GT - Assassin 45

Posted: 9/15/2006 5:47 PM



It looks like my dreams are coming true regarding the 360 controller. If they put melee on the right bumper, imagine how easy it would be to hit someone, since you wouldn't have to stop aiming to hit B anymore.

I guess this would work for me. Swap it with the nade switch button so I wouldn't have to move my fingers around all goofy to switch nades up while having the PP charged up. other than that everything seems fine.

Nobody will probably care all too much, but I thought that I'd point out some misinformation/ add some information regarding Bungie's history of the term "Fifth Column".

In short, they are missing the fact that the term was first used in the Russian Civil War of 1917-1922, by Leon Trotsky (Commander of the Red Army) to describe what would become the Fifth Army.

Amen Senior Achronos,

On a happier note.... "Amazingly happy that the book is coming out, but will William C. Dietz be writing any more Halo books too?


Although William is an amazing writer, he’s not currently signed up to work on any Halo fiction. Currently"
...makes me really happy...he's not as good a storyteller as Nylund.

Hey, Frankie. I'm gonna start kissing some major ass right now. Here I go.
Halo IS my life now, I lie awake at night about it; wondering what the release dates for all the stuff will be. Did you guys know that on bestbuy.com, they say Halo 3 ships on september... of 2010. :O That was my reaction. Don't worry, I didn't believe the heresy and lies.
On a different subject, when I heard that the Halo movie is schedule to release in summer of 2008, that wasn't good for my blood-pressure, bro. Puh-LEEEAAAZZZZEEE tell me that there is a chance of it being pushed forward, just a little... by like... One year?
This is a long post in case you hadn't noticed, which I'm sure you have. When can we expect that juicy, wriggling teaser trailer for the movie?
And on a "No BS" iterjection, I'm getting into acting and it's going slow. So I was wondering if you could get your casting director to call me. Because I haven't seen any way to get into it from Bnet.......... How desperate am I sounding right now?
FRANKIE! STOP PUTTING CRACK IN THE GAMES!! *sobtwitchsob*

'controversial button layout'? I think I know exactly what it will be.

Oh and the warthog stuff was cool as well. Can't wait to see it in action.

Now THAT is what i call an update... not too much info, not too little. Just enough to get me excited about a few things.

I really hope there are some new Halo2 maps released, even if its only 1 or 2 new maps. That was an awesome update!

...gawd i love being a gamer right now...

Hahahahaha!
Mister O'Connor is a short angry bald man.
That amuses me to no end. Thanks for that Frankie. ;)

ALSO: YOU should DEFINNITELY get the wheels in motion to make sure there is a WHOLE PACK of MISTER CHIEF gamerpics for sale on the xbox live marketplace once Halo 3 comes out. I would pay 1600pts for a pack of 6 awesomely made Mister Chief gamerpics, but everyone else would moan and groan that they should be cheaper so maybe they shouldnt be 1600 pts, lol...
Anyway, PLEASE MAKE SURE WE GET MISTER CHIEF GAMERPICS!!!

Thanks Frankie, you rock.

I alwas had the idea of honking the hornes and marines come running...

mabey instead of making the marine gunners dumber...you can make the enemies strogner...or smarter (i can't make an educated guess about smarter unless I saw how they acted)

I want the warthog's babies. I've always had an odd love for the hog, and the pelican they're design is awesome. I seriously can't wait to see the new one in HD :)

i dont like the marine command system. It seems like they are changing Halo and the way it is played. If i were them i would keep it like the previous halos.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

So...

If the origin of the 7th Column is directly related to 5th columns... then is Bungie trying to take Microsoft over from the inside out????????????

Oh my god!! Watchout Microsoft!! BEHIND YOU!!!!

Great update as always, Frankie. I'm glad you answered that whole MC's face thing. Now I can tell my friend who thinks it's actually his face that, in fact, it's just the reflection on his visor!
