I agree...plus it will help when seeing if someone is modding or cheating...so you dont have to go back to the theater and see it that way. You can see it then and there lol.

yeah i didnt see a picture either...probably cuz it just loaded lol...eiher way still cool

I love getting all of the cheevos for halo games...only missing 2 for Halo 3, 3 for Halo Reach (limited the playlists ...), missing a few for ODST and CE Anni. Havent gotten all for Wars either lol...I love getting them but suck at some lol. Hopefully there wont be achievements for every season of Spartan Ops...or I will have to buy every season lol

The new Gamestop Pre-Order bonus wave 2 are out!! Choices are between a Haven Multiplare theme or a Yellow Warrior Avatar...I went with the theme

Killcams may not even be in team snipers...it is only in certain gametypes...and if youre sniping in a regualr slayer game, people know where youre friring from or can figure it out pretty quick...so adding a killcam to that wont change much

@The Director: It was announced on saturday that the Mantis will indeed be in Halo 4 campaign. Also I though that it had a mini-gun and rocket pods, not a rail gun?

Again there is the MK VI from Halo 3, and the new MK VI that Chief wears in Halo 4. The MK V and MK IV were confirmed by BS Aangel at Halo Waypoint to NOT be in Halo 4. Again, the full list of armor was shown at PAX, the final build of armor, skins, menus etc. You played the Gold build, it is the latest and final war games and spartan ops build of Halo 4.

it was confirmed at the Halo 4 Expo in Europe that you CAN NOT de-rank now in Halo 4. Yes there is a 1-50 system, it does not go up or down from wins/losses...essentially it is more like the Halo Reach system, you do well and win you get much more xp than if you do ok and lose. Also depending upon your performance you unlock Spartan Points to use to buy weapons and packages to be used in your loadouts. Armor skins, wepaon skins, and armor are unlocked as you level through 1-50 and do not require purchase with the SP's.

The new scattershot does indeed look pretty cool...not as useful as I thought it would be though when I used it at SDCC...it only had range because of its ability to bounce off surfaces. On more open maps, and even in larger hallways it wasnt as effective as the Human shotty which had both decent range and power, similar to the un-nerfed version in Reach. So far my fave weapon is a tie between the Covie Carbine with a high RoF, good range and accuracy, and the Covie Beam Rifle, easier to get headshots with than the Human sniper and has a good RoF as well. The Promethean weapons were cool, and the Light Rifle is right up there with the Carbine, but it felt nice to use good Covie weapons again. The Human weapons were all kinda lame. The Human shotty and AR were really the only good guns. The DMR was not useful in mid range due to its bloom/spread and the BR had too much spread. But that was the SDCC build so I am sure it has all changed with the new Gold Build

Just fyi unless you have an xbox from that region you can not play Halo 4 from NZ on a North American Xbox...

Very cool man!! Im glad you got to play the Gold Version of Halo 4...the version I played was the SDCC version. Also the full armor list was revealed at PAX and the MK V was confirmed by BS Angel to NOT be in Halo 4. What maps were you able to play? Cant wait to see the video when you post it man

I will make a sidewinder remake if there is a sweet open snow forge world. I will also make a sweet water slayer map lol

haha playing the Halo theme doesnt really support the claim that band nerds arent really nerds lol...awesome though...pure awesome

I prefer the solo controller to the ones in the Console Bundle...the solo controller has a much cooler design in my opinion

Yah...I had $200 gamestop credit so I used it on the LE and 2 controllers...with like 20 bucks of my own cash lol...not too bad if I do say so myself lol

I agree...unless you really need a new Xbox...the Halo 4 console is a rip off...especially since they said an expected 2014 release of the new Xbox

The Human one was cool...but familiar, the Promethean one was cool for the new weapons, but the Covie one was my fave just because it really confirmed the old school Covie weapons that we all loved and missed from Reach (Carbine, Beam Rifle, and true Needler)

Default wasnt bad at all at SDCC...I actually liked it...it flowed well once you got used to it

Yeah the skins are usable on pretty much any armor now. If you watch some of the new GOLD Builds of Halo 4 you will see that there is forest armor skin on other armors than the Hazop. The armor skins are said to be able to change colors in their pre-order descriptions. I do not know if the weapon skins can change colors though. Also remember Ryu, in your armor post in another section there were others that brought up referances of armor skins being on other armors.

DLC like that will be on the marketplace for a while. The Reach DLC is still on marketplace and so too is the DLC from GoW 3 that provides armor skins etc. I wouldnt worry man, you will have plenty of time to get the cool skins and armors

Yeah I am glad Gamestop is giving more options as pre-order bonuses. When it was first announced there would only be one (Forest Armor Skin) it was kind of lame

Armor skins are useable on any armor...the armor skin colors can also be changed to fit your unique style. The armor skins in the pre-order pictures are just shown on those particular armor sets as an example.

Meh I dont think there are any Pre-Order bonuses we as the community dont know about...I think this is all just to give thosewho pre-ordered from Gamestop more bonuses.

I have a feeling it will be announced post launch...especially seeing as BS Angel also said that the Strider, Scanner and Falcon Emblem from the War Games Map Pass will be available post launch as well...perhaps they will include them all into one DLC pack....

Woot...Forest Skin and Arctic BR skin for sure!! I have a feling the next wave will be between the two helmet skins (bullseye and locus) or at least I hope so lol
