After all the IGN First details that were revealed I couldn't be more pumped for Scalebound. But I need to contain myself for another year so games like Halo will help pass the time. With Division/Uncharted hitting in March.
LCE and Halo 5 X1 Limited Edition come out on the 20th. With download codes.

I'm not waiting longer for Halo 5 so a few of you can have your Splitscreen.
You don't like it, you're not the target demographic.
Split Screen was not the most important aspect of Halo... It was a good bonus. But Forge was way more important then Split screen.
If Forge was gone it'd hurt the replayability and community of the game. Split Screen doesn't harm either of those.
It stops a few people like you from buying it but it doesn't hurt the community, you don't seem like the active Halo community member if Split Screen is a deal breaker for you. Repackaged Forge would...
Blue Team has had other spartans fill the spots. But 343i seems to have wrote it that Blue Team were running missions while Chief was fighting off the covenant/flood.
It's all about maximizing marketing and not only getting people who own Xboxs to buy it but all those millions of people who've played Halo to sit there and watch it on youtube and go "Dam....Now I have to buy an Xbox."
Kazuma only did several songs in the H4 soundtrack. Look to MGS Peacewalker and MGS4 for examples of his epic work before Halo 5.
So glad to not see Par Score/Par Time achievements. All these achievements are pretty do-able. I already know I'll be doing a Co-op Legendary run THEN a Solo Legendary run... Then a few collectibles runs. Halo is the one franchise I can beat each game over and over again and still have a big smile on my face.
Achievements also confirm that Wardens will be boss fights. I'm so excited, it's like playing through Halo 2 again XD.
They aren't putting their heart into it because then they'll do what they did with the kinect and commit too much resources on making VR games.
When Phil has stated he wants to make people believe in the Xbox brand for having epic AAA games not be recognized for small AA Kinect/VR titles... Like the 360 last gen.
That's what playlists are for. Are you not understanding the purpose of it?
Slayer = TDM matches
SWAT = SWAT matches
FFA = FFA matches
Only certain ones like "Arena" are an assortment of different maps & modes. Removing voting simply allows for more variety in these playlists rather then the same map over and over.
"Here's a 343 blog on its stupidly named bullshit made up currency with phrases like "the REQ economy" and "REQ packs,""
Ahhh the reasons to never take Destructoid seriously keep stacking up. I mean seriously is it hard to refrain from the use of "Bullshit" when you're typing out an article that people are reading for educative purposes not your own personal bias.
And then ending the article with "DO YOU WA...
Since I didn't read the Spoilers I'm pretty safe... For now (Still got 2 weeks) but a lot of people are flooding Fan fiction online so take all "Spoilers" with a grain of salt since there are apparently contradicting ones.
Who cares about review scores? I mean have you people seen how awful major reviews are? Gamespot,IGN,Destructoid,Etc.. .. They suck at these games so they give them rough scores for it.
I'm just waiting to see Gamespots HORRENDOUS review. Hopefully they prove me wrong but seriously it's Gamespot.
No you can tell that 343i was establishing a team when they were making Halo 4. The studio was created in 2009 but had mainly worked on Halo Legends and Waypoint.
By 2010 when Reach hit they went into total overhaul of recruiting. Building a team while trying to transition into AAA development.
I doubt you beat the campaign on Legendary in 4 hours unless it was 4 player Co-op.
Chief beats Locke or fakes his death only for ONI to send more Spartans after him. There are quite a few badass Spartans still alive in the universe. A lot of MIAs.
It's all about preference. But choosing to bring that preference in here opens you to reticule. And if the gameplay looks "a tad underwhelming" then I'd suggest stop watching the video in 480p and watch it in HD. Or even check your eyes because while they retained the base models from Halo 4 for Chief/Covenant. The game has crazy detail.
My body is Reggie. Time for the hunt to begin!
It's pretty much the limited edition game ($99) mixed with the limited edition console. Yeah the price is worth it to me. And it's $549.99 in Canada.
The point of "Limited Edition" isn't to clear the shelves. But to give fan service for those who were just waiting till now to get an X1 for Halo.
Same goes for Gears 4 when it hits. I expect the same price point but with crazy detail like the Gears 3 360 had.
Like the Sprint Season 3 teaser spoiler... I take everything with a grain of salt. Only 16 more days for me now.
2018 (3 year dev cycle for each Halo)
What makes it possible is Software advancements. And targetting Split Screen.
