Wow. It's so weird none of that happened to me either. The only thing remotely happening to me was a delay when I cleared out a hallway. I was like well maybe I have to go the other way and half way down the hall finally a waypoint poped up where I was. So I turned around and headed back.
Oh damn. I so can't wait for that game.
I really was. I was like yes she's gonna die but then it was like she turned into Ms Badass and took him out. I was like goddamn it. Now I'm a little conflicted. She's still annoying but the way she was taking out the knight and other Prometheans was bad ass.
Shit. Does Auburn have a game today? I ask because three or four people have come up to me on campus so far talking about college football and asking for high-fives and shit while I'm wearing my Goku hoodie. I have no idea that the fuck is happening.
Also yeah this episode was probably the best one so far despite the Infinity being reused so much. The map is large enough and the missions diverse enough to where it didn't feel terribly too samey. Looking forward to playing through it again to grind for some Halo Funbucks.

So true. :/ Apart from Slayer Pro in Reach, which should more accurately have been called Slayer Throw, due to the ridiculous amount of plasma 'nade trolling that goes on in that gametype.
Have never seen it officially acknowledged, even on the more informal posts by Jeremiah et al. over on Optimatch etc. The issue itself was one of the indirect factors behind my (unsuccessful) drive to get some high quality 2v2 forge maps into the Doubles playlist in Reach. Performance limitations were easier to circumnavigate in 2v2 scenarios, allowing for more decorative and outlandish designs. I'm assuming such issues still plague many 4v4 designs in H4 forge. Especially when it comes to split screen.
I don't normally pimp my own stuff on here, but I've conducted interviews with some of the top players in the Infinity Challenge and got their views on the event. It's a pretty good read!

No question on what they thought of the cheating accusations or rumours?
Not against them, but in general?
But yes, it was a good read and a good idea, nice work.
Interesting interviews.
From the Article said:
I can't imagine playing any game for 16 hours straight. Even at the most addictive peak of Halo 3 LAN parties I think the longest I ever played straight through was 8-10 hours. Maybe 12 hours tops. I can't imagine doing 16 hours back to back, day after day.
And then this
From the Article said:
"With energy drinks and caffeine pills it can be done, but it really caused my body some damage. Im still recovering now. "
looooooooooooooooooooooooool
I swear to god, I was walking arround 15 minutes in the first room, which was block with the shield doors. Shooting at those generator things didn't help either.
When I restarted the mission, it worked. If only my capture card wasn't at my friends house.
One person had just been laid off (made redundant) and another took a full two weeks holiday from work just for this competition (he "won" the Spartan Ops challenge).

lol Microsoft definitely wanted to do something similar with Halo. This shit is so dumb and I can't wait until it goes away
Anybody want to tackle the new SpOps episode tonight? I think I should be free around 9:30pm EST.
GT is the same as on GAF.
Bro, you need to be enjoying the Tally-life to the fullest.

Not that I'm a GoW player, but at least it's purely cosmetic stuff, right? Or am I picking that up wrong?
As a level 29 in Halo 4, I don't like that I'm getting matched up with 60 - 100 level players, who have access to Perks I don't.
Between school, work, and my recent break-up, Tally can suck my freaking dick.

Oh I believe you guys. I just find it so weird how it can be so buggy for some and not others.

I seem to e playing a completely different game half the time, especially since I don't have any of the slowdowns or frame rate dips GAFfers report on here.

Hit up Ryaaaaaaaaan.
It was entertaining for the most part, but there is no logic to the story whatsoever.
EDIT: To be fair, the movie has self-referential slight comments about how it's nonsensical.
I have yet to pre-order, gotta check out the other retailers. I also heard that everyone who buys Judgement during the launch will get a download code for Gears 1. Its great news for me as my disc doesn't work anymore.
Adam and Eve weren't a factor in the split. Overall, it was a pretty positive break-up. Still open doors in the future.

45? Seriously? That's like nothing 3 months after a game drops.
People are so ridiculous. I work full time and am required to have continuing education for my job, play a few nights a week most of the time and am in the 120's. GET ON MY LEVEL!
Fuckin' A Croatia. You must be some special kind of douchebag.
lol.
Like Spartan Ops
ZING!
EDIT: Top of page. And I just noticed the other guy's gamertag...
Just watched the Ops cutscene... Man, I think Ops has definitely shown that people who were complaining that 343i was destroying Halsey as a character were way wrong. Sure, she's not exactly on the UNSC's side, but considering what the UNSC is up to that's not always a bad thing. She's certainly portrayed as one of the most nuanced characters, alongside Jul M'dama.
Actually, this is a 45 in Halo 3. He is just mad, because he is a 37.
I'm only 58 in Halo 4, btw.
Now, that he has nothing else to say, he is picking on my grammar and I think, I'm going to cry.

I am probably late to the party but I just read Shadders latest article:
http://www.littleenglishhaloblog.co...f-infinity-challenge-winner.html?spref=tw&m=1
Reading that is exactly why I don't like things like the virgin tournament, one guy took two weeks off work, another was made redundant anyway and they literally spent every waking moment in spartan ops. To the point were they complain about long term damage and crippling boredom.
Time based tournaments suck, skill based tournements would be better

But having no job, no life and doing real harm to yourself for a video game means they should be rewarded. Frankie should personally thank everybody that did harm to themselves for this Halo tournament.
Hopefully Microsoft and Virgin can expand this type of tournament. Instead of low amounts of hurt over a long period of time, how about high amount of pain in a short period of time?
Maybe a razor slash will get you about a week's worth of playtime/ a few hundred games.
A broken bone has got to be worth atleast two weeks worth of back to back gaming.
They could even allow clans in to let people hurt others if they too wimpy to hurt themselves too. Endless possibilities. And media will go nuts over it. It will bring more promotion than Mountain Dew ever did.
....
The above is sarcastic.
I can't believe I'm going out of my to explicitly state this, but I am.

That was intense haha
I really don't get the reasoning behind this Virgin tornament. Did it net Halo 4 a lot press or players? Seems like it has been a cluster from the conception.

Ah. Just a scrub I see. Bitching at people when a game is 5 years old is childish. 5 star in H3 btw.
Also, don't cry over that. Guy's got issues. Grammar is important though. This is the interwebs after all.
