GAME have sold out of Halo 4 Limited Editions in the UK both instore and online.
Amazon still selling it at £60, which seems reasonable.

Would that be playable, Iv seen hundred of hi res locations built in the cryengine that would never be playable because of the poly count and texture resolutions. It looks nice sure but its got a lot of lighting bloom and hyper reflectivity that push it past realistic looking in that CGI movie esq unnatural look which is pretty jarring from a "immersive" stand point
Remember in Halo 3 where they started to introduce new helmets? They all had in-fiction reasons for being different, EVA allows drivers to more easily look around, CQB provides extra protection around the head for Spartans who like a bit of fisticuffs. The only real exception was Hayabusa.
Now they all look silly and I really struggle to discern a practical reason for most of them.
Heh - that's pretty much exactly what I thought of, too.
Sorry for ruining that helmet for anyone.

I like a handful of the helmets. Some of them really remind me of the game Vanquish too.

Here's my match from last night against the pro team Classic. Russo embarrasses me pretty badly, not gonna lie. It was a whole lot of fun though.
(It might still be processing. Will be in HD)

Yeah. The descriptions really made the different armours seem more than just an afterthought or some random design that they chucked in for the sake of it (A couple exceptions). It's odd that for a dev that's apparently so focused with making everything work within canon, that we get helmets that look like they do - completely random and nonsensical, not to mention impractical.
Not that I don't appreciate the effort that they made to give us new armour to work with, it's just that the designs don't really work.

Ha, another M6 purist. Some of the helmet designs in Halo Reach looked great. I bought Pilot first thing and never went back.
Unrelated, but thought you guys might wanted to know.
Borderlands 2 is now the biggest UK game launch of 2012

I have to admit that I wasn't a fan of the gun sounds originally, but after hearing them through my gaming headphones, I am a total convert. good lord.
Never played Borderlands. Is it worth it? It looks a bit weird.
And they're still compressed in that video. Sounds much better in person.

It's very weird, but very awesome.
Think Mad Maxx meets Diablo + humour.
The perfect way to kill time between now and Halo 4.

Had a quick look at the control schemes for Halo 4, and Recon and Bumper Jumper looked pretty similar to me. (Except for BJ being LB to crouch and Recon being LB for AA) I know some people here have said they want to use recon, I was curious why?
Im leaning towards BJ personally, although I might do what I do in Reach and use Defualt when jetpacking and BJ any other time.

Welcome to Team Slurp! Your Chapstick is in the mail along with your SLRP Starter Kit Instructional DVD.

Does team slrp have a briefing packet of any kind? Could you please tell us whats inside that briefing packet?
Does the DVD come with a second disk? What is on that disk?
Because Recon is classic halo and exact same with the addition of a new button. But default is B to crouch and LS to sprint.
The briefing packing is patented information and cannot be disclosed until joining.
And as for disc 2...you don't wanna know.

Ah I see.
I think I will be sticking with Bumper Jumper! Seems pretty good except for if you want to use the Jetpack.

Funny story; I tried watching the wubwub version of the Covie weapon video on xbox Waypoint, and it buffered so badly that the audio and video were completely out of sync. Switched over to the youtube app, no problems whatsoever and was able to watch the non-wub version from the Waypoint channel.
WAT
I was team Slurp after RTX. Never got my DVD, though.

But Borderlands isn't a exclusive like Halo, so maybe Halo doesn't break the record.
But BL2 deserved it, love the game, will fill the time till November and even more time if Halo 4 sucks
Thank you - it's been driving me mad that no one else looked at that and saw Planet of the Apes.
Picked it up, anyone play co-op late nights EST? GT Beckx

Nothing against Borderlands, but Halo is Halo.
Remember this when Halo 3 launched?
Reach did better than 3
No doubt in my mind Halo 4 will be the second biggest selling game of the year, right after black ops.

No, I heard it was just an elaborate prank. 343 is going to tell us that it doesn't really exist one week from launch. LOL, those whippersnappers, always getting into trouble.
And regen field is no problem. It may as well be called enemy gravitational field. Just throw or shoot something in it and someone will die.

We've know this for months.
Also, you can kill people in the regen field, so I see it much less annoying than AL.

Thanks again for the birthday wishes, everyone! It was a good weekend.
Oh, wow. That sucks. We had a thread, which was linked here in the OT and on HaloGAF.com/PAX, sorry you missed out!
Just assumed I would come up a little short and wrote it off as another paxpense; I didn't care as long as everyone else was content. Also, there was tequila involved.

To be honest, I never bothered to count it.

Also, there was tequila involved.No, the Bravo one was the most recent. I've been incredibly busy lately and our schedules just haven't lined up yet. Hoping to get one done soon before we do an in-person one at NYCC. I still need to sort through the video I recorded at PAX and throw something together.

That's no excuse for some fan favorites now to return. Noble Team, Security, Pilot ect

Stalker, Recon, Orbital, Recruit, Scout and Mark 6 Classic.
I particularly like Stalker, but that's one of the Specialization helmets, right?

I count 22. And I'm actually thrilled they set aside that many for specializations. Something special for those who invested in that path.
There are actually more than what is shown in that image. I can think of at least a few that aren't on there. I think I counted something like 34 total.
I wish Halo was a 3rd person shooter so I could see my helmet
Security was a nod to Marathon, so maybe they left it out to respect Bungie? Most of the Noble team helmets are back, just redesigned.
Also, I would assume some helmets will be DLC, so go ahead and get your wallet ready Stalker.
Tashi, I actually wanted to see a spin off 3rd person game that focused on the spartans abilities in combat. Would have been like Unreal Championship 2, has potential!

Orbital will be mine.
Third person shooters aren't very fun at all though
You like him to what?

Both Raider and Ranger look like cybernetic puppy dogs sticking their tongues out. And Defender... just looks too... Happy? I don't know, but I am not running around with that awkward face on my spartan, lol.

So people really don't like the helmets? I think literally half of them are awesome. I guess the 343 designers and I have bad taste (edited for shitty grammar).
