The Limited Edition Titanfall Controllers for Xbox One have begun shipping runs. With the recent announcement of Titanfall being delayed on the Xbox 360, a bit of joyous news has hit the internet as a user on Reddit.com confirmed his order for a Limited Edition Titanfall Controller for Xbox One had begun shipping from the Microsoft Store. He said it would be arriving sometime during the week. The controller itself has received critical praise for it's aesthetic appearance and overall form, and it remains to be seen if it can top the standard Xbox One controller gameplay wise. Another gamer reported his credit card had been charged, a sure sign that the order has been confirmed and is now beginning the shipping process. Unboxing videos will be for sure floating around in the coming days for Microsoft's snazzy new Titanfall themed controller. Will you be ordering the controller alongside Titanfall, or just Titanfall or the Controller separately?

I understand your situation, not fully, as I am a male, but I've seen my fair share of jerks like this who like to make fun of people, honestly, attacking them back makes you just as guilty. My advice is ignore them, or simply ask them to stop, usually, harassers will stop if you ask them to, kindly I might add. There are the small percentage who won't, and they are the scum of the internet, so simply ignore them. I'm not saying ditch online all together, try to find people online who are kind and respectful, and add those people, when you have enough, play with them. Trust me when I say, 75% of guys aren't like this online usually, and 99.9% of the guys on this forum are as respectful to girls as they are to other guys, I saw like one incident once so that's the .1%. Anyways, just ignore the pestering jerks, or seek help from a friend. Added note: Don't proclaim you are a girl like said above, it's fine to speak, but don't say stuff like, "Oh, you just killed a girl are you happy?" THAT is a trigger for guys to begin annoying you, just play like normal, and there's less of a chance of something like this happening.

I admit it...

I like you, I like you a lot. You hate the demon bread Bnus, so I automatically like you. Welcome to the forums Buddy!

Bluepoint Games has been given two extra weeks to work on the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall. With Titanfall receiving such critical acclaim and being nearly a month away from launch, fans will be saddened to hear that the Xbox 360 version of the game has been delayed. This was recently announced at Ea.com by EA's Vice President. The original release dates, March 11th in North America and March 13th in Europe, have been pushed about two weeks back for the current generation version, with a March 25th launch in North America and a March 28th launch in Europe. This push does not affect the Xbox One and PC versions of Titanfall. View attachment: titanfall-gamescom.jpg When asked, Electronic Arts' own vice president Patrick Söderlund gave defense for the push back, saying: "To give them the time they need to put the finishing touches on the current-gen version of the game, we are moving the Xbox 360 ship date to March 25 in North America and March 28 in Europe. The extra two weeks will ensure the full world of Xbox gamers has an awesome experience." With these steps, the game may not launch in as bad of a state as the previous EA title, Battlefield 4, but has this decision made you want to switch your pre-order to a next gen copy?

Well, it's a top down shooter based off Halo, my guess is its okay. From the reviews I've seen it's mediocre, if you liked Halo Wars, this isn't remotely halo wars... It's a shooter made to entice HW fans, but really, it's the same formula as most halos before it. For 15 dollars plus microtransactions, wait until its a bit less.

The System Requirements and Origin limitations for Titanfall have been revealed. Titanfall, being developed by Electronic Arts, is no surprise similar to past EA titles in it's restrictions and specs. Starting off, when asked about it during a fan tweet on Twitter.com, Vince Zampella, Respawn Boss, revealed that Origin is required to play Titanfall on Computers. This is likely to cause some annoyance as most PC users run on Steam, a system of game purchasing made by Valve, which has received mostly positive reviews compared to the mixed to negative reviews of EA's system, Origin. To add fuel to the fire, a previous EA Published Title, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning did not require Origin to play. Another piece of news for the PC version of Titanfall, the system requirements have been revealed, and have received positive feedback. People praise the low RAM requirements, but have given negative comments relating to the required 64bit version of Windows. The full list of requirements is also at Vince Zampella's feed at Twitter.com where he originally posted this info. Are you boycotting buying Titanfall all together after this announcement?

