Probably, that's how it usually works for art books. I still expect some to stay exclusive to the art book though.

I don't really care, the book is nice, but I do find it extremely weird they are dumping the art so quickly and so close to the release of the book. :/

Searching solo in CTF for one of the challenges. Win three games? Shouldn't be too bad. Boy, I was wrong.

I played a total of twelve games. I won one. One. Game. I also went negative in nine of the twelve games, when I average and maintain above a 2.0 K/D. Between repeatedly getting Boltshat, naded in every orifice, and the Explosives/Grenadier perk with Promethean Vision, this was the most aggravated I've ever been a long while. And at a video game nonetheless.

The game is seriously not fun whatsoever unless you're with friend(s).

At the end of the day, I took my Halo 4 disc out of my disc tray, I grasped it firmly between my hands, and I bent it until the piece of shit shattered into two pieces. I then proceeded to throw it's remains in the trash. Where it belongs.

Good thing my roommate has a copy.

Bulletin is supposed to be up today, isn't it? Maybe 343i should just outsource them so they're consistent

Meh. I understand where he's coming from. I've broken like three controllers since the release of the Xbox - Sometimes games just get really frustrating... Would I go as far to break my disc? Of course not. But everyone is different I guess

Nah, they do this to retain customers, also listening to their fan base and releasing multiple patches also have a impact too.

You should probably start a website and blog about it.

Treyarch released a patch to nerf SMGs, and yet when I played last night, everyone was still using SMGs and waping. lol

Because a singular text comment from a person, who you have no idea who they are, their mannerisms, or their sense of humor, not to mention aren't affiliated with them in any way, shape, or form, can clearly give you enough evidence to claim someone has "issues" over the Internet.

If Reach made him Trounce his disc and xbox I wonder how long he'll last in Halo 4.

Maybe he'll trounce his entire house?

This - really hoping this issue starts getting some attention. I'm happy to wait patiently as it's not a huge deal. But 5 weeks after launch, and this feature still isn't working is a little lame. I know that it makes it hard for the Forge guys to share images of their maps and such.

The games not broke in anyway they just did a balance, similar to how D3 or SCII gets balanced. Some of the best players I've seen use both the AR's and SMG's in Blops2. Check Twitch TV for some gameplay. Nothings broke, at least not in the way Halo is. Its more of an adjustment rather than a fix.

I've never broke any of my belongings on purpose in the past. This was the first time.

It felt so...liberating.

So, how does this relate to me exactly? Just because it's a similar topic doesn't necessarily mean the circumstances are the same.

I'm just going to gather up my horde of salt cans and "issues" scurry away before this bubbles into an Internet argument.

I should clarify that I own two copies of the game - one standard and one that came with the LE. I only payed for the LE copy. Grabbed the standard edition at no cost to me. #yolo

But that's NO DIFFERENT from missing out on some sort of sale (even an "unannounced" one). Item is $10. I get it on sale for $8. I save $2. Item goes on sale the next day for $5. I STILL SAVED $2.

Are you high? It didn't go on sale, they fucked the entire thing up. My god, love 343i if you want but at least be in reality.

Because they know its a lie. I can't believe this is what they thought was ok.


Its like this game already has so much shit wrong and you have a chance to do something decent and you just make it worse instead.

I like how that article on Waypoint is down in the less important section below a few things, and I don't think they tweeted about it or anything.

Why do people break shit they can sell? I loved walking into GameStop and watching the cashier put $64.06 in my hand. Felt good.

pretty much. i don't sell back to gamestop because they suck ass. i sold blops 2 on ebay 2 days after it came out because i found it boring. got 45 bucks and it felt good man. haven't sold anything since then.

i enjoy halo 4 for what it is. its definitely not halo ce, or halo 2, but meh. not awful, but not good either. like reach

Even though it's obviously an attempt by Microsoft to save face, I think it's a great idea to offer a map pack as free for the first week. Then people can determine if they enjoy the map packs and feel the sting of sadness when they're removed. Also, it guarantees the playlist will be active to start. I will probably end up buying the pack now, whereas HaloGAF's depthless cynicism might have steered me away.

It was posted here I think. Its something bungie would have an in game message about, but now its buried by 343 on a laggy website. The hits keep on coming.

Sounds lika a typical match in H4. So many perks everywhere and the boltshot haha...that gun needs a srs nerf.

I can't stand H4 for more then one match, I've only been playing when friends get on and that's not often.

HaloGAF's depthless cynicism or the fact that 2 out of 3 of those maps are total bullshit. Shatter looks like a green fuckin mess and all 3 have pretty horrid framerate issues.

A problem I've noticed with Halo 4's theatre. Whenever you try to pan the screen closer to an explosion, everything becomes blurred to shit. Explosions are very important in getting good effects in screenshot... but now it's all but useless. I'm finding it hard to do anything with theatre this time, sadly.

I took this in Reach. I had to pan the camera ever so slightly just to get it right. Took at least an hour to get properly.

That whole effect is useless in Halo 4 because of blur.
as is this one

Just sucks. 343i didn't even need to touch theatre and it would've been fine as is (at the very least), but now it's just... Egh. I'm sure there is potential there, but I'm just not seeing it at the moment (admittedly, not that I've really tried seeing as screenshots are useless without a browser)
