Subject: Will this game have balls>?

You know you are spending too much time on Halo 3 when you sit on the can and say BOMB ARMED!! BOMB PLANTED!!

Hilarious.

Yes, Halo could very easily take advantage of the M rating and be extremely gory and have lots of cussing. Neither of those fit well in the Halo atmosphere.

And seriously, if you have been playing Halo since the launch of Combat Evolved I would really hope that by now you would have picked up that Bungie is a company that simply cannot go without humor. A Bungie game without luls all around just wouldn't be the same.

And no, you don't have a valid point. You have a valid opinion, but that doesn't mean it would fit with the games. Neither does it mean you're better than anyone else.

They act all big and tough when their on camera with their friends and their guns. But when you break into their house in the middle of the night and stick a gun barrel in their face. They cry like babies and and piss their pants.

They wouldn't be Halo marines if they weren't cracking jokes and spitting one liners dammnit!

I dont think taking away the humor would b a good idea
think about it:
its halo!
its supposed to b almost ridiculous
its not super realistic
maybe there thould be an "anti-IWHBYD skull"
one that turns off humor and turns on cussing and ppl freaking out or spartans/odst saying badass things

Asking for serious dialogue in an otherwise serious game isn't valid?

Just make it not occur without IWHBYD. I'll never take brutes seriously when they tell me they dont take american express.

If humour is THAT needed, just have it be black humour so it'll fit the whole , ya know, humanity going extinct thing.


It is a valid request and I understand it, but it isn't a "point" at all. It is an opinion. Way to read what I wrote.

They don't say that without IWHBYD.

Ok, we will replace all of the marines voice actors with two guys. And then we will make there dialogue "serious" dialogue only.
So replace all of the humorous unscripted chatter that the marines have had for the last THREE halo games. with stuff like "Marine down!" and "Hostile above us" and "Grenade".
Does that not just sound original and stick to what halo is?

Once again...stop acting like you're more important than everyone else on the site. Everything you've said is only your opinion. Nothing more.

And frankly, you're the only person I've ever seen to complain about the humor and light hearted-ness of Halo.

Ok..here's an example that most everyone is familiar with....Marine: Tank owns Ghost! (you take out a hunter) Tank owns Hunter! (take out the phantom) Tank owns EVERYTHING!


In what mind set would a marine say..."Get Owned!" When he's fighting for his life?

I think as long as spartans are around they marines should stay funny
otherwise they have no purpose!
they'll just getted owned anyways
so might as well go down making us laugh
it might b nice if odst was serious
just for that one game
it certainly looks a lot darker than halo
and odsts SHOULD NOT be cracking jokes
leave it to the marines

The U.S. Marines have that attitude quite frequently. After a victory you'll hear lots of cheering and some "Ooo-Rah!"s.

no, really?

Maybe I did that for a reason, as if showing that your post was irrelevant?

Considering both my post and your post is true, you can't exactly complain, because of the content of my post, regardless of whether or not I copy/pasted your words and changed a few.

Do they also say.."Dude, stop staring at me; there isn't a party going on in my pants" - I particularly liked that one when his buddy just got blown up by a plasma grenade.

the marines wisecrack because they're badass. they didn't get where they were by crying every time someone got shot. they're soldiers, they expect that kind of thing. besides, i would imagine that during a battle the adrenaline would make them a little crazy.

however, i think all of those strange jokes and wisecracks are simply bungie's method of providing comic relief for the player. sure, in real life soldiers probably don't act in the same manner, but Halo is a game and an experience, not real life. and if they kept every single aspect of it serious and dramatic, it wouldn't be a good experience for the player. you need little things like wisecracks to keep you from wanting to slit your wrists while playing the game.

i wouldn't mind a little more blood and such in the game though. for an M rated game, it is pretty light on the violence compared to other games. it's not that big of a deal though

1) Computer A.I. has not advanced to the point where N.P.C. Interaction can be entirely unscripted and is effected by everything. the processing power and development time is not there.

2) In real life, that is EXACTLY what the army talks like to eachother.

3) in Reference to point number one, the only time the marines in Halo ever really speak is in scripted sequences, when they are kicking ass, actually dying themselves, or when the player interacts with them. 2 out of four of those are guaranteed to bring positive, and sometimes stupid reactions.

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

In the previous Halo games, Marines felt more confident and light hearted even in the most dire situations...because a Spartan was there.

Remember, regular marines saw the Chief as godly, as the one who could kill all the baddies in the area without breaking a sweat, and was invincible.

In Reach, the marines will probably be cracking even more jokes and laughing because there's more spartans, not just only the chief.

Your responses lack a meaningful interpretation of the concept at hand... I'm sure you know EXACTLY how the army talks to each other. Right?
