I bought ODST last night. I got The Rookie starting section done. Was pleasantly surprised how difficult it was right out the gate on legendary...ammo really means something, and health pack usage makes you play much smarter.
I think it was the first Halo game where I actually killed a Grunt using a plasma pistol.
Looking forward to doing more tonight after work and class!

Render-to-Waypoint-for-free feature it is.

I see. Thanks!Zyos, at least, was pretty successful (at least on his own) for a couple of years into Halo 2. Darkman played on the Dream Team (membership actually varied, but included Shizznizz, StrangePurple, Zyos, I think even TSquared at one point) and won a couple of championships with 'em. I sort of remember his star fading after Walshy crushed him 1v1 on a national stage.
My Galaxy S3 approves this.
You met Fincher? I am so ghelly right now.
I don't think that's so outlandish. The cost in Reach was the fact that you needed to send the data and then render it server side. If they're adding it for launch then you could do the render client side and just upload the video.
If it's uploaded to YouTube as opposed to Waypoint then they wouldn't even have to worry about the hosting cost of all those videos.

If you end up in a rush, the Tyrant legendary guides over at halo.bungie.org are amazing.
This... this is just wonderful. Can't wait for the game and the updates to apps, site, etc.

The decision not to include the BR is a great one. Carbines are like finding gold on Legendary.

Hah, more like Fincher met Stinkles. The real kicker is...Stinkles is Fincher. Also, he's Einhorn too.

Hypertrooper destroying german game show moderators and a interview with Frankie: GameOne: Halo 4 press event recap
Only the interview with Frankie @ 12:39 is in english, everything else is in german, but the interview is quite long (10 minutes).
And yeah, there are some spoilers, for those who are curious.

haha, I wish it were that cool.
The ONLY real problem I have with ODST, especially on Legendary, is the incessant beeping and red screen when your health is low. Health packs are hard to come by, and if you use headphones to play like I do, it may drive you a little crazy. Such a great game, though.I bought ODST last night.

End up getting a Ghost on the streets in ODST on Legendary after hours of sneaking around = bliss.

Is there going to be a Halo Panel or get-together at NYCC? I'm running a booth there during the days, but the nights are all free.
no, I am confirming major web update and console waypoint update and clarifying that the outage today was maintenance in support of that. At least during launch there will be no stats API.Wait, are you confirming a stats API?

The Game is excellent. All the trademark Fincher stuff is there, the awesome shots, lighting and pacing.

Anyone interested in a Halo 4 warrior avatar armor thing?
Why do you ask?

Leaks? Could Spain dudes with Halo 4 copies download dlc now or until the game is officially released? Hmm.

I still have a code (male and female) from First look event so I was looking for someone who may want it

I've said it a million times, my adaption level is maxed out. I'm like water. I conform to my surroundings, blend in seemlessly.
I will get an overkill, it will be filmed, I will post it here.

I'm actually pretty pumped for Halo 4 as it stands now. Even with all the jaded cynicism I have going into it, the improvements over Reach (and the FOV bump and better controls over 3) make it something to look forward to. No more fat Spartans, no more grain, no more desaturated environments, hitscan BR's back, and it looks like it'll properly support being stripped down to allow vanilla gametypes without having to clumsily hack in things like having OS indicators.
Yeah, I wanna get balls deep into this.

What the fuck. This looks just as bad as Reach.
At this point, I'd prefer it if they scrapped "forge canvas" maps and only gave us the forge we had in Halo 3 pre-Foundry/Sandbox, and spent the time on making three original, beautiful maps instead of 3 forge canvas maps that all look like shit. Fucking hell.

So this wasn't really answered, and if it was, I missed it.
We are getting 3 forge spaces right? Those are in addition to the announced maps, so are we getting 3 more playable spaces at launch for matchmaking or do we have to wait for forge maps to be "approved?"

No forge maps in matchmaking at launch. This is in one of the bulletins.
You say that like it's an achievement.
So no news on the Android app? Although considering it's just a web portal to Waypoint having an upgraded site might eliminate/solve those issues as well...
I think Frankles said something along the lines that Forge maps would be given their own space and the standard gametype hoppers would be Forge free (at least for awhile).

Yeah, I don't have time to read those/catch up on them at the moment, so I appreciate it.
Also, that sucks ass. 3 extra play spaces being wasted/taking up space until we get maps made. Yeah, I know it's a petty gripe, but I was hoping for something off the get go from those maps.
I may end up in a rush yes. I only got 40 minutes last night(most nights) to play. That's on weekdays only as weekends I get no play time. I want to complete the game so I can unlock the ODST helmet and body suit for my 360 avatar.
Do I need the guide you think to make sure I accomplish that?

Okay, I'll ask a question since both of you want it. First one to answer wins.
Where was first look event held and which 343 employee appeared in a video there?

"I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you."
Which is weird, considering that there's the map in the forge video (Impact?) that's supposedly ready for matchmaking.
I've been thinking recently after something Dani said. I give Reach a lot of shit and call it a terrible game etc, but regardless of it being my least favorite Halo it's a damn good game in comparison to a lot of other console FPSs. Sure there could've been a lot of changes made (ZEALOT SPAWNS) but, I mean, I played it consistently for years. I won't be sad to see it go but it was (mostly) fun while we had it.

All you need to remember for getting the ODST avatar award is this: Don't kill any of the Engineers, which are the floating things that give shields to the Covenant.
Totally, the one thing that stands out to me about Halo Reach is that it feels like an average console FPS, but I just don't settle for that on consoles. I set my bar pretty high with what I expect out of Halo caliber experiences.

No. Hell no.
Not if it's ugly like Hemorrhage, Ascension remake, Sandbox, Foundry, the 4-way symmetrical default layout of the new moonbase canvas or ANY OTHER FUCKING FORGE MAP EVER.
Fuck forge. It's the cancer that is killing Halo.
Don't kill any flying things giving shields---got it. Hope I don't bop one on accident. Were I to kill one, do I just have to replay that entire level from scratch, or an entire campaign?

I think you'll have to do the entire campaign in that case, because it counts for the Rookie segments that you play, which is the hub area.
