Halo |OT 24| In Before the Locke

I'm always gonna call out 343 when they fumble on what they seem to ALWAYS fumble on.

Communication and the clarity of.

Why is it so difficult for you guys?

I'm guessing serving under a corporate overlord isn't a very healthy environment for such things.

Ironically enough, Bungie was a lot more open when they were with Microsoft. Now that they've joined forces with the devil I often think they and 343 are one and the same company again.
 
Holy shit, $5? That's absurdly cheap. I almost wonder if 343i tried to make it free for everyone, but almost giving it away was the closest compromise MS was willing to make. Actually, I don't wonder all, that's absolutely what happened.

I wake up and Halo 3 ODST was stealth released. Can't complain about that.

Make sure you download the patch first and ODST afterwards. Otherwise you will be stuck at 100% installing.

Yes, really and it's even in the patchnotes, well kinda:

Apparently that's not the issue. Lots of folks in the other thread downloaded the game first, just fine. Or installed the patch first and still can't install ODST.

I just got the error again, too. Smh 343.

Yeah, just saw that. I shouldn't have taken words of friends as confirmation. Sorry, my bad. :/

Still pretty weird issue. I'm wondering what the difference is between people who can install it and people who can't.

Fun fact: The patch made the game actually smaller. I was at 60.1GB and I'm not at 59.1GB. lol

Downloading ODST now.

I'd rather Halo Wars before Halo Reach. Not that either will happen.

I miss RTS games. Even if it was severely limited by the Xbox 360, Wars was a hell of a lot of fun.

Just read the patch notes...? And I says dedicated server handling has been improved. Does that mean that they will no longer be rarer than unicorn shit?

I recall ODST being VERY annoying to complete on Legendary. Hopefully it's not as bad as I remember

Can't remember too many hard bits, keeping your distance was the name of the game. Those flying things were annoying in the hive and as long as you brought the pain on the highway consistently early that isn't too much trouble. Plasma pistol and pistol works well. Remember to collect the voice recordings, unlocks weapon caches eventually and a mongoose.

Ahaha


Now we know why they delayed the game...

It must be copyright issues, no way they'd go through the trouble of changing it just because...


Edit: Unless they changed it to add their own Easter egg... Perhaps it's referencing something in H5.

Doubt it, that 'for her' thing has been around since Halo 1.

Redownloading a last time, this time from the US store. Download size is bigger, maybe it'll actually work.

Watching the cutscenes and there's definitely audio problems, also there's no theater for ODST.

I was just thinking about this while playing Buck's first mission. Wanted to take some pretty screens. Nope. Blind skull it is I guess.

First difference I noticed. Hilarious. Can't just keep it exactly as we remembered it eh? Whatever. Minor issue compared to the absence of Firefight.

ODST even on Legendary was very easy, unless you had Black Eye on, which made it more in line with the other games.

Aside from the Coastal Highway Ghosts. -blam!- them.

I actually don't like that. It was a Bungie teased easter egg for a Bungie game. You're only porting someone else's work, keep it as it is. There shouldn't be any copyright or trademark issues either because it doesn't reference Destiny much at all. Almost 5 years before the game came out.

'For her' has been around, but they probably utilized it to make us assume it's for Cortana. H5 possibly revolves around Chief doing what he's doing For Her.

I mean come on, is that really so bad they have to change it?
 
I'm roaming around Mombasa streets and the game is bright as hell, like really bright and washed out compared to 360.

Anyone else seeing this?

Getting Installation Stopped after ODST reached 100% installed.
Any one got tips to resolve? Redownload?

Redownload from the US store it seems. The file is larger in the US store and Blue Ninja just confirmed, that it's working after he failed like 3 times.

Change region to US, reboot console and try again.

Sad to hear this, because you could already see that in the "Work In Progress" screenshots and it was something that I wasn't a fan of. Probably has something to do with the crushed black settings of the Xbox One.
