Halo beating Call of Duty in a People's Choice? Wow the CoD players must finally be getting tired of all that repetitiveness.
edit - oh and btw, Microsoft gave me my codes for the rest of the specializations today and now I'm back in the game. Booyah!
That's good to hear.
Also coming this Monday...
Since the descriptions didn't mention matchmaking specifically, hopefully they'll be unlockable in custom games like some of the DLC ones in Reach were, because some of them look really unreasonable.

Also I just want to get done with my current armor specialization. I chose it when I only had two options but now that I have all of them I want to get Pathfinder so bad so I can run faster with turrets. 🙁

Your voice message made me laugh out loud for real. You crazy pony-man thing.

Originally posted by NewjakWhatever you do pick Pioneer last unless you're one of those that want to reach max level faster. I am currently a rogue because the stable scope when shot sounds broken when combined with the fact you do not unscope when shot. i'm going to pick engineer after I'm through with rogue because me gusta the thought of kwowing where and when the map's random ordnance drops.

Awesome! CoD zombies wont be pleased and will probably call for a recount!
Now that classes are done and my exams aren't for another week, I've gotten around to playing this game much more.
Spartan Ops is amazing. I realsied my previous annoyances came from playing it at 5am after doing pretty badly at some MP games. I now love it.
And the MP is just damned addicting. It's great. And I'm doing very well in it. I still use hologram pretty much exclusively, so useful.

Love Spartan Ops. I always liked SpecOps on CoD but Spartan Ops add more to the storyline which is awesome. It doesnt hurt that u can use double xp on Spartan Ops. 11,900 and usually it doesn't matter if u have 10 kills or 50.
There was an update last night and this is what it did:
• Implemented general stability improvements
• Fixed glitch where quickly reloading after firing the Boltshot resulted in an instant reload
• Fixed glitch where sprinting prior to activating the Hardlight Shield allowed players to move faster
• Fixed glitch were players could throw a grenade and then immediately sprint afterwards to perform a high velocity grenade
• Fixed glitch where Mantis could fire more rockets without reloading if the machine gun was fired partway through unleashing the charged missile barrage
• Fixed issue where DLC was unavailable for other profiles on the same console
• Fixed issue where DLC disappeared after console reboot
• Fixed issue where players could not unlock Campaign completion achievements when using a rally point other than Alpha for any mission to finish the Campaign
• Fixed issue where players were not given credit for completion of a Spartan Ops Episode Difficulty Challenge when completing it through Matchmaking
• Fixed issue where players with 99 or more Xbox LIVE friends could not get File recommendations
• Fixed issue where loadout configurations were lost if the game was booted and then powered off before passing the “Press START” screen
• Fixed issue where attempting to upload large films to the File Share under poor network conditions caused the upload to fail
• Improved time to load variants with separate profiles
• Fixed issue where moving a profile from one controller port to another after relaunching the game reset loadout settings
• Improved consistency of random ordnance navigation marker display
• Fixed performance issues when launching Halo Waypoint from Halo 4
Glad to see 343 is hard at work.
Edit Also this:
While Monday has a reputation for being the worst day of the week, that perception is about to change because on December 17, we’re joining forces with Virgin Gaming and Xbox 360 to bring you the chance to win a UNSC-themed truck and/or a cameo in a future Halo game. Officially called the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge, this tournament will give you a shot at winning a real life vehicle (you virtual vehicles can suck it!) and one of more than 2,800 total prizes. What exactly will it take to score some sweet Halo swag? Why, I thought you’d never ask!
The Halo 4 Infinity Challenge on Xbox LIVE will bring gamers the biggest and most accessible Halo tournament in the world. This free-to-enter tournament will track your personal score in War Games and the number of Spartan Ops chapters you complete on global leaderboards, and your progress with relevant Halo 4 Challenges. The War Games leaderboard winner will walk away with a UNSC-themed, V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor truck designed by our artists here at 343, the Spartan Ops winner will secure an appearance in a future Halo game (don’t blame me if you end up being naked and blue), and the Challenge winners will get a prize pack.
Assuming you find the aforementioned prizes appealing, register today by visiting the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge website (please note localized registration sites will be available on December 12). If you’d like to get into the nitty-gritty of how everything will work, continue reading.
The qualifier phase will take place December 17 - January 10. For that part of the tournament, you will need to climb the ranks of the global leaderboards by competing in either the Spartan Ops or War Games leaderboard. After the qualifier phase, players will be tiered into three groups (Tier 1: Consisting of the top 10% of players competing, Tier 2: Consisting of the next 11-40% of players competing, and Tier 3: Consisting of the bottom 60% of players competing) and will enter the finals phase. The finals phase will start on January 12 and end on January 19. You can also participate in Weekly Challenges for a chance to win great prizes.
During the finals, the leaderboards will reset and prizes will be awarded to the top performers in each tier. While the prizes within all three tiers will rock your socks, the grand prizes will be offered exclusively for those that have battled their way to the top tier.
For tournament and registration information, please visit: www.halo4infinitychallenge.com. Your score will only be tracked from the time you register, so sign up now, Spartans!

Shameful! lol I thought about doing that too but then I got cooler helmets. I need maybe 6 assassinations more to get that one though.
