Support NeoGAF

[ElRenoRaven]

Is it me or are all GAF avatars broken?

Not just you. I'd say probably 98 percent of them aren't loading for me.

Ok, thought it might be a browser thing.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

On the thong scale, I would rate it Cisco.

:lol

 

[daedalius]

So far, in terms of sci-fi atmosphere, it's the best I've seen. Note, I haven't played much ME.

In terms of gameplay, it's Halo polished to the max.

In terms of graphics, the best I've seen this gen.

In terms of sound, second only to BF in its design. But, as it encompasses a different setting, there is nothing like it, The music is also fantastic.

On the thong scale, I would rate it Cisco.

I agree with these things.

So I made it to just past the Storm in my epic playthrough, H:CE and H2 both complete, hopefully I can finish H3 tonight before midnight (and if this other contract doesn't come in...)

 

[CloudyTuba]

Woke this morning to an email from them saying there was a problem with my card, I checked, there wasn't, all details correct and bank balance healthy. Re-entered my details and then, after having the LE ordered since September on release day delivery, they say estimated delivery as the 8th. Fuck that. Cancelled and ordered the standard from Shopto, with free first class shipping, and it's been in transmit since this morning.

Sorry 343, wanted the LE, Amazon fucked me over.

Damn! Well, I've not been sent any emails like that.

 

[TheOddOne]

Lol freaks me out just now thinking that 343 people are looking at our explicit love making on this forum.

Something is wrong. It seems to be completely random timing...

 

[YourExWife]

:lol

 

[Conor 419]

Just had it out with Shopto, basically I'm not allowed to order from there any more.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Can't wait, only mere hours away now.

Campaign will be mine till done.

What happened? Did you crap in their easter basket?

 

[BladedExpert]

So whats the best way to avoid first game AR hell? Slayer Pro? Is it fixed/set loadouts?

 

[Tunavi]

Seriously? How early are you guys getting there?

at 10.

Do you have a preorder bonus?

I believe the LE gives a custom skin for the BR which was confirmed that it unlocks the weapon for you at the start of MP.

 

[MrBig]

Slayer Pro has fixed loudouts. You could also play SpOps or complete a campaign challenge.

 

[Pop]

:lol

Haha that's great.

Same here, I am stuck watching Revolution at 9 because I started it and must finish it.

Well they sent my order to the wrong address despite reassuring me that they wouldn't do so. I rang them up and had a three quarter hour throwdown with some girl on the phone, she eventually broke down and stormed off. I then got a long lecture from her collegue Jerry, who said that I 'couldn't talk to people that way', that they were cancelling my order and shutting down my account.

I just want to play Halo.

You need to grow the fuck up.

Custom for the AR not BR.

 

[Highlaw]

Can't keep halo off my head, might as well do something remotely useful. Sketch is done

Halo4 ETA 20h.. too damn long

Well shit, now I am in the same boat. haha

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

AR + Pistol is plenty devastating.

 

[Conor 419]

God I see where this is going, I forgot how gullible you people are, I'll save this thread 40 posts of this.

I asked them to redirect my order, I'm probably getting it Wednesday, jeez.

 

[TCKaos]

So I just played my last game of Reach.

Lone Wolf on Legendary. Alone. Changed my service tag to B132 and everything.

It was weird looking at the Mark V helmet, burnt and broken, Legendary flame extinguished, knowing that I won't be seeing it again for a long long time. It was the kind of finality I was looking for.

I think I'm ready for Halo 4 now.

Dude, what the hell?

I've done CSR work before and hearing this, you sound like one of those customers. The customer I would deny refunds to because of their sense of entitlement.

Sounds well deserved (you having your account shut down).

Don't treat people like shit and you won't get treated like shit back.

I do have the LE preordered at gamestation (UK). MAybe I'll get lucky

Didnt think of that!

Slayer Pro all day every day.

[BigShow36]

So I just got a call this morning from someone I know letting me know they were sending me a LE console and game.

What unlocks come with the LE console again?

 

[Blueblur1]

Received an e-mail response almost immediately. Ordered canceled, problem resolved.

i started about 3 weeks ago with Reach, Anniversary, Halo 2, ODST, and now im 10 seconds away from getting to FUD on the last level of Halo 3...game paused because the wife calls at noon during her last break and wanted to watch the ending again

Allow me to accomplish this goal by being a dick on the phone. gg

Unicorn armor. Enjoy

12 hours left.... Can't wait.

 

[TommyT]

Are there going to be any spoilers in this thread I need to watch out for? Should I avoid it until I'm done with the campaign?

 

[CyReN]

So I guess MLG doesn't like Halo tweeting out public stream numbers, cool.

(they have never released out stream numbers)

Yeah - I would prefer there aren't open spoilers for at least a week post launch... Or could that all be handled in the gaming side thread?

 

[TommyT]

Well, gaming thread SHOULD have marked spoilers. However I'm still avoiding it though. Curious about what the rule, if any, there is here.

Anyone got that gif of those two British guys looking at the camera in complete disbelief?

Sweet, I'll see you two there.

So I just got a call this morning from someone I know letting me know they were sending me a LE console and game.

Special Dong Of The Unicorn Snazzy Armor and a special skin. Also get early access to all the specializations, but so does everyone else who buys and plays the game withing the first couple of weeks.

edit: Conor, a comedian without an audience is not a comedian. The audience in your head does not count.

 

[TCKaos]

Holy shit I'm an idiot. I thought I was playing on the Gaming setting on my TV. It's been on Movie mode the entire time. I've been playing with input lag for the last three years and I didn't even realize it.

So now I have no input lag. TIME TO ASCEND TO 5 SHOT GODHOOD.

 

[GhaleonEB]

You could always go back to Reach and play Firefight Doubles. *deadpan*

*deathstare*

why is that?

 

[willow ve]

It was loosely discussed that this is the Halo "community" - ergo we can talk about past games, books, lore, random shit not really related to Halo, etc. The gaming side thread is pure Halo 4. It makes sense to me to keep spoiler discussion (at least at the beginning) explicitly spoiler tagged and/or only in the gaming side thread.

Anyone got that gif of those two British guys looking at the camera in complete disbelief?

You know, I haven't been around here for that long... but you don't necessarily have a reputation of not being an asshole. Just saying...

 

[CitizenCope]

343 really fucked up here. When I play single player I'm going to be thinking of what I'm missing in MP. When I'm playing MP I'm going to be thinking I should be continuing the fight in single player.
WTF, thanks guys. How do they let this stuff slip through?

 

[CyReN]

why is that?

They said it could be inaccurate, there's a system to figure it out though through twitch/own3d. This is the first time MLG Halo had that available so it's easy now. No idea why they don't release it, I think after 8 years we would like to hear it from them.
