Should I have read Primordium to get this joke, because I don't get it

Oh no its not a 'joke' thats come from Primordium, I just meant that in terms of the fact that I dont really care.

But it just struck me that the whole Forerunner thing cant have happened, considering we came a long time after the dinosaurs.

Unless... The Dinosaurs WHERE the forerunners. OMG

I have actually been working 40+ hours a week since June without pay. Requirement to get licensed.

thats the joke

The DLC maps are better than the disc maps, but I wouldn't say they're absolutely necessary. Most of the playlists do not require DLC.

Right now, only the Anniversary DLC is worth to download, if I can add this information.

 

[Devolution]

Love playing people I can beat but because of how Reach is and being a man down it's like HURP DURP.

I mostly played 2v2 games in Halo CE. Once or twice a month we would hook two Xboxes together for 4v4, maybe once a year we would manage 6v6. I don't know if I ever played Halo CE in an 8v8 setup.

If I had to guess how much time we spent on each map it would look like this:
40% - Blood Gulch
20% - Sidewinder
10% - Hang 'em High
8% - Battle Creek
5% - Boarding Action
3% - Prisoner
3% - Wizard
3% - Damnation
2% - Longest
2% - Derelict
2% - Chill Out
1.5% - Rat Race
0.5% - Chiron

Its pretty much commonly understood that after the Halo firings the forerunners re-seeded the galaxy with life. Right?

Where the hell do dinosaurs fit into all of this!??

Frankie, I demand answers. If Halo 4 isnt about a dinosaur forerunner conspiracy I will be dissapoint, I just cant handle any other storyline because of how broken the fiction is. Theres still time to change the storyline, set things right.

Dude. The story of the Forerunners happened 100,000 Years ago. And not 65,000,000 years.

"Dinosaurs are a diverse group of animals of the clade and superorder Dinosauria. They were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for over 160 million years, from the late Triassic period (about 230 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous (about 65 million years ago), when the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event led to the extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs at the close of the Mesozoic era."

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Then who where Humans?

 

[bobs...onGaf]

You just ruined my fun Hypertrooper.

For some reason I cant quite comprehend the idea of the Dinosaurs being older than the Forerunners. Putting things into perspective that's insane.

 

[kittens]

I wanna know how the disappearance of the unicorns fits into all this. The unicorn emblem pretty much makes them canon. Frankie, we demand answers.

If you don't follow Marty on Twitter you may have missed this tidbit: The original ending to the MacWorld '99 reveal of Halo.

Marty explains:

"As I recall, we thought the Apple logo would get a good crowd response. Then we thought it would be too cute and changed it back.

Halo was being developed for both PC and Mac at that time anyway."

 

[The Librarian]

Oho!

 

[kittens]

If 343 isn't going to give as Halo 4 info, they could at least give us an ARG. We clearly need something to do.

They did. Every time someone uses evade in Team Objective:

"Arggggh."

 

[The Librarian]

Who's that motorcross bike dude on the Halo 4 cover?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Who's that motorcross bike dude on the Halo 4 cover?

I believe his name is John Dongblain.

 

[kittens]

I wonder if Chief's hands being empty in that Halo 4 art has any greater significance.

They did. Every time someone uses evade in Team Objective:

"Arggggh."

smh <3

give him some penis protection and then I'm fine with it

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Torso is different but not a bad different and the helmet looks fine, the only real change is the mouth area and that no better or worse its just different.

Each to their own but alot of people jumping on 343 for various things (like chiefs new look for instance) and honestly they have had no room to prove themselves, if they do a bad job ill call them out on it but so far i think they have do alot for halo.

Even if some (myself included) don't appreciate every change they made the fact they did something while bungie to a degree just sat back, is worth taking note of. They didnt have to do any of the reach update stuff at all CE:A could of shipped just bundled with the halo reach multiplayer but they decided to try and improve upon the flawed formula of reach which im glad for.

The Studio has talent in abundance hopefully the team will gel well and Halo 4 will return Halo to at least some of its former glory.

Joke post? frankie confirmed that he has a cod piece its just black now (didnt he?)

 

[feel]

Is this the same helmet that was in the teaser?? That one looked fine to me but this one just looks super weird, dunno if it's the angle or what.

I don't like the angular chest/abdomen area of the suit either. Seems random and ugly.

Isn't that art like, as old as the Halo 4 announcement?

Thanks!

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Yup was on the halo 4 xbox.com page as soon as the trailer hit

I think its a bad representation of the armor for some people. Looks fine to me.

 

[Barrow Roll]

^Looks fantastic in the trailer, just looks awful in the promo art.

 

[Tashi]

Yea I think it's the pose and not necessarily the armor itself.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I don't like it in the trailer, either. :lol

 

[StalkerUKCG]

I don't like it in the trailer, either. :lol

Do you like anything!?

 

[Ramirez]

Who's that motorcross bike dude on the Halo 4 cover?

Where were your motocross biker comments for past games? All of the helmets have some resemblance to a bike helmet.

 

[The Henery]

Is that in engine?

 

[Barrow Roll]

I don't like it in the trailer, either. :lol

Yeah well, you don't even play this game anymore.

Is that in engine?

Lol, no. CG Trailer.

Yeah, id have to agree with ram here, its not really a valid complaint when you look across all the past armours in the series.

Small unrelated note, My spell check makes me type Armour and not Armor. Deal with it yanks

Is that in engine?

Yea

Which was only further emphasised by the ATV in Halo 3!

[kittens]

Yeah, it's the pose. Makes Chief look weird. The armor looks effing awesome in the trailer.

Edit: Except for the glaring lack of codpiece. That needs to be fixed.

 

[Domino Theory]

Yeah, it's the pose. Makes Chief look weird. The armor looks effing awesome in the trailer.

i wonder if the Chief will have the typical Call of Duty/every other shooter known to man these days pose for Halo 4's boxart.

Embrace your Halo 4 MJOLNIR overlord and I'll take it back.

It's got the blue, all it needs is some orange.

Only if the canon permits it! :'(

Seriously though, I'm growing used to it. Nothing's going to top Halo 3 MJOLNIR, but it could be worse...
