Y'know, I'm sick and tired of street dates. So many people are getting and playing games early, there's no purpose to them other than making everyone wait to play something that's readily available.

People already have had their copies of MCC. I go on PS Live last night and a bunch of people are already playing the new AC (which looks quite nice btw). Seriously, I'm sick of being forced to wait for no reason. I'm fine with a street date so people know that's when to expect it, but when the store gets the damn thing in, let them sell it!

Edit: Or at least reward preorderers by letting them have their copy.

I don't know why you're defending this. The PC version had a safezone setting already. But they've disabled it.

Hell, most AAA titles allow you to manually adjust safezones according to your particular set. This isn't unheard of.

Still, overscan is horrible, you will lose resolution and with lcd screens there is no reason for overscan to exist whatsoever. I'm always baffled if a game wants me to adjust the "safe zone". Which TV do you have? I can't believe that you can't make the image fit your screen.

Is it possible to install the physical disc (to avoid downloading ~48gigs), install the patches and then buy it digitally without having to download anything?

I did that exact thing this weekend with NBA 2k15.. realized I wanted a digital version rather than put the disc in on the time.. bought it digital.. no install needed it just fires up now.

So what alternative would you suggest? No matter the date of release people will get it early.

While I appreciate the man hours that went into making the OP, it is far too noisy and the headlines are repeated far too much. Sorry, I feel simpler would have been far better. I would not even know where to look for specific information amidst all that.

I also do not get the title reference

Spartans were never marked as KIA but only MIA.

This helped keep up morale with the troops that Spartans could not be killed. Spartans were basically their super heroes that came in and could turn the tide of a battle into their favor even with overwhelming odds. Last thing they wanted is to take away their hope I that war.

The books are awesome, really helps to better understand some of the scenes in the games.

So my copy got delivered earlier today (UK)!

Why didn't they let you choose the install order of the individual campaigns? Or more to the point why does 4 install first then 1,2,3, MP. I don't want to play 4, I want to start from the beginning!

Started my pre-order download last night. It was at 51% when I left for work this morning. I seriously cannot wait to play. Luckily, I have the next four days off after today :)

The way the marketplace has been with downloading games you will still be 51% by the time you get home lol!

I'll be adding gaffers later, Broken Beans.

So let's say I want to play Boarding Action team slayer tonight/tomorrow. Is there no way to play that with random matchmaking at the moment? Only private matches correct?

I cannot believe this day is finally here. I'm just ready to play already! I feel like I'm in HS again waiting to come home so I can play Halo 3 for the first time.

Having this website: http://halome.nu/index.htm on full blast while I wait is not helping either!
 
So... If I bought the US version off the store and already have the whole thing preloaded, and I decided to drop $110 or whatever it is on the AUS version, would I have to redownload the entire thing, or would it let me use what I've already downloaded?

As bad as I want this, I'm afraid it is going to have to wait a bit. I just have too many other games on my plate and still have Unity, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition and GTA V to go. It is still a definite pick up down the road, though.

Can someone who owbs the game tell me if the moon emblem is back? That's what I used since Halo 2 and can't believe they took it out of 4.

haha holy fuck!!

<<Have you ever left a Halo title running on your TV, just to listen to and watch the main menu? Now you can relive...>>

here you go fellas: http://halome.nu/h3.htm
 
I'm not sure where to even begin when I load the game up for the first time...

Yep, some mates are doing CE-4 campaigns in order. I chose Halo Channel, looked for Nightfall Ep1 (no luck yet) and decided a quick spin through normal H2A before some MM then back to legendary solo H2.

I don't know if anybody here has encountered this problem. I downloaded the MCC before the 15gb update became available. Now that the 15gb is available it says its "updating", but for some reason it is downloading the whole game again. Is there a way to get the console to reconcile the data? as I don't have enough data to download 60gb. Is there any solution?
