People Die..But Spartans Live Forever!

Delta Squad X

Because alot of people think that Master Chief the main halo characters name is Halo lol. Like alot of young kids and young teens refer to master chief as halo and that gets on my nerves, which is why i dont post on the forums alot, and i dont play a whole lot of multiplayer. Id rather play the campaigns over and over or just play a few buddies here at my house. Its much more satisfying, yea the medals and awards are cool and fun to get but over time it gets pointless. I have the original Xbox with my original bought halo game, and i have halo 2 collectors edition which i pre-ordered, and i have the halo 3 legendary edition which i preordered, i have halo wars collectors edition, i also have halo 3 odst collectors edition pre-ordered as well. I love the halo games and story they actually tell. I dont have the books but i would like to get them. I want to know all i can about the halo universe, and idc if other people flame me for it, thats just what im into. Like someone else said some people love football, and others love nascar and others love star wars, mine is Halo! I spend alot of money on halo and its extras. Halo 3 edition xbox 360 console, also. Just because i dont have 20,000 halo 3 games played online does not mean i dont know anything about halo. I have been playing halo since 2001. I will play halo even after they stop making it. I am 25 years old if anyone is wondering lol. Im not some young kid. I also have a website dedicated to halo if you want to check it out, go to http://www.upon-1.com , that website design was made and coded by me. Anyway i went to my ramble and i couldnt stop lol. But to answer the OP's question, halo fans may not know a whole lot about halo, but there is enough of us that do, that can tell them they are wrong!

Most people only know what the games show, if that isn't good enough for you than I don't know what to say.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Its a game you don't need to know anything about it...

most people don't even know what the games show.

Reach is clearly mentioned at the start of Halo CE.

Everyone is now saying.

'Mastur Chef's going to reach olol I saw it in the legendaary ending'

most people just see the big green guy and the big gun and think thats it.


Well duh, do you think a person who has Xbox Live and can play halo whenever they want will want to stop and read every book. Im a true Fan since i read them.

You can't experience true Halo action unless you read the books.

I'm impressed by your modesty.

Anyone can be a "fan" of the Halo series, not just those that read the books.

...

For me, the technical and gameplay aspect of Halo as a videogame, is alot more impressive and joyful than the Halo story. If i want great science fiction ill watch Star Wars.

yea!! halo is such a cool guy!!! and he kills dinosors!!


He he.... I used to think Chief's name was Halo lmao....that was 7 years ago.

But I agree, I was playing Ledgendary difficulty on Tsavo Highway with some of my friends... and one of them didn't have a clue. Suppposedly the Warthog is called the car... the Chopper the motorbike.... and the Drones were called Wasps.

I just hate the people who make up very elaborate theories about either time travel or a cameo appearance by a character that's either dead or lightyears away. For example, the Halo:Reach banner seen above this forum. Most people just assume that all of the silhouettes are Spartans. This seems like a very ignorant thing to do, assuming that we know nothing about the game. I can even disprove that theory by pointing out that the figure second from the right is too small to be a Spartan in MJOLNIR armor.


Or, just maybe, they bothered to zoom in on the picture and saw that the small figure clearly has a visor and armour, aswell as every figure in that banner.

Spartans don't have a fixed size, and neither does MJOLNIR armour.
Sam is a head taller than John, and Kelly is smaller than the rest of the Spartans.
I know you probably already read them, but just for a little irony, go read the books =P

I think alot of people are afraid of being called nerdy. I once said the Prophets were San'Shyuum (or however they're spelt) since the whole race aren't prophets.

Well, my friend beside me looked at me in a wierd way and told me to call them Prophets.
I then annoyed him by pointing out every races name as said in the book =D
The funny thing is, he asked me what Lekgolo was.

Most people don't care about the story, which is fine.
I only care about when people don't care when they waste forum space and piss off people are annoyed that they have to repeat themselves for the millionth time.

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

GT: Clerks

Because the Halo games do not expose much of the lore when compared to the books. And if I am going to be reading a book, then it is unlikely that I am going to seek out a glorified fanfic.

Ask me a question.

I have forgotten more that you will ever know about 'Halo' and I am just a 'member'. Try me, I dare you.

You're so cool because you now more about a fictional universe than other people. Way to succeed at life! You don't have to read the silly books to like the games.

But I AM a real fan! *sob sob sob*

  • 06.09.2009 3:38 PM PDT

o my god man. has anyone else noticed how many very angry people post in here?

anyone can be a fan even if they have only played halo 3. if you want to read the books go for it but don't slag others off because they don't know every little detail. anyone is allowed to speculate over what hidden clues may be on the trailers.

if all you guys were such dedicated fans of halo instead of scaring new comers off you would welcome them and explain what they don't know instead of biting their head off if they get it wrong

To all the dumbass, quoting me and saying they know everything. If you read, i clearly post not every time

Whats up with Spartans calling Elites Dinosaurs? I mean Spartans are the ones almost extinct! XD

The thing is the game itself is good enough to get people playing without the storyline but the storyline itself is so immense and rich with the characters and stuff. I kind of feel sorry for anyone who doesnt look into the story of the Halo universe :l. The game Halo is not one sided, there are many things to it that attract people to play it from the gameplay, popularity, story, etc.

Because a large majority of those that play Halo only do so because it is a great FPS. In the grand scheme of things very few actually give a rip about what is going on, just as long as the gameplay is entertaining and they get their BR slayer in high doses they are good to go.

yeah but it has a great story as well. Story ftw

Time travel theories give me a headache.
