Did you time it independently, or are you going off the stats in the game? Because if it's the latter it doesn't include any cinematics (~one hour) or multiple deaths/retries.

This is my biggest gripe with the MP so far. So much for map control and remembering respawn times on power weapons.
You have to reach SR 50 to enroll in a Specialization.

Have to get to SR-50.
I love Reach, but lol. All things considered, it's really hard to argue against Halo: CE not being the best campaign.
Had some good games with some GAFfers. Gonna run again tomorrow, definitely.
Doing heroic and I definitely am feeling the ammo pinch. Just finished Chapter 3 and so far it's been a real pain in regards to ammo.
i miss those holy shit rockets have respawned quick someone get them moments. it's all random shit now.

H4
HCE
HReach
H3
ODST
H2
Thats how it stands for me.
The more i play the H4 sp the more i love it. It gets better and better.
My only issue with it is the sometimes glitchy AI. They sometimes dont react or move.
Yep, the atmosphere is extremely impressive.

I just played a game of BTB using nothing but power weapons.

Modesty becomes a woman
I spawn with a power weapon.
Just cleared the 4th stage and yeah, this is a damn fine looking console game. It's at the very least- neck and neck with the biggest visual showpieces on ps3 and would easily hold it's own even on PC with where one would assume you'd get a resolution and framerate boost (obviously not coming out but I'm trying to compare apples to apples here).
I'm also finding that true to form, the first 2 stages of any halo game are always the weakest bits then the 3rd and 4th stages add enough elements and expanded level design to keep me going. This newest Halo is no exception in that regard.
So far my only real gripe remains the same as yesterday- the warthog doesn't sound like it should. I suppose I could bitch about the promethian weaponry being too similar to the covenent/human weapons but ehhh I don't think they can really go too crazy there. I've still got some issues with the narrative that I can't really complain about until I've finished the game but the main storyline conceit seems to basically be the same as halo 1 so far, I'll obviously finish the game at some point and decide if this is still the case.

H1=H2>H3>ODST>>>>>Reach
For MP:
H2>(barely)H1>H3>>>>>Reach
For story:

Poor old Reach.

I like how wall hacks are now a feature.
Power weapons all over the place leaves this game far behind H2 and 3 in multi.

Could somebody please tell me what time they cap your xp for the day?
So I JUST stepped into the
mantis, and y'know what? I want a mech game. I mean a straight-up action game built around jumping in and out of mechs. A few days ago I was reminiscing about old side scrolling mech games of the 16-bit era like Cybernator, Target Earth, and Metal Warriors. Why can't we have some shit like that now? Mechs are already becoming a trend in first person shooters, why not go all the way?

2. Halo 3
3. Halo 3: ODST
4. Halo: Reach
5. Halo 2
4 is pretty damn good so far though.

Get MechAssault 1 and 2 on Xbox.
I got to play a decent amount of multiplayer with friends today. I gotta say it is really fun. I can't remember a time where I was worried about someone with a shotgun, sword, or rocket launcher in this game. Almost every weapon can hold it's own and there are a lot of ways you can get owned now lol.The DMR is amazing, it sounds amazing, kills are amazing. The BR is good too but man I'm getting more kills with the DMR right now. Still got the same random skill level so far though. Consistency is not how i play my halo :3

Shift is run. MMB is melee. Right Mouse is zoom. Ctrl is special ability, C is crouch. Space Bar is jump. Xim3 makes playing this so much fun.

Anyone else having this odd issue? It's probably due to my shitty campus network.
I can matchmake just fine in War Games, but when I try to matchmake for Spartan Ops stuff, I lose my Xbox Live connection until I restart the game.

Are you using the trial? It didnt work for me beacause I was using the 2 week trial. Everytime we tried it would sign him off too.

I think they check your service record for the amount of hours you've actually spent playing MP.

What the hell is wrong with Microsoft that they're not selling Halo 4, Halo Anniversary, ODST digitally now? Are they allergic to making as much money as possible?

Just got to level 6 on solo legendary. Calling it a night. At least the game finally seems to be hitting its stride.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
This actually got me to finally sign up for Xbox Rewards, even though it's pretty useless outside of offers like this and for when you renew your Gold subscription. Might as well buy the season pass this month and get 100 free points. I don't think I'll be playing 140+ hours of MP in three weeks, though...
Speaking of the season pass, has anyone bought/redeemed it yet? Do you get the helmets right away?

Loving it so far BUT I'm having such a awkward time with the fact there is no traditional iron sights. I laughed at that review but now I know exactly what that he was saying. I should be able to look down my weapons for better shots. It just does not feel right. I don't remember having such a awkward time in Reach but then again its been over year since I last played it.
And FUCK, give us user control key mapping. It is 2000 fucking 12. Why the hell is this so hard on consoles? Give me control over ever damn button. FUCK.

It does... You just have to use the thumb stick to view temporary file history.
Halo 4's UI is at times very un-intuitive, I really do not know what they were thinking with some of the changes they made.
Whoa, didn't know about this. I must have been busy playing.
Looks like I'll be playing a lot. I love XBL Rewards.TheBryanJZX90

I have no idea why the UI is like this, but in theater if you hit start, then on that menu go to the rightmost option on the bottom row (file share I think? it doesn't make sense because you haven't shared it) then you can get to your recent game videos. It really makes absolutely no sense why they don't just show up as the first item in the first menu option under theater.
