I don't think the TU was embargoed .. this would be weird as hell, wouldn't it?

I thought, if it wasn't the mappack or something new regarding Spartan Ops, maybe it would be something easy like.. Silentium descriptions in detail? Don't know?

It's funny how all Bungie Halo games felt like they were assembled together at the last minute , but compared to this latest Halo they feel like the development was perfectly smooth

To be fair it seems like Halo 4 was in development hell up until the creative director left earlier this year and it wasn't until then that things really got going.

Make the BR 4-shot, give DMR a 2x scope or make it an on-map pickup and make the Carbine one or two less shots to kill pls

So are final killcams enabled across the board or on just certain modes? Looking forward to them, even if they are laggy it's still cool that the game winning kill gets a shout out - sometimes they are really interesting to see.

I mean this in the nicest way possible but why does 343 always have random stuff happen first then go into detail.

I honestly feel like 343 is a slave to the moneyhatting that either microsoft is doing or their marketing is doing. Such poor communication with what was one of the most dedicated console communities.

Referring to compiling and linking the binaries? Then you are kinda correct...

That looks similar to my setup. I have switches upon switches for multiple inputs and multiple outputs.

Do you have any problems with using switches backwards? HDMI likes to be repeated. I want to buy a matrix splitter/switch, but at the same time I want to attempt to build my own so I can hook it up via WiFi to my phone and control it wireless-ly.

It's late and this is super OT, but I just downloaded My Chemical Romance's two new mini-albums and they're awesome. It's just like their old stuff.


Now go on, judge away at me self-recognized poor music taste.


Bedtime.

Kevin Smith's recent podcast (Smodcast) has an interview with the Way brothers. I dunno if I've ever heard one of their songs, but it's a fun interview regardless.

If the TU doesn't overhaul anything significantly I wonder why push it out in its current state given all the hubbub about patch costs and the number of free ones allowed for a dev.

I imagine that they had a deadline of this weekend to patch the game ready for the dlc.

Can't believe the dlc is already almost here - it's gone fast.

Here's the summary:

Halo 4 tourney starting soon:
Register: http://halo4infinitychallenge.com/platform/web/registration/Welcome.html
The Halo 4 Infinity Challenge on Xbox LIVE will bring gamers the biggest and most accessible Halo tournament in the world. This free-to-enter tournament will track your personal score in War Games and the number of Spartan Ops chapters you complete on global leaderboards, and your progress with relevant Halo 4 Challenges. The War Games leaderboard winner will walk away with a UNSC-themed, V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor truck designed by our artists here at 343, the Spartan Ops winner will secure an appearance in a future Halo game (don’t blame me if you end up being naked and blue), and the Challenge winners will get a prize pack....

The qualifier phase will take place December 17 - January 10. For that part of the tournament, you will need to climb the ranks of the global leaderboards by competing in either the Spartan Ops or War Games leaderboard. After the qualifier phase, players will be tiered into three groups (Tier 1: Consisting of the top 10% of players competing, Tier 2: Consisting of the next 11-40% of players competing, and Tier 3: Consisting of the bottom 60% of players competing) and will enter the finals phase. The finals phase will start on January 12 and end on January 19. You can also participate in Weekly Challenges for a chance to win great prizes.

Spartan Ops Matchmaking coming. Season 1 on break until January.

Then, from December 17 – January 14, episodes 1-5 will be re-entered into Matchmaking (one episode per week) to support the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge, and allow anyone who missed the first run or wants to replay a previous chapter to easily find teammates online.
Click to expand...

The second half of Spartan Ops Season 1 will resume later in January with brand new episodes, chapters, locations and maps

Team Regicide and SWAT staying another week. They noticed the bugged ordinance drops on Haven too.

TU

We can tell you right now that this particular TU tackles actual game and gameplay issues, not sandbox tweaks and balances. We have another TU in the works and will continue working on the timing and content of the next one. We will update everyone when we have additional information. One TU at a time, as they say.

DLC Playlist

ow, back to the Crimson maps! The 12.10 Matchmaking update will include a brand new Crimson DLC playlist, and it will also integrate the Crimson maps into existing playlists. Let’s tackle the Crimson DLC playlist first. It will be 6 vs. 6

The league actually sounds interesting.

But am I reading it right that the Spartan Ops challenge is to play the most missions? That just highlights how much Spartan Ops is missing a score based mode.

Hmm, I wonder if this break for Spartan Ops was planned all along or if they needed more development time.

I miss parts of it.
I miss that era, when Live felt so fresh.
I miss backpacking the sword on lockout and launching around the map cracking it out for a milisecond kill (completely cheap). I miss flag runs on Ivory Tower. And more then anything I miss 1-flag zanzibar and that rush of taking the flag down the beach. All the maps felt so good and had their own unique strategies you just dont see much anymore.

I miss people using mics and proximity voice shit-talking, I still enjoyed videogames alot then. I miss being cracked out with my roommates up till 4 am playing that shit after going out.

I miss the people.

Thanks, Reach.

So we're getting 2 Title Updates?

1st soon for game and gameplay (fixing exploits, etc.).
The 2nd to address sandbox issues and balance sometime in the future.

That's what I'm getting form the Bulletin at least.

Just in time for Feb, along with skill ranks. Just going to have to wait a little longer. Trust them.

My faith in 343i is very minimal at this time, I even think they will somehow screw up the title updates and skill rank playlists.

Edit: How in the world does file searching not work yet. So many problems.

Well, at least it seems this competition isn't US exclusive. That's nice.

Although I don't really understand what you have to do to win. Just play a lot of matchmaking and firefight? Cause that would be pretty lame.

A month later and they aren't updating balance issues yet? I really hope when they get around to it they have some pretty significant changes. Maybe they should've taken their vacations after the beta (that's what I'm calling it) if they wanted to hold people's interest with war games longer. I'm already looking forward to Crysis 3.
