I was thinking about it, but Best Buy had a preorder deal during E3 to save $10 so I'm getting the standard edition fpr $50 instead. Maybe if they had included FUD on Blu-ray.


Yeah, it was awesome. I hardly ever saw anyone else with the Savage Grenadier skin, but it's moot now because they released all the preorder skins in the latest DLC, albeit slightly altered.


You mean Unicorn helmet. Clearly based on the Unicorn Gundam.

Bad-ass is what it is. I think it should be unlockable at some point. Make it the Halo 4 equivalent of the Haunted helmet or something, max rank plus all Specializations maxed.

Looks more like Mordekaiser's helmet from LoL TBH.

All armor should eventually be unlocked. Recon being unlocked for everyone is exactly what I want to happen to Johnson/Grunt Funeral/Reach's Limited and Legendary armors/effects down the road.

When the commercial reasons have long since passed, it doesn't make sense to continue holding those back. Reward the people still paying 10$ a month to play your out-of-cycle game with a little bit of extra content to play with.

Which HaloGAF shirt? The new one? the one Poison made with the Eagle and shit? I don't think that particular one is on the GAF store atm.

The one Duncan got. I kept meaning to order it earlier, but I forgot. I'd go through the GAF store if it was there.

Nope, just RedBubble.

Well, yeah. But he said he'd submitted it to Evilore. I was just asking if it got accepted or not. Jerk. :p

Verizon's Actiontec FIOS routers have always produced a moderate NAT eventually when using DMZ, in my experience. If you can, replace it with something that can run dd-wrt, otherwise just stick to UPnP.

And then the people who already had the content will get angry and write online petitions and sue 343 for how unfairly they are being treated.

Those people can STFU. They'll probably be playing the newest Halo anyway :lol

They've already done it with the "Day At the Beach" and the Halo 2 LE DVD making-of. (thanks to people at MS/343 that approved that, by the way). I'm not saying only like 2 years after the game comes out, but after a certain amount of time the community benefits more from having the content available to everyone openly.

Hopefully they'll eventually approve the Halo 3 Legendary content videos for openly public consumption. I'd say the 4 1/2 year period for Day At The Beach's release feels about right. Recon was unlocked for everyone in Halo 3 at about the same time-frame.


edit: And for the record, I got the Gamestop armor and bought Reach's Legendary edition.

In networking, if it's working, don't mess with it.

Agreed. There's no point to withholding the content indefinitely.

Also, a few friends and I are headed to PAX again this year. Any Seattle-ites have any suggestions for places to eat that aren't Subway or Starbucks 12 times a day?

Didnt even know I could replace Verizons router thought I needed it to get internet access, er I thought it was my modem/router. Anything that would get me better performance?

Weird, I just checked port forwarding/NAT on my FiOS router a couple days ago and everything was set correctly upon installation.

You can use your own equipment if you're using ethernet from the ONT (white box likely setup in garage or outside), but you would need to call customer service for them to do a couple things on their end.

You can also bypass the router, effectively reducing it to a MoCA bridge. This was a setup I ran for years, but I also didn't have any STBs at the time. Should still be workable.

Oh, and < 11 weeks, bros.

So I've been talking with the Enforcer that's going to be running Halo freeplay at PAX, I suggested that if there's enough spare TVs in the room where it'll be held, that there should be an ODST Firefight co-op pod.

He likes this idea. ODST FF on LAN sounds like it'd be freaking amazing.

edit: he's still can't lock down the exact time, but it seems so far it might happen Saturday morning.

Actually Recon with the third attachment is still exclusive.
