why is this thread a magnet for stupid holy shit
[QUOTE=KingKombat;37683536]why is this thread a magnet for stupid holy shit[/QUOTE] Halo 4
[QUOTE=dumbidiotretard;37683523]hey if you couldn't care what he thinks then how come you're derailing the thread with this drama and stuff. I want to talk about halo for h*cks sake![/QUOTE] I asked about it to see if he was bugging and spamming anyone else over stupidity, simple as that. I dropped the matter hours ago, it only started back up and the thread got derailed when Banshee posted the comment. I was looking out for my fellow FP Halo community and friends. Now lets get back on topic.
Acting like children isn't going to fix anything. If you want good discussions coming out of this thread, have them instead of running from them.

[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;37683569]I just wanted to talk to delta.[/QUOTE] "Halo 4 is the latest installment to the COD franchise." "Halo 4 sucks." ect. And that is the last of me responding.
You guys keep switching the role of hero/villain in this situation and you guys need to decide who is going to be a jackass and who isn't. Add each other on Steam if it's that personal.
[QUOTE=Delta616;37683585]"Halo 4 is the latest installment to the COD franchise." "Halo 4 sucks." ect.[/QUOTE] Sorry?
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;37683597]Sorry?[/QUOTE] Add me to Steam.
Trying to find a video, or some new Halo 4 info to discuss, can't find much today.
Not a ton of Halo media floating around right now. Hopefully there will be some soon. The Halo/CoD situation seems to be a misunderstanding. The similarities are there to be sure, but I think someone took something the wrong way and it snowballed into something terrible. I know I've overreacted to similar things. Let's not sweat the little things and just all agree that Halo 4 is the most hype thing on the planet.
Thought some new info got posted. Nope, just drama.
What does this thread think of Halo Wars.
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;37683853]What does this thread think of Halo Wars.[/QUOTE] Wasn't terrible, but it was a little strange. People are really good at the multiplayer.
Great Story, decent game play.
I really enjoyed being able to drop in ODSTs, it won me a few multiplayer games. When the meta game expects one playstyle, an entire different kind of play can destroy it. It's cool.
Quit trolling Delta616, idiots.

So, uh, guys. Halo 4 launch on election day in the US and, thus, no school. Planning on kicking the ass of campaign by 3PM (midnight release), and multiplayer the rest of the day. Anybody else going down much the same route?

Anybody else going down much the same route?[/QUOTE] Yup, i'm picking up game at midnight, playing the entire campaign on heroic either by myself or with a buddy via system link, couple hours sleep. Right back at it to MP. Have to go and vote sometime in the morning though, and make an appearance at work.
I'll be playing Halo 2 and/or Halo 1 all day that day.
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;37683853]What does this thread think of Halo Wars.[/QUOTE] Never played it. What's the story about it, does it have anything to do with the main games? Never played ODST either, should probably try and get it somewhere before Halo 4 comes out.
I only briefly read up about it, but I think it start around the time of Harvest? so that'd make it a prequel of Reach or something.
It's about one of the first real battles with the covenant. It takes place before Reach, But the campaign kind of spans off into an unrealistic conflict with the flood, which is never documented because [sp]the ship at the end doesn't have the power to use slipspace[/sp] so the events "were never documented".
Christ, btb heavies is so shit in Reach. I loved playing it in Halo 3 though.
I haven't really noticed it in gameplay videos, but does anyone know if that god-awful motion blur/ghosting effect that turned some parts of the Reach campaign into a headache is in H4? I never really figured out if it was intentional, or a side effect of them tweaking the engine, but it took me a month to get used to. Occasionally when I play Reach after a while of not playing, I'm not used to the effect and it hurts my brain. [editline]16th September 2012[/editline] Did a little more research, and it looks like, at least from a technical standpoint, if there's any blur at all in H4 (Which it surprisingly looks like they're trying to skip all together), it won't be the jittery ghosty kind found in Reach. Couldn't be more happy.

Reach rendered at a sub 720p resolution and upscaled it, so everything will be slightly blurry. Similar effect to playing 720p games on a 1080p monitor, everything is upscaled by a "non integer" amount.

[QUOTE=Delta616;37681078]Banshee FrieNd keeps spamming my vistors center calling Halo 4 "COD" and how it's going to suck. Does he really think I care about his trolling?[/QUOTE] Maybe hes not trolling, maybe hes just a fucking retard.
