[QUOTE=Jurikuer;37985489]Microsoft was working on HDDVD/Blu-ray equivalents for it's 360. It's possible Halo 4 will be the first to use it.[/QUOTE] I've been aware, every Xbox 360 game disc was actually ~5gb before the new format (introduced in mid-late 2011) [editline]10th October 2012[/editline] So Halo 4 is definitely not the first to use the new format, unless they created an [I]even newer[/I] format.
Also don't forget, the Xbox likes to use multiple discs for it's larger games. Campaign Disc, Multiplayer Disc, etc.
Looks like the official halo website is being upgraded. halo.xbox.com [editline]10th October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;37984977]They got to be kidding, 8GB for what? Saving a game? I'm kinda confused right now?[/QUOTE] You forget about Spartan Ops, AFAIK, they're all downloads. The 8GB is for Multiplayer from what i know, if you don't play MP don't need to install 8GB.
[QUOTE=Pandamox;37981351][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liDBB2ZKKKM[/media] i'd have to say for me that is one of the most memorable halo songs, and most memorable songs in any video game. no other song can simply play the first 2 seconds and instantly bring me back to exactly what i was doing the first time i heard it, dropping in from fucking space on the side of a cliff killing me some jackals. [editline]10th October 2012[/editline] IT GETS ME PUMPED JUST FUCKING LISTENING TO IT FUCK[/QUOTE] wow i totally forgot about this song but when i heard those first few notes i remembered fucking everything about it

This is kinda annoying since i'll proabably need to buy a larger HDD for my 360, money that i'd like to save for better things. Sure, Halo is awesome, but hell, i get tired of these kinds of things from the devs...

Honestly, what could you have on there that takes up all your space?

I have the HD texture pack, the MP disc, 2 to 3 title updates (which are somewhere between 3 and 4 gigs of space) all installed right now.
[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;37985946]Because 60GB is [I]minimum[/I] standard. Honestly, what could you have on there that takes up all your space?[/QUOTE] i got an xbox with like a 10gb harddrive or something and BF3 took up literally all of that. so i had to go get myself a 300gb one. I CAN INSTALL EVERYTHING NOW look at it this way, would they rather have extra discs which THEY pay for, or would they rather basically force you to buy a bigger hard drive by making lots of things downloadable / install. in the point of view of a business they're going to make more money by doing it this way
None of the forge maps are as big as Forge Word, but I don't mind, 3 medium maps are as good.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;37986431]None of the forge maps are as big as Forge Word, but I don't mind, 3 medium maps are as good.[/QUOTE] I would have liked at least one Forge World sized map. After Reach, I'm a bit spoiled!
Just noticed something. In the terminals in cea, 343gs says it would take 100 years for a round trip to the gas giant, that would mean to get there it would take 50 years. In between the end of halo 1 and halo 2, he had made the trip but it had not even been a month and he was using the same method of travel to get there that he mentioned. Not only that, but he had been at the gas giant long enough to start a heretic rebellion by the start of halo 2. Nice going 343.

[QUOTE=certified;37987408]I'm pretty sure he said that he would consider spending a hundred years at Threshold, not take a hundred years to get there and back.[/QUOTE] "hundred years of travel" I just checked both sources.
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;37987452]"hundred years of travel" I just checked both sources.[/QUOTE] Who said it was Earth years?
[QUOTE=certified;37987593]Who said it was Earth years?[/QUOTE] Well if he is indeed using English and said years. Then it probably is.
I'm certain its not Threshold Spark is talking about. Its right next to the ring, hell, the ring orbits it. I've always felt bad for Spark. That long alone, and in the terminals make it clear he's aware his mind is going.
Those terminals also mention that the other monitors have lost contact with him. I wonder what happened to them.
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;37987452]"hundred years of travel" I just checked both sources.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.halopedia.org/Terminal/Halo:_Combat_Evolved_Anniversary[/url] Can you tell us what terminal it's in so we can see the context?

[quote]343 Guilty Spark: "Perhaps a visit to the nearby gas giant would be in order. My impulse drives could certainly make the journey." [I]The camera quickly zooms into the nebulae, speeding past innumerable stars.[/I] 343 Guilty Spark: "A few hundred years of travel might do me some good." [/quote] I believe his second line is suppose to unrelated to his line about Threshold.
but threshold is the only visible gas giant, therefor nearby would refer to it.
Or, he could be saying he wants to travel for few hundred years, doesn't necessarily mean it will take him 100s of years.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;37988316]Or, he could be saying he wants to travel for few hundred years, doesn't necessarily mean it will take him 100s of years.[/QUOTE] That's overthinking, If that was what 343 was trying to imply, they should have stated so through spark.
Never noticed this until it was pointed out on Halopedia, but you can see the 'Ascendant Justice" in the 11th Terminal [img]http://www.halopedia.org/images/2/20/HaloAJ.png[/img]
It seems that people are going dark after some guy posted that someone from a Spanish forum got an early release of Halo 4 and posted some screens,
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;37988358]That's overthinking, If that was what 343 was trying to imply, they should have stated so through spark.[/QUOTE] He went to the nearby gas giant and said that a few hundred years of travel could do him some good. He didn't say it would take him a few hundred years to get there, just that he believes it to be in his best interest to fly around and explore. Like a road trip in space.
[QUOTE=Doctor Dave;37988559]It seems that people are going dark after some guy posted that someone from a Spanish forum got an early release of Halo 4 and posted some screens,[/QUOTE] They weren't that crazy, just the two discs and the main menu.
[QUOTE=Doctor Dave;37988559]It seems that people are going dark after some guy posted that someone from a Spanish forum got an early release of Halo 4 and posted some screens,[/QUOTE] So the Spanish leaked it early this time instead of the French?
