EDIT: Never mind should of continued to read.
I have 4GB and the only time I've ever ran out of RAM was when I had like 50 tabs open on Chrome. Other than that, I've rendered videos, ran Crysis on fairly high settings, etc. with zero issues. And are you guys certain that RAM speed is a big deal?
This is what Hazaro said in his thread regarding RAM in general:

4GB might be good right now but its affordable and easy enough to future proof a system in terms of ram at this point that its better to do it than not. You can get yourself 4x 4GB at 1600mhz sticks for less than £100 its well worth the investment and its something you wont have to upgrade for sometime.
lol yea. Fucking Bomber nuking himself was hilarious.

Would have been such a different game if that didn't happen.

While that context is important and makes sense, it doesn't reinforce my RIP Halo agenda, so I'm choosing to ignore it.
Thanks for correcting me.
RAM speed kinda matters, when you want to overclock, but for normal usage and light video editing/ rendering 8GB of a good and low profile RAM (Corsair Vengeance; Samsung 1,35V or Kingston HyperX) brand is enough.
Side note: If you buy Kingston RAM, you support e-sport arround the world.
Trust Hazaro on this one.
Got to agree with that. Even if 8GB are more than enough now, you can always get additional RAM, if you can afford it. Makes video/audio editing/rendering a lot faster, too.
So, you have 3 RAM sticks? This isn't really good, because RAM works either on dual channel or on quad channel mode. Depends on which motherboard and chipset you have.
You are slowing down your RAM speed with that. Always buy in pairs of 2 or 4 sticks and it also should be the same brand.

Was partying all day, will need to catch up on that Starcraft.
MLG halo 4 had around 40,000
But who expected otherwise was a fool, still sad though
There was minerals and maybe some gas of the Vespene kind.

"Running out of RAM" is not the problem. You see the more RAM that is consumed, the harder it is (i.e. the longer it takes) for the kernel to find free memory. Think of it as a game of linear tetris (one line high, and only blocks 1x1, 2x1, 4x1), the more blocks you put down, the harder it is to find a spot for another 1x4, and you have to shuffle things around. Computationally, decreasing access speed (increasing RAM clock speed) decreases delay between caches and RAM, which is quite important for performance.
looks fine apart from the gpu being painfully low end. You also could have saved some money by going with an i5 if all you will be doing is gaming. Hyperthreading doesn't have any benefits within gaming yet.
Hey don't mock. Once you go Gui, you don't go back.
By the way, I remember that was some fool that wanted to co-op the campaign. Where are you?!

You can't compare them. MLG Halo 4 was a pre-release tournament. People were excited to see the game. No, they were hyped. Excited. If Black Ops 2 had had a MLG pre-release tournament, it would have clearly gained higher numbers than 40,000.

Not directly, but indirectly. Logical cores have their advantages, but I'd still have to agree with you.
Looking at the past game updates we have got, I'm keeping my expectations lower than low.

Downgraded from lower than low to abysmal. I wish I wasn't this way.Think about the red X...

cheer up big guy
Pretty sure we'll be getting spectator mode.
Theater mode for campaign along with scoring.
100% classic playlist with no sprint or AA's or ordnance drops.
Keeping my expectations low though.
French guy keeping his expectation low. BAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA.
Expectations really low so yo momma's still bangable
How very French of you, motherlover.
If we don't get our hopes up for lots of fixes and stuff, we can't be hurt by 343 again.
TU speculation time?
No more nerfs. Calling it now.
They better decrease the amount of damage stickies do to vehicles. That shit's annoying.
I'd love for things like stickies to do more proportional damage to the players insides the vehicles, rather than the vehicles themselves--I'd like to try and kill the enemy occupants of a vehicle and try and get the tank or whatever myself rather than just spamming it until it's dead.
That'd be nice, it's just the loadouts broke vehicles in this game (and so many other things).I don't think they could even patch that in because of how the player health and vehicle are separate. I'd personally like to back to Halo CE era vehicles that are invincible, but still player health dependent(for driving).
Of course but on the other hand you can't compare a mlg COD tournament to just simple Halo 4 streams.
But of course CoD is more streamed and watched.
edit: Oh yeah is anything green today in matchmaking? Or what was it about?
In certain playlists you turn green. Like if you're the king in regicide you turn green or if you have the ball in Grifball you turn green. Team Objective, Majestic FFA, CTF, Flood, Regicide, and Grifball all have this feature today.
This is so much better than campaign theater. I'm so happy they took the time to implement features such as these.
What do you mean? They switched the settings so they turn green. They didn't completely add a new feature into the game.
I know, I was being sarcastic.

Well it's a new morning and I know we've moved on a new page or several for inferior 25 per page and 50 per pagers so I'll repost.
This weapon simply needs to get out of Loadouts. I wouldn't mind them as Ordnance drops and as a replacement for the "thousands" of power weapons which you can get.
The worst thing about the boltshot is that it's better than the Ordnance shotguns.

For St Ps Days they Should have just mAde a ffa oddball game type where the oddball is reskinned to a mini keg and everyone is halo 3 armor chief green. Pretty simple goal, first one to drink x Amount of the keg wins. The downside, the further your lead, the more fucked up your vision gets. Shit would be hilarious by the end. Make it GTA IV levels of drunkeness.
Have it combine speed boost, damage boost and flood vision. Any lens flare blinds you.

Power ups placed around the map are fried eggs, pizza, water, and fruit smoothies.
It'll be national news. Halo promotes drinking to kids, outrage as young boys and girls have to chase down kegs etc.
Even though it's a game rated M for Mature. What's even worse, the drinking age in America is a laughable 21 years old. So you'd have the game promoting something that is illegal for 18-20 year old Americans.
On a related note, was at a sports bar last night, some guys almost came to blows on whether it's St. Patty's Day or St. Paddy's Day lol.
