It looks like you can't buy the kindle version yet, because Glasslands is going to be released officially at the end of November. Sorry. :/aj1467 said:

I've read the same arguments from Star Wars fans for a long time. Sets a bad precedent.
Nothing wrong with fans internalising it as part of their personal canon though.

Yup, my order was pushed back last week and now it has moved up.ElzarTheBam said:
The paperback is still 25/11.

Which version? Hardcover or paperback? I suspected already in OT6, that the hardcover is imported by amazon eu maybe. Karen Traviss had replied to a tweet by Zeouterlimits, where she said that Glassland will be released on November 21 in the UK.ElzarTheBam said:
Woah. WTF? My order hasn't moved up. :/Zeouterlimits said:

Wow. I feel for you. It being 9.99 is the biggest reason I decided to pick it up even though I'm not a fan of her style. Liking the Halsey and SIII stuff so far.

Yeah, my order is now estimated to arrive on 31/10, rather than the 10/11.Hypertrooper said:
Passing on CEA until i'm bored with gaming.
Played CE hundreds of times, feel like i've already done most achievables at least 10 times each [aside from skulls and terminals]
Also, changes to the cutscenes are bugging me. Cortana/3rd person ARs are ripped straight from halo 3, lol. MC freaking out in the hallway right before finding Jenkins... idk. I always found it 'cool' that MC kept his 'cool' when facing crazy ass struggles. The way they portray him almost pissing his pants makes him seem like less of a badass, as if he's not ready to take on whatever is lurking around the corner.
Ah well. I'll always love halo and i will eventually pick up the game.

It's true. Before he calmly turned around pointing the weapon. Now he does this kind of startled motion before turning around.

I didn't think they changed any of this?
About that shotgun bug:
Footage seems to be from yesterday (don't click if you don't want the previously unseen levels spoiled):

lol. Dude. You know he did the same in Halo: CE? He don't piss himself back there, he tries to find where the sound came from with the head movement. Really don't know, where you get that impression.dmg04 said:When he first walks up to the door, the 'creepy' flood noise comes up

Sure, that footage was released yesterday, but it certainly wasn't captured yesterday.Donat said:
That said, I'm guessing it wasn't caught in time to be fixed for release, or at least was a result of running the CE engine in true widescreen and wasn't fixable in a reasonable timeframe. Considering the lack of theater mode in CEA I don't think many people will even notice.
*cue PsychoRaven bugging David about it again*
(If he had an answer he could give us, I'm sure he would. It's one thing to post a friendly reminder about a question, but another to keep nagging for an answer.)

You know I could be an asshole too but I won't. I'll just say one last thing since it bothers you so fucking much.
So it's nagging now to simply re ask the question every so often when you notice him around? Well that's good to know. It's also good to know that when someone says they'll look into it, they really won't and that people will defend that instead of holding them to their word.

Especially it is a b-roll with gameplay footages of the lastest BTS Video.ncsuDuncan said:
Yeah, cause that's what he meant - that the 343 Defense Force will make sure that nobody pushes about stuff that seems broken.PsychoRaven said:
(Sarcasm really doesn't help here. I think what Duncan was getting at was that the question's been asked, 343 KNOWS we want an answer, and if they had one, we'd hear about it. If it's really a dealbreaker for you, just don't buy the game Day 1 - wait until someone has a copy. If it's still an issue in the final product, and you can't live with that - don't buy it. The game's finished now; whether the bug is fixed now or not is not going to change between now and November 15.)

I've only asked 3 times over a couple of weeks. Now I know it's been asked by others too and discussed. I never said I wouldn't buy it over it. In fact I said if it's there ok no big deal. However it would be nice to know if it is or isn't. In fact I had no intention of bringing it up again till I was attacked for asking a couple of times.
To hear the way he put it you'd think I was asking every hour on the hour instead of the 3 times I've asked. Sure a couple of us have talked bout it a few times but I've only asked David 3 times and only when he's been around. So for that I get attacked and told that it's nagging to ask a question a couple times. That's why I'm pissed off at the moment and why even though I said I wouldn't be an asshole my reply probably was an asshole reply. My anger gets the best of me sometimes. I won't deny that.

Going to read it today too. WOOT! Not sure but I'm trying to finish it till the end of the week.Dax01 said:I have the book! Class ended earlier than usual. Won't be able to read it until later though.

I think we should be grateful to have such an amazing relationship with 343i(and Bungie). They really don't have to answer our question etc.. And like you said, they know that some of us demand an answer to that bug. There is even important stuff going on in the studio, that a question has to wait. Otherwise I can't say how much I love the guys at 343i. <3.Louis Wu said:

We have larger concerns than some stupid shit like shotgun clipping or the way Keyes looks. They completely ruined the shield bar!
(surroundings censored to avoid spoilers of how the textures look)
They've taken their artistic licensing too far with what they've done to the shield bar and made it overstylized and completely bastardized the original style of it. Worst of all you can't even revert them back to the original when you go back to the old graphics. When I played Halo CE in 2001 one of the things I remember most was how cool that shield bar was, and now I'll never be able to enjoy CEA.

Don't forget about the weird new man-child that is Keyes, with no apparent sobriquet on his breast. I'll buy the game, but now I'll only play the old skool version. ;-)Ramirez said:

I'm gonna head over to Powell's Motherfucking City of Books and pick up a copy of Glasslands after class. Looking forward to rampant hints + speculation times with you all. Is there an OT for it?

Sorry, Psycho. Wasn't really trying to attack you. Wu said what I wanted to get across in clearer terms: "343 KNOWS we want an answer, and if they had one, we'd hear about it."
I just found one or two of your posts to be a little nagging. To be fair, you weren't the only one asking about the shotgun.
Let's just go back to bugging David for a new Sparkast. Hypertrooper can help.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
