The Halo Thread V12: The Last Thread Turned Into A Bridge - Games

Man, warzone is fucking awesome! It's like the love child between BTB and firefight. Just works so well.

I think 343 finally put out a good product Don't get why you would delay the game over a content creator that stopped being relevant a long time ago. BTB would be nice but we have Warzone?

woke up, game was finally unlocked for me, new update.. Motherfucker is 55 GB What the fuck? like seriously...Thank you 343 i surely love my 1 week long download wait

it IS set to auto update, i pre loaded the game and it was 55.4 GB .. in fact it was ready to play and all but as soon i hit play nope, 55GB Update available

[QUOTE=Fat White Lump;48990239]I did too, but you can use the disc.[/QUOTE] I wonder how cheaply i can get it used [editline]27th October 2015[/editline] eb games, at least online, has no used copies of reach, only anniversary and halo 4

[QUOTE=werewolf0020;48992059]it IS set to auto update, i pre loaded the game and it was 55.4 GB .. in fact it was ready to play and all but as soon i hit play nope, 55GB Update available[/QUOTE] happened to me but i only have to donload the 9gb update

Which was the day one patch.

Can we all agree that Arbiter and [sp]Exuberant Witness[/sp] are the best parts of campaign?

Yes.

Welp, tried everything i could it pretty much wiped my whole preload.. see ya guys in a week

get refund, buy disc version?

Warzone is amazing, but holy hell we are tied with the enemy team the whole way until we both need 100 points and a boss spawns, my team gets it down really low and then an enemy spawns a scorpion to take the last hit and we lose. [editline]27th October 2015[/editline] My only other complaint is that the REQ packs that you're supposed to get day one didn't appear for me so I have to wait until they do sometime this week

What the fuck?! I need to have xbox live gold to play custom games?! What the hell is that bullshit!

[QUOTE=Joakim Lindb;48992879]What the fuck?! I need to have xbox live gold to play custom games?! What the hell is that bullshit![/QUOTE] well there isnt any splitscreen so

I never understood why consoles restricted their players from multiplayer games with another paywall whilst PC only needs to pay for the internet. It doesn't make sense.

[QUOTE=usaokay;48990151]I like how they used the corporate lingo, "We liked X and it was a rough decision to cut X, but here's our inane reason to the uproar on X." Having a four player co-op with no splitscreen seems silly.[/QUOTE] Whats even more insane is you can't do the 4 player co-op over anything but online with friends list. No match making or anything like that Read: a campaign that was built around a feature that only 5% of people will bother to (or can) do. [editline]27th October 2015[/editline] So looking over the reddit Early impressions are that gameplay is great, but the maps are really limited/repetitive All kind of designed the same way, and half of the maps are just slightly tweaked versions of existing maps. Effectively there are only 4 unique arena maps iirc and the three warzone maps When is BTB coming? That is sure to bring a ton of maps with it I hope. Hope they do arena versions of those maps too.

No systemlink (lan), no splitscreen, forge delayed. Why? the first two was the reason to BUY consoles since it was easy to play with friends, now its all paid for multiplayer and shit.

Man I love the game so far but consistently shitty teams + swatnums is putting me off.

Fuck I really want this game, but no splitscreen is fucking killing me...

Especially ironic is that despite "everyone playing online anyways", couch-co op as a genre of games has exploded and half of the time in MCC multiplayer I see people joining in local multiplayer parties. People clearly do local multiplayer a lot.

They both should have local multiplayer.

[QUOTE=343N;48992470]get refund, buy disc version?[/QUOTE] Retail stores are very much non existant in venezuela hence why i always go digital, And im sure microsoft dont give refunds for pre orders once the game is released?

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;48993111]No systemlink (lan), no splitscreen, forge delayed.

Servers must be getting pounded, started my download about 12 hours ago and it's at 87%. Sad face :(

[QUOTE=Tuskin;48993537]Well System Link is microsoft's fault IIRC, the XB1 doesn't support system link at all.[/QUOTE] Tbh the last game I remember even doing any system link for was Halo 3/Gears, pretty sure most games didn't support it near the end of the 360's life

[QUOTE=Winner;48993900]...why would there be no splitscreen? guess when people come over we'll playing cod because I can barely find games in mcc[/QUOTE] 60fps and some pointless physics system > splitscreen These days if you want local coop/vs you get CoD, Diablo 3: RoS, or a Nintendo console.

Because the devs were lazy. There's literally no other reason. It's been in Halo forever and now it's not because fuck off. Sorry if I come off as butthurt about it, but one of the biggest draws for Halo for me was playing it with friends who were too poor to get their own Xbox.

I don't think they don't want splitscreen. It probably would take too long to implement in the time they have. It's a stupid overlook on their part, but probably not intentional.

System instability, can't maintain 1080p, it crashed consoles.
