skummgummigubbe Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 i just watched a live commentary with Frank O'connor that he said that those who votes for the election in US will get something on halo to show the others that they voted but that's unfair to the rest of the world that can't vote so i hope there will be an compensation for us link to the video jump to 17.00 to hear Frank say it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hztcy8xmTh0 i made this topic 3 times now (and it got even more worse in quality every time ) i made the same mistake 2 times that i accidentally refreshed the page 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaxx Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Very interesting, the two disk idea was fantastic. To install the multiplayer then playing it on one disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdude1635 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 There's no way they can prove whether or not someone voted, so this entire idea is flawed before it is even put into action.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skummgummigubbe Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 of course they can if they include the GT in the voting system they can like Name:__________ GT:____________ Oher:___________ Person 1......Person 2 .....[X]...............[ ] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewin3 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yes, I guess you could say it is unfair, but personally I don't really see the big deal. People who voted will presumably simply get some sort of sign / emblem / helmet that screams "I voted!". Of course it depends on what exclusive stuff they will get, but it doesn't bother me.

Do I have one of those? What do I do here?", it wouldn't work. Working with a non-partisan group in theory is great, but how are they going to verify if somebody voted? Hm.

skummgummigubbe Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 i think i get how the voters will get there halo 4 stuff If you use your Xbox to watch three of the four debates, Halo 4 will reward your civic zeal with shiny “warrior armor”—so you can eviscerate aliens, patriotically. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/10/10/david-fincher-and-conan-o-brien-halo-4-s-secret-weapons.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdude1635 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 No, regardless of ways to verify whether they voted, it's still wrong. 90% of the world is UNABLE to get ANY of bonuses, whilst with the LE bonuses, EVERYONE has a chance at getting them. This is unfairntonevery non-american citizen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikslik7 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I believe he is referencing the watch 3 of 4 debates through Xbox live news thing if you live in the US, where you get the avatar award. Maybe you also get something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinreaper Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 So is pre-orders locked to region Killerdude, but you don't see me throw a hissy fit about it. We older Americans, (Yes, 343i and Microsoft are American Companies mind you), spend good time watching debates, reading on contenders, etc.... As an older American registered to vote, I see no issue with allowing Americans who vote, to recieve a special emblem or goodie for doing so. There is a lot more going on in the world that should piss you off, but you guys choose "I voted" goodies as the straw that breaks the camel's back?!? And to answer how they will do this, I can only assume that if you are "Registered" to vote, that the Gamertag associated to the player with the valid legal age and SS# will be checked and determine whether you get the goody. As you all know, they have that info tied into your GT and accounts....for security purposes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdude1635 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Regional preorders are different, mind you, everyone is gonna be able to get them in the preorder pack after the games release, OR they get the bonus available in their region, either way everyone can get something. People can also preorder from UK sites in the US to get UK bonuses,(same with other regions) as many of us have already done. With this voting bonus, ONLY, mind you, ONLY American citizens can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISTRAFED UP0NI Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Dude just accept it.. You sound young so you're forgiven for being ignorant. The USA will ALWAYS have everything better; quality, quantity. 343i is an American company, that is where their loyalty stands. The USA is the center of all of the worlds media; video games, movies, music, etc. It will always be like this, get use to it.

ΠΘVΛ Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 It's smart, all liberal governments are losing votes and to get people to do it and receive something in return is brilliant, but it's also ignorant. There are many people in the world equally supporting their country and the person/group they wish to support it. This wouldn't of been a problem if it didn't happen at all because everything would be equal, something Halo is famous for, equality. They may be a company based in the USA, but they sell world wide and the world does not end at the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuko 'Zarhamee Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 It's just a golden version of the default Halo 4 armor for your avatar. It's not anything special. Get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Talk Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Typical.. Ignorant Americans, thinking they're entitled the world.. You should'nt generalize people due to one person. As for the "bonus", really? All they will be getting, as someone already said, an "I voted" emblem or something. Nothing special if you ask me. People should be used to small bonuses depending on region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Talk Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I do not see the wrong in giving a bonus to people who vote. They could have done the same thing with any other election in any other country if they liked. I doubt it would bother many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debating about the impact of cultures on the world would require an overview of history rather than an overview of modern media, something that is best not going in to considering. As for the actual idea of a free gift for voting I quite applaud the idea. Many of the people who would be interested in the idea of item and can actually vote might not really care to. So why not offer a incentive so they actually get involved in the politics of their country? It's not like 343 are saying that if you don't vote in the US election then you can't buy Halo. I presume, as many have said, it will be similar to the icon in Reach, where if you played Halo 3 you can have a Halo 3 icon by your name. Nothing groundbreaking but a little incentive to encourage people to vote and get involved in the progress of their country. It is neither an insult to the rest of the world, going to detrimentally affect your ability to play or enjoy Halo 4 nor have any downplaying of my own or any one else custom if they have not from America.

I lived on the border for a majority of my life, many Americans who came over, we're not the greatest guests, infact a lot of them were straight up ******** about it. However, there were some who were very kind and very polite, they weren't rare, but they weren't common either. It's nothing personal, so don't take it personally.

ΠΘVΛ Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm not sure we would want to venture too far into this argument... I have cousins that were born American in Detroit and knowing the people of this forum I know there can be many very nice Americans. But in Canada from 7th grade onward, we are pretty much taught you guys are ignorant, and I do belive it, I have seen prime examples as to why I should ("The USA will ALWAYS have everything better; quality, quantity") but I know Canada has many flaws so many I could never count them out and although it's a stereo type that Canadians are nice, many of us can be very, very rude. I think we should forget this and work on the one place that truley matters here, the great land that is 343i CF. Also 343i is entitled to do what ever they want, and to support one's country is great. But for you guys saying that it is fair, would you still think the same if Ubisoft had something only Canadian's could obtain in AC3? (it also goes with the rest of the world, just I think it's a good example going with the Canadian, American thing going on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryphakon Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 During my stay in Florida years ago I was asked where I was from, I replied New Zealand. They then said "Isn't that part of Australia? Yeah I think it is, on the other side of the pacific. Don't they have those kangaroos and wombats? Do you own a koala as a pet?". I just didn't know hat to say, I hope I never see those blondes again. I know people from the US aren't all that bad but you generally have to shout everything into my face with that obnoxious accent I can't get over which annoys me greatly. The ozie's accent is annoying as well but I can ignore it because they don't shout. I find allot of the stereotypes are true but I have come across one or two that do not follow them. I do wish that corporations that are no longer local would stop favoring other countries, normally it is pointless things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
