[tee eye ehm]

I'm going to Best Buy today to trade in an extra PS3 for the One...so can anyone explain the differences in these two for me?




The products give you the same console, but the assasin's creed bundle gives you two games for "free."
The games are downloadable codes, so you can't resell them.

Thanks. Just find it weird that the bundle is the same price as the non bundle.

 

[stick]

^ I think you can resell the codes too.

sprints not going anywhere

If theyre really as committed to listening to player feedback as they say they are it will. It really is the most detrimental thing to Halo games for like 20 reasons. I could write an essay about why sprint is bad for Halo.

It wont be hard to scrap the three maps they got and start over

antidope Thanks for the in depth explanation .

Why you gotta disrespect me like that?

No problem man, glad it made sense.

the beta is going to have 7 maps. they aren't gojng to scrap them. some of the feed back that they will take into account

- calling out power weapons
-nerfing smg
- nerfing ground pound
- Spartan chatter
- change announcer less medals

they aren't going to rework their core elements. which are the armor upgrades and the speed. so people need to either come to terms with that or just stop complaining and not buy the game.

They're already thinking about putting the callouts and chatter in social only, thats cool with me, it can stay to teach people who dont know but it really has no place in ranked.

The medals thing has been an issue since 4. Right now the number of medals given out is borderline spam, it just clutters the screen with nonsense. They can keep all of the medals, but only show the classic and deserving medals in-game such as sniper headshots, multikills, assists and sprees. Things like Revenge, Reload this, Rocket Kills, and all the ones that are really there to make people feel like they've done something can show in the post game carnage, but not in game.

I doubt they do what needs to be done regarding the terrible announcer. People here said I was nitpicking but its a loudly voiced complaint. The announcer used to be one of the cool things about this game, and now its downright awful. From the long explanations of gametypes that arent needed all the way down to how he sounds. Its all bad.

I know sprint is staying honestly but I still hate it.

 

[blastercombo]

I hate that "if you don't like it don't buy it" statement. DUH

And I'll still complain and bash the game

How were sales for Halo 4? I know a lot of you dislike the game but for them to go and bring back a lot of the things that people dislike, there must have been a ton of other people who did like it

Nah it's cause they couldn't have a collection without it

 

[blastercombo]

I'm sure it sold great

 

[mczoot]

I need to get in on these custom matches. Gonna be out of town this weekend, but next week, I'm down.

What time do ya'll usually play?

GT: McZoot

I was referring to them addind H4 elements to H5. People in here seem so irate over it but for them to do it means "somebody" must have liked it.

 

[Ricky D]

According to the chart I posted, 8.94M sold

 

[sole vintage]

Sales were great but the online pop :x



Halo 4 lasted a whole two entire months in the Top 3 of the Xbox Live activity chart. Halo 3 didn't fall out of the Top 3 until Halo Reach released - 3 years after it's release. Halo Reach didn't fall out of the Top 3 until 343's title update for the game after they took over the game, 12 months after release.

How does, "better than nothing" sound? Some people just need to play a halo game. It's either they play a trash halo or not one at all

 

[putting in work]

I just discovered if you go down your news feed or freinds list or whatever that thing is called you can see people that others added adn I recognized some names so I added them too.

I still can't get into MM

When does the patch go out that you guys posted yesterday.

where do I go to download it.

is it automatic because i keep my xbox on all the time.

Sippoosedly, the problem is whith the servers.

So you don;t need to download a patch.

I guess this makes sense. I thought Gears Judgment was trash, I didn't buy it nor play it. I refuse to play something that I don't like. Halo 5 about to do numbers, especially since Halo MCC barely works. 343 done scammed everybody

They just like to not listen to the core fanbase. People would buy it regardless if it had sprint or not, off the virtue that it has Halo in the title. Halo has become a name draw the games will always sell. Retaining people is another story, which is what Halo 4 failed to do.

But they know how much people hate sprint in Halo. 343 themselves made a thread asking about Sprint and the response was overwhelmingly against it. What do they do? Instead of taking it out, they make an attempt to fix it, but Sprint cant be fixed, once its in the game, the rest of the game has to be balanced around it. Its that huge of a game mechanic. 

 

[Ricky D]

I feel for you guys. I hope whoever (not sure if it'll be Black Tusk) does the Gears Collection takes note of this terrible launch and does things right with a beta.

 

[carver]

Not even a beta.. Just test the game before you release it lol

 

[putting in work]

Yeah this crap is really unreasonable.

Three day weekend and I have to play campaign.

I'm about to hop back on Ghosts

 

[Ricky D]

I really hope a Gears Collection drops next year. I figure it can't be that hard to upgrade 3 360 games and it would give Black Tusk more time to work on their own game.

 

[djyoung08]

anyone play dragon age inquisition via EA access yet?

 

[putting in work]

Also, I don't know if it's laziness but I think I'm going all digital from here on out.

I just want to say what game to go to and it goes I hate getting up to change discs.

 

[Zephyr1983]

Not weighing in on the sprint issue in particular. But in my opinion H5 HAS to be radically different, and set a new standard for graphics, gameplay and MP quality

If H5 is just a slight graphical upgrade over H4 etc with traditional Halo MP gameplay the whole game will be a waste of everyone's time because we just received MCC.

If you want classic Halo, play the MCC. H5 must offer something new and revolutionary
