Honestly I personally thought this one had the most thought put into it. Sure, all the other stories were great, but this was just takes the cake. It was probably the longest, had the most suspense, best descriptions, and had some HUGE twists in it. It's hard to do that in a short story.

Agree, disagree? Discuss.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

The Return was my favourite, but the Mona Lisa was fantastic.

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

Brains beats brawn get used to it

Fear the Red Comet

Variety is the spice of life.
Long live games.
Death to all fanboys.

I preferred the story about Cole more so, but that's just me I suppose.

I would have liked the return more if I hadn't seen it on waypoint first, and Cole was pretty interesting, but I did skip half of it since the biography part was pretty boring :/

Mona Lisa was way to predictable for me. I knew who was going to betray who and the scenario was also really foreseeable. The characters were solid though.

IMO Dirt was a lot better. More likable characters and a better story. The one with Cole was also better IMO.

I loved Headhunters. The dark, stealthy mission approach gets me every time.

I prefered the one with Cole in it. That's not to say I didn't like Mona Lisa.

... except for that bit where the Flood spreads through bites. What's the point of infection forms if regular old Romero rules will do?

the reason that i haven't ranked up anymore in H3 is simple.
if im general and lose a single game, i will get about 20 messages asking me how much i paid for the 50 on ebay.

The Razor.

For the honour of the Mirratord.

Human Weakness was my personal favourite, followed by The Impossible Life and Possible Death of Preston J. Cole and Headhunters. The Mona Lisa was one of the better stories, but far from the best.
