Yahooo! A sexy brown envelope sits on my desk beside me.
Re: DMR vs BR:
Felt clear from Duncan's NYCC footage that the DMR was the primary weapon of choice.

I doubt ill be using Amazon again - game still hasn't arrived.
.... Postman just talked past my house. Noooooo.
Wtf Bobs'?
Shopto 4 Lyfe.
I'd like ordnance drops to get some kind of marking of where it will land before calling one in; I've been calling some in today expecting them to land at where I was aiming or even somewhat close to only to have them land in further ahead in much more dangerous spots than I was expecting.

Nerfing starting utility weapons is not the answer.
What is it's function in MP? So far I think I know in the campaign it was used to see through the fog. lolol You can still see the enemies just as well without it lolol

Gui, were able to bring your 360? Or is that back in Portugal?
Quotes because I'm sure of the distance, but it's a short range thing.
See through "nearby" walls, see enemies highlighted in red.

Reliable single-shot utility weapon with good range. Sounds like the best thing to hit Halo in a while.

The multiplayer game feels great. Love the DMR. Played from Tuesday 0030 to 0630 EST (Monday 1730 to 2330 UTC -12) and hit XP cap between SR-24 and SR-25.
it turns the match into poking each other with that gun from a mile away looking for angles and takes away from the combat pyramid of grenades and melee
that's not halo, it's shit. turns the game boring

Does the timezone trick work?
I feel for all the hardcore people who put down like 200 Doritos codes who will probably hit the cap and waste those codes away.

So people are tearing through half the SRs in a morning's play? Good to hear, the sooner that grind is over for as many players as possible the better.
I thought the Halo 4 campaign was right up there with the best of them (Halo 3 imo). Not quite so expansive as Halo 3's felt, but really enjoyable. I felt like the story was a whole lot more meaningful than Reach - I cared so much more.
SO DAMNED PRETTY. Seeing some of the concept art realised almost perfectly in game made me so happy.
I feel like BTB and Dominion have too many power weapons - it feels like heavies. CTF is fun though.
Promethean vision feels like playing with cheat codes.

It's back in Portugal, unfortunately =\
Btw guys if I don't reply to one of your posts, it's not on purpose. I'm only home at night and there's like 15+ pages of posts.
Just quote one of my posts if you want to say something and I'll catch that for sure.

I'll let you know when I get back home in an hour. Also, I don't think it uses your DXP matches once you hit the XP limit.
The max is SR-130.

I emvy all of you who are just sitting down to start the campaign for the first time.
I wish I could wipe it from my head everyday and re-start it.
Roll on Halo 5!

I don't care about Prestige classes or armour. Once you've unlocked what you want, the rest of the grind looks like padded carrot-dangling for 'completionists'.
Each specialisation unlocks a perk i.e. tactical or support packages.

I hope this isn't me being too negative given what I said yesterday, but I think Steitzer has been used...poorly. Granted, in past games, almost everything Steitzer said was unnecessary, but it was cool and he was used effectively. Now Steitzer says too much stuff and says too many things at once.
Stuff like "Hold the ball to earn points!" at the beginning of Oddball matches, and just about every other objective gametype, are unnecessary once the player becomes familiar with the gametype. Steitzer comes off as clumsy too by making him say too much stuff at once. Rather than saying "ball taken" it's "you have the ball." Instead of "ball dropped" it's your "your team dropped the ball." Having Steitzer saying stuff like "closing in on victory" or "five kills to win" is not cool an entirely unnecessary. I can tell that my team is about to win from my HUD.
Take that all together with announcements of insignificant achievements like "wingman" and "distraction," and it all comes off as too much.
...
Also, I think I understand why there's a marker over the ball carrier and the flag carrier now. With the inclusion of sprint, the average map sized has been increased. I get the impression it'd be difficult to find an oddball carrier on, say, Solace without the waypoint over her head.
I'll be starting campaign within the next hour. I'm excited.

Server crash maybe? Could be, because of the massive population.
Currently ~70000 people, but I bet there are a lot more,
Getting this for MP and SpOps, haven't even played either yet.

You'll get used to it! After an hour you won't even hear it! It fades into the background! Programming options is hard!

I wonder when the join community games option will be used?
It's under the option where you set your party privacy.
It's under the option where you set your party privacy.
That's used to join any ongoing games people on your friends list are in. It opens up a window with any friends you can join in progress/join their lobby.
Currently on mission 2 solo legendary. The Covenant AI is...really bad. The only difficult thing is the lack of ammo for good guns. I'm in serious need of more magnum ammo and I finally find a UNSC weapons rack, but all there are are Assault Rifles. :I
I suppose it does force you to get creative, although it's also been illuminating how meh the Storm Rifle is against the Covenant. Game is pretty though!

Okay. I have a bowl of noodles, a nice cold glass of milk, it's a nice, cold rainy day outside, and I have a brand spankin' new Halo campaign waiting to be played.
I'm ready and excited. Let's do this.

I hope you've voted, Dax.
Is there a way we can voter suppress the Romney maniacs in this thread, whoever they were? There were two of them.

Didn't Bungie get rid of some announcer stuff over time? Maybe 343 will do the same.

Road to Inheritor again.
Anyway, roommate was sleeping so there went my plans to play last night. I got to play at the launch event in the MS Store in Boston even though I preordered from the neighboring gamestop.
They had a DJ playing Halo music, master chief in old armor costume, free pizza and soda/water, those play on the go Xbox+TV in the suitcase things to play campaign in, and 2 1 v 1 stations with a bit of input lag on displays. Got to see the first level of campaign and play a bit of the second. Also tied my friend 1 v 1 Slayer Pro. Intense game, people were cheering behind us.
MS store knows how to put on a sweet launch party.
Anyway, I got a question about the discs. What do I need to do to play campaign and what do I need to do to play multiplayer?
