why

Heh, its like GOW 3 all over again, then this

 

[heckfu]

Would be an extremely cool helmet without the spike. Fail IMO

Whaaaaaat. I love the spike!

 

[GodlyPerfection]

It looks like another new microsoft system without a day 0 halo release.

IMO I think it is better marketing wise to keep the hype of a new Halo and the hype of a new xbox separate to maximize sales. Just from a marketing perspective though.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Wait does this mean recruit armor is exclusive now ?

http://www.xbox.com/en-HK/Marketplace/Product/Halo-4/colletorsEdition

Boom. Thank you. This is not the first time it has been advertised, officially, as "Exclusive In-Game Armor."

Spartan-IV “Recruit” In-Game Armor
Spartan-IV “Prime” In-Game Armor Skin
Assault Rifle “Prime” In-Game Weapon Skin
“Prime” In-Game Emblem
Xbox LIVE Avatar “Recruit” Armor
Cryo-Tube Xbox LIVE Avatar Prop

Obviously now it is just a skin, but man what a fuck up. Pretty sure some people from 343 even thought it was exclusive armor at a point.. seems some parts of marketing still think that. This whole LE stuff is just a joke.

What's up with this?

Under bonus content it said "find next clue here" and this appeared when I clicked on it...

Looks like it has something to do with the puzzle piece things? I dunno. Its not a left over from the boxart thing.

Dance Central 3 just came in the mail. Now I have something to tide me over until this is out!

 

[Tawpgun]

So how does Double XP work? All you need is one code?

 

[Orochinagis]

So how does Double XP work? All you need is one code?

It will give you a certain time to play with double EXP, dont know if they game will show your time left like MW3.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

lol - Duncan promised he wouldn't post that one...

"Don't make a Wu a promise... if you know you can't keep it."


I don't recall making any promises, but after spending a few hours at the open bar I probably would have said anything. At least it's not a photo of you sleeping on an air mattress.

 

[Tawpgun]

So the more codes you have the more time?

 

[Orochinagis]

So the more codes you have the more time?

Yes. Dont know if enter your codes will give you "tokens" to enable your Double Exp ingame or it automatically adds to your current Double XP time.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

So the more codes you have the more time?

For example, a 12 pack of double XP Dew gets you six matches of Double XP.

 

[B wzy]

Whaaaaaat. I love the spike!

 

[CyReN]

For those getting Double XP someone posted this awhile back:

Product = Cost = # of DewXP games = Units -> 200 Matches = Cost of Units -> 200

Mountain Dew
24 Pack = $6.98 = 12 matches = 17 units = $125.78

12 Pack = $3.98 = 6 matches = 34 units = $143.44

Doritos
11.5 oz = $2.68 = 12 matches = 17 units = $48.29

*Above is using 6% tax

Jesus. Don't give anyone ideas.

(I drank a LOT of gin that night. This morning, I was reading an article about sleep deprivation, and how a study of gamblers showed that sleep deprivation shows up like brain damage in that group - and I realized no sleep + too much booze was why I was playing so awfully at the Megabloks party. )

It's clearly backwards. I wonder if this is connected to the forerunner letters C and 3 we have found. Also the bulletin hidden message.
Keep eyes open during FuD part 3 and the halo 4 commercial coming out tomorrow.

 

[Tawpgun]

Well I got one bottle of Dew and one pack of Doritoes.

 

[Louis Wu]

Heh. the 'ame?' is clearly backwards. The 'Unto Dawn' on the ship is not.

 

[FyreWulff]

Also, I'd rather MS not have a Halo at launch. Launch games always feel like launch games. People know it's coming, like MarioKart and Zelda when they buy Nintendo consoles. No need to rush it out for launch release. We all know how well that worked out for Perfect Dark Zero.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

I'm sure that Bungie's new IP is coming out on launch and a Halo game will come out every other year.

[Oozer3993]

Nope. That's the faulty info 343i gave us when they revealed the LE. Funny how all MS sites say that but other sites say, correctly, it is only a skin.

No, 343 ALWAYS said it was a skin:

The Limited Edition includes the following bonus digital content through Xbox LIVE: unique in-game Spartan-IV armor skin, unique in-game weapon skin for the Assault Rifle, an exclusive in-game emblem, Xbox LIVE Avatar prop, and Xbox LIVE Avatar Spartan IV armor set.

From the May reveal of the LE.

Speak for yourself here. It's past noon and the Poland v England game is on.

Unfortunately I still have class and have no beverages in my place of residence.

But the point is, after that bulletin MS in many press releases said it was an armor and a skin, just like pointed out above.

I think Microsoft is thinking like this, First 2 years should be focused to heavily pushing new IPs and then launch a block buster game to maximize on current console sales while hoping one of those IPs they were pushing becomes a hit like with Gears of War.

I am thinking Destiny will be a launch title for the new system as well as a few other games/cross generation titles (Battlefield 4, Rainbow 6)

What a crap game that was to watch.

Well as a Polska supporter I'm content with the tie. I only caught the second half though.

Yeah - but MS has been pulling down H4 footage from YouTube, as well. His box (and 1month GT) were banned before he even made the movie.

 

[bGanci]

Lol yes Ty for pointing that out

 

[FyreWulff]

Xbox centric thread talking about launch games mentions Xbox launch game. News at 11. Drinking game only applies to original Perfect Dark, play the game right.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Yeah, given the content though, I assume they know it will get taken down, but thought it was funny.

 

[squidhands]

Isn't there an extension that turns all gifs into links or something?

Is there? That would be awesome for my work browsing.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Woah that BR/ dmr post a page or so back was pretty interesting. Kind of shocked the BR has bleed through while the dmr doesn't.

 

[bGanci]

My guess because its three shots instead of one. Dmr is only one shot So it will take down the shields. Br has three shots so the first shot or two will hit he shields and not bleed through buy you have a a third shot that hits the shield less person. Not really bleed through if in not mistaken,

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I think the Sparkcast mentioned the DMR having less aim assist than the Reach incarnation.

BR will be the BK weapon of choice

 

[Woorloog]

This is what i'm thinking. I reckon most weapons don't actually have bleedthrough, but it may look like they do due to burst or automatic fire.

The answer is: John-117, John, or Master Chief.

It's a Halo 4 "hunt and decode" game, one of my friend "ALTENSEN" won a Halo 4 Limit Edition three days ago, Hong Kong Xbox Live ID: http://www.xbox.com/zh-hk/halo4/huntanddecode

The same web page. After the winner announcement, it changed to what you see. I don't know where the US region page is.

Pretty sucky if you ask me.

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

If anyone wants a really cool game, Metro 2033 is on sale for $10 on XBL. Very underrated IMO.

 

[Louis Wu]

Change the 'zh' to 'en' to see it in English.

 

[Genesis Knight]

Pretty sucky if you ask me.

I hope the DMR still breathes. Customization will be worthless if the BR is a Swiss army knife.
