juices has been banned for a while. wonder how long.
Can someone please help me out. My Xbox One is connected to my PC monitor via HDMI but the only problem is that I can't get any sound because my monitor doesn't have a headphone jack. I've never bought a gaming headset before, so I was wondering if anyone knew if they work with the Xbox One (just for the game sound). Also, any brand recommendations?

No you!
idk as much as I liked Halo 2 I got a 360 for ChromeHounds, Kameo, Perfect Dark and the idea of Halo 3, not just Halo 3. * ChromeHounds is still the best.
Killzone, Knack and Planetside 2 are what drove me to PS4 (Knack is fun dammit!)
Just me but one game just doesn't do it lol

Tunavi is our interim juices for the next month. So good.
Oh wow. I wonder if Kenneth Scott went with her.
Pretty sure he is still at 343.
The only reason I have a 360 is because I wanted a Halo box. I didn't buy a single other game for at least 9 months after I purchased my 360 and Halo 3 together. Now I'm hooked on other games, but without Halo there is little chance I would even have gotten into the Xbox ecosystem at all.

Power Slayer was an Action Sack gametype back in Halo Reach, now it returns with Halo 4's refined scored system on top and infinite customization options.
This Slayer gametype is designed to allow players to gain special traits based on the types of kills they perform. Currently there are traits for Basic Kill, Melee Kill, Assassination Kill and Headshot Kill. Each time you perform one of these kills you will gain the traits assigned to that kill for 10 seconds (you can change this value)..
Killing another player during this period will refresh your timer back to 10 seconds and extend your powers. You can also chain them together to gain multiple types of powers, so if you Melee Kill a player and then Headshot Kill a player before your timer runs out, you’ll gain the traits of both kill types.
You can toogle teams on and off to play it FFA style!
These are the default settings of my own, you CAN and SHOULD make ones of your own, to better reflect your preferences.

I think it's more, work on Halo 4, ship it and then update resume and look for work elsewhere because you have the experience under your belt as well as the talking points.
I imagine Naughty Dog must be a better studio to work at, rather than work for a Microsoft corporate studio.
It's a bit disheartening because it seems like a somewhat high turnover of people in key positions.
Yeah and you seemingly blaming her for linear Halo.
Good gain for ND and big loss for 343. This does not mean Halo 5 will suck or be less pretty than Halo 4 but she was a pretty significant member of 343 and she has so much attention on her for a reason, she's pretty damn talented.
Uncharted 4 will be pretty and probably have good physics and Halo 5 will still be 60fps and have dedicated servers. That is all anyone should take from this but its still a significant loss on 343 no matter how its spun.
I was misguided.
Let's hope her leaving gives MS the kick up the ass they badly need for this franchise.
I really think population and DLC sales with Halo 4 did that but big name talent like her leaving may just give them the extra kick.
While I do not own a Xbox One I still hope Halo 5 is good for those who do/will own one.
Corrine Yu going to Naughty Dog is a HUGE loss for 343 and Microsoft and a HUGE win for Sony and Naughty Dog. Whatever she does will be something special.
On another note, I'm loving my Xbox One. Voice recognition pretty much works as advertised for me, as long as you give the "correct" commands. Switching between different activities is so fast and easy, I love it. Forza 5 doesn't scream next gen to me visually, but man is it a step up in terms of physics and gameplay. I still have to try out KI, Ryse, BF4 and AC4.
If any of you guys are getting or have Xbox One, add me up, my gt is Munish Thiara.

Maybe I'm late but I never saw this posted anywhere, anyway, we now know what John Howard(lead designer on Halo CE) is working on at Microsoft...

Yeah I've been spending my time between College Football, MLG (for the Halo teams), and playing the ESO beta.
Really happy for Primal. Sucks for Ogre not getting on a better Halo team for the event though. Actually seems like they are doing decent today. Hopefully they can get into Champ Losers.

Halo 1 and 2 where brilliant games and everyone was looking forward to another Halo game.
Is anyone actually looking forward to Halo 5 seeing as though the last 2 halo games where subpar?
Im shocked to see that the PS4 is about 100 quid cheaper than the 360 in the UK. I doubt I will buy either but thats a big price difference.

While you're making these, do you think there's any chance you could do a Team Hotshot 2.0? I always wanted to see a class-based variation of it. That is, you could use Legendary BRs as a base, but have three loadouts available:
POWER
HEALTH
SPEED
Power works the way it did in traditional Hotshot: Heat level 1 is upped attack and decreased speed and so on and so forth.
Health would be the same way, with a mix of shielding and shield recharge rate increased and lowering speed.
Speed would be a little different; Heat 1 would be 120% speed but 90% damage resistance / weapon damage, Heat 2 would be 150% but 80% damage resistance / weapon damage, etc.
Maybe you could even make it so that once a person's at max Heat (level 3), they'd get their respective powerup as an indicator (Damage Boost / OS / Speed Boost).
Xbox Fitness.... Seriously Microsoft? What a waste of talent
Very much looking forward to it

I asked last night and got no replies.
If not I'm probably going to redbox Ghosts and see how it is.

I think I have a crappy version of Hotshot already in my PC, will try to get it released first and then I'll cook something special for you.
MASSIVE waste of talent. What happened to Rare and recent departures over the years makes me think the Xbox division needs a reboot big time. Would benefit everyone really especially those who one the Xbox One.

Rare is working on an old ip i think, Phil Spencer was hinting this.
Banjo Threeie or bust
Xbox Fitness seems pretty cool and very few games like it are on the market. Especially considering how barren the developmental scene is on the Kinect.
But I guess anything that isn't a AAA title is a waste of time these days.

Shocking news indeed, makes me worried about the quality of the next Halo.

You know, by the time the next mainline Halo is out, Killzone ShadowFall will probably be mostly dead too. If Halo bombs, Activision's going to be in a pretty damn unique situation: they'll hold monopolies on both mainline, annualized shooters: Destiny and Call of Duty, both of which are multiplatform.
Destiny may not be a once-a-year deal, but if I'm remembering right the contract did have talks of "Comet" content packs that came out at a bi-annual rate in addition to a Destiny title every three years.

Graphics are the least of Halo 5's worries.

Oh yeah I mean for me I would still be hyped, but its not exactly a system seller any more which is sort of my point.
Unlike with Halo 3, I do want Halo 5 but not enough to make it a strong reason.. certainly not my sole reason for a Xbox One.
I would argue that Destiny is not really aiming to be a competitive multiplayer fps, I hope to be proved wrong but I dont think Bungie has much interest there. Also I figure Titanfall will put up big competition.
