You started being a dick from the first instance, Grey, as evident by you 'considering' me 'a child' from my first reply, which was not at all agressive.

Why should I not ask for people to expand on their opinions when I am actually interested in them? I do not see what is wrong with me trying to promote discussion in a friendly manner. Please elaborate for me, Grey.

Curiosity killed the cat for a damn reason, i didn't start being a "dick" until i was getting lip for not liking the same crap everybody else does. Canon is not a reason i don't like the characters i don't like them because they have no weight and are over hyped, but for some reason that couldn't be comprehended.

Next time don't ask somebody to explain their own personal opinion on such an "extreme" matter. It really shouldn't be something get butthurt over. I fail to see the difference in not liking one character from another.


"I was being a dick from the first instance" Yet you brought my title into the mixed and asking "why do you even like halo" because i don't like 3 people out of all the other content?

You were insinuating not to mention pretty much asking for a reaction. So while majority of the people in this thread didn't even read the first page and see how it really played out, those that do see that i am not in the wrong for getting a little irritated.

So spout about how mad you think i am but i am just a tad aggravated at this ordeal. You are only making it a bigger deal by trying to shift the arrogance on me.

It's not that hard to grasp RigZ. You asked Grey that why he even bothered to like Halo when he said he thought the characters he thought were annoying were Chief, John and Buck.

You're essentially saying he isn't a Halo fan.

Fair enough.

Do not take this as an insult, but why are you so interested in the Halo universe (as evident by your posting history and 'Fabled Legendary Member' prefix), and why do you even like Halo?

I just find it hard to believe that somebody can find the most irritating characters to be the ones with some of the most dialouge or appearences in the Halo series.

Personally, I wouldn't bother.

My top 3

John, Avery,and Buck.

Because the story can still be good even if the characters suck, ie The Iliad.

Is your title something which offends you, Grey? I simply used it as I was curious as to how somebody could enjoy the Halo universe while finding three prominent characters irritating. That is all. It is quite rare, Grey. Surely you are aware of that?

Of course I was asking for a 'reaction'. I wanted to know why. Is that so difficult to grasp? There was no malice behind my questions, Grey.

I'm not trying to make you out as a bad person, Grey. You are doing that yourself. Look at your reactions to other users throughout this thread and it is forever evident what a dick you are being to me, and many other users for posing friendly questions or having an opinion.

It can be taken the wrong way if you are a sensitive person, yes. Or perhaps it is because you can see that I was asking in a friendly manner as were are conversing over the internet. Any reasonable person would simply explain to me as to why they still find the Halo universe enjoyable as opposed to flaming me and other users.

Cobra, you are bringing up old points and questions in which I have answered. Earlier in this thread you apologized. Why do you feel the need to reignite our old conversation now that Grey is replying once more?

Adding a " do not take this as an insult" in front of something smug as that does not make it ok. Are you new to sarcasm? Because most people would see that as being a wise ass. As i have said, i shouldn't have to explain my reasons seeing how i wouldn't even a damn about yours. Why aren't you asking other people why they dislike chief or other characters?

By 'considering' me 'a child' from his reply. It was unreasonable and irrational of him when I was simply posing him a question, out of nothing more than friendly curiosity.

Why should he question my logic when I was again, only posing a question out of friendly curiosity.

I was promoting discussion. Nothing more and nothing less.

You must be paranoid, Grey. I was never attempting to be a 'wise ass'. I stated 'do not take this as an insult' to prevent a flame war such as this. However, that obviously did not work.

You come to a forum and 'don't [give] a damn' about other peoples opinions? How mature of you.

Because other users explained themselves without me having to ask, and to be honest, I was caught up with replying to you and Cobra.

Edit: Sorry for the double post, people.

I don't think i ever outright called anybody a child until later in the argument. You didn't understand what i meant the first time because i said Shallow reasons are childish such as the obsession. Afterwards i started calling a few of you children such as FTW which i know he is.

And if you worded your slick post differently it wouldn't have even escalated. You can jive me all you want but you brought it on yourself.

You considered me a 'child' from your second reply, Grey.

'Fair enough'. Those were the first two words I used when replying to you. I appreciated your opinion and was asking for you to edxpand on it due to my curioisty. How on Earth is that a 'slick post'.

Yes, I most definitely brought this upon myself.

EVERYBODY! DO NOT PROMOTE DISCUSSION OR STATE YOUR CURIOSITY BECAUSE IT IS OFFENSIVE TO SOME USERS.

You called me a child, someone who hasn't read the books, and someone who has an obbsession after I said that liking or admiring John and Avery (Your point about Buck is spot on) is not childish. I fully understand why you find those 3 irritating, I am very framilier with that veiwpoint. I never said you shouldn't find them irritating if you so choose, but rather that people that admire them have good reason for it and should not automatically be considered to be a child or someone with an obbsession.

I can agree with that rush to judgement, but when the vast majority of Chief fans constantly act as children, I also see Grey's point.

Why would you let the AI drive in the first place? I think we all learned to not do that since CE.

AIs don't drive in Halo: CE.

Also, will the general public please stop using that lame excuse "don't let the AI drive for you"? I mean, that's like saying that you are OK with Bungie developing mediocre AI just for the sake of "making the game more difficult". It makes no sense.

People should point out that more often, unless you guys actually like Kat constantly driving you to a cliff, or your own troopers driving over you. Oh yeah, that really makes the game more challenging, but in a bad way.

Bungie should improve their AI. But if you are honestly surprised the AI driving leaves you in a bad situation...well you should know better.

I played a game called counter strike the other day and the AI is unbelievably human and smart.

Agreed.

Still, it's annoying that people usually accept that they make horrible AI on your allies and even tell the people who are constantly pointing this out to shut up. It's really that frustrating, especially after Bungie says that this is the best Halo game, that they have tested the AI and all that crap.

I mean, in their ViDocs, you saw all those troopers fighting against 20 Elites and stuff (when we thought they were serious about that 40 AIs and 20 vehicles in a single area), we never see Kat driving of a cliff, or Jun shooting at the air, missing every shot.

It's not acceptable that they keep doing the exact same thing wrong.
