What games did you end up buying?

> Got mine about two weeks ago and love it still getting use to it thou.

Nice! I played Battlefield 4 and Dead Rising 3 once. The graphical jump didn’t seem that impressive at first but this year’s is insane.

> Got mine about two weeks ago and love it still getting use to it thou.

Yeah, the UI is a lot different and takes a good chunk of time to feel natural. Going to dashboard, doing something, then back to your game is a very cool addition, though.

agreed, i was not blown away with the launch titles for any system. Next year is looking promising.

It just does not feel the same without Halo…

The titles at launch didn’t seem to have much of a graphical improvement. Them being designed for last-gen and next-gen consoles probably didn’t help too much with all that… I had ACIV and BF4, but I still played Halo on my 360. Looks like I won’t have to do that anymore… xD

> snip

It is hard to explain, but not a Halo game just any game to fill these shoes ( ATM we have no drastic ones such as TF2 ) a game where the classes have HUGE roles and not just diff guns…but higher jumps and others with higher health…just…a game that looks at tf2 and says “lets go about improving on this”.

Looking forward to playing battlefield 4 64 player xbox one also good cos your stats carry over from 360 to xbox one or ps3 to ps4.

Unreal kinda fills this. Not really class-based, though. But the different species have drastic differences in capabilities…

I somewhat agree but idk unreal kinda died out quick and it just was not fun to me but it felt clunky. but thats my point Halo = arena COD = crap-I mean twitch shooter BF = “realistic” Kit looks to the throne for class based shooters to only see a really dusty chair why will no one claim this seat?! (ofc this is all about console games)

LOL, protection wise, they are a better choice, but I don’t find them as useful for some MOSs, I was always in or out of mine at AT, around the tents, I could get away with out it, but to the latrine, defeact, vehicles, and battalion, I had to throw on that thing, and it wasn’t very comfy for me to use the John with it on, so I had to take it off, and sitting in a 12 pack van wasn’t comfy wearing that thing. made me feel fat. Plus you get weird looks when you drive off base wearing that.

Confidence/Courage is without a doubt, one of the best qualities a person can have. But you can’t let it turn into arrogance, I’ve done that before and also lacked it.

Very excited about the MCC, I’ve tweeted bs angel and Bravo multiple times about previous data such as DLC skins being featured in MCC Halo 4 but no answer. Wondering if Champions and other skins will be usable in Spartan Ops.

What pre-orders could they make for MCC?

I want my Alpha code, Bungie. :frowning:

They’re doing Skulls for H2A.

Nice, like they did with CEA. Wonder if they will unlock Grunt Funeral for all players. Hoping they do or at least let people who had it have it again, which is less likely.

There’s 3 different ones so far.

Yeah, they suck to put on and take off and are a lot bulkier than IBAs. I’m a FOBbit, so I don’t have to worry about wearing mine too often. It’s the second round of elections here in Afghanistan, so security is tight. Lots of rumors of an upcoming attack…

@KitKat: They are making a new Unreal game, and it sounds like they are looking to reclaim the arena shooter crown!
