[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;36333418]Its a shame they're cutting firefight. I don't play it very often but its great for when no one is online. [editline] s[/editline] Aw...he was my favorite [IMG]http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/frown.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE] Isn't Spartan Ops just a re-branded firefight?
[QUOTE=Muntu;36324637]Someone actually had the time and interest to make picture like this of a troll? The Internet is seriously full of these, I see no reason why anyone would want to give them any more attention. Unless, of course, the troll hit a nerve. Which usually spawns these.[/QUOTE] I agree, the kid who made this picture honestly has too much time on his hands and barely made his point because vita fan was pretty accurate in his.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;36334096]Isn't Spartan Ops just a re-branded firefight?[/QUOTE] Not in any way. It is more like a second Campaign.
[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;36333990]could be fun[/QUOTE] Yeah, too much of a hassle to get running properly, and then it's very unstable and crashes alot.
[QUOTE=DentalDoctor;36334172]because vita fan was pretty accurate in his.[/QUOTE] lmao u r jking rite
[QUOTE=Delta616;36333864][t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/542930318614524061/CACCB2C5301EE984D7F7694F6F156B2C6E94EB52/[/t] On a winning streak on Halo 2 PC, decided to use my keyboard for a change. Good to see the intelligence level of Halo PC players is the same as Halo Xbox players.[/QUOTE] Erm, if you're using Keyboard+Mouse why are all your Icons 360 controls.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;36335076]Erm, if you're using Keyboard+Mouse why are all your Icons 360 controls.[/QUOTE] I have the controller plugged in at all times, so that is always like that for in Halo 2.
even when i dont have a controller plugged in it still shows xbox buttons for everything
Its a bad port, that's why. [SUB]its also all I have left ;_;[/SUB]
[QUOTE=DarkZero135;36335306]even when i dont have a controller plugged in it still shows xbox buttons for everything[/QUOTE] My controller's guide button is broken pressed in and always active. Doesn't activate the guide button unless a put pressure on it so I never got a new one yet.
[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;36333555]I thought the books mentioned that the Arbiter killed him? (Before he became the Arbiter obviously) Yep, the revised Fall of Reach book mentions that Thel'Vadam killed a Spartan who was trying to escort Halsey to CASTLE base.[/QUOTE] Oh that's just bullshit, first they claim that he died in a pelican crash (a fucking spartan dies in a pelican crash how is that even physically possible?). Then they decide "oh wait the elite who became then arbiter killed him". It's like they are just trying to find any shitty excuse to kill off everyone in Noble team. You know what? Fuck that, just leave him alive.

But Spartans do die in freak Pelican crashes anyway, like in one of the books they are forced to bail out of a downed Pelican, and a few died on impact.

Anyway, any info when the Glasslands continuation is released?
Uh, guys, we don't know how Jun died, but we do know he did. In First Strike, it's mentioned that Halsey's Spartan escort died. He goes unnamed. Now we know who he was.

Also, apparently, the Spartan IVs are [B]not using MJOLNIR Mark VII[/B]. It's likely the Chief's upgraded armor represents an incarnation of VII. It would seem they're using [url=http://www.halopedian.com/MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor_(GEN2)]MJOLNIR Second Gen[/url] armor.

And it was Thel 'Lodamee that killed her not 'Vadamee. [editline]15th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Mr. N;36338504]I don't remember a pelican crash either.

Chief barely survived 2km.

This is all about Spartans in Mark V though. I am pretty sure a Spartan in VI could jump off mountains for the shits of it.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;36341530]I've now got this beautiful vision of the Chief leaping down a mountain side. [I]"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"[/I][/QUOTE] Happens quite often on multiplayer for me.
The irony of this being that Chief can die of half meter falls if the fall isn't pointing at the objective. Especially in the level "The Ark".
Actually, didn't Noble Team have Mark V? Because Noble 6 fell from orbit as well, and he survived.

[QUOTE=certified;36342957]With a reentry pack on his back.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah, he gets that when he gets into the Sabre. Forgot about that.
Goddamn it looks like there are tons of new halo books. What are the recent ones that have been released? I feel like I have missed one or two.
Regicide gameplay I somehow missed: [video=youtube;qZnLxvq9ws8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZnLxvq9ws8[/video] Also, two new Halo 4 matches with commentary. [video=youtube;ULgEIR35amQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULgEIR35amQ&feature=plcp[/video] [video=youtube;FAJaHsHO6mQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAJaHsHO6mQ&feature=plcp[/video] At the end of the last video there's some Sniper Rifle footage, but the weak sound of it isn't genuine: [QUOTE=Stinkles]We've had this discussion internally - something about video capture is definitely squashing sound - and I am not simply comparing it to crazy 5.1 monitor quality sound - I mean even headphones and TV speakers, as anyone who heard it at E3 can attest. I will see if there's a good way to give you guys some uncompressed clean audio that represents how it sounds straight from your console.[/QUOTE]
heh, in the last video: "I'm only seeing brs and wallhax", "lets switch to a game with rockets" MLG at its finest :downs: Also 4 shot kills with the dmr, glad so see they balanced it out.\sarcasm [editline] CARBINE :D [/editline] Carbine is sexy as ever
So, if there's one thing I got from the gameplay so far, it's that the DMR sounds incredible.
