Should I go physical or digital for this? Download bandwidth isn't an issue btw.

Physical. Gotta keep all those Halo games physical for that collection, bruh.

But that's just me.

Digital. So damn nice having it all set and ready for launch night.

 

[Seventy70]

I was just about to ask that. One review mentioned that Halo CE and Halo 2 Anniversary apparently drop down to 30fps in splitscreen, but only mentioned those 2. So no idea if Halo 3 and Halo 4 retain 60fps in splitscreen or not.

That's a shame, but I guess it was expected.

I ended up getting both lol, couldn't decide.

That's a shame, but I guess it was expected.

Reviewer reviewed it before day one patch

Sorry guys, I need to fix information.

It seems that the informer made a mistake. ;(

While that famous informer heard english voices on his H2A, but other users heard localized voices in their copies.

Yes. H2A's covenant enemy voices are all localized.

I apology for that mistaken information ;( All related replies are fixed right now.

See I agree with this as I do have Halo 1, 2, 3, 4, Wars, ODST and Reach physical copies.

BUT

Digital. So damn nice having it all set and ready for launch night.

I'm totally thinking this as well! Plus the added bonus of multiplayer at my finger tips without needing to swap discs.

 

[RPS37]

What should I play to prepare: Reach? ODST (maybe between 2 and 3?)? Or Sunset Overdrive?

Spartan Assault!

haha i'm from New Zealand. So i'm reading it right. #FirstInTheWorld

I hope there's going to be enough of us on for a decent MP session. I'll be there!

 

[catmario]

Where did you buy or pre-ordered this game? Gamestop? Amazon? EB Games? Xbox digital? or... where?

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Amazon emailed me on Saturday and told me my order has been dispatched, estimated delivery changed to today as well! Here's hoping.

 

[FatMarshall]

Where did you buy or pre-ordered this game? Gamestop? Amazon? EB Games? Xbox digital? or... where?

Gamestop for infinite ammo.

Call me a noob, but that shit is hard on Legendary.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Speaking of these, have you found any? I have been roaming around in Forge trying to find them

I've found two: Lockdown and Zenyth.

 

[killer rin]

If Bandwidth isn't an issue go Digital. That way you will be able to jump into Halo without ever needing to manage a disk.

 

[catmario]

Gamestop for infinite ammo.

Yep. I also a noob. I really want that infinite ammo. So I'm considering to buy another copies at GS or waiting until it unlocks to everyone.

Infinite ammo in HCEA was awesome.

 

[sinnergy]

Should I go physical or digital for this? Download bandwidth isn't an issue btw.

You haven't downloaded yet? Good luck donwloading 60+ Gig on launch day, I pray that they don't throttle download speeds for you.

The patch alone is 16 Gig.

Maybe you should get physical if you want to play on launch day.

 

[Kibbles]

So does it come out earlier digitally in New Zealand? Is there a way to change my country to download it or is that bannable/not able to happen? :3 I'm so impatient

 

[Clintizzle]

Should I go physical or digital for this? Download bandwidth isn't an issue btw.

I think the main argument for physical is that you'll be able to trade it in.
but who would want to trade this game.

Digital.

 

[RPS37]

Spartan Assault!

I might as well check that out since it's been sitting on my hard drive.

Yeah, goes live in 3.5 hours. And I don't know if region switching works sorry.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Please report for the people if the region switch unlock works brehs

 

[Xbudz]

What time is this up in North America?

 

[Raab]

I will feel bad for my wife this week.

Spoiler

Maybe?

 

[Twin Tails]

What time is this up in North America?

9pm PST / 12 am EST

 

[Xbudz]

9pm PST / 12 am EST

Thanks. I am pre-loaded and ready!

 

[catmario]

8 hours left...

I'll play COD:AW instead while I'm waiting for this.

 

[Surface of Me]

Only buying physical cause Target's B2G1, need SO and this, plus FH2.

 

[Booshka]

Good Halo is finally being released again.

 

[THRILLH0]

Please report for the people if the region switch unlock works brehs

It doesn't.

Unlocks are tied to the region in which you purchased the game.

 

[securitypigeon]

2 disks? Aw, I didn't know that.

What time does this unlock for UK digital?

 

[sneakypete]

Sorry if this has been asked/answered, but is the day one patch out yet?

I have 59.1 gb preloaded. Got meetings and work right up until midnight tmrw and it'd be awesome to come home ready to play.

 

[lifeexpectancy]

Gamestop for infinite ammo.

Call me a noob, but that shit is hard on Legendary.

Bandanna defeats the purpose of playing on Legendary though. If you can just stand back and spam grenades then what's the point? Might as well just lower the difficulty because it's not Legendary with Bandanna. I mean don't get me wrong it's fun for laughs, but it really does break the game. I have the feeling that Master Blaster skull (one player has recharging overshield and can only melee, the other has no shields and infinite ammo) is going to break LASO and make it really easy to do co-op.

But at any rate the Bandanna skull disables achievements so there's that, if you care about them anyway.

 

[Plasma]

My copy shipped on Saturday, hope it comes today so I can get it patched up tonight before the big rush tomorrow.

You already have the 15 GB patch.

 

[FatMarshall]

You're shitting me. How come it doesn't disable achievements for Halo: CEA then?

I won't bother if achievements are disabled.

I haven't bought it yet lol

 

[Revson]

Just started my download, hopefully it's ready in time for tomorrow night!

 

[leng jai]

So this game has 4000 cheevo points on offer right?

 

[Twin Tails]

4500, got 500g more

 

[Death Metalist]

I got the game yesterday and damn there is something in the menu that is so cool when you choose said halo game playlist, I won't spoil it though but damn Halo 3/4 look absolutely gorgeous and so damn smooth that it feels almost weird at first like everything is too fast. Haven't tried the other games nor delved into the collection deeply as I am still waiting since last night for the update to finish. It's 15GB with another 97MB update I was greeted upon booting the game today, it'll start downloading the update when you reach 80%. As per usual, I'll share off-screen pics to get this hype train in full effect, any questions or specific screenshot/video you want of a certain place I'll do that as well. Didn't try out CE nor Halo 2 anniversary because of me waiting for the updates to finish.

(you could also start a mission from 3 key checkpoints in all games. All levels opened from the get go)

 

[IHaveIce]

Excited brehs like it is said, I'm on the list and will be ready to play.

Add IHaveAnIce friends

 

[Krappadizzle]

I legitimately think Halo 4 is the best looking Xbox 360 game. Anyone else think of a better looking one?

 

[ArchedThunder]

I haven't seen this question answered (though I'm sure it has), what is the 11th mission in the selection for Halo 3? Halo 3 only had 10 (counting the opening cutscene).

Myself and a bud are both off tomorrow, can't wait to sig with supplies and play.

Is that just the post credits scene from the original game?

 

[Leyasu]

I went digital! I love having my games like apps on the dashboard. Plus I think that they will somehow intergrate halo 5 into one unified interface.

I also waited til saturday in the hope that what I downloaded would be the final download.

Get to see the halo 5 beta tomorrow when I wake up. Then play halo in the afternoon.

Its all good

 

[Death Metalist]

Spoiler

Yes.

 

[Random17]

Since a number of players will be new to the franchise, I think a spoiler rule should apply for all the Halo campaigns in this thread specifically (put it in the OT).

Also, game launches in 3 hours here.
