Halo 4 Thread| The Pit Returns Aug.20

Would have to buy too much stuff to get this game, new controller (broke last one playing Halo 3 ) and a gold subscription, not including the game. Really tempted though

 

[xxpizzo]

I need to go pre-order this after work today, i gotta stop slackin

 

[memphissfinest]

GOD DAMN.

FORWARD UNTO DAWN IS GOOD.

WHY MICROSOFT DOESN'T CASH IN ON THIS MOVIE CASH COW IS BEYOND ME.

 

[mister doitnice]

That's what I'm wondering as well. It's not like people wouldn't go see it at the box office. Between all the games, and books the groundwork is already in place. I'm pretty impressed with the way this is turning out so far. What they did with the elites was dope. I wouldn't mind seeing some grunts running away in fear.

 

[stick]

This weeks Forward Unto Dawn was pretty good. I liked Part III better though. Next week's episode is the last one.

 

[captain charisma]

Seriously, they need to make a Halo movie. It's to the point where I'm at "Shut up and take my money." I'm really enjoying Forward Unto Dawn.

We need a movie! I can't wait for Halo 4.

 

[Nujavez]

Anyone else just super impressed with how nice the graphics are in Halo 4? especially since its on an 7 yr old xbox 360

Spoiler

 

[frankthetank]

Games looking really good. Gameplay wise I'm thinking Halo:Reach but overall I'm excited to get this game. Will be religiously playing.

Crimson Map Pack (December release timeframe)

Maps: Landfall, Monolith, Skyline
Description: Landfall’s emphasis is on infantry battles against a glittering ocean on a distant world, while Monolith exposes you to the naked vacuum of space – and the firepower of opposing teams, and Skyline’s distinctly industrial feel provides new challenges in somewhat familiar, but occasionally confined spaces.
Castle Map Pack (April release timeframe)
Maps: Daybreak, Outcast, Perdition

SMH map packs already announced? You already started building the maps but somehow they couldnt be included in the box... OH...

 
Rumors of some remakes coming are flying around as well so I guess I cant be too mad

So this is like COD Elite then correct?

I don't like this, but I'm getting the game for $45 and $25 for the Season Pass would bring the total to $70 Still not happy about this though.

Seems like these game companies are just trying to squeeze as much out from people as they can these days.

I just popped in Reach earlier today to play... man within 20 minutes I realized by I stopped playing that crap

I don't like that riot shield thing they put in because people are going to use it just like they did armor lock and then when you're waiting for it to finish either the other team will show up and take you out or he'll regain his health.
I don't know why they're putting in something like that that will just delay you getting a kill.
Man does Reach suck donkey balls

I am so used to COD now that playing bumper jumper I was sucking the first 2-3 games and then I got back into the groove but that stupid ******g bloom with the DMR

I would have a motherF with his shields down needing one shot and either the bloom was causing me to miss or I would wait a little bit and then the other player would spam and kill me.
Got I hate Halo Reach so much... I can't believe people said that Halo 3 sucked... 3 is god like compared to Reach.

bruh who the hell is that in your avy

 

[John Wick]

Wheresthebbest place to preorder? All the places I seen preorder goodies sucked....

 

[miniojw]

I'm going to cop this game play it for about a week than move onto COD. Like I do every year. I did pre order it for $45 on newegg. So all over here.

NON-VISIBLE TRUE SKILL RANKING....

SMH.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I preorder on that $15 off deal at Newegg, when do yall think we'll get the game?

 

[jay23oth]

No rush I'll cop black friday

 

[blakep267]

NON-VISIBLE TRUE SKILL RANKING....
SMH.

ehh, I remember in halo 3, I stalled on level 45 for like 2 years. So after a while, it really meant nothing to me. I prefer the insignia's

 

[knightngale]

NON-VISIBLE TRUE SKILL RANKING....
SMH.

Yeah the game is basically Halo Reach 2.0. These dudes copied a lot of stuff from Reach and COD.

No visible ranks means that I will get bored of this game within a month just like Reach. Did they not learn how the Reach player population went downhill fast?

It is like if Halo 2 had only social playlists. :x:x:x:x:x

They also removed assault from the game and BTB seems to be only slayer. MAKES NO DAMN SENSE

Nah man ranked playlists were where it was at. Even in playlists that I got stalled in I would still play because there was that motivation to get to a higher rank. I even played playlists that I hated like snipers and SWAT in order to try and get my rank up. It really should be back. People are just going to end up statwhoring now cause winning just means less than it should with no ranks.

Quoted and enlarged for emphasis. Assault was the truth man, I dont understand. I really dont care that the majority of the population prefers Slayer over Objective but to not even include it is just dumb and a slap in the face to people who love OBJ. Worst tjong that theyve done hands down.

 

[TB513]

Why can't they give us something close to the multiplayer gameplay Halo 2 had? That was by far the best/most addicting game I have ever played. Spent years playing on it and just started playing Reach again the other day and it is such a let down (same with H3). Anyways if anyone want to hit up live on the new one my gamer tag is: TheLastEmper0r with a zero

 

[spizike231]

The confirmation of the ranking system being Halo: Reach's just guaranteed that I WILL get bored of this game and will be playing Blops 2 all day after a few weeks.

SMH 343 clearly doesn't know exactly what we want. It's pretty clear.

H2-H3 ranking system.
BR done right.
MLG.
Smooth gameplay with better framerate.
Story line done justice.

The end.

On another note, Forward Unto Dawn has far exceeded my expectations, and I'm now throwing my money at the TV screen in hopes of a movie to be made.. (I watch it on my TV from YouTube on my Xbox so i can see it in HD and hear it in my Astros) Straight crack.

Anybody gonna wanna play when it comes out? I'm off the day after release, so I'm goin in.

GT: xTHHx Bazooka
^ Friends list probably full so just message me saying you're from NT

THIS, THIS, AND MORE THIS.

I REALLY DON'T GET WHAT THEY HAVE AGAINST VISIBLE RANKING SYSTEM. HAVE THEY EVER STATED WHY THEY WON'T IMPLEMENT THE H2-H3 RANK SYSTEM OR WHAT THEY HAVE AGAINST IT?

I FEEL LIKE IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THOSE DAMN EXPERIENCE POINT BEING PROMOTED WITH MOUNTAIN DEW AND DORITOES FOR PEOPLE TO BUY THOSE PRODUCTS FOR THE XP POINTS. WITH A VISIBLE RANK THERE IS NO INCENTIVE TO BUY THAT STUFF TO GET THE POINTS. NOT THAT I WOULD BUY ANYWAY