I have to go with Garry's Mod since Bnus gave me a free copy for it so I can play with you guys. Thanks again Bnus! But yes, GMod, or TF2, which I have neeeeeeeeever played. Ought to be fun.

So, today, I want to ask you forumians, green, purple, grey, all of your colours, who do you think you should vote for? Ill suggest it to you, because, telling you is something dictators like BeckoningZebra1 do. First of all, who is the current Member of the Month, a symbol of responsibility, maturity, and at the same time, comradery? That's right. Now, who starred in a violent movie infecting your children with sword swinging and shooting and flipping in the air doing crazy things? That's right BeckoningZebra1 did. And who acts like a kind, nurturing father around the forums? Now, who let his own father-like figure be killed? I ask you this, and do not say "Vote for me", rather, I say... Look at the facts. Now, if you choose not to vote for me, be sure to vote for Vitamin PWN if you want a humble and great leader. He will always be by your side, which is why he is my Vice President, if I can not accept the position for some reason. And if I can, he will be working by my side. That was way too serious wasn't it? Well don't worry, I have humor too! Just look at this picture of me! So seeing all that, do you want an evil Dictator or a friend? Message brought to you by the Edward Kenway Foundation: The Edward Kenway Foundation, where else ya gonna go?

Gamestop is offering a sweet deal for those looking to buy an Xbox One. With the Xbox One sales slightly lagging, GameStop has offered a discount to sweeten the deal and get the Xbox Ones off the shelves into people's hands. If you purchase an Xbox One Controller at GameStop with an Xbox One console or bundle, the controller's price is cut by $10. The offer is valid between February 1st and February 28th, so the deal is limited. It should be noted that the offer currently does not work with the Titanfall Limited Edition controller, and is only available for the standard Xbox One controller. It seems GameStop is doing whatever they can to sell any spare Xbox Ones, has this offer convinced you to buy one? Source: GameStop.com

Im sorry, you accuse ME of cling-clang-clang-whssh'ing when your trailer is ONLY comprised of you fighting an innocent Jedi Knight? I smell a rotten political liar here. Do you really trust a man who carries a weapon with him EVERYWHERE he goes? Of course not. Note: BZ1 is awesome, this is hilarious political banter meant to in no way, shape, or forum (tehe) ruin our friendship, it's for fun.

So recently a slue of rumors and hints at a Halo 2 Anniversary have flown at us, here, I analyze these and tally up what's true and what's false to see if Halo 2 Anniversary might really be on it's way! Beginning, we look at the rumor that started it all. The rumor itself came from Neogaf from a very respected user who has been correct before. Here, he states that Halo 2 Anniversary will be on it's way for a November 2014 release, with Halo 5 coming a year later. This seems respectably accurate, it would be the tenth anniversary, and would follow the same release pattern as past 343i Titles. It would fit the time frame like Halo 4 and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary did, as Anniversary came out in 2011 (It's own ten year anniversary) and Halo 4 followed a year later. So this does seem to be in order for the most part. While the times would seem to be correct, they're just times. This is a rumor from Neogaf after all, just because the user has been right before doesn't mean they are right now. While we can't say for sure if this is a confirmed true or false yet, it is extremely plausible and does assist other similar rumors with their own theories. Next, we have the Microsoft team's reactions. Now, remember the disc-less Xbox One rumor, actually from the same user as above, and how Microsoft immediately put those rumors to rest with a simple "No"? Well, if the above rumor were false, why wouldn't they do the same? As evidenced, the company has no problem denying leaks and rumors like the disc-less Xbox One, so why not do the same for Halo 2 Anniversary if it is false? It makes no sense, unless the rumors are in fact, true, or the idea is being shot around at 343i and Microsoft Studios, which it obviously is. There's no way something this fan requested hasn't been brought up at their respective headquarters', not to mention be in the development stage already. So if Microsoft is once again pulling up their "No Comment" card for this leak, could it mean that the rumor was true and Halo 2 Anniversary is in the works? Until something official, we have no 100% sure answer. This has to be one of the most controversial hints at the title, Major Nelson's reference to I Love Bees, if you remember the Halo 2 ARG back during 2004, I Love Bees, you remember it was a huge hit with Halo's already massive cult following. Now with an even larger fan-base, it's not easy to doubt that this idea hasn't been brought around to be redone. Titanfall did something similar with it's websites encoded in Binary during a modded commercial, same with Halo 2 during 2004, when a trailer was modified to show the I Love Bees' website at the bottom briefly. Major Nelson did in fact reference his love for bees in a twitter post, complimenting them on their "organization" with other smaller details, this has to be a clear I Love Bees reference, unless Larry Hyrb has some weird liking for Bees we don't know about. The fanbase for this idea is beyond belief, and Microsoft knows that, so, why wouldn't they jump on a chance like this? Now, this is going to probably sadden a lot of people, but the recent Pre-Order bonus listing is likely fake, I mean, the box art is ripped straight from DeviantART. Microsoft themselves did comment on this though, with: "Other than confirming that your Halo journey on Xbox One begins in 2014, we have made no announcements related to specific titles," Could this once again be Microsoft once again waving the key in our faces but not telling us what's in the box? We know that we will receive a Halo in November, and stacking up the anniversary of Halo 2, with a loving fanbase, and so much business in this offer, there is no doubt in my mind that we should expect a Halo 2 Anniversary this November.

