I totally get that there will be unforeseen issues with stuff. I understand that with technology, it’s not as simple as hitting a single button that gives everyone everything instantly with absolutely no hiccups.
But on the subject of instant gratification… 343i could have done a lot more to make sure that the Limited Edition holders got their content that they payed for in advance. Gamestop, and Microsoft wanted our money before the game even came out. So how’s that for instant gratification?
The point is, I’ve got no problem waiting a few hours for something. Being an Xbox 360 owner, I learned a long time ago that a release date does not mean that anything is available right at midnight the second that day begins. I’m used to this kind of stuff, but that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to be a little bit miffed about it. The Limited Edition was actually pretty lack-luster, and the only real reason I got it was for the map pass. So I am a little butthurt that I’m not able to receive content I’ve already payed money for. But I’ve got work today and I have real life issues that need to be attended to, so luckily I won’t have the chance to sit here on the internet and bitch about it for hours and hours like the rest of the community.
Go outside guys. Take a walk. Bake a cake! Play some campaign, or forge or do something constructive instead of just sitting online flipping your shit over a system that you don’t even understand the inner workings of.
And most importantly. Just shut the fuck up.

Halo 3 had Elephants.
Does this beast have a name yet?
Until it’s given one, I’m calling it the Wooly Mammoth.

Look at this detail. Look closely. Click the source to see the full sized image.
Look at this HUD.
It’s got subtle little tics and notches, numbers and informations, indents from the visor, and probably my favorite little aspect, in the bottom corners, you can actually see the metal of Chief’s helmet.
You are The Master Chief.
343i wasn’t joking around when they said they wanted this new armor to feel like a fighter jet.
Look at it. Dear God.
Bravo 343i. I am so very impressed already with your game.

Well it wasn’t as bad as Microsoft’s.
I don’t think Nintendo “won” E3 though. Not until we see what they’ve got to offer tomorrow.
Sony’s #1 this year so far.
Nintendo last year: We got two screens for consoles now.
Sony and Microsoft this year: OH YEAH US TOO NOW
One more thing, when the Promethean Watcher spins Chief’s Grenade around and flings it back at him (which is awesome by the way) there is a Grenade Indicator that flashes on the HUD like in Call of Duty (and other games I’m sure).
It wasn’t so big as to take away from the overall HUD, but it was just big enough to actually be of some use.
I like.
Another thing I just noticed.
When the Promethean Knight ambushes Chief, and he does that badass “FUCK YOU” Noble 6 style face punch on the dude, Chief is left without a gun afterwards.
So what does he do? HE PUTS HIS HANDS UP FOR A GOOD OLD FASHION ROUND OF FISTICUFFS.
No, John is ready for a mother fucking brawl. It’s time to throw down.
That is amazing.
Something I just now noticed while watching the E3 Demo on Halo Waypoint.
Halo 4 has that, I don’t know what the term for it is… That thing from Call of Duty.
Hit Acknowledgment? I dunno.
Point is, when Chief shot those Grunts, four little ticks in an X surrounded his reticle to show “SUP DUDE YOU TOTALLY SHOT THAT BRO.”
That’s cool. That’s one thing I’ve always liked about Call of Duty.
That’ll really come in handy in Multiplayer too. Finally I’ll know if I’m actually hitting mother fuckers from 8,994 miles away.
