If you like the PC over the Mac you are stupid and don't understand the beauty of the Mac. You wouldn't get it, it's a Mac thing you stupid PC elitist.

Is this a template people use?

If you like_____over_______you are stupid and don't understand the beauty of______. You wouldn't get it, it's a______thing you stupid_______.

That seems to be what people put in all PC Vs. Macrap, religious arguments etc. all the time.

You can't even call chief a character(even after halo 4), he's just a moveable camera that can hold weapons and die.

Just like on TV. All those people arent characters! they are just people repeating words! And in books, its just ink!

Everyone likes Macs and they are clearly the better system, despite costing you far more in the end when you have to buy all of those accessories that are essential to your machine. If you like the PC over the Mac you are stupid and don't understand the beauty of the Mac. You wouldn't get it, it's a Mac thing you stupid PC elitist.


The hypocrisy is strong with this one.


I actually was going to agree with you until you made a stupid comment like that. The 343 fanboyness is strong with this one.

In Halo 4 Master Chief is a quite talkative character who is never afraid to hold his tongue. This is done to allow for more character development, crafting an extra story. You never feel like you are the Chief when you play Halo 4, you are just some guy controlling him while you go through his story.

Well no -blam!- that's because this is his story. We're not playing some RPG like Skyrim. Where we actually are the Dragonborn and can make our own chooses. In Halo we're just controlling some guy whose path was already made.

What is a real gamer?

you are clearly talking about pc vs mac really, not halo vs halo 4. damn troll! macs are not clearly better systems, only diffirent.

as for bungies halo games, yeah and as for 343i they did a good job at making halo in a new way while keeping the halo feel.
nuff said. im gonna go adn farm some xp in spartan ops!

The fact that I have to clarify this is honestly ridiculous. I was clearly trying to make fun of Mac fanboys who I believe embody that same logic Halo 4 fanboys do. Why would I point out all of the Macs flaws and the PCs advantages if I was a Mac fanboy?

Oh and the end of your post kind of just proves my point, the fact that in this game you can farm XP, that was terrible in Reach and it's terrible now.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

If you had an electron microscope, you still couldn't find the -blam!- I don't give.

You lost me at the last paragraph. The paragraph you were leading up to saying PC are better then macs with some actuall reason behind it, then you pull a 180 and insult the pc user. Are you trying to give an arguement for both sides because if you are, your going to need to articulate it better.

Save Cortana

Wow way to go. /sarcasm/

This is not a good argument by any means whatsoever. With 343 Halo has taken a new direction. Sure Chief does talk more than in previous games, but that does not make him any less relatable. This game was about his relationship with Cortana, which is a very personal thing. Of course he's going to talk more.

Most of us grew up with the Chief, so regardless of how much talking he does I think we can all relate to him having known him for so long. It may be harder for new players to relate to a more developed character, but there are aspects of Master Chief that we can relate to no matter hom much talking he does.

Also, Chief continues to speak only when he needs to, the reason he talked so much in this game was because it was a personal and emotional journey for him. He was trying to save his best friend (probably love interest in a way) from destruction.

TL; DR? Cheif talked so much because he needed to. And we can all still relate to him in some way no matter how miniscule.

I don't think Halo vs Halo 4 can be compared to Mac vs PC. I think its a massive discredit to the Mac to compare it to Halo 4.

Halo 4, in my opinion, lacks the spark and charisma of the Bungie games. Not only that but the game is broken and incomplete.

Macs are great machines, PCs are great machines. Halo is an amazing game, Halo 4 is a disappointing mess.

I can't believe people actually think Chief "Talks his mouth off" in this game. Everything he says is relevant to the plot or his character. And he still doesn't talk THAT much.

Another thread about this?

Dude, you need to let go someday.
Why let go when you can make a hot topic every time by just putting "Halo 4" somewhere in the text?

Just because they're a person with a name doesn't mean they're a character.

Being human doesn't automatically mean you're a character and not a plot device.

There are about 5 of you that seem to not understand what sarcasm is. The part about paying extra for ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS is meant to be compared to Spartan Ops, an essential part of the Halo 4 story. I am in no way claiming either Halo 4 or Macs are better, but rather mocking the defense that both give. That defense essentially being, I'm right and you just don't get it!

I hope that sinks in this time. I. Am. Not. Supporting. Macs.

The Flood's view on the game- If its not Halo 3.5 its automatically bad.
Keep holding onto your delusions of an overly simplified and black and white world.

Fine, that's how the Mythics and Elders usually see it. There are the members who claim that it is a CoD clone. Then the minority with valid complaints who do not get sucked to the hate bandwagon.

Just a thought here, but maybe there is a reason most long term members don't like Halo 4? It's nothing like the old Halos and is stuffed full of fluff to make it "appealing". You know what would be appealing? A ranking system that promotes actually going after the objective! Like in Halo 3, you win or you don't get XP for the game. What's the motivation now?
