My mistake. Apparently the terrorists grew 4 jaws and started glassing the entire planet. God bless Earth and the UNSC.

quickly, somebody parody :911: so that it's a spartan tearing up on a backdrop of a unsc logo.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37942497]You sounds like an innie, you an innie boy?[/QUOTE] Of course not! The UNSC has done nothing but good for humanity. It's not like our government ever kidnapped children to be used as soldiers. That would be crazy talk!

Damn it delta.

[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;37942561]Damn it delta.[/QUOTE] What? It's a joke.

fucking delta [editline]7th October 2012[/editline] you biTCH

[QUOTE=Delta616;37942567]What? It's a joke.[/QUOTE] You know we're not supposed to talk about that. ONI gets pissed when we do that. Remember last time? [editline]sadsa[/editline] I'm not doing another orphanage job because you couldn't keep your mouth shut. [I]Again[/I].

[QUOTE=Delta616;37942543]That's because they didn't. They kidnapped children to be used as super soldiers. Big difference.[/QUOTE] But big men in black suits came into my house and assured me that has never happened.

[QUOTE=AegisÂ°;37942581]But big men in black suits came into my house and assured me that has never happened.[/QUOTE] Exactly. The UNSC has not and never will kidnap children for use in ethically questionable experiments. Further more, the UNSC has no information on what caused 75 children to unexpectedly die. Our hearts go out the the their families in this difficult time.

i used to be an innie sympathizer but then i realized the unsc just wants to protect the children also nobody is watching me as i type there is no perimeter set up around my house by the unsc

Just curious, is EB Games (In-Store) still taking Halo 4 Limited Edition preorders? I am currently getting it from Best Buy (Online), but it might take a couple days to get here after release. If I could get it from EB Games (In-Store) I could get it on release day. So, are they?

I kinda feel cheap by having bought the LE. Unlocking all the specs right away and all. I feel like that'll make me feel like I'm not progressing...

New footage of Prometheans and Covies fighting together. [video=youtube;0FXHvRJ1So0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FXHvRJ1So0&feature=channel&list=UL[/video] I'm sorry I didn't put spolier tags. I am a shamfur dispray.

Well, I just got back from the EBExpo, and played a 10 minute multiplayer match of Halo 4, and here are my thoughts. The graphics look amazing, the HUD and menus are really sleek and it just looks gorgeous and surprisingly, quite colourful. That's all I really have to say about the graphics. The loadout system is a bit silly in my opinion. It's starting to steer more towards the Call of Duty side of things, you can have perks and shit that make you regenerate shields faster and allow you to have a primary weapon in the secondary slot. In my opinion, it's pretty stupid, but atleast they're doing something new with the series. In terms of actual gameplay, it feels a lot like Halo: Reach, you don't jump very high and there's fall damage, in my opinion that's a bit silly, but atleast you can change that in custom games. I do have to give them credit, though. The weapons do feel like they did in Halo 3 (Except for the Magnum and weapons from Reach, obviously) and it takes a bit more to kill someone than it does in Reach. This makes the weapons feel a little bit smoother, but definitely not as smooth as Halo 3. The new armour abilities are pretty good, the special alien vision thing (I forgot what it was called) is pretty cool, it runs out easily, but it's useful if you're a Sniper, I guess. I was trying to use the jetpack, and I noticed it ran out of fuel a whole lot faster than in Reach, which is a bit strange. I couldn't really fly very far. In my opinion, that's a good thing, because the Jetpack was overpowered, but take what you will of that. The shield is really good, though. It only covers your front and it doesn't last very long, and you can't use weapons while using it, so it balances out quite well, and it's great for quickly charging through a battlefield. Your back is exposed, though, so it's probably best to take some teammates with you. I played on a small, close-quarters map, so I can't tell you what the vehicles are like or anything, but what I know for sure is that I'm definitely getting it, the ten minutes that I played of it were really fun.

I miss vidocs. 343s done what, 2?

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;37940977]Wait a second, weren't there Charon-class frigates escorting [I]Infinity[/I] in the live action trailer for Halo 4? The one at E3?[/QUOTE] Yeah, and Halcyon class cruisers despite being scrapped.

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;37945270]Yeah, and Halcyon class cruisers despite being scrapped.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure those are Marathon Class Heavy Cruisers. [editline]7th October 2012[/editline] Anyone know the measurements of MAC cannons? It seems that the supermac's are barely 600mm depending on the depleted uranium/tungsten slugs.
