No. You get Dewloads of XP.
Congratulations! Your Spartan has unlocked the Insulin Support Upgrade!

Halo |OT9| One Final Effort Is All That Remains
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
Or they could go the Gears route and just throw in double XP weekends (or 3X, 10X, 32X) over all playlists. Shit was crazy, but it got a ton of people to randomly fill the game for weekends.
Taco Bell really needs to get in on this action. They already have Doritos and Mountain Dew brands in house...

Worth it. Besides, what else would I have to drink with all the Doritos I'm gonna be eating? Sometimes you just gotta live life on the edge, Breggman. Level 50 doesn't just reach itself. It takes hard work, dedication, and bottles upon bottles of Mountain Dew.
And Doritos Locos Game Fuel Tacos would be a welcome addition.
Doritos aren't apart of the Dexp thing this time.
I think i'll do Cheezits this time around. That's what my snack of choice was with CE. Cheeze its, diced peperjack, and grapes.
>Natural Disaster happens in December
>>Food Shelter didn't have room for water after abundance of local donations
>>>Only thing to drink is Flat mountain dew (enough for the entire state of CA)
All I know is - my local food shelters are going to have an enormous donation of sloshing, capless mountain dew bottles come November.

Wait a second... my college had Halo Reach Doritos when they were out.
I've got free (about $6 per day) lunch there.

lol, this reminds me of that evade gif from Reach during the pre launch phase. Wish I could find it, a spartan evades on the turret walkway of Asylum and flies half way across the map.
Oh, and congrats 343! I've successfully stayed off the hype train for many months, but now that we're close, I've punched my ticket. Can't wait to try this game out for myself...
Also, Mt. Dew, straight into my veins plz.
Same here.
Never forget.

Absolutely agree, and drinking nothing but water until we get gamefuel at our store, fuck yes!
What am I never forgetting?
The day you joined the ranks of those on the hype train. We saved you a seat!
I tried, but Halo has me by the balls.

Congratulations to 343!
I can't even imagine what folks like Frank and Bonnie are feeling right now when they first met in 2008 about what the hell they were going to do with Halo.

I've noticed the switch. Seriously 0-60. I think it happened to me like that as well but it was earlier.

Rad, but also incredibly lame that they couldn't put this in the LE now that they're making it.
I wonder if it would be better value to just buy the Standard Edition and use the extra $40 on the Blu Ray of FUD and War games pass. I can't think of much outside the in-game content that's exlusive to the LE.
If it was on the PS3, they probably would have. But giving out a disc that's unplayable on their console? That'd be silly

So, you can get the Specializations early access as preorder bonuses, you can buy FUD on Blu-Ray, and you can get the war games map pass separately. The Limited Edition's exclusives are a snazzy case, a booklet, two skins and an emblem.
What video is this from? It's not linked to on HBO...

Congrats to everyone at 343! I'm sure it has to be weird knowing that your baby will be out in the wild in just a few
weeks.
Frankie, David, I'd ask one of you to punch my ticket for the hype train, but each of you have done that many times over during the past couple years. Thanks.

They've contracted me out to help with that.
I'm just begging you aren't serious.
Nah, it just comes with a medical bill (which the rest of us will pay with our taxes).
Nah, not 100% serious. But a healthy amount of medical bills go unpaid every year. I'm stereotyping a bit on this, but a significant percentage of those unpaid bills are due to chronic diseases usually related to obesity and smoking. When a hospital gets zero dollars back from an ER visit (or in hospital stay - sometimes a week or more at a time) that cost is going to come out of some other coffer. In some instances it is paid for by your/mine insurance plan or in our own medical fees. Some of that money comes from govermental support (ie Medicare and Medicaid) which is directly funded by your tax dollars.
If we cut out obesity and smoking from the entire population you could literally pay less in taxes and not cut a single service. (current debt levels not taken into account).

