If they put it on 360 then no one will be tempted as much to get xbox one.

Not really because the Xbox One version is the best version with more value.

Maybe they are running two engines again and/or really enhanced the graphics with lots of next gen stuffs. With the weak hardware it doesn't surprise me really.

Yea but some will settle for less. They are out there,if it's only on xbox one then they have no choice.
Playing splitscreen with my friends, they watch my screen to see my shield status and gun heat status, and this gives them a wonderful advantage as drivers. If they had their own systems and screens...
Seriously, why can't driver see all the relevant data of their passengers and gunners? I figure most drivers can pay attention to the map, their own status and their passengers status.

Well, some people won't buy the Xbox One so they loose a potential Halo 2 sale and a Xbox One sale. Selling H2A on the 360 would grant them money from that potential buyer.
I'm saying this because some people won't jump to the Xbox One but they would gladly buy H2A for their Xbox 360.
My friend canceled the trade.He didn't want my PS4.
I would gladly buy you a PS3 for your PS4, you goober

You are right but i think MS is willing to leave it at that. Dead Rising 3 could have been on 360 but they needed to have reasons to sell the xbox one.

They thing is that they are trying to convert as many people to the Xbone as possible, and don't care about pleasing people who would buy H2A for 360 if given the choice. It's part of a larger strategy to convert people to the new platform, not just "sell as many of this one game as possible."
For them it's more way, way more important to sell the new platform than keep users of the old platform happy.
Prioritizing support of their latest console over their last one upsets you?
Jesus.
No.
You have to be boosting that shit. No one ever, and I mean EVER, has gotten a kill with a pulse grenade without boosting. It's never happened. Impossible.Oh yeah I wanted to post this when we were talking about Pulse Grenades earlier.
I have a bunch of those kills, around a hundred if i recall correctly. Used to use Pulse 'nades quite a lot, then i switched to Plasmas for vehicle destruction. EDIT actually, not quite that many probably. How do i see my total weapon stats, not map/gametype specifics...
Fun and interesting 'nade but not very effective... good concept, flawed execution.
I want Spike Grenades back, the most fun grenades in any game.
EDIt why is the waypoint stats site so fucking bad? It doesn't show totals and the user interface is abysmal and un-intuitive.

Based on what? I know about 7 people personally that have said they would buy a xbox one for it. You are completely underestimating the cultural impact Halo 2 had on people who are now in their early to mid 20s. That shit was THE HYPE when I was growing up.
H2A as a Xbone Exclusive is fine. Expecting a AAA title to have a release on a last gen console is borderline entitled. You didn't make the leap to next gen yet you can't expect the same experience as people who did. Incentive for moving to the Xbone is a major focus for MS and this isn't something exclusive to them. iOS stops allowing older phones new revisions. Sony don't release The Order 1886 on ps3.

Thats easy, melee someone then grenade = instant kill.
I usually did that on Halo customs
Pretty much. Most of them I got in FFA.
You really do like to show off don't you... I've got none in multiplayer I think, I killed a crawler with one when I hit in the face. I would check but waypoint is crap.Oh yeah I wanted to post this when we were talking about Pulse Grenades earlier.

Too bad the pulse grenade take some time to actually deploy and then explode. First time I saw I tought it would be a EMP grenade for vehicles.
Haha so did I.

What map is Vertigo? EDIT oh, a DLC map i don't have.
The only maps i play (in practice) in Halo 4 are Ragnarok, Longbow, Meltdown, Exile, and Vortex EDIT and Settler. Complex is unplayable due to framerate in splitscreen mode*, as are any DLC BTB maps (how many there are of those anyway, 1?), not that i ever see them.
*Meaning we quit the game everytime the map comes up. And then the game tries to force us there again and again... I'll play it once you get rid of the goddamn framerate issues.

Vertigo is that map with the electricity pylon things? No idea how it plays like half the other dlc, it's non existent in matchmaking. Shatter and Wreckage are half decent dlc certainly better than meltdown and vortex. If there is other btb maps as dlc then I've not seen them once.
Is anyone else getting the new Wolfenstein?

No. A new iteration is different from a remake and I just told my opinion on why MS should release on the 360 aswell. I know they're not doing it and I know why but I don't agree with it.
Yes because it's a remake. I'm sorry if that upsets you but I have my reasons to dislike what they might do even though I totally understand it.

Last time I bought a revamp of an old shooter it was duke nukem forever. Never again. I'd rather wait for the post-launch reviews.
Then there's no issue. I'd be upset too in your position. At least you understand their motive.
I have always hated Heavies gametype, in Halo 3, Reach, and i won't ever even touch it in 4. For all my love of BTB, i don't like heavy vehicles, except the Wraith. EDIT that doesn't mean i won't use the tank or Mantis if i get it in BTB... They just trivialize the game completely.

There was never a multiplayer map with the redrunner scheme, was there?
This area was neat
It's hard to appreciate the design of these maps when you're getting your ass kicked by Prometheans.
I believe the top one resembles the bottom of Solace just a tad bit, and while there's nothing I can really think of that's based off that Infinity environment, it would make for a great remake of Isolation. Sorta.

I'm sad because I might not buy a Xbox One and H2A would be my last Halo.

Guardians of the Galaxy poster vaguely reminds me of Halo Reach:
Also, I think Starlord has a Plasma Rifle.

This may just be an excuse to share the awesome poster here.
The original silhouette version of Reach poster is the best (the silhouettes are actually from the concept arts). The updated one (retail model silhouettes) is worse, and the one with details, not just silhouettes is the worst.
EDIT the one above is the original.
EDIT GODDAMN IT! Now i remember all the speculation who the Spartans were... what kind of plot and story Reach would have. All the speculation were better than what we got. FUCK!

Is that James Franco, Hank Schrader, a lizard, a tree and a raccoon? These are the people/things that are supposed to protect me???
Not running anymore.

It's Chris Pratt, but I see what you mean in this picture haha
Ok, so they are Brute Plasma Rifles.

They did, like six times.
Yep I was so excited when people said who they could be and we imagined what would happen in the game.
As soon as I knew we would play completely new chars and Spartan 3s I was so disappointed in Reach already..
I like the setting and everything and I know I'll probably get a copy, but not from the start I'll see if it's any good before getting it.
I only know Chris Pratt who looks far younger than he is and Vin Diesel is the tree looking guy.

Speaking of Marvel, Ultron may be the closest we get to seeing a live action Didact visually:
Shame the Didact wasn't that interesting in Halo 4.

Nope, kinds sucks that 90% of the maps are "Rundown Human Settlement" theme when you have such awesome environments to work with.
Where is this from?
dont even try to get my hopes up
