LOL dat Canada armor. People will use it too.

Despite HaloGaf reactions, I'm glad they have weapon skins though. Although I hate retailer exclusive stuff.

 

[Poker Face]

I can understand skins for weapons and stuff that fit maps, like the icy warthog in Avalanche, but this stuff just looks ugly and I don't get the point. I know it's not something that is going to be a big selling point for people so why do it? It's like another case of people thinking they know why CoD sells so they try to get that money but they don't really know.

Yea. Do people actually buy games because they can customize how their character/gun looks?

First Retailer Bullshit Exclusives Announced

EB Canada - BR Skin and Armour

Repost for new page.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

I'm okay with weapon skins and armor skins. Increasing customization without affecting gameplay is fine by me.

I'm not happy about retailer exclusives though. I'd feel better if it just let you unlock something early.

 

[Gui_PT]

What's up with the ass area of the armor?

Edit: Looks like a toilet lid

 

[Aggrotek]

It looks like his groin area is very unprotected.

What's up with the ass area of the armor?

Also, this. Looks like a box is attached to his ass.

 

[VivaciousJazzy]

As long as these aren't tacky I'm perfectly fine with it.

 

[Gazzawa]

This, FUCK.

at least I'm level headed to understand its superficial at least.

ha

lo

Man's gotta poop don't he?

 

[Deputy Moonman]

KILL IT NOW. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

But in all seriousness I think the camo, and the skin both look awful

As long as it doesn't affect game-play I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other.

Retailer exclusive BULLSHIT.

So does this pretty much confirm different purchase bonuses from different retailers?

 

[Overdoziz]

Much better...?

 

[Striker]

Those patterns are ugly as shit.

It just might. It's a terrible start.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Yes.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Halo is dead.

 

[erpg]

I get it, it's red and white because we're Canadian. Ha.

Throw some geese and beaver decals and you've got yourself a deal, 343i.

 

[Poker Face]

Halo is dead.

 

[HigherLevel]

Halo is dead.

They are ugly but it hardly ruins the game. It's just cosmetic.

 

[squidhands]

At this time of day? Nope

Breakfast of champions, beyotch. ;-)

At this time of day? Especially

At this time of day? Pandas.

Bless you both.

Those patterns are ugly as shit.

My god, everything about those pictures is so completely wrong. Quite possibly the ugliest helmet I've ever seen in a Halo game. Hopefully that's the extent of the retailer exclusive garbage; they can keep it.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

This has got to be a joke by Frankie. I mean look, they even removed the cod piece for easy nut kicking access.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Visor is a maple syrup colour.

 

[Slightly Live]

Play.com reported on their Twitter earlier that they had something Halo related to announce at 4pm - so UK'ers, keep your eyes peeled if you're arsed.

From the Gaming side.

 

[Blue Ninja]

It has begun.

 

[The Librarian]

He looks so sad

Probably because he's stuck wearing terrible looking armor. Bring back the superior Mark VI!

Spoiler

I hope the Mark VI is available as an armor option.

 

[squidhands]

I can't believe nobody has avatard that shit yet.

I have no strong feelings, one way or the other.

Probably because he's stuck wearing terrible looking armor.

I know I'm overly cynical, not just about this, but about everything. But holy fuck, that armor is fugly.

 

[Overdoziz]

Maybe you can still unlock it in the game but with the pre-order bonus you get it straight away.

Spoiler

As if.

What if... some of the MP maps are locked and you unlock them with player progression or special retailer deals?

I'm fine with the first half of that if there are like 30 maps.

This.

I'm all for weapon skins (GIMME MY DARK BATTLERIFLE NOM NOM!) and wild new armor paintjob styles, but fuck retailer exclusive crap. :/

 

[User 73706]

Is it just me or does the helmet look gigantic on him?

Also, Hockey Stick Gravity Hammer skin + bagged milk armor ability or bust

 

[Poker Face]

*NOTE: Halo Infinity Multiplayer will revert players to default colors in some competitive modes.

hmmm

edit: probably for team games i suppose

 

[Overdoziz]

Instead of using resources to create camo skins they could've used them to make Halo 4 run at 60 fps.

For shame 343, for shame.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

As long as I get my Gold with pink polka dots skins when I pre-order the LE, no one gets hurt.

God DAMN that armor design/camo is ugly as sin. Only Letters would rock some shit like that.

 

[ZalinKrow]

Really don't like stuff being retailer exclusive :/ I don't mind the armour too much, I've always been a fan of bizarre helmets. Not sure why. I really can't wait to see what they've done with the rest, I'm hoping for a bigger selection than Reach Even though Reach was a step up from 3's selection, I'm greedy and want moa.

Spoiler

I had to.

Smh. C'mon, at least try and be funny if you're gonna be stupid

EB games Canada gets exclusive BR camo

Retailer exclusive BULLSHIT.

Yup, this. Bad form, but entirely expected. Sigh. I hate so much about this generation.

Edit: to be clear, weapon and armor skins are pretty cool; vehicle skins would be great too (such as the ones on Avalanche). It's retailer-exclusive stuff I object to.

Sorry, I'll put a smiley at the end of every post I make so it's more amusing to you and Hydra.

It's called Dutch humour, no one but them understands it.

It's going to be part of a new assassination animation where you defecate on your opponent.

Overdoziz's "get pooped on" to become a gameplay feature? Nooooooooo.

Either that or the Thousand Years of Pain technique (don't google that)

Play.com now lists Halo 4 as: Halo 4 (With Play.com Exclusive Pre-Order Bonus DeadEye Helmet Skin).

Link here.

STOP IT, PLEASE

Play.com, dead eye helmet.
