That kid is going to grow up feeling like his birthday and Christmas gifts are combined.
Congrats!Wow, congratulations!
Also thanks for all the games earlier guys. Most of them were really good. Although when the connection is bad, it's sooo bad.

That's awesome. Congratulations!
Congrats.
Watchin' Game Grumps now, will check it out after!
I played about 10 hours of Demon's Souls, and it's pretty similar. The fighting mechanics are better in Dark Souls because they added more moves to the combat. I like the open world design of Dark Souls better than the Hub world of Demon's but I haven't put enough time into Demon's to really comment. The dark atmosphere and tone of Demon's seems a little more effective though, but that's probably because I am so familiar with Dark Souls. It's probably best to play Demon's first, but I think Dark is more accessible with weapon upgrades and item/loot overall.

Halo 4: Could have been worse
Nahhhhh
You don't really 'get' Gears then. Gears Gnasher Shotgun is Halo's Pistol/BR/DMR.
Boltshot is the sawed off, meaning super cheap kills requiring little skill.
And congrats on your son ivy!

LONG POST WARNING*
Not sure if anyones posted, if so my bad, but my friend Lord Zedd released a gametype in his fileshare allowing you to use two unreleased Armor Abilites that were left on Halo 4, on the map Harvest.
Just go into his fileshare, and just download the gametypes, then go play them on Harvest.
One of the abilites is a teleporter ability, kind of like what the Prometheans have, then the 2nd ability, is an AA jammer, and if you activate it, a blue dot where be on your HUD, and you have to highlight the player. When they are highlighted, a thick layer of green shields will cover them, and any ability they are using will go void, and stop working.
Armor Ability Jammer:
Teleporter Ability:
Anyways, just thought it was cool. These would have been pretty bad for gameplay. Atleast the teleporter one. This aint shadowrun.

All of this happens within like 0.2 of a second.

that's pretty fucking insane. little nervous we can get banned for downloading tho
If you mean like they'll be added to the game at a later time, nah. Someone on a podcast that they decided not to put teleport in because it was to powerful.
I think you've proved my point right there.
Woah those are pretty cool. Does the teleporter actually go through walls like in Shadowrun? Can you end up inside the map if you use it wrong?
Ahhhhhh I want to download that gametype but I don't feel like turning o my Xbox. If only someone would invent a system by which you could view shared files online, and queue up downloads fir later. Probably an impossible dream, I know.

Another feature 343 axed from previous halo games. I used this all the time in reach.
Could have been worse™
Everything I've seen seems to point to it being bannable to have them in your file share, but playing them in customs being perfectly fine. I guess it's still an "at your own risk" type thing though.

They'll probably patch the game to go beyond SR 130 and have those as the end game reward. Only available to DLC purchasers, of course.

Wow, that's awesome.
Ah, so you're one of those people.

I'm doing okay. Turned 20 today, but I didn't have a party because I never have a party. People are really busy this close to Christmas, so I've always either held an early party or just not had one. Got some cool gifts on Steam from a few friends and got some new sketchbooks.
That's pretty awesome, actually. It's sort of neat how they still use the Reach assets. Wonder why those didn't show up on some of the AAs in the final.

Would you be able to block an AA blocker?????

Even as someone that enjoys Halo 4 a lot more than most of this thread, this is what worries me. It simply isn't going to go backwards, 343 has committed to these game mechanics.

Kinda hoping for the natural extension: an AA that prevents your opponent from shooting.

I would've loved an AA blocker. "You are going to play real Halo dammit and by god will I make sure of it."

I wonder if hardlight shield would block the blocker.
Nope, just tried it on all AA, only one that it didnt work for was the Hologram. Clicked making a video on it now.
It is an INCREDIBLY useful AA, why it got cut I have no idea. It's a perfect counters for the Camo/Boltshoters, my guess is they cut it because most people would use it to play to play "core Halo".

The way I see this only disappoints me because of what AA's have turned into... How COOL would these things be as pickups to fight over with a one-and-done use??
fffffffffffffffffuck me.

It's one of two DLC specializations to be released in a later quarter.
Not available in parts of Europe.
Does it just cancel the AA's in use, or does it also add a period of time they are unable to use it?
Cancels it in use, it looks like normal recharge from what I've seen, the fairy dust is a awesome bonus too.
Yeah, got that unfortunate fate of desiring more of the sandbox to be useful and not containing weapons that make others considerably less useful, even when a power/non-power weapon distinction exists like it does in both games.

Yup. I'd probably play more then 3 games every 3 weeks if that was made available.