Hate to say it, this is fake. At least the box-art is. I did a little DeviantART search and came up with the exact same image from a DeviantART user, some time before this was posted. Honestly, it's a game that hasn't been officially announced yet, don't get too excited at every small leak, when it is time, 343i will bestow upon us a glorified crate of info and goodies. Until then, we must sit quiet and watchful. That was way too poetic, point is, I smell a fake with this article. DeviantART Post

The popular Games for Gold program may be extending to the Xbox One soon. It was originally announced in November that Games for Gold -a rewards service attached to Gold memberships- would be releasing on the Xbox One eventually, though, a specific date was not highlighted. It seems we don't have a long way's wait for the rewards program on the Next Generation as in a response to a fan's comment, Phil Spencer stated that the details and questions about the system's launch on Xbox One would be answered soon, the Microsoft Exec. had this to say: "Answer to this will be coming fairly soon." What fairly soon could mean for the system is unknown, but it's not likely to happen near this week, or even month, as Phil Spencer commented to a fan. There had been enough "News" for the time being. One thing is for certain though, this inclusion in the future has people digging for dates and details in the small patch of news we have received on this. What games do you hope are included in the Xbox One's first Games for Gold? Source: Twitter.com

Hello everyone, and I'd like to take this opportunity to fill you in on the February 2014 Member of the Month Playdate I will be hosting. We will be hosting an array of events such as challenges and having simple fun on Halo 4 during my MoM playdate. If you wish to attend, please list your Gamertag below and a confirmation that you will be showing up! I know this seems a bit unorthodox for a MoM to do, but I wanted to change it up since I was Member of the Month this time around. We will be playing Saturday February 8th, around 8:00pm EST, though some will likely be on at an earlier or later time. The simple requirements are the Halo 4 disc and Forge Island, which is a free download, so go ahead and purchase it. If someone who has a capture device could equip it for the playdate, I'd be incredibly happy as we could record all our funny moments and simply awesome shots for out thumbnail in the recap. I absolutely cannot wait for Saturday to play with you all, see you then! Image by the awesome Vitamin PWN!

Gravity Hammer, honestly, who doesn't love a huge silver spiky stick that destroys things? It is simply one of the best weapons in video game history, hell, it's a staple for Video Game Weapons just as the AR and Energy Sword are!

Well, I'm sticking with my candidate, and once again, GOOOOOOOOO YOSHI!

Even as a person who doesn't follow this much, the Broncos better win, and Peyton better be MVP. I also heard some rumors they talked trash about New York, which is my state, so, just another reason to say "Go Broncos!"

