*i really wish they could have evened out the number of mods in each category!!!
 
your lucky then. every explosion cause some frame rate stutter. i was trying to replay it but got pissed after the 1st mission

4, not Reach. Reach had pretty significant frame rate problems, but Bungie didn't seem to care about it in favor of 'better' graphics..

But they've fixed that in 4 by going with far more basic terrain geometry. Even a map like Solace with a detailed skybox still has a great frame-rate.

For fucks sake. My Xbox refuses to connect to Live (claims a problem in my connection worked just fine a couple of hours back) and it seems my best controller's (the only good one) A button is... stuck? It feels really odd, not right at all, as if there was something sticky in the controller under it.

Oh yeah, Bregmann Roche and I just registered for the Fight Like a Girl 2v2 tournament, which is a fundraiser for breast and cervical cancer research. We should get some more HaloGAFers signed up. I think I saw Tashi and Hypertrooper talking about it?

It's $20, and happens on Saturday, November 17 (my birthday :-D).

A lot of people were saying it was the best campaign since CE. I also think there were some streams of campaign and people seemed to love it.
I really loved it the first time I played it, for sure. The gameplay mechanics that worked so poorly in multiplayer really shined in the campaign. However, the story was incredibly weak and cracked the glossy exterior far quicker than I would have thought based on my initial reaction.

I'm really happy that you guys enjoyed the campaign as much as you did, and the spoiler-free Monumental post got me super hyped. I cannot wait to get my hands on this thing.
 
Not me. I'm here for the universe, don't care 'bout the Chief and Cortana really. But that's just me.
There's a lot for you to love in Halo 4 as well.
... did you just make the opening sentence of your... review thing your avatar? OT hasn't even launched yet and we're already getting the loonies.
Did I make my visual representation on a videogame messageboard my thoughts on a game I'm a fan of? Yeah...
Can you confirm, once and for all, no campaign theatre?
How replayable do you see the campaign? Halo ce and h3 are almost infinite on some missions for me. Other games not so much. How does h4 feel?
No Campaign Theatre. Halo 4 sets a good balance between impressive set pieces and sandbox variety.
probably the same as these. dat honeymoon phase. either way im hyped
I know that after playing the game there are many things that the community will argue about. But the problem about mentioning specifics is that it taints the views of those who haven't played the game and would have never been affected if not for reading those nitpicks ahead of time.

Reach has a really impressive sandbox and it leaves a great first impression. In many ways it was the best campaign since CE. But it does falter on multiple play throughs. And because our memory of things is usually based on our emotions, Reach (while being great in the moment) doesn't leave the emotional mark that the first trilogy does.
 
awesome impressions onumental and wwwmonkey, trying to keep my hype down, but damn this is the most hyped i have been for a game since halo 3

This is a dumb post. Monumental wrote a solid, spoiler-free review of the game. An actual contribution to the community. Of course he must be attacked for it.

I take it that you and Bregmann will be competing in the Grifball portion of the tournament?

I can't believe there are still people who vote for Hemorrhage.


I can't believe Boneyard is still as a simple BTB map in the playlist.

Reach.
 
Monumental, wwmonkey: Is Spartan Ops available to play, or do you have to do it over xbl? I'm curious to know if theater is indeed absent for that as well.
It is only accessible through Xbox Live. I do wonder if Spartan Ops missions can be played offline once you've played them online...at least I hope so. Can't really say anything for sure.

Calling the store who told me last week to call this week tonight. May be in for a road trip. Although if they don't have any LE's, I might actually wait.

Thanks. From what I read, you download episodes over xbl and can play them again later, but I didn't know if the first episode was on the disc.
 
I wouldn't go with this one. The Pokemon Black/White 2 OT just had a 'shades of grey' joke. Already been done, already played out.


This gets my vote.


... or this one.


I'm not so bummed about jetpack, but I think I'll really miss not being able to use promethean vision effectively. Gotta practice clawing.

I was unaware... thanks for the heads up. ;) So I'm down for below. Mainly because the Brace, Large is such a legendary piece of the Forge palette. lol...

I will say this without spoiling anything, but there are 2 particular moments in the game where your jaw will hit the floor quite a few times ;)

I think I know a moment which would fit, but I don't know how to ask for it, without spoiling something, so I keep my mouth shut
 
Come on man keep this crap out of here please - I don't want the high points and low points locations being ruined before I play the thing
Thirded. Keep that shit to PM's if you must spoil it for yourself a week before the damned game comes out. Don't drag us down with you.
 
Sorry, I'll shut my mouth now.

Just wanted to say Frankie posted here about how one moment from the third mission felt pretty awesome with the music kicking in or something, we have been showed part of the third mission at Eurogamer... I just put some things together, that's it. I haven't watched any campaign footage apart from the officially released ones :/
 
God, you guys are really making me want this game now. There is a place by me that has a habit of selling early to their frequent customers.. Im not one of them sadly. (well actually Im glad I'm not, that place is shady) =P

You could try centering the odd one out at the bottom, it might help the uneven visuals.

I crashed head first into the 24k post limit for the thread, and will be snagging your armor ability section as well, with permission. :) (Could you post a version with transparent background?)

It'll chop out a chunk of text.
 
how about some unspoiler-y stuff.

The new BR has recoil, like the DMR did in the Reach beta, slow-rise per shot. If you don't manage it, eventually your shots will go high.. It should only be a factor at distance engagements.

I know there's a store selling it here already but it's 200 kms from me :(
 
Sorry if it's been covered but as I watched the Waypoint video wondered where the file sharing function fit in as they didn't mention it. Am I mistaken or is that gone, too?

E: Thanks Over. I was doing it wrong.

Top write up Monkey and Monumental, appreciate it. So stoked to play this.

Only down side is the amount of time between now and next Tuesday!

Even if it's just speculation it's pretty annoying to potentially have anything spoiled - just keep that stuff to pms please :p

I really hope amazo deliver early - want to blitz through the game!

You restarted you router? Switched from automatic settings on your Xbox to manual. Restarted and switched back?

Sounds like an ip problem on your router.
