Classic Australia/New Zealand Halo
Is that correct? I've been a member of Robot Entertainment's (rather dead) forums since they created their site. From the get-go they were adamant that they had nothing to do with Halo Wars nor the sustain team.
From what I remember, when ES shut down, 343 took over the reigns. RE had nothing to do with the franchise but rather started focusing on small games like Orcs Must Die.
That'd be weird for Robot to say that.. the Halo Wars website was even changed from Ensemble logos to Robot logos after they took over. There's still an article about Robot constructing a new test room for Halo Wars on the site. There's a whole bunch of other dev blogs from Robot on that site as well.

Wow. They pretty much predicted their own future there.

Just watched through the Global Championship final match again.
How anyone can say competitive Halo is unexciting I don't know. I knew the outcome and this still had me on the edge of my seat.

Who had ever said competitive Halo was unexciting? Halo is one of the few games that made MLG what it is today. It's one of the most exciting shooters and games to watch competitively. And it's ridiculous just how bad a shape competitive Halo is in, compared to Call of Duty. Hell, Halo is one of the only shooters I like watching other people play.
I have read so many people who say competitive Halo is dead and boring to watch. I just can't understand it. It's awesome to watch. Certainly better than CoD. It's sad MLG are CoD only now.

Hey everyone, just shut up about
how free DLC makes the game better for those that originally payed full price for both the game and all the DLC because the content is more integrated into their online experience (not completely integrated because storage space is a non-trivial limitation)
because
Microsoft is giving the game away for free
that's right, for free
so long as you have a $60.00 per year subscription

All correct, but to add some context, Bungie's obligation was for one map pack on Reach, at which point the support/sustain went to 343. So it really wasn't Bungie doing the outsourcing. (I know you know this, just making note of the transition timing.)
yeah.

I haven't been keeping up with halo for a whole - have I missed much? Has 343 planned a halo 3 playlist consolidation?

Prepare for great disappointment.
No consolidation. However, they're "working closely with Xbox LIVE to ensure that players have a great experience with the Games with Gold program."

Actually the game stays even if your account goes silver also you can buy 1 month of gold for a specific free game if you want, even you can use a friend's gold account on your console and get the game for free too.
Half of a coffee shot!
Funny. Also a total waste of money.

So the GOTY edition of Halo 4 contains no new content at all. All the extra content, all the DLC is is provided via download codes.
Disgraceful. A solid product from a multi-billion dollar franchise alright.

The discs aren't even different; it's just the regular version with a different insert. Geez
Saddening really.
Yeah, that sucks. I really would have preferred all DLC on disc like the Halo 3 Mythic disc. Hopefully they do something similar with Halo 5 if it is a good game and I'd actually even want to buy a GOTY edition of it.

I don't see why you guys are complaining. OG Halo 4 was $60 and GOTY Halo 4 is $40. That represents a decrease of twenty dollars - I could get my car washed or even get four cups of coffee with that. I don't understand why gamers are so entitled nowadays. Everything is advertised as-is and 343 has been nothing but straightforward with us about this release, and now you guys have the gall to complain about discounts? Fucking gamers, man.
$5 Coffee is just Ice Cream in the morning. Drink a 1000 calories then sit in a chair for 8 hours.
