"Son of a gun!"

I saw a video last night bitching about being able to buy REQ packs. But conveniently forgot to leave out that all future content is free.

Welp, just paid off my special edition today, and watched the Launch trailer.  I've just been avoiding all things Halo lately just out of fear of spoilers  <_<

Still from the size of the game, from the campaign levels to the Multiplayer maps, this really sounds like 343's most ambitious project.  Let's hope it lives up to the hype.

And just wondering :  do I have to listen to Hunt the Truth to fully understand what is going on?


No. It certainly gives some insight into other perspectives of the backstory but isn't necessary. Like the books.

5884
I'd be up for that. Would i be able to get it for minus game price though?

5885
I bought the guidebook as well, I mean I'm already pissing money at it so £25 more isn't really gonna make much difference to the wallet rape.

that was my logic as well

I want that guide but it costs money and I've already got the Pip-Boy edition pre-ordered as well as Halo 5 and its Limited Edition guide.

lol I'm only getting it for the map that comes with it

I've got a map wall with my Skyrim, OBlivion [+Shivering Isles], GTAV, Middle Earth and Westeros maps. I want to add the Boston Wastes to it.

It's definitely one of those things that only really works when you have a regular stream of content to show for it.

I read it when I was like, 13. My english teacher told me to read it because I was the only person in the class who liked reading. It was alright, don't reallr remember what happened anymore but I remember enjoying it - I've still got the book in my room (Whch I've had for about 3 years now), never got round to returning it.

I got dishonoured and never got past like, the third level. It was fun enough but I just never flet like playing it.

I've had all three Ratchet and Clank games for +10 years and I'm yet to actually finish the story of any of them except 2 (Which I finished a couple weeks ago). I don't play them often so they're games I always restart to get a sense of what's going on.

Guitar Hero 3 - never finished the career mode. Spent way too much time trying to 100% Knights of Cydonia.


In terms of games I dn't own, people always talk about loads of classic games (Mostly pre-Xbox/ Pre-PS2 stuff) that I should play but I don't. I don't really have any interest in anything nintendo has to offer or anything from the 90's and before. So I don't know if they really count.

« on: October 15, 2015, 06:19:40 AM »
I'm registered, but I haven't voted for anything yet

Might vote for our new flag, I dunno
There isn't even a reason for us to change the flag, it's just John Key doing his best to divide people and distract from any actual issues.
Whoa, you're from NZ too?

And yeah, I don't see much of a point in changing our flag, if there's an option to vote to keep the current one then I'll do that most likely

It's because everyone always gets the NZ and Australian flags confused, they're practically the same.

No, I'm 18 next year. Missed out on this year's vote by one year so now I have to wait until 2019, when I do plan on voting. Assuming there's anyone worth voting for. With how broken the British voting system is and how shit all the parties are, I don't even know who I'd want to vote for or whether it would be worth it.

I caved and got the collectors edition guide. I want the map ;-;

So yeah, I think I've got Fallout 4 covered, now.

Who goes out to a restraunt with someone they don't know anyway? That's dumb.
People who go on dates, obviously.

It makes sense on the second one, sure. But I don't see the point of spending money on someone you've literally never met.

I don't want to do that stuff anyway so I wouldn't have even in this situation in the first place.

B)i will not live to witness or be a part of human interstellar travel
C)i will not live to see things like the Milky Way-Andromeda Collision

I enjoy/ find it easier to talk to people more on the internet than face to face.  Dunno, most of the stuff other people would find depressing I'm perfectly okay with.

Bungie and 343i were lenient with forge and custom games mods, sometimes incorporating them into official mm (Halo 4 minislayer for example). Because they just allow things in gametype settings that are in map files.

Though matchmaking mods are a big no no.

The Reach forge mod that gives campaign falcons and shit

They have one that does that?!

That's awesome. I thought Bungie was like Verbatim-levels of opposition to mods.


I can provide the download if you want

Meh. I fail to see how this is different to battlefield.

And all five BF4 DLCs have been fantastic.
It plays nothing like Battlefield.

i didn't mention the gameplay

Serious / Re: How rare do you think intelligent life is in space?
« on: October 13, 2015, 05:27:03 AM »


Just quoting this post because I cna't find the one I wanted to reply to. It was one about they would have found us already due to the age of the universe already.

Life has only been present on Earth for an incredibly small amount of time, but Earth has been around roughly a third of the universe's life. Compare that to the rough estimate of trillions of years until heat death, and the universe is barely even a baby. And considering that our radio signals have only reached a handful of star systems out of trillions, combined with the fact that feasible interstellar travel takes centuries, minimum between close stars (And there isn't life nearby that is intelligent, the nearest potentialy Earth-like planet is about 12ly away). Even if some kind of alien life had found us, they can do jack all about it; if they've already discovered us, we may not know for thousands of years. If there is intellgient life near by (And near by refers to within roughly 100 ly for me), we (or they) would know. So, that leaves the only other option to be no, there is no intelligent life.

I agree on the no life point, but your reason that they would have found us is flawed. Unless you want to propose some super forerunner empire or something that has managed to somehow break physics, in which case that would be incredibly obvious and additionally, not worth taking seriously.

However, one thing that does interest me is the notion that we're at the beginning of the universe, really. I like to think that we are the forerunners and in millions of years, there will be a lot more species out there (Be it descended from us, 'planted' by us or just naturally grown) that look at what humans have left behind like in Halo or Mass Effect or something.
