This game is good man, just add Invasion and you're done.

Can you disable the last stand function of Dominion? If so you could forge what is essentially Conquest Assault. Hell, even if you can't you can still do some nifty stuff:

Set initial spawns for the attacking team in a separate/well defended room (possibly an armory with some weapons). Spawn the defending team in/around several of the capture points. Add a teleporter that spawns after a timer to the attacker's room and set the timer to just over the amount of time it requires for the defending team to capture all of the bases.

Once the defending team captures all of the bases on one end of the map it'll teleport all of the attackers to the other end of the map with decent weapons to balance their lack of lives and stacked defenses. Attackers then work their way up the map to capture the points.

Not sure if it would work. I don't have my hands on the game yet (BUT SOON).

I like where you're going with this. Hopefully the customization exists to allow for that.

Next time i'll visit GAF will be after i've finished Halo 4 and SpOps EP1... I should be done under 24h (11h till i get to play the game). Wonder if i get to play any War Games tomorrow, or whether the campaign and SpOps takes the whole day.

Now, sleep.

Oh I went along aswell

Was not impressed - hog looked like it was made of foam - then a helicopter flew the didact symbol around - I mean as far as advertising goes showing off a symbol that no one knows like its the bat symbol is pretty stupid. Would have generated more buzz if they spend that fuel money on fireworks tbh

On the plus side I got to meet GUI who is a lot cooler than I expected. :p

I always thought you were black!

It was nice though. Will have some crappy pictures uploaded soon.
 
5 hours until I headout to the midnight release :D


The dashboard says 9 hours for even though I live on the east coast. I thought it would change depending on where you live, I guess not.

My countdown stopped at 3 am today, then it resets another 5 hours.
 
Doesnt seem to support IE8? Seriously?

oh god i got a weird bug where the sound effects won't stop being modulated even when i'm outside of a regen field. what the fuckkk this game sounds trippy now
 
New waypoint looks nice, but it runs even worse. Didn't think that was possible. God, fucking hyped... .

I agree, New waypoint looks amazing... Also there is a video watchlist icon...does this mean that we get video rendering to waypoint? If so thats awesome!

Edit: Apparently not, the watchlist is for regular waypoint videos :(

7.5 hours. Luckily I have last night's Walking Dead, Red vs. Blue season finale, and homework to keep me busy.

Stay away fro facebook, I had last nights episode and thus a huge "deal" of this season spoiled for me both last night vaguely, then in depth this morning.

Fucking assholes.

If you go to Halo 4 Intel > Forward Unto Dawn, you get a message that "You can only access this area if you purchased the Halo 4 Limited Edition." Guess thta means you don't need to be on the Xbob app to access the 90-minute version and extras and stuff. Stream quality will be pretty bad, but still.

Has there been any word if the Windows Pnone 7 Waypoint app will be updated? I'd prefer to use it that the stats webapp.

Ok I'm right now at the launch event in hamburg and it is great.

Free food and drinks, playing halo 4, watching the LE cut of Forward unto Dawn and watching prometheus for free.

And in half an hour I can get here Halo 4 in all different editions
 
IE9, nevermind IE10 isn't coming to XP crazily enough. Google and Mozilla are happy to bring new Chrome and Firefox to it though.
Oh shit, I forgot about that.

OS is 11 years old for christ sake, companies should upgrade their shit.

I had that happen with shield recharge sound at PAX. It looped for the whole game.

Work computers. Some companies restrict users from updating anything.

You'd think they would have a vested interest in making sure their browsers weren't out-of-date, likely more insecure pieces of standards-bucking crud.

Then again IT guys tend to be some frightfully egotistical people.

I know that feeling. Happened to me on Facebook as well.

Last night sucked lol. Halo 4 was maybe spoiled for me by that jackass reviewer, and then The Walking Dead was spoiled for me. Blegh.

Just got home. Opened the LE and find 9 god damn codes to enter.

Wouldn't it of been easier just to bundle all the 'exclusives' together, 343i?

Edit. DAT MENU MUSIC. Arhhhh, install faster disc 2!

*drools* Can't wait to experiment on forge

Anywho, after 2 hours of doing nothing, here's all the lineart (sky and projectiles might just be colored in)

For this reason, I wish discs would install in the background. That way, while both discs install, you can redeem all those codes. Then again, I guess you could just redeem them on the website while the discs install.

LE OST came with some avatar shirts that are black with the word UNSC on the front. Pretty nice.

One male, one female. Quote to get, and let me know if you got them!

I'm loving the Halo 4 campaign so far, only got to mission 5 but it's been excellent. Can't wait to get it wrapped up tomorrow and dive into war games.

Does anyone have the Locus helmet or any other pre-order (or limited edition console!) stuff going spare? I've got 120 games on DewXP.com that I could trade for them \o/
 
People seen the Halo 4 FAQ on Waypoint?

We’re playing in split-screen mode, and we can’t see any visual effects.
When you’re playing in split-screen mode, some of the visual effects are turned off to improve performance. To see the full range of visual effects in all their glory, play in full-screen mode.
Unfortunate, but expected.
I can’t see any file recommendations.
You may have too many Xbox LIVE friends. Try reducing your friends list to 98 players or less.
Bizarre.
The video quality seems to fluctuate a little when I’m watching Spartan Ops episode videos.
The quality of video playback depends on the speed of your internet connection and the amount of traffic on your local network. To enjoy Spartan Ops episode videos at the highest quality, it helps to have a fast internet connection.
Bleh! Have it buffer then.

Does anyone have any Halo 4 related downloadable codes you're willing to spare? Not for me personally, just doing something for a group of mine and wanted to help them out a bit. PM me if you have anything to spare.

I boarded the rear of a Scorpion and can’t plant a grenade.
When boarding the rear of a Scorpion, you can melee, but you can’t plant grenades. To plant a grenade on a Scorpion, try boarding at the front.