Make sure there's enough room on that edge for a dialysis machine. I, meanwhile, will be taking Papa Walshy's advice and drinking only water while I play Halo 4. And yes, before you ask, I have a whole case of adult diapers to get me through the first week. Won't have to get up for anything!
This is how not to do video stabilization on Off-screen Halo footage. (Trippy as fuck, though)
Haha, it's like Halo for the wii or, *shudder*, Kinect!

Where are you guys seeing that Double EXP is offered through Doritos, too?
I was hoping they'd stop doing that, seeing as though i was ripped off a few times from people just writing down the code on the back of the bag (during MW3 Dexp) and redeeming it before i bought the damn bag
@monster- nah, it just gives you more Dexp "time"
With Mw3, it was something like 15 minutes for a small bag, 45 minutes for a large bag.
hour and a half for a 12 pack of dew, too.
Also; Does anyone know if Wired controllers cause that annoying buzzing noise when using Turtle Beach Headsets, or is that only when using a play n' charge kit?

For real though, I'm going to be nomming the shit out of that Gamefuel. Loved it back in the Halo 3 days, very glad to see it return.
If Doritos offer double XP as well, gonna stock up on those as well. I wonder if they combine to give you 4x XP? If so, I could honestly see a lot of people here "prestiging" on launch day. Assuming a run of the 1st tier of progression takes ~24 hours.

You wouldn't happen to have a mobile device sitting anywhere near your setup would you?

I dunno, why not offer both a stream-able version like they're already doing in addition to a disc for those that can play it? It doesn't cost much to make the disc, and everyone would be happy.
But it's too late for them to throw it in, so I guess it's not really worth arguing about, haha.
Naw. What i'm saying is that the headset only makes the buzzing noise when i have the controller plugged into the Xbox. The problem is that my rechargeable battery isn't recharging anymore and i can't tell if it's the battery or the controller being broken, or just the play and charge cable being screwed up somehow
Thinking i might just go with a hardwired controller.
I don't know the ways of gaf too well yet, so i hope you see this response as an edit
- Do you have a wireless headset or a wired headset? The only thing pushing me away from a wired controller is the fact that my headset chords already annoy the crap out of me. I can't imagine having to untangle that crap every time i want to game.
Bregmann Roche

I never had issues with wireless controllers with my headset (not a Turtle Beach), but I switched to a wired setup for 2 reasons:
1. I was tired of dealing with battery bullshit, and since I sit less than 4 feet away from my Xbox the wire makes no difference.
2. By purchasing a wired controller I have given monetary support to the Global Wire Conspiracy so that it can continue to drive juices insane.

Honestly, I doubt the promotion will still be going by the time you can unlock that...but if it is... lol
Haha I would wait at least until October 1st for the formal announcement.
So bought.
And as other have said, LE's value has gone down again. But I still think the blu-ray is a good idea.

It's the charge kit. I get that same buzz whenever I have to use it. If memory serves me, you'll still get the buzz when you use the charge kit without any battery pack in the controller.
Yeah, it happens on my X11s. It's just line noise from the power coming in, you'll have to get a wired controller if you want to fix that particular problem.
I've had such bad experiences with the Play and Charge line of products lately that I'm not sure I'd even want to go back next time around anyway.

It was so good that cert didn't know what to do with it.
That's weird, I've had mine for 1.5 years without t hat issue.
What the fuck?
My hands sweat like crazy when gaming and my transformer controller is in mint condition...
You sure nothing else is getting on it?
Was that a proper MS controller? 0_o

You clearly don't sweat acid.
Go with simple rechargeable AA batteries. They're more versatile, can be used in a variety of devices, and they last a long time. Get eneloops.
The only downside is if you're controller loses charge mid game you can't quickly plug the play and charge cord to get back into the action. It takes about 30 seconds longer to physically swap the AA batteries, but in the long run you're better off, have great batteries for remotes, etc., and you're not locked into a proprietary cable charger that will be obsolete with the next xbox.

I notice that I wear the nubs on the thumbsticks off the controllers in around 2 months of play. Never had a problem with the controller wearing out other than that.
