Official OMGHALO4OMG First day discussion thread

[Anarchy]

Now if only they'd fix the damn server issues... I can't connect to anyone.

[VerbotenDonkey]

I kind of don't like how you have to unlock emblems ... only 12 emblems to start with? >_> Why would they need to be unlocked? I can understand some for the Specializations, but unlocking them through rank is kind of dumb.

[Anarchy]

Agreed... The emblem I always use isn't available at level 4, kind makes me angry.

[Nocte]

Dominion = Favorite Halo Gametype ever!!!!

[xXReiBearXx]

Day one and already server issues? Epic Fail

Day one and already server issues? Epic Fail

Happens with ALL major titles on their launch. Can't blame them.

[Lol its James]

Yeah as he said, Ubisofts Assassins creed 3 had horrible servers to the point where I couldn't even put in my preorder codes, happens a lot. Now it's perfect

[Coda]

Yeah, when you have a surge of thousands of people all at the same time.. yeah, can't blame them. It should be fixed soon :) I can't wait to play it. I can't look up any more halo 4 stuff, though. It's driving me insane. I was looking at the new Halo Waypoint stuff... I felt like I was going to explode...

[Anarchy]

Meh, servers seem to have just fixed themselves. Although lobbys are still a bit whack.

Multiplayer anyone?

[Nocte]

Have you guys noticed that whenever you complete a challenge it doesn't seem to go into your exp?

[H2O Yordle]

Server issues are annoying TT_TT

[KazuhLLL]

I hadn't. That sucks.

I've given up on the "Get 10 regicides in one match" challenge because by the time I got 7 or 8, I had won the game :P

[Mythonian]

So after a full day of work, I finally got the game...

Streaming now! (but I gotta install it and everything first...)

[Specact]

It took me forever to be able to play online. Finally able to and it's been great. Only problem now is I can't connect to my friends.

Yeah, I've been having the same problem. And my school has a strict NAT, so that's not helping anything.

[VerbotenDonkey]

32 - 7, 4 triple kills
Yeah 5 games in and almost all of them have been 3.0 kdr lol. Shotgun has too far of a range lol

[Coda]

I'll have halo 4 in my Xbox tomorrow morning (maybe around 10:00. But that would be 1:00 EST... So, not morning.. But still!)

[MedeDust]

Last night the servers were amazing. No phoenix emblem!:(

Not even unlockable?

[MedeDust]

I have no idea i didnt see it so far, theres going to be a riot.

And REDWATCH will be on the front lines

[SuRroundeD By 1]

Already had a game where I went 35 and 0 XD

I got an Invincible medal but for some reason it didn't give me a perfection medal :( Actually, I'm not even sure they have a perfection medal haha, but maybe it's just because I got it in Big Team and it didn't count.

Anyway, games awesome! Except for the kill cams get annoying. Not because they are there, but because when they show your opponent killing you, their crosshairs aren't always on you and it becomes a "WTF he didn't hit me!" moment, although he did it just doesn't show you correctly.

The AR is finally buffed enough to use, especially on Abandoned and Adrift. The BR plays nicely and the DMR . . . well it's there . . . not a fan of the Covenant weapons, they aren't very powerful . . . but the Light Rifle is pretty good!

Oh, and I beat the Campaign! Warning, spoiler ahead.
I cried when Cortana 'died'

[Choca Cola]

Spent my time watching my brother and his friends make complete fools of themselves after watching them get about a -8 K/D on all of their games, but out of what I've played it's amazing!

[VerbotenDonkey]

I have no idea i didnt see it so far, theres going to be a riot.

I have no idea why they would keep the Coffee Cup Emblem and not add the Wolf and Phoenix >_> Doesn't make sense to me, those two are widely used every game.

[Graycochea]

Why is everyone freaking out over the emblems? Are they really that important to people?

[VerbotenDonkey]

Well 343 boasts customability, yet cuts a lot of the emblems, which people have become attached to over the years as picking a certain emblem as their own. Not to mention, for many the emblems represent something, such as Clan Emblems.

[Mythonian]

They have different "sets" of emblems. In the first set is 14. The 2nd set increases it up to 30 (near SR20 or so I think). There's probably another two sets as well, so don't worry until you know for certain.

[Graycochea]

^^The voice of Reason^^

[Abrupt]

Im a level 40 for the Spartan IV Specialization and the Phoenix emblem is yet to be found. I have 43 foregrounds and 32 backgrounds!

If Im not mistaken, I think level 50 is the highest level (which I hope isn't true). Anyway, Im sure the emblem will be in the game. I don't see why 343 would remove it.

Ill keep you guys updated!

As for my emblem I made one of my own!! I love it!! Its basic but Im sure no one else has it! xD

[zZ Dr K Zz]

My clover is still there?

RIGHT?!

Right?


:(


Anyways, didn't play it at midnight, but just beat the campaign on Heroic (Time: 6hr 16 mins 40secs) :) Enjoyed the campaign, felt like H1 in most ways. I'm definitely interested to see where they take the story. This game didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth compared to the dreadful Halo 3.

Can't wait to check out the MP tomorrow!

[Silko]

DMR = massive pwnage

[Specact]

It goes to level 50 then you pick a specialization. Then there are 10 levels per specialization I think.

[KazuhLLL]

Indeed. So your SR rank can go all the way to SR-130.

I'll just leave this here xD

[Puba]

Got halo 4 limited edition at midnight . Didn't play it until 5:30 in morning and beat it at 11 o clock EST haha xD it's a amazing game !

[MedeDust]

I'm just glad i stuck Yehsus in the face last night.

[Specact]

Anyone else think the Beam Rifle is amazing for close range?

[FPS Patriot]

Spent my day playing cap the flag and managed to get an overkill. Pretty awesome time in Halo so far.

He got the game early. It's acceptable.

[Lil Nawty Lucia]

I've been playing lots of dominion, only wish I had a better team sometimes. Although I think we may have made a record we won a game in about a minute.

Here's an image of all emblem foregrounds that I found on reddit: http://i.imgur.com/dDkeY.jpg

The wolf is there, but the phoenix doesnt appear to be. However, under "Other" there is a UNSC eagle emblem which could work, assuming that it's not part of any preorder bonuses...
