I never thought the LE was going to be some super deal. I mean, are they ever really bought with the purpose of savings?

Still I think excluding things (helmets) is rubbing it in a little. The good thing about digital content is they can easily fix that. Just let the people with the LE codes have access to the Helmets and be done with it. You have to give them something over this, it really isn't right to nickel and dime like this.

Halo players are collectors of sorts, the exclusive stuff and pre order nonsense is bad enough. How do you get this Fotus armor then? Is it just in game?

edit: I meant Recruit armor.

Wait, so I took a screenshot of the editions:
http://screencast.com/t/qYfcN42wdu4R

It specifically says the LE contains the War Games Map Pass. Lower on the screen it lists the contents for the same map pass and it contains those 3 helmets. Why are we assuming the LE does not get them?

 

[JackHerer]

I have a feeling that "groups" didn't make it into the final game. The only reference to it we have seen was in that Halo 4 retailer briefing thing that came out months ago. Shouldn't we have heard about this by now with all the leaks and what not?

It was brought up on the Waypoint forums shortly after that bulletin and bs angel confirmed there were two versions of the map pass.

What I miss? Did that change?

Man I can't wait to get my LE.

Sorry I meant Recruit:

What I miss?

Now everyone who plays the game in the first 2 weeks gets access to all specializations immediately regardless of the version they buy.

I spit out a bit of Dr. Pepper upon seeing this.

Ok, I was trying to be the voice of reason here but now I want to lose my shit. That is outright deception right there.

How the fuck are people supposed to know that?

More of your exciting commentary, I hope!

It's NOT immediate. You have to wait for a code from Microsoft.

Welp, that was seriously the last reason why I was keeping my LE. Sorry but an extra $20+ for a cool case and some UNKNOWN pieces of paper are not appealing to me anymore, no matter how cool those skins look.

I'd rather rock out with a Virtual Boy on my face! B]

 

[Bsigg12]

From a few pages back.

Anybody who plays the "STANDARD" edition of the game in the most of the known world (besides Europe, sorry guys) between November 6th and November 20th unlock the rest of the specializations.

Code will be sent to you by November 30th.

That looks so dumb to be honest. Either make that Xbox on his face smaller or just get rid of it.

It's just unknown right now. I've seen nothing about them being redacted so for now the assumption is they are in.

Personally I think it's just a Waypoint website feature, maybe app feature or xbox Waypoint game feature.

However as for groups = clans I think that is out the windows. After all something as big as clans would make the competitive and casual communities unite and go ape shit for preorders. The current timing we have until launch I'd think something like clans would not be under wraps anymore.

My personal speculation is groups are just like B.net groups, nothing in game related at all.

 

[Sai-kun]

Sorry I meant Recruit:

The LE comes with the Recruit skin. Recruit is the default armor that everyone gets.

The amount of nerd rage coursing through my veins is at an all time high.

I didn't even pre-order the LE, but this is fucking stupid.

isn't there only 1 skin for each armor set?

What is the source of this, is it a website?

 

[Bsigg12]

I don't know, is there? Honest question since some weapons have multiple skins.

What is the source of this, is it a website?

It's from a marketing email from Xbox for Halo 4 that started going out today. A lot of us got it.

 

[Amazing Mic]

Like someone mentioned a little bit ago- it probably has a lot to do w/ Black Ops 2's release and Black Friday. Marketing probably figured they'd give every incentive they could to get people to buy and play early.

Fine, give the LE owners the Helmet. Its the least they can do.

Well, I dunno who you're asking, because it ain't happening :lol

 

[malfcn]

Reminds me a bit of the Gears 3 release..promise a ton of exclusives and "value" - then give it to nearly everyone.

 

[Overdoziz]

Hey people who don't want to get spoiled and watch Halo 4 streams anyway,
turn off the chat.

 

[Satchel]

Can I just say again how happy I am with the Achievement list for this game?

Specifically the online ones? or lack thereof?

Sooo good, compared ot the bullshit we had to deal with in 3 and Reach.

Kill 4 players in 3 seconds, blindfolded and upside down, with the Spartan Laser, on a Defiant Map, only on Tuesday.

I'm not watching one currently, but some of the ones last night were fine in full screen.

I honestly believe they were a contributing factor to the decline of the online community.

No coincidence that CoD hasn't had online achievements since 4 (possibly earlier?) and yet it's still the most played game online.

 

[kittens]

I actually really love multiplayer achievements. They add a fun sense of, umm, achievement. Just don't make them too difficult. There's still a few I don't have from Halo 3, like a double kill with a single spartan laser blast in a ranked FFA match or some shit.

I'd rather rock out with a Virtual Boy on my face! B]

I might wear that just to piss people off. :lol

If so, rabble rabble rabble

Haha, so true.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Couldn't the person playing in the stream just blurt out a spoiler even if it's MP gameplay? Not worth it.

 

[dmg04]

Sooo good, compared ot the bullshit we had to deal with in 3 and Reach.

I actually appreciated some of the MP achievos in Halo 3.

Map Pack specific Achievements can suck a dong, though.

On my quest for 100% reach, we as a full party searched objective for 4 hours (FOUR HOURS) to get a 1flag CTF Defiant game.

While I understand it was easier to attain when defiant and noble were the only 2 packs/reach was more popular, did they not consider any players that would play reach later in the games life?

DLC hoppers are REQUIRED when a population declines. Using "it will split up the population too much!" is an absolute bullshit excuse. What's the point of a 1 player firefight hopper this late? People can play that shit from the main menu. A "classic playlist" consisting of 4 maps and literally broken gametypes? Remove that shit and have a playlist that supports ALL RELEASED DLC. Regular Matchmaking and TU matchmaking? It's a Title Update released to actually fix the game? Why have two of everything? Consolidate that stuff, make room for playlists that are ACTUALLY NEEDED when the population is so low, as you put it!

I can't wait for Halo 4. A lot of my gripes just go with the fact that the last halo game made is considered "old" and isn't very well supported by any devs.

They're fine when they're actually achievable, and don't require boosting parties, like most of 3 and Reach's did.

 

[TheOddOne]

There are still multiplayer maps coming, guys.
