You see the art on that card? You see it?!
Now that's how you grab the attention of kids and older Halo fans like us without crappy art like in those recent comic panels; it's so damn adorable.
When's HaloKart?
I'll buy 2.
Speedy will buy 20.

They made a new one? Nice, I was afraid that they stopped after the first two.
Love the credits in those acts.
Those look really great.

Feel free to ship mine any day now Sideshow, any day now...
So glad they made the visor reflective. The original pictures they showed just had the visor painted gold.
Just the Red and Blue ones are limited to 100. Regular Master Chief is 750, and limited edition Master Chief with swap out Needler is 350.
Too bad all of that only works if it's within the confines of a game that rewards skill and has a significant skill gap. So it probably won't work for Halo, if past experience is any indication.

I bet you $50 bucks that most are bought by scalpers.

That rumor contradicted Microsoft's implication of the system, and also originated from a PasteBin post that also spouted a ton of crap "leaks" about Halo 5 and such.
CBoAT than came and tried to confirm it, but it still contradicts Microsoft, and Aaron Greenberg himself stated was incorrect. Pardon my choice to believe an official statement from the company rather than a leaker on NeoGAF who's no always 100%.
no. i will not bet you.
speaking on behalf of halogaf, we would expect nothing less.

But they're culling all the weapons except for the CE Pistol, and even the grenades will explode CE Pistols! Halo 5 will be fine.
I have still yet to see a single post against the CE Pistol and how it wouldn't work with the previously suggested changes.
Feels like 2004-2010 all over again.

Don't ever take my Twitter seriously. Everything is seriously a "I'm bored let's just tweet something" and I do so with my current emotions. I was very excited and happy for the last 4 hours of school so everything I've been doing lately was with a tone of excitement and silliness.
I'm a glass half full kinda guy.

So pissed I did not jump on the train with this one. I won't miss out ThreeA's Chief.
Damn fun to play Halo 4 after a long break (friend gave 3 month Gold time card).
However, why the fuck are there maps in Halo 4 MP that have so bad framerate issues with split-screen they're basically unplayable?
Complex, some forged maps, some DLC maps...
Also, mixed Team Slayer and Infinity Slayer sucks, should be on or the other only, per playlist.

Halo 4 currently is a solid game IMO, the maps could be better though and those few quality DLC ones are sorely missed in the wild. I'd like to see the next Halo title support splitscreen at a locked 30fps to avoid such issues.
Also last night playing in a full party and due to severely low populations could not play objective in Reach at all, could not play objective in Halo 3 at all so we just banged out customs all night. Still damn fun and worth switching the X1 off for a while.
Everyone have a great holiday season and in early JAN I'm hosting a Halo LAN day/night at my place, so far we're forcing Halo 2, 3 & Halo 4 to be brought along. Any gametypes or settings suggestions for LAN fun?
Was pretty much a part guarantee we'd see the Arbiter soon. I mean look how we ended Halo 3 and now we have some opposing faction of Elites/Covenant, everyone who played Halo 4 wondered what the Arbiter would do.
I actually think these types of interviews are beneficial for 343. Helps people get to know the team and studio better. I hope for Halo 5 launch, lead up, there is FAR greater community interaction and events. Next year's 343 Day better be some huge event.

Official thread for change lists and dates
Depends on how long since you last played. Recent things are turbo update to all weapons, movement etc e.g. 4SK BR, 110% movement. Then there was the championship bundle for Pitfall & Vertigo maps plus a few abilities like recharge etc and resistor has been released to all now. The second most recent bulletin has a nice playlist change roadmap for the next few months too.
In this case, for me at least, the glass is less than half full. Why? Because something like presupposes a skill-based game. People will now think that if they have a higher rank, it actually means something. I don't want to be ranked by a system that claims to rank players based on skill in a game that has a very low skill-gap. It's random and frustrating.
I play Halo to have fun, and fun for me means competition in a skill-based arena where my ability, decisions and actions have a meaningful impact on the game. I don't want a Halo game like the one's we've had recently, and a ranking system is merely an insult at that point.
It almost implies that they think all you need is a good ranking system to make a game competitive, which is just not the case.
Eh, when the first map pack was released... so... Last Jan/Feb?

Don't worry about the spanish, you'll see it in english in your xbox unless you change your language configuration to Spanish or Mexican.
If you'd like me to support another language just PM and I'll send you some sentences to translate lol
Edit: here is the complete strings list, if you were capable of ranslating them to one of the following languages (Portuguese, German, Italian or French) PM me the list.

So today at work I asked a kid what he was asking for for Christmas. He turned to me and got so excited to tell me about Skylanders. "And you get these people...and you can swap them!"
I was like, okay wow that's so cool. What else?
Then he gets all quiet like he's embarrassed to say it, "Um...Halo."
Oh really? I know your older brother plays it. Do you too?
"Yeah I'm not good though. I die a lot. But I really like the toys. There's this one toy! He's got, like, white armor! And orange parts! And he's the bad guy! He's so cool!"
He was talking about Didact. And I cannot disagree. Diddy looks pretty darn cool. And this kid has great taste. He's five.

It's been like this for a month. The key is to not come here and deal with the Shit Post Triumvirate.

Yup, didact's armor is prety badass.
Only issue for me was the helmet. Felt a little too... human for me. I'd almost rather have had something closer to the Prefect armor--more angular and protruding.
The way it assembled was pretty cool. Iron Man-esque.
Found this on a somewhat famous artists website...

I just thought that was a little weird that they would reach out to him

Is the second one actually a Halo 4 helmet? Looks a lot like Reach Hazop.

Iron-Man esque? I'm thinking Transformers from this, looks cool though.

My first thought when I saw Didact's armor was basically the evil Forerunner version of CryGuy's armor. (crysis dudebro)

I loved hazop before it was an ugly sad helmet.
One of the few scenes wearing the helmet and never see him again in the entire campaign, Dead Space armor have the same effect too.
I wonder what he'd have looked like if the same treatment had been applied to the Didact's armor from Legends.

I would've liked that as well, if it had been done right. I'm sure they had tons of designs laying around, I wish they'd kick a couple our way just to see them.
I wish we didn't get to see Librarian or Didact as they really are in a sense. I liked when the Forerunners were more mysterious. It's sort of like how Mass Effect basically ruined any mythology or lore about the Protheans by making Javik a crew member.
We only hear Librarians voice and we only see Didact in full armor. Maybe save it all for the end during some final fight with him etc.

Well I guess for someone who saw H2 as the beginning of the end, you're pretty jaded at this point. I'm competitive as well and have been able to enjoy just about all the Halo games on a competitive level. Personally, I don't see the next Halo being the 2nd coming of CE but that doesn't make it a game that isn't competitively viable.
But hey, different people enjoy Halo for different reasons. Sucks that you can't enjoy the last Halo games.
