halo games...sucks I'm getting my LE from amazon.. The wait last launch for my Reach console on day one was forever.
coo
Hamish Beamish is deep canon.

Lasky is like the guy on your team who uses the AR and goes like -14.
Im pretty sure we all know a 'Lasky' in real life and you have to put up with him sucking and bringing you down just because hes someone you know.
I feel for the rest of those kids - cant wait till the Chief turns up and carries them each to a 50.
I actually like and emphasize the most with Lasky out of all of them, screw following bad orders and screw being put through that training.
Awesome interview by the way - pretty sad that we wont see a API in the short term - but I have high hopes for a API in the long term. I have some cool ideas for apps I want to go make - and if they take 6 months to put a API out thats fine because I wont want to do anything except play the game for the first 6 months anyway lol.
I do hope a API comes out eventually - but I can live with it not coming in the immediate future - I hope a site like HaloCharts grows and manages to do something with Halo 4 though.
I liked that they didn't make him out to be a total ignorant ass, but you can also understand why he's being stupid himself. When someones orders are stupid it's only natural to buck the chain. I do wonder what
Parangosky found particularly interesting about him though. Inspiring your troops is good, but wouldn't she want someone who could be controlled?

Racist.
It was $20 when I picked it up a few years back. You have to buy the PC version of Halo and then download Custom Edition off of Halomaps (I think it's still on Gearbox's website, but I'm not sure). The only reason you need PC is so that you can enter the CD key when you install Custom Edition.
It's fully compatible with Windows 7.

I was drinking coffee, and everyone started vomiting. haha
But in all honestly I actually REALLY enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be awful, but it was pretty good! Can't wait for next week

Ha, awesome, I will study the videos intently. I'm available for Halo 5 though. Voice acting and all.
My last acting role was in middle school.
I've always wanted to try and get into voice acting though.
Forward Unto Dong, indeed.
Yes it is
his academic performance is exemplary but his combat scores are disappointing.
Wow. Other than what has already been mentioned (shaky cam is a bit annoying, opening was slightly cheesed) the FUD part 1 was solid. Very well done.
And for those that don't scroll back through pages and can't use Waypoint here's the youtube link again.

hahaha
He's Asian, shouldn't he be good at both academics and martial arts/combat?
unless he was so bad at gun firing that it brought his combat score down that much
Yeah, he would be excelling, but the (Polish/American?) white boy keeps dragging scores down. Is FUD really a giant after school special about racial stereotypes?
Poles tear it up. Never heard anything about them being lazy.

Yeah, that's what makes me hesitant to say I know for sure, but I guess it was in reference to the two Sparty Pass helmets and the FOTUS.
Oh yeah, totally forgot about that one. derp

The A.I. which speaks to Lasky at the beginning, [Glasslands/Thursday War spoiler]
is that B.B.? The A.I. has a male voice and Infinity's A.I. is female. We know from TTW that Lasky is Parangosky's favorite on Infinity, so she could give him B.B. as support.
It's one of the GAFfer a beaver-like guy?
