The Halo Thread V8: Nooo Mongoose, Come Back! - Games

It helps to remember not to take all articles seriously, especially from Kotaku.

[QUOTE=Delta616;37365274]Is it the objective of Kotaku to make retarded posts?[/QUOTE] Wow, that sounds like a generic action movie story.

[sp]I'm pretty disappointed that Halo 4 only has eight Campaign missions. Hopefully they'll make up for it by making them all extremely long.[/sp]

Oh, shit, I hadn't realized they leaked. Also, somebody chime in on this with me. [sp]The Composer...wasn't that a machine that could convert a lifeform into an AI? The entity that turned Chakas into Guilty Spark?[/sp]

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;37367394]Oh, shit, I hadn't realized they leaked. Also, somebody chime in on this with me.[/QUOTE] Wasn't a leak, 343 revealed them.

Ah. Well. I need to read more.

Oh, and due to the Gravity Hammer being confirmed, I hope that means Brutes will be in Campaign. I'm the only person who likes them. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/emoot/saddowns.gif[/img]

I wonder how they'd work them in, plot-wise (what with all the implied genocide). Maybe they're just low wage conscripts for Storm forces.

I kindof know the answer to that, but I won't ruin it.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;37367470]I wonder how they'd work them in, plot-wise (what with all the implied genocide).

[QUOTE=Delta616;37367480]I kindof know the answer to that, but I won't ruin it.[/QUOTE] Oh, when the game comes out, how things will be level and we will all know, without having the specter of the fact that you know it and we don't in the back of our minds. You lucky bastard :v:. [editline]23rd August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Funky Pickle;37367523]Maybe it's a Promethean Gravity Hammer! That would look cool. [editline]22nd August 2012[/editline] But probably not make much sense.[/QUOTE] Considering what we've seen of Forerunner society, I wouldn't be surprised if a gravity hammer was a ceremonial weapon or something of the like.

You lucky bastard[/QUOTE] I know nothing more about the story and campaign than you do. However I do know about certain things in MP that would indicate the answer to your speculations. And yes, I can't fucking wait till everything is out and I can talk about Halo 4 stuff with everyone :D

[QUOTE=Delta616;37367719]I know nothing more about the story and campaign than you do. However I do know about certain things in MP that would indicate the answer to your speculations.[/QUOTE] Which is that much more interesting. Nice to see MP really is adding more depth to SP.

Does anyone know a good Halo forum where there are a lot more active members? I've used TheHaloForum.com for years but it's so inactive now these days, everyone is MLG wannabe, and complains about everything past Halo 2. Fuck Halo.xbox.com/Bungie.net forums, that's a swamp of people I try to avoid on Xbox Live. The most active thing I go to right now is Reddit.com/r/Halo.

[QUOTE=Shiftyze;37368171]Does anyone know a good Halo forum where there are a lot more active members?[/QUOTE] You're posting on it.

[QUOTE=Delta616;37368186]You're posting on it.[/QUOTE] I'm talking about a Halo dedicated forum, this site is for HL2 and I haven't even played the game in years.

[QUOTE=Shiftyze;37368251] this site is for HL2 and I haven't even played the game in years.[/QUOTE] Since when is this site for HL2? At one point it was more or less for Facewound and Garry's mod. But it's expanded into a forum for just about everything inside gaming and out. And all Halo Dedicated forums turned to shit since 343.

Halo dedicated forums have always been like that, even before 343. Bungie.net always got a bad reputation.

You'll never find a quality forum, there are always shitposters. Especially a lot when it comes to mainstream games like COD and Halo, a lot of haters too. I don't think there are a lot of halo posters here, but overall there is a lot less drama in this thread then I think you'll get in a whole forum. You could even go as far as to claim that each new subject brought up by someone is a mini thread within the thread, because this is a Megathread.

Well, the Halo thread on NeoGAF is so popular that it might as well be a dedicated forum, plus Frankie and David Ellis post there. However, getting membership on NeoGAF might take awhile.

[QUOTE=Shiftyze;37368311]Just, ugh -_- Okay, I want a forum that I can post my own threads because this this thread can be very passable with opinions and topics.[/quote] Not true, we value all input and opinions, aslong as they are not false, or stupid.
