This. I don't play Halo multiplayer.


I'll be going straight to co-op campaign.



I haven't played co-op since Halo 2, but I remember that a fair bit of story was skipped during co-op play.  No idea if it's the same with recent games and/or Halo 4.

I honestly can't remember parts being skipped in 2, I don't think I've played that campaign since like a year after it came out.  

I do know that nothing was skipped in H3 or Reach Co op though.

yeah....and  it seems that the full auto guns have more effective range than they should.

I'm having trouble in matchmaking with sniping. I cant seem to find a range where i can effectivly touch them and they cant touch me with normal ranged guns like the DMR and the BR and various other mid range weapons.

on all the previous Halo's the maps and the guns made it a true sniper experience. I feel like Im playing call of duty where you can kill almost anyone, anywhere, with any gun.

In Halo & Halo 2 (The real Halo's) if you were good enough thats what you could do.

No this isn't a Sandy aftereffect.

Apparently Amazon has outsourced shipping to a company called lasership.  It seems that this tends to occur to amazon prime members.  Which kinds of defeats the purpose (most pepole expect UPS/FEDEX/USPS).

Up till the afternoon today, it showed the delivery estimate to be Nov. 6.  But when I checked again later this afternoon, the date changed to the 8th.  Apparently the package was only handed off to lasership around 12:30pm today somewhere in PA. (Breinigsville ?)

Normally Amazon uses UPS or FEDEX, but this is the first time I've ordered a game through prime shipping (They used to offer release day delivery for 99 cents, but with my prime membership it was either the free standard shipping or the normal prime 2 day option)

I had Amazon ship through some oddball shipper once.  They screwed up delivery, so I complained to Amazon and requested they not use that shipper to ship to me any more, and haven't had a problem since.
Link Posted: 11/6/2012 8:05:08 PM EDT
[#37]
This is the explanation amazon gave me:

We also had a delay in the delivery of inventory to our warehouses, having as a consequence the change of the delivery date and the changing of carriers to ensure delivery


So apparently Sandy did more than I thought.

not really on Halo 2. a sniper gave you a SERIOUS range advantage. and it has stayed that way with Halo 3 and Reach.

this game has people almost right on top of you with every map.

I liked the campaign, but the side dialogue isn't as good as the earlier games. No Grunts yelling 'Demon! Run away!' after you smash in the first ones skull. And not as many funny lines from the Spartans and Marines.

The Spartan Ops are fun, but bugged. I have to log out of Xbox live and back in because they keep telling me I don't have Xbox Gold Live.

And I love the new multiplayer. I really love calling in a gun drop or drawing fire with my hard shield up while my buddies flank the machine gunner. (the one time it actually went according to plan)







And I'm not saying there were alot of ass shots of Cortana in the cut scenes, but I almost memorized the blue circuit pattern from her ass. (you all were thinking it, I just said it)

I liked the campaign, haven't ventured into the rest of the game but it definitely felt more like 1&2 than the rest of them.  Good game.  They're already talking about Halo 5 for next fall (likely) on the Xbox 720..... Without John-117.

Bullshit

I'm HOPING it's just a rumor.  But if you Google "Halo 5" this is in the first 3 links that show up... But did you really think MC doesn't make it out ok?
