  1. Halo 4 LE No Longer Worth It!?

    in Halo 4

    Limited Edition Contents

    • War Games Map Packs: The Limited Edition includes access to nine maps - three future competitive multiplayer map packs, each including three locations, available for download post-launch on Xbox LIVE.

    • The Special Edition of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, a 90-minute extended version of the live-action digital series which will take fans back to the terrifying beginning of the Human/Covenant war, when the Master Chief inspired a young cadet who would eventually become a leader aboard the UNSC's greatest vessel ever: the UNSC Infinity.

    Digital content also included:

    • Bonus in-fiction bonus content expanding the characters and stories of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn and their connections to Halo 4
    • Special Featurette: Bringing Gaming into Reality
    • Making of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn

    Bonus digital content through Xbox LIVE:

    • Unique in-game Spartan IV armor skin
      Unique in-game weapon skin for the Assault Rifle
    • An exclusive in-game emblem
    • Xbox LIVE Avatar prop
      Xbox LIVE Avatar Spartan IV armor set
    • The Limited Edition also contains the UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet which includes a Spartan armor customization schematic, an introduction to the massive ship UNSC Infinity, and insight into what it means to be one of humanity's finest warriors: The Spartan IVs.

    Basically, it's similar to the Black Box for Reach. That's why it's only 99 bucks, rather than 150 like the HR Legendary Edition. The HR LE was 80 bucks and only came with a couple booklets and some artwork. All the HR LE came with that was "exclusive" was the Elite armor. Bascially, you are getting 9 new maps, an Avatar prop, an Avatar Armor set, an armor skin and an AR skin, and an exclusive emblem.

     

    As for it being a "rip off" for the standalone wargames map pack to come with the two helmets, you pay 15% more for those two helmets. Plus, the helmets will probably be released with the Pre-Order DLC. That's an awful lot of money to spend on dressing your barbie doll.

     

    The only reason I would have ever gone for the LE is because it saves money. The whole "exclusive" thing is a complete croc. The only people who care about it are those who like to lord over other people saying stuff like, "I got something you doooon't" which is really immature and not my style. Fact is, armor skins and helmets aren't going to make you better at the game, and everyone will forget about them about a week after the game is released. Just like they did with HR Legendary Edition and preorder bonuses. If THAT was what you wanted to spend 99 bucks on, I think you should rethink things a bit.

     

    yeah but i want the steelbook case and the in game stuff and im fine with paying 99 bucks on it

  4. Halo 4 LE No Longer Worth It!?

    Yeah I understand we get the Forward Unto Dawn, but it is only downloadable, it is not in a disc form. So if something happens to your account or xbox, you lose the Forward Unto Dawn. Yes we also get the War Games Map Pass, however we do not get the Strider and Scanner helmet, or the Falcon Emblem that comes with the stand alone War Games Map Pass. Like I said, this is ridiculous, the LE is not really worth it anymore.

    i think this is pretty stupid but i do agree with the director but i bought the LE because of being able to get special armor and skins and the forward unto dawn. but now that its on the skins and the FUD i think they should atleast make FUD a disc or lower the price or even add some more things in the LE. :turned:

  9. will there be 2 ranking/progression systems?

    in Halo 4

    Posted

    I think there will be a ranked playlist set and a social playlist set like in Halo 3. SO we will have both a ranked and social rank/title. SR-27 for example is an overall title/rank from all of the experience from both social and ranked games. And if I am Rank 42, that is my overall rank in the ranked playlists. I have a feeling this is how it is going to work.

    wait so can i rank up my skill level like sr 27 to sr 28 from playing social playlists?

    The Double xp is not for all matches...when you use the codes it puts your gamertag in a list of other players with the double xp. When you boot up Halo 4 War Games, those players with the double xp codes from MTNDew will see a playlist option for Double XP Matches that you can play in. Those are specific matches that will give you double xp...not double xp for all matches.

    thats make sense how do you know so much stuff?

    if they are made by madcatz than I will not be buying them. Their items are not always worth the price. I would stick with officially licensed products

    at amazon they have a for $40 because if you preordered it you get ten bucks off :laughing: i need a good gaming headset the cheap microsoft ones are getting old. cant wait for it to come out!

  19. 2 Seperate Types of War Game Map Packs

    in Halo 4

    Yes, it has been confirmed by BS Angel that the strider and scanner helmet will only be exclusive to the war games map pack bought online. The Map pack with the Limited Edition will not include these exclusives. How do you feel about this? Myself I was getting the console and LE and I cancelled my LE pre-order because of this news. I think it is an interesting marketing campaign to say the least. I'm interested to know if Microsoft was behind the idea of that.

    i think just because of the news you should cancel your LE thats giving away tons of goodies just for two helmets. :turned: it dosent make sense to me. but hey its your choice

  21. will there be 2 ranking/progression systems?

    pretty confused. on another thread people were complaining about how the progression system will be horrible and there should be a true skill system like halo 3 then this one person says there will be a ranking system and a true skill system. so is there going to be two systems and also if you quit or do bad in halo 4 games will/can you be be moved down a rank?

    You do not get double XP in all matches. You only get Double XP specific matches.
