Both MC and Arbiter suck.

MC sucks because he has no personality in game. He is a mindless (but clever) killing machine. Although he has been given a personality in books, it is as wide as my arsehole which isn't wide i asure you. Also in game 2, he is even worse. All his lines are cheesy one quote american lamers.

Arbiter is an alien, and i don't mean to be all racist here, but i don't particularly like 4 chined 8 foot blood-thirsty bastards. Just like MC, he's personality is nothing but kill, and think how to kill. Also i don't like elites simply because of the fact that they aren't so nice to grunts...

Now, let's come to the real hero of the game: Sergeant Avery Johnson. He is the moral booster, a future version of Master Sergeant of The Army. When the bastard speaks, you listen. He's personality is so fat it wouldn't fit into a Double Spy's Brain.

Oh, and very nice work by the way with the fanfic, can't wait for the next chapter. The new MC bloke sounds like a over confident ancient greek hercules to me, and we all know the fate of those guys...hope he dies anyway...

Hmm, I never really believed the whole "racism running rampant" on Xbox Live, but of course that was before my boredom made me go back through my collection and grudgingly pull out Halo 2 the other night. Now that time has passed, I am of the opinion that 99% of people that play Halo 2 on Live must be in support of segregation.

Big Team Battle and Team Skirmish appear to be the worst affected. Because of my asian name on Live, it is assumed that I am of Asian decent, and most certainly must be living in Japan, or China, or Vietnam. Does this classification bother me? No. I don't really care. What irritates me is when I'm referred to as a "-blam!-" or "Nip", and other wondrous names that the lowest of the low-brow can come up with as they speak.

In one particular game of Assault, after I planted the bomb for my team, during the subsequent round, two of the opposing players informed me that the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were only baby steps, and the entirety of Japan should have been decimated.

I myself am Caucasian, and in no way have any Asian ancestors to the best of my knowledge. Still, this manner of behavior aggrivates me to no end. What is it about the anonymity of Xbox Live that makes people think that it gives them the right to say such idiotic things. I can give pretty good odds that in face-to-face conversations these people wouldn't have the 'balls' to say these things, mostly because it would result in them having to get their teeth surgically removed from their throat after the person finds out racist slurs are a sure-fire way to get an ass-kicking.

Anyways, I devised a method that seemed to at least aggrivate them in return. Inbetween rounds, I was flipping around in my music collection on my laptop, when I came across on old Anime Drama CD file I had a long time ago. For the uninformed, Drama CD's are basically a CD that has voice actors for a particular Anime series doing their lines for an episode. They're fun to listen to when your at work and bored.

So, this particular file has a certain Japanese actress who has the most annoyingly "cute" voice ever. She had a particular line that I knew would send shivers down even the most hardened of people's spines. When the match started in Halo 2, and I found that once again I was being coupled with some more "online racists", I quickly informed my teammates to mute me on their lists, and then removed my headset, laying it down by my laptop's speakers.

I searched for, and found, the particular section with this line, cropped it out and then set it on permanent repeat. Thus the opposing team was given an entire few game filled with,

"Abunai! Abunai! Abunai! Abunai!"

This had the dual effect of giving them an earful of stupid garbage, and also since I no longer had my headset on I was free from whatever retorts they were firing back at me.

Unfortunately I myself could only endure that line in the background for a couple more rounds before giving up and heading out.

Basically I've come to the conclusion that while voice networking in online games is a real life-saver at times, it's definitely also a curse.

From now on I'm going to stay away from the big online modes, and simply play the single player modes, and the other online modes where I'm only talking with one other person of my choosing. Like Splinter Cell co-op, or the upcoming Perfect Dark co-op.

Well, at least now I know I made the right decision to stop playing Halo 2 and other Xbox Live games way back at the start of the year. Saved me from having to endure so many examples of the human race's eventual downward spiral into anarchy and destruction.

Edit:

Now I'm wondering how my sister puts up with it. She's not only got the Asian GamerTag, but she's also a girl. That's gotta be a deadly combination.

Clark, I know exactly what you mean. If you do get the urge to play Halo 2 again, please consider Double Team or Team Slayer; I have luck avoiding racists/bigots by playing these gametypes.

Great fanfic by the way, please keep up the great work. I am a medical student in NYC, so the amount of time I can spend playing Halo or reading fanfics is extremely limited. I find your fanfic to be a refreshing reprieve from the monotony of med school. "The End of a War" beats "Clinical Anatomy and Physiology" any day.

I feel your pain Mr_clark, and everyone else who has endured the harsh racial banter of people with such low self esteem that they can only say racial slurs over XLive.

And yes I voted. I managed to squeeze out a 5. I was tempted to give you a zero... because you're too good and I wanted to make sure your head didn't swell beyond measure. But since I liked your story, and you can back up your writing style flawlessly, I decided to aid in the increase of your ego. LOL.

Just kidding you Mr_Clark. Great job so far. Eagerly awaiting the next.

wow, i dont hav live, but i plan to get it
i was under the impression that most of the people playing live were from the US
but still, how do people get the idea that just because someone has a certain name that they are a certain race?
one things that would probably piss them off is if they thought u were a girl and then they found out u were a guy

when can we expect the next bit of story?

Some people can really be jerks, I don't know why they have to do that.

*Sigh* There seems to be a lot of racist and derogatory comments on live, even with blacklisting. When I feel the urge to swear and curse, I just press the mute button... Is that so hard for people to do? Ah well.. some people will never learn...

Anyway... anyone here played and of the Elder Scrolls games? great way to waste a few month...

I feel ur pain, or a indof ur pain. I dont have an Asian name but my GT is spartakus and there one question that i have been asked millions of times. "Did u get that from the commercial?" i would anwser "No."

There was actually a time when i completely lost it on one guy during a big team battle game, he was on the other team so all i did for the entire game, or most of it, was walk around looking for this guy and everytime i found him i would yell "-blam!- YOU!!!" and kill him.

I share pies.

Xbox live taught me one thing...Be aware of the American mouth, it's fat, eats loads and talks Dark Chocolate...not sweet talk smack.

I stopped playing most modes of matchmaking, the ranked ones, to set an example, and to root out real friends, you know, people you play with you for the fun of it, not the little number next to your GT. I usually only play multiteam, or maybe Team Hardcore, if i play with at least two people i trust.
