> That’s good to hear. Have you guys tried any mulitplayer features yet?

I’ve tried hacking into someone else’s game and one person has hacked into mine. I managed to kill the person in my game. I was stopped at 87% when I was hacking someone else.

Pretty cool concept but when people eventually learn how AI behave, trying to fit in will be pretty hard.

I’ve never really seen an overview of Chicago, or seen many pictures of it so I couldn’t really say, but when you do a city blackout at night, damn does it look pretty.

Hey look, OT is back.

Its kinda annoying how the enemies in Borderlands 2 hate me.

First, it took me several hours to get 1 Infinity pistol, and now it has taken me 3 hours of BEE-Shield farming, and i still haven’t received it.

I still remember that one time when i got about 1000 Eridium pieces, 15million cash from other weapon drops and 2 backpacks filled with Purple weapons while trying to get the Conference call from the Warrior.

And i didn’t get it…

63

I love getting up early and watching the sun rise ^-^. Also I still hate Reach!

:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I rather enjoy getting to know people, to bad people don’t enjoy getting to know me…

Reach had its downsides. Although, there are memorable aspects from the game. (ex: Invasion, Falcon, Forge World).

I also enjoy learning about people. :slight_smile:

I still prefer Reach over Halo 4.

66

Hmm.

So I wonder what happened to that ad on xbox.com about free gold last weekend. It disappeared after I posted about it and I didn’t get a second of Gold the entire time.

67

Yeah, I do love invasion (although in invasion we should have custom colors) I agree Reach added some nice things…Dat NR. I like 4 over Reach M/M wise.

Oh man, that sounds awesome! I wish you luck on that adventure.

On Saturday, someone who lived in my town was walking down the railroad tracks with a massive pair of noise-canceling headphones on and was listening to dubstep.

After walking in the tracks for about 30 minutes, a train approached.

The train engineer blared the horn as loud and as fast and as much as possible and slammed on the breaks. There were people in their cars nearby, screaming at the person to get out of the way, all honking their horns. But the person’s music was so damn loud, and had so much bass, that he never noticed the train speeding towards him blaring its horn to get him to move.

Seconds later, the train hit him.

He died at the scene.

This begs to ask a question, who’s fault was this?

Was it the engineer who tried as hard as he could to slow the train (which is impossible due to the laws of inertia). Was he at fault for being unable to blow the horn loud enough and brake hard enough?

Was it the people in their cars, who honked their horns over and over again? Was it their fault for not wanting risk their lives by jumping from their cars and pushing the man off the tracks?

Or was it the person with their headphones on, the person who was so tuned into their music that they couldn’t notice a thousand ton engine bellowing towards him and the dozens of people screaming as hard as they could to get him to move? The person who, in the first place, thought it was a good idea to take an extensive hike on railroad tracks in general.

The train engineer could do nothing to slow down, all he could do was blow the incredibly loud horn and pray that the person would move out of the way.

The people in their cars would be risking their lives to try and push him from the tracks with only a few seconds left until impact. They knew that honking their horns and screaming a loud as they could was the safest way to get the man to move.

The only person that could be blamed here is the person who gave their own life by not only choosing to play their music as loud as possible and gain hearing damage, but also walk along some of the most dangerous places made by mankind.

I apologize if I come off as a monster, but I have absolutely no sympathy for him.

Thanks Kat.

I agree 100%

@Andy- Headphones blotting out sound = fine. Stumbling around train tracks with headphones blotting out sound = he deserved it.

> > > Side note, it seems one of my Spartan Assault missions (A-1) has been glitches for my Assault ops which will prevent me from getting my last achievement, Extra credit. Does anyone know how to fix this?
> >
> > Xbox One, 360, or both? On Xbox One, you can disconnect from the Internet, delete the console save, and earn the last Assault Op. Then, reconnect to the Internet. Boom, achievement. However, on the 360, it’s a little, er, lot more difficult. You’ll have to go offline, delete the console save, and redo EVERY last Assault Op, staying offline for the duration. There is no other way to fix the issue, and, because you are having the issue now, it will transfer over to every other version of Spartan Assault you attach your account to. It won’t hurt your Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 versions, because you can complete a weekly challenge to unlock it. You can’t do the same for the console versions, though.

> Im playing on Xbox One. Deleting the consoles save… does that remove all my progress of the game?

Spartan Assault progress is stored in a cloud. It only deletes what hasn’t been synced, and it will all come back after you reconnect to the Internet. The achievement will think you’ve actually completed A-1, and it will unlock the achievement for it as soon as you connect to the Internet. :wink:
