  1. You need a capture card. Just go to google and type in "Capture Card" and that should show you which ones there are. I use a Roxio Game Capture.

    WHY !?!?

    Let's break down your post into nice, easy to read points.1. In Halo 4 you can't play with talent because there is a system with lvl (SR-1,SR-50), weapons are not available at first, we must unlock, like killstreak in Call Of Duty ! 2. Promethean View, you can see ALL the map with ennemys 3. the helmets are ... ugly (not all) 4. There is the camp, the needler (over cheat), problem of connection and kill cam and when somedy quit the game, the host restart before all of us so he can kill everyone Okay, now the counterpoints. 1. The weapons that are unlockable are balanced against the weapons that you start with, and are nothing like the killstreaks in CoD. I'm not even sure how you came to that conclusion. 2. No, no you can't. Promethean Vision has a short range, and can only see through one wall at a time. It's basically there to check for corner campers. 3. True enough, but this is completely cosmetic and doesn't affect the gameplay whatsoever. 4. By this I think you mean that there are campers, the needler is overpowered, and there are connection issues. There have always been campers in Halo, the needler is now a power weapon (and in reality always has been), and connection issues are more than likely on your end. You should find ways to improve your connection. Basically, the points you listed do not justify saying that it is the same as Call of Duty. There are very few ways that H4 is similar to CoD. Let's list the ones I can think of off of the top of my head. 1. Ordinance drops are like killstreaks. 2. There are customizable loadouts. 3. There is a controller scheme that has the same buttons as CoD (nearly). 4. They both have progression systems. Now for why this shouldn't bother you. 1. Ordinance drops are not customizable (unlike killstreaks). 2. The loadouts are only customizable with weapons that are balanced against each other (unlike CoD) and are only to cater to those with different play-styles. 3. The controller scheme is for those who play CoD and are new to Halo, similar to how CoD has a controller scheme for those who play Halo who are new to CoD. 4. The Halo 4 progression system does not unlock power weapons, and isn't "resetable". Also, this is a duplicate thread (there are plenty of "Halo 4 is CoD" threads floating around, we don't need another), so I'm afraid I have to lock it.
  3. Suuuure. "Moving". Pure coincidence that it just so happens to be the day before H4 comes out. ;D lmao But seriously, hope your move is awesome and as less stress as it can be! And hope to see you back soon. Don't worry, I got this. lol
  4. Pretty much, and you are right about it being a duplicate topic. Since you've answered your own question (and to prevent the inevitable flood of replies saying things like, "343i sux we wunt h3 stile r@nkin sestum!"), I am sorry but I have to lock this thread.
  5. In my opinion, the only time a weapon is overpowered is when it has to be unlocked to use it. If a higher rank gets a better weapon, that automatically makes it harder for people who've just started to reach that rank. Thankfully, this isn't quite the case in Halo (except maybe with the Light Rifle). All power weapons spawn in-game so that everyone can get them, rather than being a part of a players loadout. In previous Halo games, there was the argument that one team spawned closer to the power weapons than the other, so this gave that team an advantage (on asymmetrical maps), however in Halo 4 they've made the power weapon spawns random so now it's luck of the draw. Weapons can only be overpowered if they make the wielder invincible for the entire game, in my opinion. That would be something like a long range shotgun that has a massive amount of ammo and an aoe insta-kill on contact. In Halo, all weapons that people have called "OP" have had at least one drawback that meant in the hands of someone who had no experience and wasn't any sort of skilled, it would be pretty much useless. Here's a short list of some weapons that have been considered OP by the Q.Qry baby players over the years that have resulted in some very annoying nerfs, as well as why they were considered OP and the drawbacks that made sure they weren't actually OP. 1. The Halo CE Magnum: Three shot kill weapon, if you got the headshot all three times. Only has a 2x zoom, and a small clip. 2. The Halo 2 Rocket Launcher: Could lock onto any vehicle. Only has 2x zoom and can only lock on within range. Only has 2 shots per clip. Can kill it's wielder if not used correctly. Slow moving projectiles make it easy to dodge/bail out of a locked on vehicle. 3. The Halo 2-3 Sniper Rifle: One shot/two shot kill, can be fired rapidly. Very small reticle makes aiming more difficult than other precision weapons, and is only good in CQC if the player is skilled with it. Can kill it's operator with ricochet shots, and only has 4 shots per clip. 4. The Energy Sword: One melee kill. Has a moderate amount of ammo, but can be effectively countered using a shotgun. Makes the user vulnerable to team-shooting. Can also kill the user if they lunge and a ledge clips their legs. 5. The H2 Needler: Dual wielding, projectile tracking, and the super combine. Needler ammo is difficult to come by on some maps, and the projectile tracking is only about as much as an overcharged plasma pistol. Is also useless in long range combat. Can ricochet and kill it's user. Here are the nerfs for the aforementioned weapons. 1. Damage extremely reduced, 2x zoom taken out, then put back in. 2. Ground vehicle lock-on removed, rocket drop added, projectile slowed, AOE reduced. 3. Fire rate reduced (by a lot). 4. Sword block added in, made rarer to find, armor lock makes this weapon very ineffective as well. 5. Dual wielding removed, damage reduced (amount of needles required for a super-combine kill increased), damage increased, range reduced, ammo reduced, difficulty in acquiring ammo increased, projectile tracking reduced. Fact of the matter is that weapons are meant to kill people. When they are nerfed, they slow down the pace of the game.
  6. Clans were done away with after Halo 2, mainly because it caused "ubercompetitiveness", and resulted in a lot of hate in the Halo Community. Or it could be that it was rendered obsolete by the way the new X-Box Live was set up. Who knows. Point is, it was cut from the games for some reason, but there's nothing stopping players from using in-game items (i.e. emblems and callsigns) to identify the members of their clan.
  7. You forgot me, who got to Noble off of pretty much just Swat in Reach.
  8. There is only two ways that the auto-ban system would have nabbed you. 1. You tried to play online matchmaking without proper permissions (which anyone could have told you to play offline) 2. You got your copy of Halo 4 from a torrent and played it on a modified console. Either way, while I do sympathize with you, it is your fault. And the only way to fix it, like I said before, is to call the same number that you called before and talk to them about it. If M$ bans you, only M$ can unban you. If it was a mistake on their end, they will unban you. I suggest you have your proof of purchase ready as well.
  9. You need to contact Microsoft with the same number that you called and talk to them. No one else can help you in this situation I'm afraid.
  10. Orly? And then after you supposedly "corrected yourself" Nice try though.
  11. I was pointing out that 343 said only one actual remake, which makes your entire argument sort of invalid.
  12. The first Playtime With Albert! :D

