Why the tech of the Halo Universe is a step backward. - Games

[QUOTE=BmB;27185651]Holds 3 people. Definitely troop transport.[/QUOTE] 6 if you take out the gun.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;27185943]It's hardly overpowered, it's just doing what a tank does, blowing shit up and moving slowly. It's piss easy to kill an enemy one in all the halo games.[/QUOTE] all you do is shoot your plasma pistol emp bolt at it lol i like doing this to people and jack their shit because they never shoot me with the plasma pistol at all

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;27185823]i don't think glassing is that bad [B]it's not like they completely destroyed the planet i mean look at reaches ending, it grew new grass and stuff again and fixed itself[/B][/QUOTE] After significant terraforming.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;27186039]After significant terraforming.[/QUOTE] but it looks cool when they glass things

[QUOTE=BmB;27185894]The Pelican has a hatch like on a Hercules and the scorpion is for gameplay reasons because it's so ridiculously overpowered. It's not like people get a chance at shooting at you anyway because of that.[/QUOTE] I fail to see how the scorpion is overpowered. It moves slow as hell, and turning is even worse. All one need do is run behind the tank, and the tank is screwed. [QUOTE=Arachnidus;27185937]The Pelican's door can be sealed, but for dramatic reasons, it tends not to be.[/QUOTE] I lol'd for some reason :D

So we've turned a discussion on the durability of vehicles in canon to the durability of vehicles in H1.

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;27186129]but it looks cool when they glass things[/QUOTE] What does glassing a planet do?

[QUOTE=Samiam22;27186417]What does glassing a planet do?[/QUOTE] Scours the land with plasma, which would melt the quite large amounts of silicate in soil to form a glass-like substance (glass is pretty much silicates.) Doing this pretty much gets rid of any chance for something to grow there ever again unless you intervene.

You've just answered your own question. (Hint: It involves glass.) [editline]3rd January 2011[/editline] fu

Ghost in halo 1 was a beast, sideways was one sure way to kill

[QUOTE=Sirdrone536;27186475]Ghost in halo 1 was a beast, sideways was one sure way to kill[/QUOTE] i loved the ghost in halo 1 my and my cousins would always do launches and stuff pretty high in the air with a tank and ghosts lol i loved halo 1 and it's glitches too we flew a banshee and a ghost into the cutscene on one of the snow levels i don't remember which it was but it killed MC in the cutscene and glitched

I always felt like I was a pro at Halo when I was able to steal the Banshee in that winter level for Halo :v:

Hell everything about Halo 2's multiplayer was the shit.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;27186584]I always felt like I was a pro at Halo when I was able to steal the Banshee in that winter level for Halo :v:[/QUOTE] lol yeah i like the winter level the most cuz of those things

[QUOTE=evilweazel;27186666]Halo 2's glitches were the shit. Hell everything about Halo 2's multiplayer was the shit.[/QUOTE] Like driving a Ghost down into the Scarab and turning everything into hamburger. Good times...

[QUOTE=RR_Raptor65;27186863]Like driving a Ghost down into the Scarab and turning everything into hamburger. Good times...[/QUOTE] Getting out of the MP maps was amazing, the super bounces were a hell of a lot of fun too, almost think bungie put them in on purpose.

This kinda makes me wish there was a ArmA2 mod with Halo content and then I'll pitt covenant forces against modern US military forces to see how they do :smug:

This kinda makes me wonder if any ArmA 2 modder would actually stoop down to the level of adding Halo content.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;27187139]This kinda makes me wonder if any ArmA 2 modder would actually stoop down to the level of adding Halo content.[/QUOTE] that'd be a pretty awesome mod tbh i always wanted to see a more "realistic" scifi thing

Stooping down to the level of? Don't they have a Star Wars mod already and shit? But yeah I'd be down with a fair comparison of Halo tech in Arma 2.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;27187139]This kinda makes me wonder if any ArmA 2 modder would actually stoop down to the level of adding Halo content.[/QUOTE] How is that stooping down?

[QUOTE=BmB;27187157]Stooping down to the level of? Don't they have a Star Wars mod already and shit? But yeah I'd be down with a fair comparison of Halo tech in Arma 2.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the average SW fan is more intelligent than the average Halo fan.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;27187182]I'm pretty sure the average SW fan is more intelligent than the average Halo fan.[/QUOTE] The point was neither mod is a stupid idea.

So tell me, how would iron sights work at all with the MA series and every single covenant weapon without optics?

[QUOTE=the_killer24;27187182]I'm pretty sure the average SW fan is more intelligent than the average Halo fan.[/QUOTE] Of course the fandom has been raided by kids since CN and Lucas decided to make a Animated series and movie, the Animated version done by the samurai Jack team was better.

The AR links up with your HUD and shows a live 3D reticule. It's supposed to have some sort of iron sight hidden somewhere for emergency use though. But I don't know where. The Covenant scopes are supposedly... unconventional. It isn't really delved into, all that is explained is that it can be nauseating.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;27187240]So tell me, how would iron sights work at all with the MA series and every single covenant weapon without optics?[/QUOTE] MA the soldiers have an HUD attached to the people's helmets or something (doesn't really explain how the soldiers with boonies in Halo 1 managed to aim though) no idea about the Covenant weapons though :geno: [editline]lawl[/editline] :ninja:
