I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

Posted by: TheUseless0nekid, all you've proven is that you suck ass at Halo.

Don't get a hardon from that.


COuld you point this out, specifically where I did that? Maybe actually say something worth a damn in this argument, because so far, none of you have. -blam!-, I'm not even anti-armorlock, and I have better knocks against it that you guys.

And who are you calling a "kid", cream puff?
Csb. Heres a question for you. Wheres your 50? Whats that? Dont have one? You suck ass.

And way to get buttmad from being called a kid over the internet, kid.


If you want to dig through my game history, feel free (it'll take you a while to find them) but I've whopped my share of 50s to know that such a measurement is a JOKE. You think trueskill works? Dig through the H3 forum from a few years ago; you won't find much love for it by anyone but a few generals.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Ah, the good old days. It's hard to tell if pre-Reach hate or post-Reach hate is funnier.


I wouldn't know. I hate Reach. lol
To each their own, I say. Though, I must add, for someone who hates Reach, you sure do play it a lot.


'Tis true. Basically, I have a few friends who play it so I figure I'll just play it with them when they want.

I will also play when I am extremely bored and no better options present themselves. It just depends on what I'm feeling.

I will play it, but I dislike the design choices. I like to describe Reach as an adequate game. It's not the worst game I've ever played, but I wouldn't call it good. I don't really hate the multiplayer for this reason. I still see potential in it to improve. I do, however, despise the campaign. That's a whole 'nother thread, though.

Do you kind of get what I'm saying? I know it sounds kind of ass-backwards, but it's the best I can describe my feelings on the game at the moment.

Why is it that all the morons like you and Burritosenior Junior over there have Bungie dick-riding titles? It's kind of sad, really. It's like mommy buying you a lollipop so you don't tell social services about her drinking habit and rampant promiscuity.

That's right, I just compared Bungie to a two-dollar whore. You mad, dick-riders?

You should read on some past pages; I was calling every plebeian who said something stupid by some pastry name or another. No edits on most of them.

Wait, what's a BurritoSenior Junior? Is that at Taco Bell? I prefer the 2 dollar meal deals. I have no idea how they make money off it, I mean you go to Chili's and the drink by itself is about that much.

No really though, what's a Burrito Senior Junior?

Also, don't lie. You know it happens, just stating the obvious. You probably shouldn't say umad? That usually means... well... that umad. Also please refrain from using neckbeard and jelly, they only make you look like a bumbling moron in the eyes of a passerbyer.

Trueskill is perfect. Play Arena (uses Trueskill) for a little while and you'll be getting the most even matches of your life.

When you get picked on in school do you call them cream puffs? Lol this kid must get his ass kicked a lot, he's like a fountain of insecurity.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

No, I get exactly what you are saying. I absolutely love Reach, but that doesn't mean I don't see it's flaws. I'm a Halo fanboy, I admit, but I am not blind to the problems that exist nor against improvement.

They are simply garbage. Nothing more.

Armor Lock is an abomination to the 'smarter combat' that AA's supposedly breed.

Look at this senselessness. Is that Halo? Is that really the game we've come to love and know? Sure, AL can and does make you think about how you're going to use it and/or battle someone using it. The thing is, the logic and reasoning involved in doing so is pre-school level at most. Anyone can play good with Armor Lock, and anyone can play good against it. The problem is that you simply shouldn't be denied what you've earned, and Halo really shouldn't be played that way. If you get a cross-map stick, the guy stuck should be dead. This same logic should also be applied to minor situations and annoyances.

Sword Block. "Adapt." Sure, good suggestion. I'll just start using my Sword mid or long range. I'm the best Sword-sniper there is. "Now it's balanced." No, now it's an Assault Rifle. You have no reason to rush or setup for it. You've turned a deadly power weapon that brought flourishing movement to the map into a near-worthless and completely random poking stick that isn't really worth wasting your time going for. "Oh, well just adapt to situations and use it like a 'sneaky ninja'. Look, you have 2 nuclear grenades in your pocket, an Assault Rifle that is so easy that guest can master it (in AR starts), or a DMR that takes 5 super quickly spammed shots in close range (in DMR starts). We have enough counters to this power weapon. The funny thing is, power weapons don't need counters at all, at least in DMR starts where power weapons (and much more) isn't broken.

Sword and Sprint is not an overpowered combination, and even if it was, hello, why not just increase the weapon draw time on the sword? You're taking a problem and fixing it indirectly. This ruins other aspects of the game. Go for a direct approach, for Christ's sakes.

Stop trying to turn Halo in to something it's not. Adding broken, illogical, and flat out retarded game mechanics is not the answer to giving Halo depth and skillful prerequisites. I really enjoy Reach, but there is seriously way too many things that are making it feel like Halo: Combat Dissolved.




You get an F for being unoriginal.

Come back when you acually have something to complain about.

Debates are like jaw breakers; you eat away at one layer, only to find another lying beneath. Also, they cause people to choke up and die sometimes. True story.


Posted by: Zomechin
Posted by: IronGlorfindel
Sword block is fine. Perhaps a bit illogical, but it's hard to place and if you can do that, more power to you. Now, since that guy obviously had Alock, you could have simply walked off the edge, and ran away.
I should have ran away.

Really, now?

Yeah, I mean it's not like his statement proves AL's overpowered-ness, or anything... >.>

If that's so, why is your K/D and W/L so bad?


The main reasons are that I played a lot of grifball (hella fun), and that I have a world away from playing Halo, so I'd play sporadically (I'd get into it and do well, go away for a while and do big people stuff) and come back rusty, playing for reasons that aren't trying to inflate my sense of self worth via k/d w/l.
