Grieves

Its no problem. I know exactly what I need to do to 'fix' the issue, its just a matter of springing for it, and I happen to be a cheap *******. Appreciate the offer though.

I don't see the Master-Chief's face as being some sacred ground never to be tread, and all in all we only got an ugly pair of eyes, so its not like he's been forever redefined or anything. It was, however, a somewhat lackluster 'reward'. In most of the previous games, the Legendary endings were epic, -ESPECIALLY- the first. The Legendary ending in good old Halo took the cake by leaps and bounds, and considering this whole game plays like a revamp of the first, I was hoping they'd give us something more along those lines. 1.5 seconds of ugly eyeballs is a bit of a let-down compared to that priceless "Hold Me." He should have at least given Cortana some sugar or something.

It's not the xbox's problem, old as she is. Its a matter of my wireless router. Need to do a bit of fiddle-fugging around before I can get the two talking to one another, and didn't see any need to be online in order to play solo-campaign, so I didn't bother. I understand what happened, I just think its dumb as a bag of hammers that campaign accomplishments you've gotten done while offline cant be then communicated to your online profile. Makes no sense, as the game is clearly actively tracking both. It still states on my campaign page I've completed every mission on legendary, I've got the various X-box achievements for getting it done, so what in the world prevents my online profile from recognizing that when I do log in? Surely there's a lot, if not at least a fair few people out there playing Halo 4 who simply -cant- get on to x-box live yet/right now, for whatever reason. This means that when they do finally manage to get onto x-box live, they too will find their online profile doesn't recognize that they've gotten anything done in the campaign, unless they do it all over again. I'm of the humble opinion that that kind of sucks.

So I just finished Halo 4 on Legendary last night, solo. Woof, what a grind. All the 'Prometheans' or whatever you want to call them were a lot of fun, but covenant? Good God. Elites are ridiculous. Plasma-pistol = secretly hated best friend. In any event, after all that toil and strife I load up the x-box live today to play a bit of wargames (why no deathmatch? Seriously? No large-scale deathmatch? Regicide is sort of a deathmatch, but come on.), and check my campaign record to see that shiny 'Legendary' medal, letting folks know I went through all that BS should anyone ever bother to check. Except it wasn't there. In-fact, my record states I've only completed a single mission on legendary. Apparently because I didn't bother to go online while playing the rest of the solo campaign. Why in the sam-hell would it be essential to play the solo, single-player game while online in order for it to recognize when I go online that I've played the solo, single-player game?! Why no little warning when I started playing offline saying 'Hey, do this now, and it wont count!'? Boo, folks. Boo.
