Yeah i've found a few logs :)

@Ops: Have you watched the first 2 Spartan Ops CG episodes yet?

No, I haven't actually seen those Spartans Ops CG eps yet.

Man, I'm telling you, I keep playing this campaign over and over, and just can't get enough of it. I can't even decide which mission is my favorite, or which story section is my favorite, but there's no doubt in my mind that reclaimer is most definitely way up there. Especially due in large part to the massive overdose of awesome story content that gets dropped on you in that mission. Also is Halo 4's campaign king of the hill for Halo games where awesome, vehicle based combat sequences are concerned or what? It simply doesn't get much better than that for a Halo game. I remember some incredible sections in Half Life 2 as well.

No matter how many times I play this thing, I'll never get tired of seeing that punk ass Captain Del Rio getting put in his place when he tries to take Cortana away from the Chief. Was a pretty intense scene :)

1 log ?
dude there is a few things, like as soon as you exit cryo sleep go straight ahead to the img of infinity floating there is a "pc" there to tell you a few things about the ship, there is loads everywhere, very cool.

Yeah, that was my favourite scene as well. It was in fact the only scene where I wished I had bought the English version, because the in the German one, the Captain was synced very bad....

It is a fantastic scene and first time chief has ignored a order?

If you mean the Forward Unto Dawn, then, yes, I definitely checked all of those out.

@redneck -- German voiceovers not synced too good eh? What can ya say, lazy devs :P JK

I'm kinda still surprised how good this game is. I mean, it's an incredible game. Way better than I could have hoped. Eventually, I'm going to create a thread where we just go nuts about all the spoilers in the game's story. For instance, I'm confident I know literally everything the Librarian did to the Chief when she said that she would speed up his evolution. Expect significant, and I mean significant, gameplay changes in Halo 5. The Chief is going to be capable of things during actual gameplay that are unprecedented for a Halo game. Watch and see. Calling it :D

I have never anticipated a book more than I'm now anticipating the final book in the Forerunner trilogy. I was already excited, but I just have to see what comes next after this game, because some of that book will most definitely take place after the events of Halo 4.

@manthatyoufear, to my knowledge, it is indeed the first time he has ever directly disobeyed an order. You could say he did it indirectly once in the book Halo : First Strike. He deliberately withheld crucial intel on the flood involving Sgt. Johnson actually surviving an attempted flood infection. He instead opted to provide ONI with much more limited intel on the flood and what transpired on the first Halo ring. You could say that was in clear violation of any orders the Chief would be placed under. He withheld potentially vital information to the overall war effort, all to save Sgt. Johnson's life, knowing ONI would probably experiment on him like crazy to find out why he survived the flood.

Ok major issue here with Halo 4

Theater... what horse shit is this? no campaign no spartan ops, just forge and MP and ONLY 1 game at a time..

Guys my game glitched last night, everyone was 2" tall (except me) all you could see was the guns running around on the floor shooting me, but there hit boxes shrunk as well, i was laughing my ass off.. would of shown you :(

looking everywhere on the net see if someone else has this but nothing next time i will film it with phone.. you should see a 2" hunter.. it's sooooooooooo cute.

on and they was running normal speed.. so they was FAST as fuck for there size :D.

LMAO!! :)

honestly when it happened to me i was crying :)

That's one funny ass glitch lol... Also, I agree, ManThatYouFear, the way theatre works is pretty silly. It would have been nice to be able to just browse through every terminal video without having to completely leave the game. It had to have been some sort of resource related issue or something. Maybe they just couldn't afford to allow such a thing while the game was running? Or maybe they simply added it to the game at a much later point in time, and didn't want to go through the effort of having to code it to work in conjunction with the game technically also still running in the background. So, maybe they just did what was easiest with regards to their development schedule. I know for a fact from my own personal experience that sometimes -- well, a lot of times -- it's simply far better to code something in isolation with no consideration for getting it to work together with some other major piece of code, and then you can work on tying them together at some later point in time, but, even if you don't, at least you know that the code works, and then you can simply provide a pathway to that app/code in its isolation.