Sonic fans are revved up with the leaked photo of a 2015 Sonic Game for the Next Gen. According to Polygon.com, a new Sonic is underway for the Next Generation of Consoles. The photographer, who took the original photo and uploaded it as well as other info in a foreign language at Spindash.com, took a trip to the recent Nuremberg International Toy Fair, he took the snapshot of a small sign listing upcoming Sonic related media. Amidst these, one can notice three games, the first two, Sonic: Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, both released last year. Below them is an eye catching title that lists a "new 2014 title TBA". This title lists itself as being available on the Xbox One, Wii U, and PS4. What is more incriminating was the recent exclusivity of Sonic titles on Wii products thanks to an agreement between Sega and Nintendo. According to the agreement, three exclusives are to be made for the game on the Wii U, with two already having released, the third, still unknown to us. Do you believe Sonic would serve better as a Nintendo exclusive?

Location 2 in my opinion seems the best stylized for what the Forums really are, the Staff perched on one side watching over the masses, sometimes crossing over to lay down the law, and the members, not aware of what's going on on Island 2, as they are prohibited to leave their own island until they advance.

Yes this is a day earlier then expected and no, this will probably not be weekly consecutively. This series will likely run at random dates at the current moment, I want to do it as often as possible, so, possibly 1-3 times a week, 3 at best, 1 at worst. Today we're getting the reaction of a now famous purple dragon who's always a fun and cheery guy around the forums, and in his popular creation, the United States of the Forum Presidential Election! I give you Spyro! EK: Do you think there's still hope for the Gears franchise after the bombing of Gears of War: Judgment, the series' latest installment? SP: I think there will always be hope for a series as successful as Gears of War. It will have its ups, and it's downs, like all successful series, Call of Duty, Halo, and Battlefield all included. So it may take some time, but it will recover, and it will be better than ever. EK: Have you ever played a Gears of War title on the Xbox 360? If so, what do you think of the franchise in it's current state and from different developers, Epic Games? SP:Yes, I have actually. The first three in fact. Honestly, I'm saddened by the state. It was so much fun playing through the campaigns with my friends, sawing enemies in half with the lancer one after the other. I haven't gotten to play Judgement myself, so I can't speak on that other than that I've heard awful things about it, which makes me wonder what happened exactly. Honestly though, I have no opinion on Epic Games. EK: If another studio could develop the series, who do you think would be the right pick to do the job? SP: I'm not sure to be honest, I guess it would be interesting to see it be done by Naughty Dog. Why? I don't know, I just think it would be. (image by Kalgram on DeviantART) EK: Seeing Black Tusk's recent game project trailer do you think they're fit for the job? SP: I'd rather not base my opinion off of a trailer. I haven't seen or experienced anything that they've made. I think that this will be the same for when Halo was changed from Bungie to 343industries. There will be haters, and there will be people who vouch for them no matter what, but we won't know what we're going to get until it's finished. So for now I have no idea whether or not they're up to it or deserve it, I can only hope that they'll take care of a series that I deeply love. EK: Do you think the exclusion of titles on a single platform and their now annual launches are becoming a problem for developers and causing games to release in glitched states or incomplete states such as the one Battlefield 4 was in? SP: Yes, I think that early release and console exclusives are a problem. I don't think it's fair to keep games for a single console just to force a gamer to buy that exact console, and I think it's completely unfair to the consumer when a dev. releases a game that they promise to be amazing entirely too early and is more glitchy than Missingno. I personally feel that devs should actually finish the game before releasing it, regardless of how long it will take. I'd rather wait an extra two months and have a good game instead of having a game sooner that will be all but unplayable for several more months as they work on individual updates. Wise words from Spyro the Dragon, thanks for taking the interview Spyro! tune in next time for another Reactions With the Stars of the Community!

Ah I love these wrap-ups, always brighten my day up to see all the highlights of the past month. Especially under Drizzy, these things are amazing! Man, an entertaining read. You know... The conspiracy was pretty insane anyways guys, there's no way it could be possible. C'mon, our staff would never do anything behind our backs, don't you trust me?
