Hay that's not nice :(.

Ugh they still list you as 4th place for games where you get disconnected before the match even starts. Where do the screenshots get uploaded to?

What are you talking about? The legendary is fine, we've known for a couple days it ONLY affects the limited and not everyone is experiencing it. You could just open it there and depending on the outcome act accordingly...

well every single copy of Limited Edition is was scratched up at my Ebgames.

as for Legendary, i thought it had the LE in the box.
 
Has anyone else seen this?

Fast action by Microsoft to address it directly.
 
I have to say, the brute shot rocks so much harder than it did in 2. That thing saved my ass many times last night. Coolest part for me so far: towards the end of the first level,
I charged a shit ton of brutes and grunts with the brute shot, ran out of ammo, and chucked a grenade at a brute and two grunts. Just as my grenade reached them, the brute threw down a bubble shield, trapping my grenade inside and demolishing them as I sped past.
I cannot wait to get home from work.

Edited for spoilers, though I really don't think it spoils anything at all...
 
I don't have the game, nor Xbox Live nor mates to play with even if I had the game, but can one check out the MP maps as a single player playing against no one? Just wondering...

Yeah, you can even fly around them with a free camera if you want. It's all part of the Forge.

I'm pretty sure you can go in Forge by yourself and check them out, though I haven't personally tried it yet.

Edit: One post too late! AAARGGH
 
The framerate is a bit annoying. It runs smooth to the point where most people would never complain BUT there is always a very slight stutter. I thought my launch 360 was acting up, but I just checked it out on my friends two week old HDMI Premium 360 running on an SDTV and it was running exactly the same. I'm kind of disappointed with that aspect of the game.

Outside of that, however, the visuals are excellent. Not Gears quality in terms of detail, but the actual vision and design of everything is so lovely that it never matters.

:D

Only kidding, I haven't played it yet. Does it occur in MP, or just in the single player campaign? I could see it being a problem for some in MP.

Was a total non-spoiler. QQ.

I've been avoiding any possible spoiler information like the freakin' plague. What you quoted at least implied something that I won't bother to mention here, and it pissed me off. Like I said, I don't give a damn if this thread got deleted or not, I just just don't want ANY spoiler BS (no matter how seemingly insignifgant it may be in the end), especially coming from a mod on the day before the game was released.

Imagine your reaction if someone pulled a similar stunt around here before Bioshock was released. You'd be just as angry as I'm sure I'd be.


That's all I say about this.

I noticed the 1 sec stutters, they could be related to loading or checkpoint or playing COOP, who knows...

the framerate is excellent in my own opinion.

and someone kiss Marty for me, amazing soundtrack.

Reading review quotes = worst media blackout ever. Great job.

Whining over nonspoilers. Manbaby indeed.

*ninja vanish. For serious*

Cool. Thanks. I've always found the Valhalla map beautiful in online pics.

I'll try to get the game later when I'm done with work.

It's not really stutters, I suppose. It's just that, when you pan the camera, it rarely appears completely smooth. I don't know how to explain it as it is really subtle, but it feels strange. I really don't understand what the deal is.

Certainly not a game breaker as it really doesn't run choppy, it just takes a bit off of the polish.
 
Insanely dumb question, but I got a skull. WTF do I do with it? I mean, how do I activate it and move on to fight with my weapons?
 
My one complaint with the sound so far is the balance of everything over my standard speakers. Time to hookup the 5.1 me thinks so I can start actually feeling the weapons.

level 4 spoilars

So,
how everyone who has the game take down the scarab. I did it twice, because the first time I missed the cuscene at the end. First time I just used those rocket turrets to drop it to it's knees, and went to go kill it. By the time I got there though a marine finished it off, WTF?

Second time through though, I jumped off the crane and made my way through the scarab. This was immensly more satisfying, as the feeling of movement on the scarab was unparraled. Very Shadow of the colossus.

One review said the combat was still stuck in 2001, man, if this is 2001 combat, why hasn't anyone else caught up?
 
Does anyone else notice how fluid the movable objects make the battles? Especially with all the brute shot rounds and grenades flying around.

admit it Tekno, you love halo so much you can't stay away ;)

Anyone else notice that there seems to be an insane amount of checkpoints? I swear I get one after every ten steps I take.

Yes, I noticed. There are checkpoints mere seconds apart and with no combat at all in between.

Same thing you did second time round. Definitely my favourite part so far.
