The simple fact their website is changing has me hyped for Destiny. Hopefully we get some kind of tease once the update is live.

Chill out, HaloGAF.

I'm guessing the odds of the latter are pretty high, along the lines of new backgrounds or such. Don't expect anything major.
I thought 343 got rights to the Superintendent?

Yea. I really don't know where the sudden hype came from. They've been saying it's nothing big all along.

Nope I play CTF mostly, Infinity Big Team when friends are on and dabble with Team Regicide or Infinity Slayer. I want to play more but family, holidays and my own company have kept me too busy this last month or so.
Go Halo Waypoint stats > War Games Matchmaking (world icon) > Click overview on the right hand side > click the " + view all weapon stats" per playlist to see the statistics. Oops my bad on my statistics I only posted Slayer boltshot stats...
All gametypes combined:
Kills: 0
Deaths: 22
Total Deaths: 1492
CTF
Kills: 0
Deaths: 16
Slayer
Kills: 0
Deaths: 6
All other gametypes = 0 kills & 0 deaths to boltshot
Got a copy of the rumored specs?
I heard that it is going to be like a gaming computer that can play Xbox games. So basically like that Steambox thing.
I don't believe it though.
That defeats the appeal of consoles for me--hardware that can play the next X years of content no problem. Not shipping the 360 with a hard drive was a horrible mistake that messed up plenty of games--I don't want to see that get worse with "only plays on SKU with Y system requirements".
I thought Frankie said he drove a Honda Fit.

I just wanted to open the statistics beyond my own games. Want to post your stats? I'm curious to know where the boltshot spam comes into play that's all. Knowledge. Power. Something. Something.
Cool thanks, have your total deaths handy?

Dev units usually have double the amount of RAM compared with retail units.
Nobody here should be expecting 8. If those specs are accurate, the retail unit will have 4.

Overall Deaths : 5332
Hm... 4 then. Still, that's a lot. That's how much my laptop has.
I don't think it's necessarily the rule that its double retail units, final may come up to 6 gb of ram. Somebody in the thread mentioned that the Alpha Units had 12 gb of ram. This is of course assuming these rumours are even true. The source is apparently reliable though.

Thats good, should be a SSD though, screw HDD's.
Hence why they're going to let you have it cheaper with a multi year Live contract.

I put this in the other specs thread but thought I'd post it here since it's being discussed.
I'd prefer to see:
1. 16Gb memory in this HD age & future-proofing
2. SSD over large HDD for performance
3. Potential dual network ports using an aggregate system, stream or download a movie while playing an online game, provide bridging systems for other entertainment devices or mobiles/tablets or also provide an aggregate stream system as many ISP's support this. You could even use one port for streaming or one for hosting or both for gameplay etc.
4. Multiple screen support so coop on the same console could be done without splitscreen. So many players own multiple screen these days why not suppot two or more monitors to handle two players each with their own controller and screen? Or be able to up the game resolution and split a single player game across 2/3/4 monitors?
5. Streaming built in e.g. YouTube rendering from any game, voice/screen streaming for live game streaming to Twitch or a new XBL service etc.
That's just some ideas but so far the rumours are looking really tame in terms of deliverable features. I hope they get creative and more is released away from these specifications only rumours.
I'm also hoping for vastly improved AI, physics, interactive elements, procedural mechanics and more. If developers use the new resources just for graphics then it's fail big time. We need more developer resources spent on key game elements like AI, physics etc. Game worlds that are always on developing, interacting and generally using the hardware resources for more intelligent features than just larger redraw distances and higher Levels of Details (LOD) systems.

Where are you guys getting your CES info?

Game consoles use RAM much differently than PC's do. Direct comparisons are not fair.
16GB is overkill for a console and too expensive at this point. The majority of PCs are using 4GB and less. Shit, I have 16GB in the computer I'm typing from now, I've yet to locate a game that actually makes use of it.
The majority of people according to telemetry I've seen are still on 4GB and less, across Mac and PC. Steam's stats back me up on this.

With Twitch gaining popularity recently, this would be a brilliant idea for Microsoft. Cut out the middle man and allow gamers to stream directly from the console.

Im more concerned as to what will happen to my arcade games...
The only way that will be usable though, is if they reserve notable amounts of RAM and a core for OS stuff just for streaming. While the built in BLOPS2 streaming is neat, it has to deal with the reality that the same hardware is both playing the game @ 60fps and needing to generate an image to send to Youtube's servers, so it's like 15fps 240p.
