So this game requires an 8 gb install for all multiplayer? Or is it just recommended? My friend wants to know and want a for sure answer. Thanks!

Multiplayer install is mandatory.

I don't have the game yet but 8GB is required minimum for War Games + Spartan Ops. War Games itself is only 2GB, and the first episode of Spartan Ops is 1.5GB, but I'm unsure of whether you need 8GB free just to install either or if it will even let you choose to only install War Games.

 

[Conscience Falls]

Just go off work, standing in line now. It's only -5! Atlantic Canada representing.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

I have to back to gamestop to get a number, and then back again to get in line with said number :3 wtf? I never went to a midnight launch so idk how big it'll be for my little local GS.

Basically everyone pays before 12. Then at 11:50 or so everyone gets on a line. Once 12 hits just walk up flash the receipt and they hand you whatever you paid for.

 

[Outtrigger888]

The multiplayer install is required.

Installing Disc 1 is optional.

Thanks ill be installing both my 250 gig slim is ready

 

[Sanjuro]

I'm just going to walk in there at twelve, like a boss. I only like hanging out with neckbeards once a year now.

 

[vincent vega]

what are my chances of picking up a standard edition tomorrow morning at gamestop without a pre order?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Not long now...

I know it is smelling my own farts, but the way the Forward Unto Dawn directors cut works on waypoint console is really nice. I wish Blu rays had a UI that intuitive.

Damn, I really wish my local GS got an extra LE in...I wish more that I would have preordered it sooner.

If anyone's interested in winning the already sold-out FUD statue from McFarlane Toys, stop by the Nerdist website and enter to win.

I'll try my luck, I really would like to win that.

For the moment. It's something we'll take a look at for a future update.

Co.Create - How to reinvent an icon: Behind Microsoft's rebuild of team Halo and the making of Halo 4

Seems like a nice read but I will save it after I finished the campaign.

Cool, Ill try to remember this after I beat it.

 

[Genesis Knight]

Again, where can I download the second disc from Xbox Live? I'm hearing that around the internet and I'd like "pre-install" it so I'm ready to go come midnight.

Is there a spoiler thread yet?

I don't think you can, Disc 1 gives you the option to download the contents if you try to go into Spartan Ops/War Games without it installed. Though the disc install isn't very long so I wouldn't fret it.

I want to do this, but I would rather wait an hour before then an hour after 12 seeing as the line will be massive

Alright cool thank you.

Reposting this marvellous work from the Community OT.

Ok done

Full size - No lineart, No shadows

Got really lazy with color and shadows, but I knew I wouldn't even touch the drawing for a week once I got my hands H4, so I finished it now

Yeah, it depends on the location. Mine is in a very small town and is a relatively new store. Worst case scenario is I'll wait ten minutes.

 

[polyh3dron]

My LE still hasn't shipped and I have prime, ordered mine back in June. Called Amazon and went off, bitch didn't offer to do shit except say sorry. Answered my email that said I wasn't helped sufficiently, called back and got someone way more helpful, changed my shipping to 1 day shipping so at least it'll be one day late instead of 2 days late and she credited me $10 for the inconvenience.

 

[Brannon]

Bring your damned 3DS units so's I can get me some Street/Spotpass action if you're going for midnight action, assholes. Atlanta sucks for this kind of thing and these events are the only way I can do it. So do it!

WTF is the point of the MP thruster pack.

WTF is the point of the MP thruster pack.

I've had some good use getting out of the way of vehicles and grenades and making some dashing escapes where my sprint was being slowed down by a hail of bullets. So far a lot of the AAs seem like they don't sway things around greatly, which is good; with how open a lot of the maps are even something like jetpack is more of a hindrance. Though I do get annoyed fighting against Promethean Vision. I haven't seen anyone use auto-sentry in MP yet however.

 

[MrDaravon]

There was a BTB video they put up where someone was using the thrusters to dodge vehicles pretty well.

 

[BootlegSnackz]

There are those that said this day would never come.

What are they to say now?


can't wait, going tonight to wait at like 9:30 or 10... they better have my LE copy dammnit.

 

[Ein Bear]

Where was the theme, 343?

WHERE WAS THE THEME!?

Bring a camera to your midnight event.

 

[kittens]

Six hours to go. :-(

 

[Lavalamp1138]

Wait so the 7.3 GB install for the first disc (singleplayer) is optional, but the 8.0 GB for disc 2 (multiplayer) is mandatory?

 

[Sanjuro]

You mean that old washed up theme from a decade ago?

I miss Amazon and not having to wait in line for 30 minutes. ;_; At least I have egg rolls.

I didn't think to use it sideways >_<

 

[Community Forum]

Amazon for some reason still hadn't shipped my copy, and had a delivery date of Thursday.

I canceled and will pick up tomorrow morning at Target, where they offer a free $10 gift card when you buy Halo 4 and a 12-pack of Mountain Dew.

That's more fitting anyway.

 

[Digital Limit]

Is there any benefit to installing the single player disc?

 

[Kud Dukan]

Is there any benefit to installing the single player disc?

Probably just the usual faster loading times.

 

[Hellish]

[Teknoman]

The horizontal boost AA works something like Unreal Tournament dodging, right?

 

[Kthreev]

Ordered from Amazon and it still hasn't shipped, but it does still claim the delivery estimate to be Nov. 6th. Should I be worried?

 

[BearPawB]

I believe its 8 gigs total single + multi. Someone had the multiplayer/spartan ops installed and it was only 3.5 gigs.

If your estimate is still the 6th you should be fine.. Expect a late night notice and delivery tomorrow.

It's happened with me a bunch of times.

 

[enzo_gt]

Nope.

Single player is a separate install.

Multiplayer install is mandatory. Multiplayer "War Games" is 2GB and Spartan Ops is 1.5 so far, because only the first episode is out. 4 more episodes to come, that will fill up the rest of that quoted 8GB figure.

 

[daedalius]

Some strange opinions in here.

 

[Ein Bear]

Huh, what happened to the Juggernaut gametype? That was one of our favourites amongst my group of friends

Regicide has taken its place somewhat. And it looks like tons of fun

Sweet. I won't be playing for a couple weeks. I'll be relying on these.

I believe there are a total of 10 episodes, not 5. So 9 more episodes!

 

[AndresON777]

Can't wait to rock the mech online

 

[Ken]

Can someone confirm something for me.

If you have the LE, is the code for the War Games Map Pass separate from the code with the digital LE bonuses like the Recruit skin?

 

[JohnnytheFuture]

Perhaps someone will know the answer to this question:

Will there be any issue for me down the line if I purchase the Asia version? (I hope to get DLC later on)
