I'm really not surprised, to be honest. All they did was pretty up the graphics.

I heard there was no online split screen. But who cares about the other guy anyways! XD

I would fail to see the point of online splitscreen anyway.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Well, when I have Psycho and Vongola over, we tend to play some Halo on the same console online. Failure to acquire such a feat would result in our complete lack of interest......I think! XD But yeah, having split screen is awesome!

...Wha...What? Friends, family, even baby sitting, to name a few reasons. Dungeon Defenders does this gorgeous thing on PC: It has drop-in/out splitscreen just like the console versions. (Without causing so much as a single skipped frame.) My girlfriend and I have been playing it online and it's been the most fun I've had with video games for years. I'm sure Skyrim will take it's place but that's another topic.

Just dropped in to say, not getting it. Got Halo, got Reach, so I already own this remake. Just saved $100! (Or whatever rip-off price it is over here.)
Good Game
 

Hex: Yes, you've read the book, you've seen the film - now avoid the game like the plague lest your memory of Harry Potter's epic conclusion be tainted by what can only be described as a short, half-arsed cover-shooter that's boring beyond belief.

Bajo: ...It's shit.

Well, if they just remodeled everything in the original, which I think they did honestly, then that would explain it; the original Combat Evolved didn't even have XBox Live capability, you could play local split-screen and, I THINK, system link.

I'd still like to get it, myself, especially since I never played through the original.

Except they supposedly modified the multiplayer so that it's up to par with Reach, including all the armour abilities and whatnot. It wouldn't have killed them to add online splitscreen as well, but I suppose it's a dying trend in the market these days. Oh well, since that's the case, I doubt we'll be playing this game much, if at all.

It's not modified; they ported the Reach multiplayer over completely.

There you go, even less of an excuse not to have it in the game.

It's the whole "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" thing. Which is the strength and fault of the entire game.

And I can see why "The Library" is forever cursed among Halo gamers. My god, that level is obnoxious.

EDIT:

Trooooooooooooll in the dungeon!



Thought you'd want to know. [passes out.]

Tomorrow just may be the last day I play Halo ever. After witnessing the worst glitches ever in a multiplayer match, I flat out had enough. Fuck you, 343 Industries. You and your worthless cop-out trilogy can be tossed into the incinerator for all I care. Bungie wasn't perfect, but goddamn it, at least shit like Drop Shield and Armor Lock were actually useful in combat, shotguns actually were dangerous, IT DIDN'T FUCKING LAG ON 5-BARS SIGNAL!!

So yeah, tomorrow, my copies of 3, ODST and Anniversary are destined for GameStop. I finally had it with them. I'm keeping Reach on only for Firefight matches because those had some measure of success.

Some vague Halo 4 info.

It's a Kotaku article, so some of you guys (Arem, as I'm aware) probably won't be able to view it. It's nothing but boring multiplayer shit anyways, they won't reveal a lick of Campaign details.

This would appear to be Master Chief's final armour design for the coming game. And multiplayer will be duked out with new SPARTANS. SPARTAN-IV's.

Halo 4 has an Australian release of November 4. I expect the US date to be similar, if not identical.

It's the 6th. Not terribly convinced I'm going to get it though. Found out recently Firefight has been axed. That's a way to lose my attention. Of course, Halo in general has been a dying interest of mine for the last several months.
