oddly just seen this after watching THFE's jurasic park map video, hell a dancing blue/purple dinosaur can't hurt (unless its barney of course)

Was this a scam ?

Yeah amazon delivered my LE copy a day late, so my game completion stamps on the achievements aren't what I'd have liked. As for the install issues, 343i have been upfront way before the games launch that it would require around 8gbs worth of HD or flashdrive space for multiplayer (hell if it speeds game loading and dvd disc usage down its a good thing). This could help I've heard from a few guys who installed pre-order bonuses or LE content before installing disc 2 had gotten problems. Delete all trace of HALO4 from your HD, and install disc 2 1st. Then go to your download history and you can re-download all the pre-order/le content again. PEACE OUT... I HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT AS ITS A WONDERFUL GAME

Just out of curiosity anyone have idea of how many custom weapon skins are in 4 ? I killed a guy earlier who had the arctic AR and managed to use it for a few kills was fun, are there any more preorder weapon skins or in game unlock ones. P.S. Would have been neat to get a gold sniper skin for sniper commendation mastery. Or some wild bright yellow skin for the Rocket launcher instead of the current grey drain pipe looking look.

a debate in the shoutbox got me here, I liked forgeworld, but things move on theres still great scope to create in the current maps just see whats already coming out (even before we've got fileshare)

Glad you released the video, it'll shut people up who are moaning you can't create race tracks or horse maps well in 4. haha I didn't watch the video thought it was just a repost of THFE's rollercoaster map they released a few days back. cant stop donut your commentary is heaps of fun, love your first impressions of halo 4 story... keep dirt biking and forging kid.

First off you need to be in the mood, I tend to only use the forge on days I've reached my XP limit or just totally drained of competitive play. I guess the more you play other forgers customs the more ideas you'll get for your own creations. Halo 4's requires you to kind of unlearn a little how you did things before. So its probably better that you got bored during halfway of Reach's time. Most guys are laying off the forge it seems until file sharing is brought back.

I voted YES but think I Certain Affinity handled 4's forge mode, so I guess it'll be on their shoulders to handle the flaws

Haha I wake in fear of being surrounded by endless kill balls

Its potentially better than ff, in my opinion Plus Points: As I see it we are going to get 50 chapters from the planned 1st 10 episodes of season 1, much more interesting than 6-7 FF maps. That we learnt the covenant spawns back to front it became bland. Cinematics are amazing, loving seeing Tom Lasky's and Sarah Palmer's characters unfolding weekly. RvB chapter 5 Easter Eggs are heaps of fun (I guess the one in episode 1 was broke) but it was so amusing in episode 2's. So hope we get them per episode. Flaws are: Co-op spartan ops no way should someone who kills 10 mobs then afk's should earn the same amount of xp as the guys who have just got 30+/50+ kills. Should really have a life count like 5/6 to complete the chapter, with unlimited lives if you run out of ammo its easier to just die and respawn than run to find some. Plus whats the point in getting a Victory, when its impossible not to get one with unlimited lives. Drastically needs halo announcer style points scoring for multikills and weapon sprees. Co-Op needs optional Legendary option. Single and customs need optional skulls to keep it challenging.

People need to get used to the sizes, no map in forge world ever used the entire area and was fun to play. THFE proved this week with the impact rollercoaster track you can create huge race courses (if thats what people want). Those guys have even created variants with flying/floating ghosts and wraiths. I'm slightly concerned with a few issues like file shares, missing gametypes and the dull offwhite wall textures, But people got around forges set backs in the past and I'm sure they will with this one. Pelican I'm sure will be included to mp & forge in a TU. One of the dlc packs looks like an UNSC aircraft hanger, I can't imagine that without pelicans.

I'm not really feeling this post, the vehicles draw out people which is good for large maps. Vehicles are no longer OP, and everyone can and should use a plasma pistol in secondary weapon slot for BTB games. Maybe a slightly longer delay in respawning wouldn't hurt, but the other demands seem redundant. You want fast paced action not some stroll around a huge map. Only time I'd remove the vehicles is for Team Snipers if the mode ever returns.

I'm a bit confused over what you actually mean ! The pass is only needed for the DLC map packs, First dlc map pack doesn't come out till December, then the next 3 maps are FEB 2013 final ones are APRIL 2013. If you've used the code you won't see anything other than 2 helmets it unlocked in Halo 4's armor menu. Been a little bit of confusion with the Wargames pass, people thought they needed to buy it to play Halo 4's multiplayer, all thats included on Disc 2 which needs to be installed.

I'm guessing he means Ravine, the first forge map revealed to the public. That has the pre-made forerunner structure.

Having spent upwards of a decade on irc and other forums in various guises, its about respecting everyone not just mods or a sites own internal rules. That really should come secondary to basic politeness, anyone who really thinks they're superior to anyone else as got issues. 1st rule online (and in life in general) should be to treat everyone as you'd expect to be treated yourself, otherwise you've nobody to blame for the outcome but yourself.
