Roleplay? How do you roleplay in a mindless shooter game?

you act like a person from the game and make your own storyline and anything can happen.

yeah, my mental image of you just went from a sixteen year old basement dweller, to a 12 year old pretending to be his favorite superhero...

According to other people's signatures, 98% of America has tried or is addicted to marijuana. If you are part of the 95% of the people who don't live in America, then add this to your signature.

Such ignorance....

Ok, we talking IN GAME role-playing, or we talking a role-playing Group here?

Because if it's the latter, I can tell ya, Halo players aren’t very excited about role-playing (for those of you not in the know, it's basically a post by post [read: anywhere from a short paragraph to a full 10,000 chars, or more] story where the participants take turns writing what their character is doing in the story, be it interacting in some way with the other characters directly, or doing their own thing that adds to the story)

My wife and I tried to make one a while ago, but sadly a combination of lack of skill among the people who were interested and lack of interest in general resulted in failure, though we did get a good ways into a Hunter storyline.

Think of it as a group fan fiction.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Come on. If you're gonna roleplay, embellish it a little.

"I creep up along side a rock just out of your view. Peering around the corner, I see you standing with your gun at the ready, your back facing me, scanning the terrain before you. I stalk noiselessly toward you, reeling back my energy sword for the strike. Just as you sense me behind you and begin to turn around, I bring the energy sword down toward your left shoulder with a mighty overhead swing and..."

Blah blah blah. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it sure makes for a better story if you get creative with it. I've dropped in on a few CE RPG's and although they're strange, they're fun if you can get into it and the players are imaginative.

I assume n357 that you now see why the RPG group I made didn't work?

::Shakes his head in shame, the truth before him::

It's sad really, that such a great story as that of Halo's would not draw more creative people to the B.net forums.

Perhaps uppon release of Halo 3 I will once again help my wife to create an RPG group, hopefully with the massive influx of people, enough of them will be able to participate to make it worthwhile.

While certainly more impressive and better than the original attempt at RPing such long-winded posts is just unsuitable for fast-moving stuff like Halo. While you're sneaking about behind the guy you're almost certainly going to be ninja'd by 5 other guys shooting the first one in the head.

"This thread is an abomination. Let it... burn."

Overhead, Covenant ships opened up in a fury of atomic fire, cleansing it of any possiblility of further RP interactions.

Seeing as this thread's dead, I think I'll make a little story about LARPing for those who are fortunate enough not to have ever heard of the atrocity.

*Ahem* LARPing, or Live Action RolePlaying, is generally played by fat, lonely geekazoids. The typical LARPer can be seen wearing badly made costumes brandishing plastic or wooden weapons. The most popular Roleplay genre for the LARPer is the Dungeons and Dragons series. Although Star Trek may be substituted. Let us now focus on two LARPers engaging in "combat".

Here we have "Gorgoth the Barbarian Wizard King" vs. "Frumchutka the Necromancer Prince" Watch and marvel at the extreme lameness displayed by these two "valiant" combatants.

Gorgoth: Ha ha! I have smitten you with my +2 Mace of Disintegration!
Frumchutka: Wrong! For my Cloak of Disintegration Protection nullifies your attack!
Gorgoth: Well, my Ring of Anti Disintegration Protection nullifies your protection!
Fumchutka: My Amulet of Anti-Anti Disentegration Protection nullifies your anti protection, at the same time reflecting any disintegration attack back at the attacker! You are now dead!
Gorgoth: ... Dammit!

By the way, It's not roleplaying unless there are 20-sided dice!

You're late.

Dude, this thread is dead. The Covenant fleet nuked it from orbit. Glassed. Everyone participating has been reduced to carbonised sheets on shattered rocks or constituent atoms in the air. Wiping out the atmosphere and boiling the oceans, with heat so intense that the surface is a flat scene, with every living organism terminated.

If you want to make a proper role-play thread, do it in the Flood.
