[QUOTE=Sir Drone;35805284]On the whole Precusor-Flood thing. I would rather it turn out the Precusors became the flood or the flood were a outside source that entered the universe. Precusor creating flood is just...seems cliched to me and is a very boring old trope[/QUOTE] Wait a second... [sp]But the Precursors ARE the Flood. At least, that's what it sounded like in Primordium.[/sp]

Perfection on Elite Slayer (Got first and last kill as well) [url]http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/career/gamehistory?#!/?game=1006967218&section=Competitive[/url] 26/13 on Tempest. Top player on opposing was teleporting everywhere due to lag, causing most of my deaths. Video of him in a Warthog soon.

Much more flexible. You can put it into sexy poses and everything!

but the armor on it looks ugly

[QUOTE=KingKombat;35830540]but the armor on it looks ugly[/QUOTE] SO With Joyride's iconic figures, you can truly unleash your imagination, and if you look deep into your heart, you can discover that inner child that has been locked away for ages. ©1957, Joyride Studios

especially with ALL that ACCURATE, INTRICATE DETAIL put into every figure honestly though, you can't look at me and say the low-poly master chief is not badass.

i don't think the "low poly" figure looks nice at all lol

you people

[QUOTE=cowsaysoink;35831129]i don't think the "low poly" figure looks nice at all lol[/QUOTE] I have to agree, it looks like papercraft.

The new Halo lore makes my head spin in circles [sp] Humanity developed into high tech race and allied with another high tech alien race making this alliance as advanced as the foreruners, Flood invade, we developed an cure (somehow resulting in making the flood slug each other out) but we lost because we decided to also fight the forerunners at the same time for no reason at all despite the aid of stolen precursor artifacts. As we are being crushed we decide to remove evidence of the flood and blow up the cure as a giant fuck you to the forerunners somehow knowing if we die we want everything to get fucked by parasite tentacle zombies. Forerunners send us back to earth, smash our tech and blow up every other world we colonized. Flood invade and well you know the rest[/sp] Man we were dicks [sp]Oh and the alien race we allied with were the Prophets[/sp]

Interest check: More FP custom games including Stealth Mission and Forge Wars.

Could do, consider me interested for custom games. Consider me more interested if theres more people.

I'm up for it if you plan on doing it

No forge wars but yeah.

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;35837944]No forge wars but yeah.[/QUOTE] Man, forgewars is great if you get the right guys. I remember one of the forgewars back on release week of Reach that was basically a heavily fortified bunker in the canyon against a barely fortified airfield on the pillar. [editline]5th May 2012[/editline] I hope Halo 4 has a map that's basically a giant forge canvas again.

Forge in Reach was bland and boring IMO, no variation in anything and the main map was a boring default sky colour anyway.

That's because it's been a few thousand years and a Halo array activation or two. [sp]And apparently, there were several offshoot species much as we've discovered, but H. sapiens was the primary caste.[/sp]
