I havent played Titanfall in like 2.5 months, Watch Dogs in 1.5. Thank God for Halo man, no matter how the other games pan out, I have one game that I know I'll be no lifing

Just got the Xbox One last week. I find it hilarious that you can't play video files off of a Flash Drive, which was a 360 feature for years.

.

IMO its their way of forcing xbox video/DRM down people's throats.

and i hate it

I'm on TF tonight to try out the new maps. Anyone trying to run later?

When my brother bought his xbox one I asked him where the usb port was so I could connect my external hd and watch a movie. He said there wasn't one and I was like why isn't there one.

There are a few USB ports, but I have no idea what you would use them for since you can't play music/videos off of them. I guess for storing games and other game related data .

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. If I remember correctly they tried to pull the same thing with the 360 but they caught enough backlash that they added the capability in a dashboard update. Hopefully that's what's gonna happen with the One.

Also there's no backwards compatibility with X1/360 games? I haven't tried any of them yet but that kinda sucks too. I could understand no X1 compatibility but if I ever wanna pop in an old game I gotta use my 360 :\.

Yup no backwards compatibility.

My 360 is still plugged in and i still play it regularly.

MS said it deals with the entire new architecture of the xb1's OS. I do programming on a much smaller scale than video game operating systems and thats pretty believable.

 

[stick]

^ Yeah I assumed the X1 architecture would be worlds different than the One. I figured the 360 would be similar though. At least similar enough to develop an emulator. Guess not though.

I'm gonna have to hook my 360 back up. Does your XBL account stay active on it? Or do you have to recover it every time you use it on the One?

It stays active. In fact I've been on live with both consoles at the same time.

Nice, that makes it a lot easier.

TV shows in .avi format for me. I watch .mkv files on my Blu-Ray player.

 

[antidope]

I put my H2 disc in the other day. Ran around the maps to see if I remembered where all the weapons on maps were ( I dont) then I played H2 campaign on legendary. Died too much and got off

You either noob combo the whole time or you die

Bro why are you still downloading shows. Just get Movie Box (iPhone) or Showbox (Android) stream it. Those transferring to USB stick days are over. Save yourself some time lol

Having a local storage of saved movies and tv shows is extremely clutch with the internet goes down for what ever reason

I'm telling you guys Halo 4 was the first Halo to really delve into the humanity of John/ Chief and the whole conflict. Stoked to see what 343 does with the remaining two games and tv show. MP wasn't good but I still say it had the best campaign.

Nah man my iPhone screen is too small to be watching anything other than a YouTube vid on it. Plus on my connection I can download a TV show in like 30 seconds and a 2-5GB movie in 5-10 mins or less.

Nah, the story felt like a side story and fighting against the robot things was just annoying.

I hate reach MP but it had the best MP for sure story and gameplay

Those Knight things in H4 bruh :x the amount of damage those things could take was unreal. **** had me frustrated trying to beat it on legendary with my boy

 

[stick]

I liked the Halo 4 campaign a lot but it got cheesy at times with the Cortana/Chief "love" story.

AGREED. HALO 4 IS MY SECOND FAVORITE AFTER THE HALO 1

I didn't see it like that tbh. I get what you're saying but their relationship was totally unromantic. Chief is more or less incapable of romantic feelings at this point in the story. They had a very strong bond but thats it. IMO

 

[antidope]

CE/REACH>ODST>2>>>3>>>>>>>>>>>>>4

 

[blastercombo]

Not to mention you're either fighting robot dogs, butterflies, or knights the majority of the time. It just sucked and was very limited.


CE, no 2 plays were the same.

Yeah not necessarily a romantic love, just a strong bond.

And you guys really think H2 campaign was one of the best? It didn't have that "mystery" factor imo. Halo 3 brought that back and 4 had it as well.

Halo 2's campaign was the most unique I just didn't enjoy it that much. It was unlike any of the other games (aside from ODST).
