Support NeoGAF

[Madness]

Post impressions folks... If it's great, I might as well buy it, otherwise I'm waiting for the XBLA release.

 

[soulassssns]

Looks good and looks fun. Definitely downloading this later on today when it is released.

 

[Dramos]

Hopefully, 360 controller support will arrive soon!

 

[MightyKAC]

Hmm might pick this up for my Windows 8 tablet when gamepad gets supported.

Will be the first Halo game I've bought in like a decade.

yupp.

Remember when the whole idea of Xbox Live on Win 8 and Win Phone 8 was going to be syncing with games on Xbox. Remember that microsoft?

Bullshit.

 

[Xbudz]

I've got a two year old Acer Iconia Tab W500 running Windows 8.1
I doubt this will play on it- but if it does, I'll post about it here.

Controller support not shipping with the game on release day is the whole point. They want you to play with the touch controls first. Just like the game releasing only on Win8 is purposeful. You may not like it, but that is their plan.

Holding back controller support for the only version that's getting it and doesn't really support touch controls doesn't make sense in terms of pushing touch controls.

Yea but Microsoft bro. Duh!

Do you think a large volume of Surface or Win8 tablet owners are the type who are hardcore enough to have controllers kicking around? They were going to play with touch regardless. The .05% of actual enthusiast gamers who own those devices get to try it the way everyone else is going to first. I can only assume it is a example of gaming on the go without the need for a peripheral.

Bah, its their new company philosophy these days: Force people into using their product the only way they want it to be used. Its been working wonderfully for them so far.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Still no sign of it on the UK store. Guess that confirms US exclusivity for now.

Sucks.

Sucks.

It's not 4pm Pacific yet. Check in about 10 minutes, and after that if it's still not there, then yeah that sucks.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Shadders]

Is it available for anyone yet?

 

[Tashi]

Nope :/

Not there for me yet

 

[Shadders]

@Windows trolling us all with a link to the Trinidad and Tobago Win8 store.

[RebornYeti]

Sweet, will buy tonight (if available).

 

[Xbudz]

If Microsoft wants to fly me to Trinidad, I'll gladly buy Halo Spartan Assault the moment I get off the plane.

45 toboggans? Damn!

 

[zorbsie]

Downloading on my phone now. Can't wait. 691MB. I'll also get this for the surface. Did they say if story progression is shared between the two platforms?
Doesn't seem like the exclusivity affects Canadians.

 

[HiredN00bs]

I kind of feel like a douche for complaining that a game release is half an hour late, but I mean, don't specify the game will be available at a specific time if you can't deliver. That shit is annoying, especially for people who are excited for it.

 

[zedge]

Downloading on my 920 now!

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Nothing on the UK store for WP8.

You suck MS.

 

[cool_dude_2049]

It is up on my 928. 691mb. No trial option.

 

[Spasm]

WP en-us link:

Does this work for anyone? Says my Verizon 928 isn't compatible.

Nice, downloading now.

My Verizon 928 gave me no issues. Restart phone maybe

This link still isn't working for me, but I found in on my phone's store by searching for Halo. DLing!

 

[Blueblur1]

So does this mean the Covenant will look like the Covenant again?

 

[Xbudz]

Lucky Phone people, the WIndows 8 / Tablet version is still not up- Microsoft has some fixing to do.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Try this.

Thanks. Will give it a try and hope for the best.

 

[hwalker84]

When the hell is this getting put up in the Windows store? Any tricks to bypass Verizons exclusivity?

 

[jediyoshi]

Shows up in the win8 game section

Dead redirect to the store still

 

[show me your skeleton]

why on earth isn't this available in the uk? exclusivity sucks.

Same here. They need to flip switches faster.

They hate us bro. they hate us.


Boooooo, MS. BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Xbudz]

Damn! $40 for 10,000 Halo Credits.
I'm able to purchase whatever that is, but not the actual game yet.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

I clicked that link and it said it's not available on my phone;I knew that it wasn't as I have ATT but it still hurt reading it.

 

[epmode]

Damn! $40 for 10,000 Halo Credits.

Modern gaming can be so awful.

 

[Demon Ice]

Clearly graphics of that magnitude require Windows 8 on PC.

 

[Tashi]

So far so good. Battery is running low on my phone so I'm gonna have to keep playing later

 

[Xbudz]

Yup!

Spartan Assault?
More like Spartan INSULT.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

45$ CND! Why is it that i expected this to be 20$ at most! Ill pass.

 

[Xbudz]

PS1 / N64 port incoming!

 

[Xbudz]

45$ CND! Why is it that i expected this to be 20$ at most! Ill pass.

It's supposed to be $7. Where are you seeing that price?

 

[zedge]

45$ CND! Why is it that i expected this to be 20$ at most! Ill pass.

Its $6.99

 

[Satchel]

I'm probably switching back to iOS so I'll grab this on Windows 8 for my boot camp partition on Mac Pro.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I just bought it so I can have something to play on the toilet.
