[QUOTE=Tuskin;37727720]Yeah, but they have been mostly similar. The Jackels look so different, their heads looks like they were taken from a T-Rex, Jackels in the old games looked like Bird/raptors[/QUOTE] I suppose they're trying to get the more avian/reptilian characteristics emphasized. Personally, I don't mind the look, but I can see the annoyance. I'm still a little pissed over FUD's redesign.
[QUOTE=Uesrname;37727741]It's not going to be the same[sp]without Johnson.[/sp][/QUOTE] Did that really need to be in spoiler tags? Its been 5 years
[QUOTE=Tuskin;37727720]Yeah, but they have been mostly similar. The Jackels look so different, their heads looks like they were taken from a T-Rex, Jackels in the old games looked like Bird/raptors[/QUOTE] Ok the Jackals is a huge change but the others are really just changes in their gear makes them look strange to us. I quite like the new design to be honest. [editline]19th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Arachnidus;37727745]I'm still a little pissed over FUD's redesign.[/QUOTE] I think everyone is, considering how unlike the changes in the Covenant, it doesnt even resemble the old design.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;37727755]Did that really need to be in spoiler tags? Its been 5 years[/QUOTE] I still hav'nt got over it :'(
"Taking the bad ideas" "Camo" didn't realize Camo was bad
[QUOTE=Tuskin;37727755]Did that really need to be in spoiler tags? Its been 5 years[/QUOTE] Never know when someone might randomly pop in here who's playing through the trilogy for the first time.
Watch out guys it's obvious that call of duty made original ideas in the first place DO NOT STELA IDEAS GUYS it's not like battlefield 3 uses almost the same systems no we have to say it's ripping off the popular fps
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;37727560]What about killstreaks? Perks? The Character Design? E.G. The Covenant look nothing at all like anything in any halo game.[/QUOTE] also perks are cool and killstreaks are useful little bonuses to reward you for doing good
You sound like the people that bitch about how shit the Pokemon in Gen 6 are.
all generations had awful pokemon but all the generations had a lot more awesome pokemon then bad so it's ok
[QUOTE=No Party Hats;37728028]also perks are cool and killstreaks are useful little bonuses to reward you for doing good[/QUOTE] Actually, killstreaks in COD are fucking bullshit. In Halo, you just get a personal ordnance which is way more fair IMO
oh oops i mean the halo killstreaks i like how they're just weapons and everything
i agree fully 'killstreak' is a big overstatement for what you actually get in Halo
Plus "killstreaks" are the wrong word. Kills are not the only thing that attribute to it. If anything they should be nicknamed 'point streaks' because anything that gives you points (Assists, distractions, etc.) adds to it.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;37727755]Did that really need to be in spoiler tags? Its been 5 years[/QUOTE] Five years, five long years, thats how long its been since we saw Johnson in the Halo storyline.
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;37725698]The helmets are not part of the preorder bonus, only the skins are.[/QUOTE]Then I'll be trading the Deadeye helmet [i]skin[/i] then.

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;37728202]Five years, five long years, thats how long its been since we saw Johnson in the Halo storyline.[/QUOTE] Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised if he could survive a direct, point-blank hit from a Forerunner energy weapon, the activation and subsequent destruction of a Halo, and likely the secondary destruction of the Ark. I mean, the man made it off of Installation 04 without a scratch.
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;37728268]I mean, the man made it off of Installation 04 without a scratch.[/QUOTE] Likely propelled back to Earth by the force of the Pillar of Autumn exploding. Forget First Strike, the Legendary Ending is now canon.
I never realized adapting popular mechanics like weapon skins, infinity ordinance drops (that are only weapons, ammo, and power up, all things that existed in Halo to being with) = heavily mimicking from COD. Not to mention these are for certain games modes. Don't like it? Don't fucking play those gamemodes. Comparing Ordinance drops to killstreaks or care packages is just fucking retarded, it WAY overstating what it is.

[QUOTE=Uesrname;37727962]Never know when someone might randomly pop in here who's playing through the trilogy for the first time.[/QUOTE] I think I'm the only person visiting this thread that's in that situation (Hopefully the copy of Halo 2 I'm getting this afternoon works!), but even I know what happens to Johnson.
just play the games halo 3 is awesome and you'll love it i promise [editline]19th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Arachnidus;37728268]Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised if he could survive a direct, point-blank hit from a Forerunner energy weapon, the activation and subsequent destruction of a Halo, and likely the secondary destruction of the Ark.

I'm trying to play them all (In order, or as close as possible) before Halo 4 comes out, it's just that Halo 2 isn't co-operating (the first copy I bought won't load Cairo Station, and the second copy has been sitting at the post office for a week since they decided not to deliver it or leave a note)
[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;37728355]He the most badass character in Halo imo, if anybody can take that punishment without mjolnir armor, he can.[/QUOTE] I'd like to imagine he found his own Longsword or Pelican in the desert, which may have just made a crash landing trying to leave the Autumn before it touched down, and then got taken by Flood. Johnson being the badass he is, cleared it out and was fighting that one Elite for it before the Autumn went kablooey. But there was time for him to headbutt the Elite during the surprise grope and jump in, take off, get propelled around the other side of the planet hidden from Cortana's life scan, slingshot, and then just tag the Chief all the way home. Johnson could do it. [editline]Edited:[/editline] VVVVV oh lol i didn't know that. interesting. VVVVV

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;37729970] Why the disagree spartan, it does.[/QUOTE] Because he thinks it's funny and cool to disagree with facts.
