Evolve as the monster is too damn easy. Played 5 games as the monster and won everytime. My health never went below 4/5th, actually only 1 time they even got into my health, I won with shield left 4 times. The only time there is a threat to loose is stage 1, because if I get to 2 it's over(I max out fire breath and smash). And getting away and evolving is relatively easy. The monster moves faster, jumps far, climbs, sneaks(to avoid footprints). The only time I was ever in danger was when they domed me in stage 1(if they do it in 2 I win). All I had to do was get on top of a high ledge and every time they came up I smashed them or hit them down. After the dome was down I got away.
So in 5 games I only felt threatened 1 time. Needs some nerfing.

Load times are so bad. Once u get matched with people it takes 4 1/2 minutes to actually start the game. That's just bad.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

That's what I always thought since they announced the game.  If you play against some randoms you will proably win with the monster as decent player and if you play against a team of four who play together like a team should (some friends in party chat or so), you will probably have not a big chance as monster. That's how the game will end when it releases.

I can't imagine how they could ever make the game balanced with a 4vs1. Make it a 50:50 chance to win as monster vs. a team and it will be super easy vs. some guys who aren't really a team or give random teams a chance to win against a good  monster player and good teams will win every round against monsters^^

Microsoft axing global advertising sales team, aiming to focus on larger partnerships

Microsoft has apparently laid off its global advertising sales team. The layoffs come from within the Microsoft Advertising division and impacts staff across in offices in the US, UK and and elsewhere. Earlier this week we learned that Microsoft had initiated their third wave of company wide layoffs, a continuation of job cuts started earlier this year.

The global advertising sales team is responsible for selling ad space across Microsoft's MSN, Bing, Xbox, Outlook, Skype and Windows properties. Sources tell Business Insider that Microsoft may be in the process of streamlining their sales effort to work on larger partnerships, rather than spend energy on selling large volumes of ads across its network.

In a statement sent to Business Insider, Microsoft said:

"We've taken another step that will complete almost all the 18,000 reductions announced in July. The reductions happening today are spread across many different business units, and many different countries."

What do you think of the cuts?

My Dream of getting all the Halo achievements died today. RIP

You might be able to get those 3 hour achievements if you play co op with some really good Halo players. 


I don't think so, I've never seen a Halo campaign beaten less than 3 hours without stealth running and glitches. Don't think I'll be able to do that :(
