[QUOTE=certified;37265003]Erm... 8 years in Halo 4 =/= 4 years in Halo 3 According to the Halo 4 E3 trailer Cortana was commissioned 8 years ago at the time of Halo 4.[/QUOTE] this she will be 8 years old in halo 4 and she was only supposed to be active for 7 years meaning shes going rampant in halo 4 as you can see in some of the trailers edit: she began service on November 7, 2549 and halo 4 starts around July 20th, 2557 also halo 3 started around November 17th, 2552 meaning she was 3 years old
[QUOTE=breenkiller;37270176]this she will be 8 years old in halo 4 and she was only supposed to be active for 7 years[/QUOTE] ftfy
[QUOTE=No Party Hats;37270266]ftfy[/QUOTE] no you didnt wait misread you did

[QUOTE=certified;37270652]Which means she should have been in able condition to close those damned cargo doors at the end of Halo 3.[/QUOTE] yeah so either they were broken or for some reason she didnt think to do it
or cause it's a game and it looked cool
that to XD
[QUOTE=certified;37270652]Which means she should have been in able condition to close those damned cargo doors at the end of Halo 3.[/QUOTE] It all comes down to this, its a cutscene, the end one to be specific, it has to be over dramatized like some hollywood action movie, and it wouldnt be if Chief just got on board and floated off into space. Going deep into Cortanas psyche to find out why she didnt close a door is just silly.
Fuck it. I cave. I'm buying the limited edition the moment I get home from vacation... Sorry wallet.
[QUOTE=Skyward;37274656] Sorry wallet.[/QUOTE] Don't be, you're saving money in the long run.
[QUOTE=Delta616;37275020]Don't be, you're saving money in the long run.[/QUOTE] Unless you buy a DLC season pass which is $25, which would total a normal edition + DLC season pass to $85, compared to LE being $100. [editline]16th August 2012[/editline] LE will save you [U]time[/U] more than it will money due to the way it handles specializations.

[QUOTE=Delta616;37275636]You're forgetting Forward Unto Dawn extended cut.[/QUOTE] True, but for people who only care about ingame content, the Limited Edition isn't worth it. Quite frankly, after Reach's DLC handling, I might not even be buying any Halo 4 DLC maps.
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;37275724]Quite frankly, after Reach's DLC handling, I might not even be buying any Halo 4 DLC maps.[/QUOTE] 343 learned from their reach DLC handling mistakes. You'll see.
Ok, did 343 just lock the art team in a room and force them to watch anime for 6 months? Some of the armors are pretty damn sweet, and then there's others and its just like, [I]awful [/I]. I do like that a lot of the armors have lost the massive gold visor though. That never did make sense to me, all ways seemed like it would be a massive 'shoot here' sign.
I have to disagree to be honest, with exception of EVA, i preferred helmets like ODST, Mark 5 and 6 because they actually looked like practical helmets that they could see out of.
Those are some of my favorites too, but why were most of the spartan visors gold? Of all the colors you could pick for a visor, they chose the one that would shine like a star the second it caught a glint of sunlight.
I love the helmet that that Spartan IVs wear in that campaign footage weve seen. Sort of looks like ODST.

I love the returning ones, and their new styles. But Some of them just don't say Halo to me. Doesn't change my opinion of the game in any way though.

[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;37276287]Ok, heres what I think you said: My point was that realistically, it could easily give away your position. Exactly.[/QUOTE] thats pretty much what i am saying about the old helmets and its only the gold that give away your spot
have elites ever been refereed to as sanghelli in the games?
Technically yes, at least through text iirc
They have?
Why does the new retconned Foward Unto Dawn look more like the front end of a ship than the rear? I just dont understand why they changed it, im ok with someone else taking over the series but why change something that shouldn't have changed over 4 years, whether they liked the look of the old one is irrelevant they cant just changed something like that, they explained Chiefs change through bullshit nanomachines like something that came right out of Metal Gear Solid, but im pretty sure Cortana cant reconfigure an entire ship. Its ok to add new things like redesigned guns as weve seen with the BR85 but completely changing something and trying to pull it off as the same ship is just insane.
Anyone know where I can find a good site that compiles all the known info on Halo 4 for easy perusal? I wanna get caught up to date, but I don't wanna spend ages hunting around for info.

looks like ass
I'm so glad the Halo MMO got trashed. The art style and the whole human magic thing would have been a travesty.
