Subject: Listen to this Halo 4 argument I had. LOL wow.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Ok, 'cs burchie v2' reminded me to post this while in his thread about those who think Halo 4 is the best out there.

So here is my story/argument I had. (kind of long, but funny)
I was at my college doing some Animation with some buds. I over hear these kids talking about Halo. So, being me I gaze my attention to their conversation. Now to start though, these group of KIDS were high schoolers doing a college course/intro deal. They started blabbering off about how Halo 4 is SO TOTALLY AWESOME BRO! Ummm bro? You're like 12, you can't say bro...bro.

Anyway, there were continuing on about how Halo 4 is the best Halo out there. I try not to put my two cents in after a good wait but I had to after hearing this: "Halo 4 is the best Halo game. They should do remakes and 343i needs to make more just like this."

Oh man. I jumped in and first asked if they even played, let alone knew about the other Halo games. 2 of them never even bothered playing Halo: CE through Halo Reach. Uhhh wut kid? As a Floodian, I trolled them and destroyed them. I 'Halocated' them if you will.

I emphasized to them that they should play the other Halo games somewhere in the discussion.


[TL;DR]
Ok, long story-short, kids never played ANY of the previous Halo games. Said Halo 4 is/was the BEST of all. Flooded on them and got them to shut up.. maybe even cry when they got home.

Moral of the story is...? PLAY HALO GAMES BEFORE INPUTTING YOUR "opinions."

What say you Flood? Had any moments like this?
This isn't the first I've encountered.
Oh you silly youngens.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Typically when people talk about videogames in real life they don't know much about them. I let people like that be just because they won't understand what I'd be telling them anyway.

I just play along to be nice. Whenever someone said armor lock was a great addition or that flying around with a jetpack is fun I just kind of smiled and agreed with them. I would find it kind of rude to just go off on them about how it destroys gameplay and is an inherently flawed mechanic. They wouldn't understand and if they did they wouldn't care.

I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

Personally, I think CE was on par with Halo 4

Halo 2> Halo 3> Halo CE= Halo 4

If I ever see anyone post in a thread "That's your opinion", I immediately lose all respect for them.

Also, if you're discussing a topic with me and you resort to name calling, pull "life checks", or just call anything you don't agree with retarded without giving legitimate reasons, don't expect me to take you serious in anyway what so ever.

Yea, I've had tons of moments like that, but I don't act like a douche to the guys. I just note that their opinions on the subject at hand doesn't hold much weight and whatever they say on the matter from there on means nothing. Ignorance is bliss and who am I to take that away from them?

This. It's nearly useless to argue about Halo 4 related stuff, mainly because any opinion posted in here will most likely never make a difference anyways.

OT: I believe the vast majority of Halo 4's current population is composed of people with a similar mindset as those kids OP is refering to.

Quote from Confucius

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

I don't usually respond to those types of talkes unless its really stupid. I smile to myself and think about how misguided they are.

Eh, I've posted enough about Armor Lock and have enough arguments and analogies to explain to them briefly why it was a shady addition. It isn't particularly rude unless you're setting out in a confrontational manner.

Wow, that's so cool! You made yourself look like a total idiot, and had a go at people over a video game they liked! Even though it had no effect on you!

Yeah but most times people are talking about gaming in a very casual, very upbeat manner. They are usually talking about something really cool that happened to them. I just don't find it necessary to rain on their parade even if I don't intend to come across as confrontational.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

One time I was talking to a GameStop employee from Owen sound Ontario mention he played with royal two, from London and a few others snakebite etc. we talked about where halo was going and the disappointment reach was compared to previous games. I wonder what he is thinking now halo 4 is multiple times worse.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

Personally, Reach was my favorite. But I played all the other games before I came to that descision. I applaud you on your valiant efforts good sir, have a cookie. But seriously, go easy on them. They know not what they did.

Sounds like 343i achieved what they set out to do.

  • 12.20.2012 3:12 AM PDT

Most kills in the world with the Storm rifle in halo 4, the Plasma Repeater in halo reach, and the Plasma rifle in halo 3.
check out my youtube channel

my favorites of the series are

#1 Halo CE

#2 Halo 2

#3 Halo 4

This. OP, despite being right, must have looked like King of the Nerds.

It's also "two cents".
