Halo |OT9| One Final Effort Is All That Remains

It was a little brief history of Halo book that came with the press edition of Halo Reach.

The artwork looks great

I hope that ends up viewable one day.

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.


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

Yeah, each of the specializations have a few of their own armour unlocks.

Thanks.

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.


Do you have a link?

I'm still guessing it's not going to have as many of those segments in the final product, though. I dunno why they feel like they have to include them for the press in the first place.
 
Um, Gamestop has a vote for pre-order bonuses up???

Either a green armor for your avatar, or an arctic BR ingame? Why would they even do this?

Powerup members get 3 exclusive emblems? WAT?

Oh, well at least we now know how Americans can get the skin.. Still, all this exclusive stuff is BS. Not as BS as the LE Wargames Map Pass, but still pretty much pure BS.

Are the weapon skins that we've seen the only ones?

Yeah, I believe so since they are classified as separate weapons it seems.

I still think that's silly to make them individual weapons. What if they decide to release skins as DLC? That'll just make the list unnecessarily large..

That being said, am I the only one who doesn't really like any of the skins (aside from the arctic BR/AR)? Definitely going with the originals.

Fuck. The. Jetpack.

Just lost by 3 on Reflection, ENTIRE enemy team was using jetpacks. Man those things really do break the flow of ANY map.

You staying over Saturday night or are you leaving Saturday night?

Haven't decided. I can either stay and leave in the morning. Take the train back to my house in CT whenever, or take a bus back to Boston saturday night.

Depends if anything is happening Saturday evening.

Wait, so when the pre-order bonuses for each retailer were revealed, GameStop said they would have the Artic skin for the BR. Now they're putting it up to a vote so there's a chance they won't give that skin? That's the only reason I pre-ordered it at GameStop!

Gamestop in the United States never had it as part of the pre-order, only international sites like EB Canada, Australia, et cetera.

You can vote for it daily, with multiple e-mail addresses.

Anything happening? As far as what? I'd like to record some HaloGAF Radio and go out for some drinks with who ever will join me.

I wouldn't worry. The poll isn't really even close, it's definitely going to be the weapon skin over the avatar junk

I'm still confused. So is there any way I can get both the Recruit armor and the other two helmets (Scanner and the whatever) on launch day without buying an LE copy and the Map Pass off XBL?

Tangent. I'm starting the bulk of the Halo 4 OT work in the next few weeks. And the part I'm dreading the most is rounding up all the pre-order stuff. I might just plain skip that part; there's just too damn much of it.
