I guess I didn't think it would be a big deal. Omlet and Devo talked about getting to see the game, Wu gave his opinion on getting to play. I will hold off though until I hear something. Like I said I am sure it isn't any different than what Wu played.

Got about three hours in tonight. I am sure it is the same build as Wu and those HBO guys played. It goes until the 25th so I will get some more time with it. I don't really know yet what the rules are for posting opinions.

Edit: just to clarify it isn't my account. So I have to go over to my buddies place who is MS.

I didn't say I was proud, but I do well enough to win more than lose, which adds a lot to my base enjoyment of the game. I feel like I have a good grip on the gameplay. I didn't mean to imply that I could play professionally or anything.

That's a really low benchmark for judging something, that's like saying a book is really enjoyable I'f the plot Is straightforward. Biff and Chip would be the new Shakespeare.


I'm semi joking, but I find that with reach even if I do well, I don't enjoy it as much as say a game I might not be so good at. I'm not trying to demean your opinion btw, I was joking before about liking 100% bloom being a bad opinion, I was just curious why you liked it and made a bad joke as part of that.

Edit: Pretty awesome Blood got to play the game. I wonder how widespread the beta is. Like what level you have to be to get in, I assume only the senior management type guys would be trusted, but most of those guys probably don't play Halo or video games anyway, if your reading this bill gates I'll buy your h4 beta access for 2100ms points!

Glad somebody is lighting a fire under Bungie's ass. You eat what you kill. Reach was sloppy as shit and ODST was disappointing, they got too comfortable in their abandoned movie theater complex. I expect good things to come out of this.

Because the game launched twenty bucks more than it should have? Could have waited a month or so for a non-essential side story campaign which was rock solid in every facet but price to fall within a reasonable price range.

You lucky man!

Can you check if using hologram while sprinting will render the hologram using it?

That will be nice. You can kick back and enjoy. I work nights, so I should be able to follow a lot of it. But I'll need to sleep at some point during the day and then catch up on what I missed later.

That wasn't a benchmark. I didn't say I enjoyed it because I do well. I said that doing well adds to my enjoyment. Winning is more fun than losing, part of winning is pacing my shots at range and I can tell that I do worse when not pacing shots. I feel like I'm pretty good at pacing my shots and using the mechanic to my advantage. I don't know what else to say. Bloom feels fine to me.

Well there'll probably be about half a million Limited Editions, so I'd say "not very".
Click to expand...

Half a million limited editions 10 million xbl players if 20% of those buy Halo 4 then the skin is going to be 1 in 40 players thats pretty rare.

Halo 4 LE is 70 euros on amazon which is the price of a regular game here in Portugal. BOUGHT

Wouldn't shipping costs be pretty high? I mean, I can get free shipping on any order over €25 on Amazon.co.uk, but shit usually arrives pretty late when I do.

I don't think the Bungie deal is so bad, Activision are just protecting their assets.

The amount of money Bungie are getting is totally insane.

$1m just to make ViDocs!
