Halo 4 Message Board older than one year ago

You think you got what it takes to make it into our weekly Top 10 kills? Watch this video to find out how.

Called the Halo 4 Combat Tour Offer, Microsoft will offer 10,000,000 Points in total throughout the month, awarded to players based on how much time theyve spent playing the game.

#halo So Microsoft is running a new promotion. It's called the "Halo 4 Combat Tour," and its purpose is to encourage you to play lots of Halo and buy lots of Halo-related things. More »

#watchthis Halo 4 released just yesterday, and I'm sure many of you have already picked it up. But for those of you who are wondering what new guns, armor abilities and other gadgets 343's first take on the Halo franchise is introducing, this video is for you. More »

Xbox Live Rewards is offering free Microsoft Points to players who plunge their lives into Halo 4 multiplayer. There's a maximum 800 MSP up for grabs, 600 of it for playing 140-plus hours of Halo 4 multiplayer, and 200 for spending at least 3000 MSP on Halo Marketplace content. The catch? You've got until November 30 to put in the time.

If you like freebies but don't like the idea of a whole month playing one game's multiplayer, the good news is you get 300 MSP for playing 70 hours, and 100 MSP for 35 hours. And if you only have 1500 MSP spare for Halo stuff this month, you still get 100 MSP back. You should note Microsoft says there's a maximum 10 million MSP on offer, on a "first-come, first-serve basis."

FYI, clocking in 140 hours of Halo 4 mulitplayer by the end of the month equates to just under six hours each day. That's roughly a third of your waking life in November. To put that in persp... what's that? Oh, right. See you in December, then.

You may have heard recent tell of a certain tall green man’s return to the videogame shoot-o-sphere. He’s technically called John, and – contrary to popular belief – he’s related to RPS’ resident owner of that moniker in name and combat prowess only. Unfortunately, in spite of the fact that Halo 4‘s apparently one of the best in the series’ billowing legacy, Microsoft’s not too keen on telling its Master Chief chefs to serve up a helping of the new adventure on our humble, Halo-starved biggest gaming platform on Earth. You’d think the big M would at least consider it, too, seeing as it’s trying valiantly to push Windows 8 as a gaming platform at the moment. That, however, does not appear to be the case.

If you're playing that Halo 4 game today - and have an American Express card - you'd do well to watch the video above. American Express is offering cash off your bill, gift certificates to Best Buy and other retailers, select deals with partner companies like AMC Theaters, and a chance to go to E3 on their dime, simply for playing Halo 4.

After syncing your card with your Xbox Live account, you can complete special objectives in Halo 4 to earn the goods - well, okay, the objectives aren't that special. Finishing the campaign on Normal or tougher difficulties will knock $25 off your statement. Completing a Spartan Ops mission will get you a voucher for $50 at Best Buy when you spend $100, and if you want that free trip to E3 you need to be one of the first 25 to finish the campaign solo on Legendary.

Knowing you guys, it's too late for that last one already.

#halo So much of Halo 4, like the rest of the series, is busy. Lots of action, lots of colours, lots of stuff all over the screen. So this concept art from the game is a refreshing break, stripping things back to let us see the game's enemies and locations on nothing but a field of white. More »

Some Halo 4 players are reporting problems connecting to the game's multiplayer servers. Users on the Halo Waypoint forum are apparently encountering a "server unavailable" error when attempting to connect to multiplayer matches.

The Xbox Live status page reflected the issue earlier today, though at the time of this writing it indicates that all services are up and running. We were able to play two online matches without a hitch, but users are still reporting problems, including being unable to join games, play with friends or access their unlocked loadouts.

Microsoft is aware of the issue, and Xbox Live guru Major Nelson informs Joystiq that the Halo team is working to resolve it.
