Halogaf assemble! Is there a place I can still get the limited edition?!
I had no idea what part of the country I would be in because I travel for work so I couldn't really preorder early...

Some things to note in the Forge vid:
The crater they're forging in at 1:23
The distant "Forge canvas" on the asteroid in the background. The canvas they're showcasing through most of the video has the stadium lights surrounding it. You can see this in the distance at 2:40. You can see another one on the left at 2:58. (Also shown many other times)
Dominion has it's own category in the "Place Object"/Special Tools list that is separate from the "Objectives" list at 3:04 (Also shown many other times)
Object color is still changeable at 5:29 (hope it's more significant rather than outlines/highlights)
As Over mentioned, custom map pics at 7:54
"Option to disable weapons, add infinite energy to weapons" at 8:49

"Shields" was also a category, I think underneath dominion's category. I have a feeling these are the dominion shield doors we saw.

Do you think Forward Unto Dawn will be released separately? I'd like to purchase it if I can't buy the LE...
This is why I really wanted the Farcry terrain stuff so we can actually make accurate maps.
I will be back to re-re-making Quake and Goldeneye Maps in Halo 4.

Wow, is the limited edition really sold out in places? that's cool I guess.
Indie games flame out so fast. Better luck finding a real lobby next time...
It's been sold out at Amazon and Gamestop for a long time now. I'm sure there will be some on shelves at Target/Walmart/Etc.
I heard it was coming out on blu-ray, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah, it's confirmed (I think?) to be coming out on DVD and Blu Ray at some point.
I was talking about a boner. I just got a boner as well. I assume that's what Dax was talking about.

I see a Halo.
Regarding that ^^^
The first big one came out years ago. Machinima community went apeshit until they realized nothing changed. Just means that you can't make money off of stuff made with the Halo IP. Most people remained unaffected. If you were big enough/good enough to make money using machinima than you could probably get the rights.

Is that the LE?Looks like I'll miss out on midnight launch festivities, but I couldn't pass this up. Feels good man.
Got it through Tsilon promo codes. Them DLC maps are gonna have to be pretty fukken god to match up to the price of the game.

I wish they did, it's the only particular set of skills that could get me hired at 343!
We saw a vid where they had a pause screen up and the background looked to be a flat, sandy area. Could've been SpOps but it was flat flat. NO clue which vid though.. It's been a while.

AN ARTIST NEEDS YOUR HELP!
If you've ever read A Fistful of Arrows, you know Levi Hoffmeier is a pretty talented dude. He's currently building a videogame (playable demo here), and has entered a contest to win some grant money from the state of Utah. The top 5 vote-getters will get $5,000 each (much of which will be spent on the Unity license they need to finish the game).
It's the last few hours of voting.
They're currently in 6th place (by a bit over 30 votes) - if you've got a functional email address (or addresses)... Visit the voting page, hit the 'Vote for this Campaign' button, put in your email address, and then follow the link they mail you.
VOTING ENDS AT MIDNIGHT EST (5 hours from now). LEVI NEEDS YOU.
(Yeah, this is offtopic. He's a serious Halo fan, though, and this game will make you happy if it gets funded. )

Try the Walmart website or the Bestbuy website... if you need to try the Canadian versions (bestbuy.ca walmart.ca amazon.ca futureshop.ca thesource.ca) because I'm like 99% sure they ship to the states as well

I just scored the Haven theme for free from there. I can also get $20 off Halo 4 but I've already pre-ordered and made plans for midnight launch. I'm also getting AC3 completely free from them

Fistful of Arrows was really really great, that great I wished it would be canon
So, Forge still looks awful. And it looks like the majority if Forge parts are shared between maps, since most of what we saw on impact shares the same human style of the pieces from the Ravine, unless that's changed since RTX (and judging by some of the short Ravine clips in the new video, it hasn't). Which means everything just looks boring and white. I reeeeeeally hope that cave area wasn't the third Forge environment, and that there's still a chance we'll see at least one Covenant themed map in the game, Forged or not. I mean, ideally, I won't have to play any forged maps at all, so it won't end up bothering me, but I know that in reality I'll probably have to play a ton over Halo 4's life, so it'd be nice if they at least looked different other that the skybox.
I'm still holding out hope for a bunch of unannounced features that'll show off some variety, but if Relay, as an on-disc shipping map, is representative of the options 343 and CA have built in, I'm prepared to be disappointed.
