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?
LMFAO at "cream puff." What kind of loser actually talks like that?


Couldn't have said it better myself.

Still waiting on a reason for not being able to get a 50


One post above yours for starters. Again, you can dig through my social, non-grifbal/ action sack stuff and probably find enough wins in social to probably earn a 50 if I played ranked. Just a theory though.
Why are you implying social games matter? Theres a reason almost no general in Social is taken seriously. If youre proud of beating them and think that doing so means you could get a 50 then youre delusional.


Oh right. I forgot how social slayer, objective, and BTB were SO much different than their ranked counterparts... You know, other than the number.

Let's see, there was... Uh... They had that one gun that wasn't in.... wait, no... They had that map that.... No that's not it either...

I don't mean to jump into your argument, but Slayer, Objective, and BTB were all enormously different at 50 high compared to Social.

If you never give up, you never lose.

Two things i have to say about the video:

-The only issue I saw with it was that the EMP range of AL is a tiny bit too large.

-You could have had him if you had lunged. I know, you shouldn't have to be super natural to get a kill with a sword, but you could have had him.

Sure, sword block is annoying, but I think it's fair. It's still powerful enough to be called a power weapon and sword block leaves you with one block of health. If your teammates had been there to support you, you would have had the kill. Sword block encourages teamwork.

I do think the sword needs a buff, but not in removing sword block. I actually think the sword draw time is too slow. sword + sprint is in fact a bit overpowered, and I think it needs to be able to be blocked. The odds of you surviving are small, as you will be left with 1 block (if you can time it perfectly that is) Those that do get killed after being swordblocked make threads like this. This mechanic is what balances the sword vs the shotgun a bit, because you can't shoot the shotgun while sprinting.

Bungie worked out their weapon balance neatly in their weapons. Some mechanics are annoying, but they are fair, especially to teamwork.

The only thing that sets your rant apart from other "hurr I haet AL and bloom and AA's and campaign and the game yet i play it" threads is a funny video. (I do feel your rage a bit though)

The ranking incentive causes more competitive-minded and skilled players to frequent the ranked playlists in comparison to the social playlists. As such, the social playlists are easier as there is a less skilled population of players that you will get matched up with.

A large part of being good at Halo is having the right mindset. If a person is playing just to have fun, they're not going to do as well as a person playing to win. Players in Ranked are going to put up a fight, because to them, the rank they can earn is a big incentive for them to win.

I enjoy pointing out the fallacies in the logic of some of these people. I'm hoping they learn something, but then, I always have been a bit of a dreamer.
That's a rather baseless statement right there. Care to give objective examples of fallacious rhetoric in their posts? Also, you're being a hypocrite; your own posts are not without fallacy themselves.

Don't the social versions have incredibly low Trueskill matching?

Going that rout again? Not actually contributing an argument, pretending to be right (out of spite at this point) in favor of trying your little words? It's not working for you. It wont. It may have worked in the 6th grade, but some of us grew up.

The kind that knows the kid he's taunting is getting POed big time.
Its funny because Im the one pissing him off.
Also LOLCREAMPUFF. The only people who would possibly be insulted by that are retards and eight year olds.


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.

Go ahead. Read. Even when they admit that they can't argue against me, I still call them a pastry. I'll wait.

I'm waiting.
All I see is you trying to use your slightly expanded vocabulary to sound smart, fail, and get laughed at by everyone whos graduated from middle school.


Erroneous personal insults? Really?

Omg lol. How do they even make it out of their house in the morning without suffering some sort of fatal accident from the lack of coordination? Living without the ability to move move than one part of the body at a time must be difficult.

So hurt. It hurts, guys. He found my secret pain. He also keeps trying. Good for him; I commend your inability to figure out when your little corner was out of the game ages ago, not many people would so unabashedly make themselves look so stupid for the sake of trying to keep up. Most people know shame and humility. Not you though; you're a real trooper.

Very good suggestion, though playing with randoms is never a good idea, and sometimes you just don't have more people online to play with.

Hey Thumbs, what do you make of this one? Judging from the sarcasm it looks to be an attempt to cover a hidden insecurity, but he made the amateur mistake of being too obvious and projecting it instead. Or possibly he just doesn't care what he says or what people think of him and he's just posting here for the fun of it, and I can respect him for that. It doesn't lend much weight to his opinion on the topic at hand though if that's true, does it?

I am genuinely entertained by the way your brain works on this one.

Even pretending that rank does mean anything (I'll play along for this one), you seem to be under the impression that being a high rank puts a person in a position where saying any stupid little thing (as calling someone retarded) automatically makes for intelligent debate on a topic as disputed as this. It's like a number by your name showing that you are good at Halo, means that you know SO MUCH about what you are talking about, that all you have to do is say some asinine comment, and it's GOLD.

See, right here, I can call you stupid, and be right. Why? Because I pointed out the fallacy in logic that makes it apparent that you are stupid. How is it you guys say? "Get on my level."

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.
