I hate how I got Halo 2, one year after it came out, and the MOMENT I WAS GETTING LIVE (somewhere in 08/09) they weren't selling it anymore fucking I missed out on all that and I thought I was going to get a 360 and H3, nope, missed that too, got a 360 at the start of this year man those halo 3 custom games sounded SO FUN anyone do custom games/know anyone who does?
Oh, the colour of the Armour Camo is customizable. The Pattern is "Forest"
PS I got my xbox when I was 6, got halo 2 when I was 8 I think? dont remember but I played, TONNES AND TONNES OF HALO 2 probably like 10k hours or something get home? PLAY HALO 2 need to go to bed? play for another HOUR [editline]25th May 2012[/editline] I've also got ODST with mythic disc so I have all DLC for the custom games
[PHP][/PHP][QUOTE=Tuskin;36086307]How the hell is that Armour Camo "Forest"?[/QUOTE] Forests on a planet with red trees obviously Also red might work during autumn but I'd say that's a long shot

Edit: I wonder if there will be digital camo, I like how that looks (One of the reasons I pre-purchased Crysis 2 was because I got a custom digital camo skin)
I have to admit, I'm liking the pattern customization. [editline]25th May 2012[/editline] And HAZOP Gen2 looks fucking awesome, except I'm not sure what the hell the visor bit sticking out up the middle would do for anybody.

In case anyone missed it, [url=http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/05/25/The-Halo-Bulletin-52512.aspx]here's some info about the Rail Gun:[/url] [QUOTE=Bulletin]Halo 4’s arsenal includes numerous weapons, some of which you’re familiar with, and others of which you are not. One of the all-new aforementioned items you’ll have at your disposal in Halo 4 is the Railgun. Manufactured by Acheron Security, its official designation is the Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920. The ARC-920 Railgun is a compact-channel linear accelerator that fires a high-explosive round at incredible speed, delivering both kinetic and explosive force to hard and soft targets alike. (Insert discreet cough here.) Before we go any further, I must ask you to raise your right hand and repeat after me: “I, (insert your super 1337 gamertag here), solemnly swear to remember that the following information is not only subject to change, but in all likelihood will change before the game ships. I will also remember that when one of the below details does change, I will not be angry at bs angel, or send her angry messages. And that goes for as long as we both shall live.” Now that the formalities are out of the way, let’s chat about the current iteration of the Railgun. To give you a reference point, we’ll compare it to the Spartan Laser. Like the Spartan Laser, the Railgun has to be charged before firing. There are appropriate (and awesome) audio cues when that’s happening. The Railgun’s charge time feels like approximately half of the Laser’s. One of the more notable differences between the Railgun and the Laser is the Railgun does not have a zoom function. While I initially saw that as a negative, it turned into a positive because the lack of a zoom function eliminates those moments when you’re making an adjustment, someone shoots you and pulls you out of zoom, and you end up overcorrecting and missing your target. The Railgun offers more of a static experience where the corrections you’re making, whether someone is shooting you or not, are going to be the same. If you move left, the reticle is going to stay to the left. If you move right, the reticle is going to stay to the right. Ultimately, it lets you muscle your way through taking fire, allowing you to be clutch with a one-hit kill weapon. The Railgun does not do as much vehicle damage as the Laser, but strategically placed shots are able to change a vehicle’s force and direction. When its projectile hits a vehicle, it has the potential to send it flying, rolling, or perhaps even off a cliff because of the kinetic energy (similar to repeatedly hitting a Warthog with a Brute Shot). Once the Railgun has been fired, it feels instantaneous; the moving projectile doesn’t feel like it has a lot of travel time (think Rocket Launcher vs. Laser). Overall, in its current iteration, it’s considered a power weapon as it is super lethal and deadly accurate. When the game ships, though, it may end up shooting marshmallows. Marshmallows of death, doom, and destruction, but marshmallows all the same.[/QUOTE]
So can we be Elites in Multiplayer again without worrying about the gamemode or match allowing it...I blame Reach for that

The more art/screenshots I see for Halo 4, the more I think there's a Japanese influence to the art style, I'm not entirely sure why though. EB Games Canada is getting the forest camo as a pre-order bonus, I wonder if that's what EB Games Australia will get.

What the fuck is up with all these pre-order exclusives? I liked Reach and ODST better, where you'd have only 1 or 2 pre-order bonuses, now it looks like there'll be at least 20 different bonuses at the start of the game.
I feel like these new armour designs were influenced by the Power Rangers.
new RVB Season 10 trailer [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN1IwxXU748[/hd] IMHO the shot of the Frigate being attacked by the Longswords in the trailer looks very cool.
It looks like Michael Bay got ahold of Red vs. Blue. Am I the only one who thinks the new stuff isn't as good as the old stuff? Like, it just seems like it's less about comedy and more about drama and action. It's not the Red vs. Blue we all fell in love with.

Am i seeing Emblems being restricted to preorder bonuses? Really?

If they were fake, they would probably be better quality and/or try to show off a bunch of things we haven't seen yet. If these are fakes, the guy who made it isn't very ambitious.
