If you enter a Spartan Ops lobby on a non-Gold account/offline account, it tells you you need an Xbox LIVE account with gold membership at the bottom.

Yeah. Creating a DLC is that fast and easy to make.

Yeah you play the game from disc one and install all of the maps and stuff from disc two.
Also, you're thinking of the Halo 3 Limited Edition. I doubt MS will make the same mistake twice in regards to the packaging.
Will do.
Could have been both actually. Memory is fading though.
EDIT: Yeah, it was H3. It wasn't that big of an issue because most people ordered the edition with the helmet primarily over that.

Are the Halo 4 terminals already just sitting on Youtube? Are these ripped from the actual game?
still takes too long and takes you out of the game (and since the new dash beta, waypoint has a video bug that gives every streaming video black lines and was never fixed (at least for me in germany)). looking for the terminals in anniversary was fantastic but i dont see a reason to look for them in h4. watching the videos on youtube will be the better/faster experience.
we are still talking about a bunch of videos, right? and it seems to be no problem for the spartan ops cutscenes.

The Dashboard will be out of beta and HaloWaypoint will get a new update in time for Halo 4's launch.
Do not compare those two things. Spartan Ops was developed in mind of weekly CGI cutscenes. The campaign was not. I do not think it is that simple to update the campaign levels to support a DLC. There are lot of things to think of. More than you and I can imagine.

Come again?
Hopefully Waypoint is made a lot faster, and can that damn Kinect issue get fixed already? I keep my Kinect plugged in but switched off, yet if I want to use Waypoint I need to turn on the Kinect every time. Its really annoying.
I have the same issue. I rarely use Waypoint for that same reason.

Another annoying part about that is that if I'm using my controller for Waypoint and I'm watching a video, that stupid glove icon pops up and flashes in and out every 2 seconds cuz it thinks I'm trying to access the menu.... I've searched for a way to turn off the Kinect stuff for Waypoint but I don't think it exists.

Waypoint loads faster on my phone than my pc.

I think you're making a bad assumption here. The last number I remember was that only 60% of the 360 install base has an XBL Gold account. That study is a few years old, but the point stands that there is a significant population that stick with Silver or stay offline. I remember hearing that 75% of the people that purchased Halo 3 never set foot in matchmaking.
That said, I'd rather get Waypoint-only Terminals than none at all. Canon geeks such as myself will find a way to view them no matter what. When I go to rewatch the Halo 3 terminals I don't boot up the game, I just look them up on youtube (or at that snazzy HBO hub).

As for skulls, I'm content with getting the same lineup as previous games. I imagine people would be annoyed if 343 hadn't included the standard set, I was just hoping for more. (Especially one that disables soft-kill zones and boundaries in Campaign.) Anniversary was a special case because they couldn't include the normal set and had to get creative with the Halo CE engine.
I'm okay with skulls being unlocked as long as there is something to scratch that scavenger hunt itch - like the Terminals. I imagine skulls need to be available to everyone from the start so they can be used for Challenges.

Agreed. Additionally most of the people who actually care about the terminals will have Gold anyways.

Its really for swedish fans only, but the sites probably worth poking around anyway.

There's like, half a dozen damn Vita OTs now. And just wait until the Wii-U is closer to launch, Wii U Miiverse thread, Wii U E-shop thread, Wii-U console OS tips/tricks thread, etc

Will there be a page in the Community Evolved book about all of the changes the HBO forums have gone through since 1999...oh wait.
Just messing with you Wu
That's probably true - and I would prefer to have them on the disc as well so they can be accessed seamlessly. I loved the hunt for the terminals in Halo CE and genuinely enjoyed them. I'm sure I'll still enjoy finding the Halo 4 terminals even if it's not quite as seemless a process.

Terminals will notify to watch the video on waypoint. Once on waypoint the content is then already available or are codes needed to be inputted per content to unlock?

Man, that still gives me fucking goosebumps. And wow! I didn't know Arby actually dialogue in any of the marketing (though we obviously couldn't know until after the release).
Like I said earlier should have some more gameplay vids. Ill also be able to upload atleast 1 of the 3 vids before I leave to work. So about 2 hours. So you guys can get your fix.
Disappointing but telling us this is appreciated.
Will look for the terminals in-game and then watch them via youtube as that seems to be the most practical option.
Waypoint app looks nice but its functionality is weak (too many submenus, hard to find what i want), along with ridiculously long startup loading time.