Whatever sacrifices needed to be made, or whatever steps needed to be taken for efficiency sake, this game looks unbelievable. The art and level design is quite the achievement. I've never stopped so many times to just take a look around and appreciate an environment as much as I've done in this game. Usually this much appreciation from me is reserved for role playing games.

I kind of understood things from the Captain's perspective. The Chief and Cortana have literally saved the human race at least three times, BUT they also have a recognized history of blowing up UNSC starships and losing ALL HANDS in the process. I can only imagine what plan Cortana would have come up with if Cpt Del Rio agreed to follow her lead. If I were Cpt I wouldn't have ignored their warnings about the Didact, but I certainly would have viewed them very wearily as assets.

You also have to understand that THEY ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR WAKING THE DIDACT. Placing all of humanity in mortal danger. I mean this whole thing with idiot humans running around pressing buttons and not even knowing what the fuck will happen is ridiculous. Last week's Spartan OP summed it up perfectly, humans activating Forerunner tech is like monkeys playing around with nukes. They have to come up with a better strategy than this. Every situation is a potential Pandora's box.

STUDY MORE, PRESS LESS BUTTONS. lol

The grunts in the campaign sound like they're pissed all the time, so I decided to make the grunts noise my new ring tone. Sounds like my phone is possessed.

True but as you said they did save the human race like 3 times, so if a few ships get sacrificed then so be it, a Captain of all people should understand this, sacrifice the few for the many.

I bursted out loud when he started throwing granades at them lols.

I'll admit, the lack of more convenient way to view the terminals is without a doubt an annoyance, Grift, but it does very little to take away from what is easily one of the best games I've ever played. I mean, this thing kicks ass on so many levels. I never get tired of seeing all the truly crazy shit the Chief did in this game. If I were just wildly imagining all the crazy shit I'd hope to see the Chief do in this game, it still wouldn't come close what the Chief actually ended up doing.

I mean, each one of us here had to have said "holy shit" or been in awe of what we were witnessing in this game at least 3 to 4, likely even more, times. This is the Halo Universe at its absolute best, and it's crazy to think that it's just the start of a new trilogy.

Also, I haven't said nearly enough about the music, but it's fantastic. It's different, but it certainly fits with the overall mood of this game. I'm also not sure if you guys realized, but the new composer paid homage to marty's originl Halo theme during one of the bigger moment during the game. It was subtle, but very noticeable. That very last encounter with the Knights might very well be one of the best close quarters encounters I've had in an FPS. The area is very well setup for that encounter against what I believe had to have been about 4 or 5 Promethean Knights. You're forced to respect the Knights in a different way than you would the Elites, but come that last level when I was just ever so close to the Didact, I was flat out destroying them :D

There's also just no questionthat this game is a huge step up for the storytelling in a Halo game. I've always liked the storytelling, but I've wanted it to be more like the books, and seem as exciting as the books often are at their very best, and boy did they ever deliver on all of that. 343 totally nailed the development for the Chief and Cortana, and did a fairy excellent job of introducing and giving us a little bit of insight into what other characters are like, no doubt because they'll probably have some fairly important role in the fiction going forward. When they said they would explore the Chief's humanity and that Cortana's rampancy would be a major element of the game's story, they weren't just blowing smoke. They did the damn thing :)

Oh btw, AI still sucks at driving. I got on the gun on the warthog on the mammoth level, figuring the guy would do a half way decent job behind the wheel, and this guy literally crashes and flips the warthog in the process of trying to get out of the mammoth. It was such an epic fail. I learned my lesson after that.

you need to watch the first 3 spartan ops episodes, there brilliant! :)

Damn, Halo needs a movie so bad, it isn't even funny.

Wait a minute, I wonder if that thing contains the Librarian? It is said in the second Forerunner book that she's still alive. Halsey built Infinity. Why am I not surprised :)

i really hate that Sarah bitch and i hate the ay there treating dr Halsey.. i understand why she has to take the fall, but .. it is just wrong :(
