Yes for the campaign, a no for multiplayer.

Well there won't be playing as Covenant in multiplayer, only UNSC Spartan IV's. I like your idea though. I don't know if 343i thinks it is. Also this is a community forum. Go to Waypoint forums for that. Thanks.

A lot of people have already pre-purchased Diablo III. Blizzard said the game set a new, all-time preorder record for the company. During an earnings call this afternoon, CEO Mike Morhaime stated that 2 million people total signed up for the Diablo III beta, which includes numbers from the open beta a few weeks ago. He also said 1.2 million players subscribed to the World of Warcraft Annual Pass, which includes a free copy of Diablo III. "Our players are clearly excited about Diablo III as it's already set a Blizzard record for preorders, including those who signed up for the annual pass," Morhaime stated. Diablo III launches next Tuesday, May 15.

Sony's PS3 had an internet browser since day one, and a recent rumor suggests that Microsoft's Xbox 360 is finally getting one of its own. The Verge, citing multiple sources, has a rumor that the system will get a fully functional Internet Explorer browser that can be controlled via Kinect voice and motion gestures (but Kinect will not be mandatory). The 360 currently only has a Bing search for media. If this is true, E3 would be as good a time as any to announce this move. In these days of tablets and smart phones, does anyone care about a browser on their system anymore?

Microsoft said the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft has has broken all previous Xbox Live Arcade digital sales records, selling more than any other title in the first 24 hours. The company was unable to provide exact sales figures, but they say over 400,000 players are playing the game. Minecraft released yesterday. Check out our review of the game right here.

Hello and welcome to 343i community forums.

Treyarch’s Black Ops II marks the series’ first move into the future, but it also raises questions about the ongoing relationship between Activision and Infinity Ward. Over two years ago, details regarding the lawsuit began to appear publicly. One such detail stated that Call of Duty titles set after Vietnam would be exclusive to Infinity Ward. We recently obtained some court documents (which you can see below), and it appears that this clause was indeed included in Infinity Ward’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). As you can see in the MOU excerpt above, Infinity Ward had the rights to all Call of Duty games set in “modern day (post-Vietnam), the near future, or distant future.” With Black Ops II’s 2025 setting, it’s clear that Treyarch went with the near future setting anyway. With the historically stressful relationship between Infinity Ward and Treyarch, the documents suggest that the latter may have been frustrated with their restrictions.. Several documents allude to Treyarch’s repeated attempts to feature elements that would make the original Black Ops “feel more modern” or otherwise bank off of the popularity of the Modern Warfare name. One complaint revolves around the use of guns in Black Ops that weren’t designed or made available until the 1980s or 1990s. Another centers on an email from an Activision rep that initially proposed “Modern Warfare Origins” as a title for Black Ops, branding it as a prequel to Infinity Ward’s series. Infinity Ward’s MOU states that the developer had the rights to anything featuring Modern Warfare branding. Despite this, former Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella claim that Activision never provided them with the gold master of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex (the Treyarch-developed Wii port of Call of Duty 4) before the game went into production. Another claim states that Activision attempted to keep Infinity Ward in the dark regarding the development of the free-to-play Call of Duty Online title (which never materialized). Considering that the trial is yet to happen, it's unclear if Activision could land itself in legal trouble thanks to Black Ops II's futuristic setting. I spoke with Eric Chad, an intellectual property attorney with the firm Merchant & Gould. Regarding Activision's punishment if Zampella and West win the lawsuit, Chad said "[Pulling Black Ops II from the shelves] is likely a possible remedy. This does occasionally happen, but I think it is much more likely that the remedy would be some sort of damages payment, like a forced royalty." He continued, "It seems like Black Ops II is likely substantially complete. That might make it hard for the court to order them to change it. Much more likely would be either of the remedies you discussed above [Pulling the game or facing a damage payment]. Damages, in my opinion, are the most likely." Many of the court documents make mention of the “post-Vietnam” clause, but the current status of the agreement is unknown. I asked Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia about the matter last month, and he declined to comment. Other attempts to reach out to Activision reps have been met with similar silence (which is understandable considering they’re in relation to ongoing litigation). One likely scenario is that Activision believes the agreement was voided when West and Zampella were fired, allowing Treyarch to legally break the Vietnam barrier. Despite this, we may not know for sure until more details of the ongoing trial are made public.

Nice interview.

Mass Effect 3 has generated over $200 million in sales since its release in March. The conclusion to BioWare's trilogy was met with mixed reviews from gamers, but one thing is certain: that's a lot of money. EA shouldn't get too excited though, The Avengers made the same amount in one weekend.

Hello and welcome to 343i community forums.

So have quick match option for both of them? That seems good, also i think quick matches should have no leader board stats just a fun quickmatch haha. Ranked should be leaderboard matches. Be a good way to see who is better than the other.

Well all i need to say is i support this but, i hope it isn't just join in like call of duty. We should have "Quick match". A playlist where you can find faster games and join in progress games and leave whenever. Also there should be "Ranked match". Rank matched is for more competitive style gameplay. You can not find games that are already in progress and if you leave will suffer a huge exp penalty. I know this is just a small little topic. I just wanted to post my idea. If you guys want to add more detail onto this idea go ahead. Mainly what i made this topic for anyways, to discuss this. I could see Quickmatch having a exp reduction too but i don't know.

Completely false list. This is only your opinion. What matter is the top 15!
