Wazdakka Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Yeah. Only "December 2013". Come on, Microsoft, come on. In other news: bizarre Halo:Reach question: I'm debating whether to buy the TacPad forearm armor, since I've just gotten enough credits to do so. Does anybody here have it? From the first person view, are you able to see it on your arm? Without meleeing? Quote Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri. Xbox Live Gamertag: Makuta.

Axilus Prime Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If you like how it looks, buy it. The only wrist attachment I can think of that shows without melee is Buckler, and it looks weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazdakka Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Spartan Assault's release date has now been announced: December 24th! I know what I want for Christmas. Also, I just realized today while at school that I missed 343 Day and was terribly upset. Is 343 Day and Fiesta Slayer by some fluke still happening today?

Axilus Prime Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I doubt it, but on the bright side the Commando armor wasn't very good in Halo 4 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manducus Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Actually, I concur. It looks fantastic. Although that doesn't mean that I'm willing to swap it for my Mark VI. Quite a shame that the game is going to be released some time around 2014 for 360 users. Not sure if it's only online coop or has the option for splitcreen.

I know Spartan-Is and Spartan-IIs cannot be infected, but Spartan-IVs can?

Wazdakka Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 What are you talking about? I don't remember ever seeing anything about Flood invulnerable Spartans. Have you played any of the first 3 Halos?If not, I will summarize what I'm talking about. Master Chief (as a Spartan-II) does not get infected by the Flood, nor does his corpse get infected. The same goes for Avery J. Johnson (a Spartan-I). They are invulnerable to infection by Flood spores or infection forms. I'm not saying that they cannot be killed by the Flood.

Wazdakka Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I've been playing Halo: Reach's campaign on Heroic, and I can see why it'd be a major pain on Legendary. I don't know... might try it eventually. That said... to those of you who have both, which do you like better: the space sequence in Reach (Long Night of Solace in Sabre) or in Halo 4 (Midnight in Broadsword)? Personally, both were great with their own strengths. I like how it's a larger, more-open space in Reach, and it really reminded me of Star Wars Battlefront II (nostalgia), cruising around and tearing apart the Corvette, then boarding it. Awesome. That said, Halo 4's section was essentially Halo's Death Star Trench Run and it was awesome. It was fast-paced and crazy, where you and your friend are frantically trying not to get blown up by turrets or killed by your own piloting incompetence as Earth and a beautifully rendered skybox fly past you. Reach's skybox was cool as well for the space mission, but I loved the craziness of the one in Midnight. Quote Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri. Xbox Live Gamertag: Makuta.

Manducus Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Try Midnight on Legendary with lag. Crashes occur every five seconds. Plus a huge amount of frustration. Edited December 15, 2013 by MaliceGhost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Lag can make the easiest of things near impossible. And I happen to have the slowest DSL package possible where I live, so lag is naturally a problem. Both space sections were fun. Reach's had better combat, but Halo 4's had a very fun trench run. That trench run was pretty much my favorite part of Halo 4 in general. Not that it makes me like the entire game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manducus Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Try Midnight on Legendary with lag. Crashes occur every five seconds. Plus a huge amount of frustration. Try playing that. A slight touch of the analog stick will send you flying meters more than you intended. Or when it feels like you're walking on an ice rink. I remember playing Shutdown with three other friends and all of them were dead (obviously lag + Hunters = a no-go) and I was jumping to safety when lag decided to kick in. I was sent sailing right off the ledge. Edited December 15, 2013 by MaliceGhost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazdakka Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Well, lag is a problem that can make even the best moments the worst. Thankfully, I've never really had too many problems with it. I've had worse lag on Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 on my personal computer than any games on my Xbox 360. Quote Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri. Xbox Live Gamertag: Makuta.
