I got The Walking Dead Episode 1 for free. I like it, but I want a retail copy, so I'm waiting on that to drop to $10.

What will you do with the War Games pass? I refuse to pay for XBL Gold again, I'm sick of MS and their greed.

Look at my post history and look at yours and tell me who feels the need to troll and attack others in order to validate themselves.

edit: and to clarify I don't count getting into an argument as attacking. People can voice out their opinion and disagree. What is a symbol of stupidity though is when a person makes a troll thread and like minded people flood in to agree with the thread without offering any valid points all while perpetuating mistruths. It is basically one big circle jerk to make weak minded people feel better about their choices and is something that certain groups on this site love to do.

Played a few games of Halo 4. The new maps are really amazing.

However, I didn't see anything about a CSR rank or ranked playlists so I'm guessing it's true that you have to go to Halo Waypoint to see your rank...which is utterly useless.

Seriously that pisses me off and it's making me seriously considering to not play Halo 4 until they add in a legitimate ranking system like Halo 3. I really don't understand why they thought not adding any sort of skill ranking system in the game would be a good idea or why they think it was a good idea to add in that pathetic, lazy attempt of one 5 months later. It's just so stupid.

I refuse to pay full price for it but my favorite games and my close friends are on xbox so I get 12 month cards pretty cheap if I can find them. Whether I continue with it next gen depends on a couple factors. If all my games on demand and xbl arcade games work and they do more to add value to the gold membership, like allow you to play arcade games on pc's/tablets etc then I will keep my membership. If not I will pick the console that has the best value for my needs.

edit: oh and I would get the war games pass for the map packs if their any good. Not sure if they are though, I have to look into it.

This is just my opinion but I think the first map pack is not very good at all, the second map pack is pretty good, and the third map pack is almost up there with the best Halo maps that I've played.

Something tells me 'halo week' is a PR attempt to offset 'bad press week.'

This is what happens when you don't respond to anything --even as your employees go crazy on twitter.

Good move.

MS needs to try to save the MP in Halo 4... the actual population is horrible.

The good news is after the new DLC out the daily peak population increased from 36k to 44k... I will check this states to see if this new deal can increase even more the Halo 4 MP.

PS. The new maps looks like the best in Halo 4... remember Halo 2.

That's good to hear. I'll definitely look into getting it when the war games pass is cheaper then.

One thing Halo 4 is severely lacking is remakes. Every Halo game has had a healthy dose of them except Halo 4. One of the best things about Reach was the Anniversary maps, those maps are classics that never get old. I want those in Halo 4 or other classic maps from Halo 2 and 3.

Indeed. A gardian remake would be amazing.