      Simmons

      Can i be in a PWA?

  13. Only one direct remake. The other ones are variations, if that. Meaning they are so unlike the original maps that calling them a remake wouldn't make sense.
  14. Things like this is why I love being in the Halo Community.
  15. Guys... Halo 3 doesn't have dedicated servers... So H3 going down would mean Reach would go down, and so would H4...
  16. Rewards given to those listed! Choot, lemme know if this updates via PM please. (also put the later entries somewhere else lol so that way I know who has and doesn't have the award)
  17. They are people who have issues they have trouble coping with in their lives, who find gaining entertainment out of other people's anger to be a good coping mechanism. Pretty much it. I would think vampire. Vampire or Batman. No probz.
  18. Okay, got the NEI tutorial up, it's in a playlist too! :D Yayz!

      Good Job!!!!

  19. Wow. 12 hours to finally upload a 7 minute video, all because youtube's being weird. :/ Oh well, now I know how to force upload it. (:

      Best way to get youtube to take your video: Rope, turkey baster, rubber gloves, baby oil and a dim lit room.

      "You're taking this video whether you like it or not!"

  20. Lol you won't find too many violations to report here. We moderators are constantly scrubbing the forum with our banbrushes to make sure that it's not icky. And if you do see something we've missed, we do not mind if you let us know. lol Anyways, welcome to the friendliest corner of the Haloverse. I hope you enjoy your stay here, and make plenty of new friends. If you have any questions about the site, please feel free to PM myself or any other moderator.
  21. Did you know that there is a Halo board game?
  22. I'm not going to get into an anti/pro-military argument with you. The fact of the matter is, if Romney becomes president, then the only people that will benefit are those that are in the military (MAYBE), and the rich. Everyone else will suffer. I'm registered as a Republican, and I love my country, but I'll be DAMNED before I let an airhead like Romney into office. He might boost the military budget, but the fact of the matter is he's going to get more of our soldiers killed, and I'm NOT okay with that. I would rather have died in Afghanistan than watch a Bush clone tear this country apart even more than it has been. Oh, and I just realized this was directed at me. Perhaps a little back-story may shed some light on the situation.I had (still have, currently taking antibiotics for it) cellulitis. Normally, the way to treat cellulitis is by prescription antibiotics and cutting it out (as you probably know). However, I was not able to seek medical attention until it had hit my bloodstream. At that stage, the only treatment is a whole LOT of medicine. The only "medical attention" they can provide is to fill out a prescription and give you some advice. So the visit is free (or at least only 30 dollars), but the treatment is not. The only hospital nearby doesn't have it's own pharmacy, so I have to get my prescriptions from Walgreens or Wal-Mart. Which aren't under the hippocratic oath.
  23. If you are new to tekkit (or interested in what it is) then here :)

  24. Same reason anyone loves a video game. Because it's entertaining. Whether you like the story, the multiplayer, the gameplay, or even just the look of it, as long as it entertains you, you'll love it. Well, if we look at evolution as a factor, then more than likely they would have four legs and two or more arms. On the other hand though, it could be that humans having two legs is what caused our brain to grow to the point of sentience. It is far more difficult to walk on two legs than it is to walk on four. My suggestion would be to see if you could buy some textbooks relating to what you are interested off of the internet, sites such as ebay or amazon. Or, you could try asking your local college if they would mind you buying some books from them.
