Halo |OT9| One Final Effort Is All That Remains
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
I'd imagine it's because they're making cards that are going into the limited edition without the bonus helmets etc, saves them making 2 sets of codes/cards if you can only buy it from the marketplace outwith the LE.

I'm almost there with you. Halo 4 looks amazing, and it looks a hell of a lot better than Reach, but there's some apparent flaws that I'll probably continue to complain about well after launch. I mean, I still hear people complain about bloom on a regular basis. I don't know if Halo 4 will have anything as bad as Reach bloom, but I'm sure there's something that will make me rage post a year from now.

I'll stay negative to neutral about the game until I play it next week but I can't believe some of the stuff added to the game will be enjoyable for me. The weapon spawning system for example.

Hopefully we can create an in-game clan called that.
Have clans been confirmed or denied yet? Can't recall hearing anything on it.

How much ammo is in the Boltshot? Because the range for its alt fire is way too far since it is a one shot kill.
Ya'll not on my level. I still love Reach while being fully cognizant of all its annoying traits. If I had to play only one game until the release of Halo 4, it would be Reach.
That being said, I'm not quite sure how I feel about H4. It's Halo, it looks great, but I never had doubt like this going into a Halo release. It's not even over AAs and bloom. The game just feels...off.

Thanks babe, so hyped for dominion.
I have noticed it's gotten harder to buy the map pack codes from Gamestop.
when they first came out: "3 noble codes plz" "that'll be 30$" "k"
bit later on: "3 defiant codes plz" "here's one, 10$" "uh, sure"
nowadays: "can I have a defiant map pack and noble map pack code?" "dunno what you're talking about lol"
go online to buy it: order stays in purgatory then gamestop cancels it 12 hours later
It's why I stopped giving them out

They're not QTEs! They're interactive cinematic vinaigrettes!

looks like deathcams are still in (after you cancel the kill cam)

If you count forge environments as maps, 13.
You can only polish a pile of trash (relatively speaking) so much.

Well it wasnt very fun, so probably not.
I am upset Reach was essentially a mainline Halo title from the point of view the series will probably never shed the crap it brought on board though.

ok I can see it becoming annoying, but I am fine with that. The boltshot will put fear in people who like to chase people down.

I know we can't pick up grenades off dead bodies, but does that mean there are no grenades placed on the map to be picked up?

That's supposed to be the role of the shotgun/smart grenade play.

Nope. But at least it wouldnt be grey
That's my double kill! Love that Sticky Detonator.
I knew he wouldn't be able to answer a few, but given that opportunity you have to ask those questions.
It was a whirlwind few days, met a load of awesome people and now have a rotten case of PAX Pox (sounds better than EGEXPO Pox). I'm surprised at the amount of videos popping up, I kept getting asked not to film. One guy even came and stood in front of my camera so I couldn't film. :/

lol perfect response.
I feel like that's pretty much what those of us that have played the game have tried to convey. Yes, the game is different than any other Halo game, and some aspects are a large departure from what we know as "Halo", but the game is just damn fun. The core mechanics are good, and there is a good balance between the different aspects/elements in the game.

Yep, this so much.
I've heard them being compared to killstreaks and that's so far from the truth. Most killstreaks from COD are passive sequences where the AI takes over for you, but ordnance drops require actual player involvement and skill.

I'm fairly convinced
that clans are in and the emblem next to your team's score is a clan emblem.

Yeah my bad Barlow, mongo didn't have the maps and we haven't played together for a while but seemed like you had a full party so :]
Interesting that in this video at ~7:00 mins (and 8:20 w/ nade) you can see the Regeneration Field never stops trying to regenerate your shield, so nice try if you miss a bullet and they're also using Shielding ;]
-plant a regen field around the corner-
-get shot, run back into field to quickly start regenerating-
-enter back into fight with full shields-
^Same goes for your teammates who are using other AA's.. lol oh boy and the guy in this vid says it's slower than Reach when he also clearly didn't notice he had an Ordnance Drop to use..
