this one?

Better quality image and I think the built-in black parts work better with that color

some of the pictures are really unflattering because of the white armor color, but I wanted consistency so I used em all from the same source

Yep looks better there, thanks. Yea, all the little sample pics seem to be very strangely colored. Just go blue, cant go wrong with blue.

Ugh, that sucks.. Worst case scenario maybe you could stay at a friends place for a little bit and help pay when you are looking? Still, what a sucky reason to be in that situation, something similar happened to a friend of mine recently, but he got lucky and found a place real quick..only thing is, the place he is at now is owned by a crazy guy, so hes looking again. Good luck though, Im sure something will work out, even if temporarily until something better happens.

Yeah, that's a likely scenario for me, hah. I'm emailing EVERYONE on Craigslist. I'm hoping to find some decent housemates, but I'll even tolerate the crazies right now as long as they don't steal my stuff.

Wait so there is armor that is tied to specialization unlocks?

Yup, each specialization has ten ranks, and at the tenth level of each specialization you unlock a helmet (or a full armor set?).

You unlock a full armor set across the 10 ranks.

Why do people hate Cortana moments so much? It gives you the best of both worlds, you get the cinematic effect, but still control it somewhat. Better than a cutscene or just flat out bad game mechanic.

Pages late on this, but the Cortana stuff & a QTE are so different...

We don't even know exactly how that portion is controlled, some of you might actually like it! Hard to grasp I know.

I feel I need to elaborate on this, since I've trashed rail segments in the past. I hate QTE/Rail sections when it is still based around the core gameplay (shooting, but doing it in a chopper!), but for stuff like climbing an elevator shaft (something that has nothing to do with the base gameplay), I think they work wonderfully.

Yeah, crazy can be fine at times, just don't go to someone too crazy.

I'm mostly agreed. If it doesn't take me out of the gameplay and isn't an X to not die moment, I'm usually fine with them in moderation. The Cortana moments themselves weren't bad, but the addition of the Gravemind moments pushed things too far I think (lasting twice as long, messing with your focal length, etc.)

Disc 2 answered yet? Probably not.

The way they are actively dodging it means it is either epic, or absolutely nothing.

My guess is that it will be an audio and video calibrator like Halo 3 had. That and a video of Frankie showing slides of various family vacations and reunions to all his 343 co-workers.

I just realized that Halo 4 won't have any brand new Covenant weapons other than the Storm Rifle* ;[

*If you even count that as new..

It does? I made a custom control scheme based off of Halo 4's Bumper Jumper, with a few modifications to make it more Borderlands friendly.


I know, me too! But I have to do big kid stuff today. I have five days to find a place to live, cause the landlord of the house I was going to move into decided to flake out on me. Fucking awesome!

that two button swap thing makes it so..... whoever came up with it at gearbox should get a raise.

Yup, Storm Rifle is basically the Plasma Repeater, so thats not really new... Ah well. I wont lie, I was hoping for a least one or two new Covenant weapons.

Playing nothing but TU slayer, Reach feels somewhat better.


Question: Do i need ALL dlc to be able to play ANY dlc?
I haven't seen Noble or Defiant pop up in a long while. Don't have Anniversary maps, so what's the deal? If I don't fork over yet another so many MS points, i can't play more than launch maps?

Of course they are different, but they both are awful when replaying. It's the same action every time you play it. You know Cortana is going to scream at you when you turn this corner or you know you are going to press left stick every time you reach that corner. IMO, QTE/on-rails/Cortana moments all detract from the sandbox gameplay that Halo features.
