Anyway, the bnet community I swear might as well just be 4chan community only on a different site and minues the porn.
Curse you Comcast! :argh:
I love the trailers for the Halo 3 era games, they're always amazing. The actual games I can't speak for, I don't own a console, but the trailers are awesome.
I honestly do not know why people hate Comcast so much. I've had their service for four years now and have never had a major problem with them. I've had to call them out once and that was to replace a modem and the reason it had to be replaced wasn't there fault. (115 degrees for three days no AC and my whole family using the internet nonstop for gaming/myspace crap hurt it) When I did call them they came out the same day.

A week later during a small gap of when it was working, he called and said it was working perfectly. And said the generic customer have a good day and hung up.

Does anyone find the spartan flame effect a bit ugly?
[QUOTE=dark_console2;24423837]Does anyone find the spartan flame effect a bit ugly?[/QUOTE] With the exception of Grunt Birthday Party, I think all the armor effects are kinda weird.
[QUOTE=dark_console2;24423837]Does anyone find the spartan flame effect a bit ugly?[/QUOTE] Yes, I've never liked how they animated/modeled fire, and now they are making it something that I'm going to have to see all the time!? :argh: However I do like the Pestilence one or w/e it is called.
[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;24418996]I guess it hurts a lot more to get punched in the face by a robot arm so she thought it would be a good idea. I swear to god im the oldest guy on the B.net and im only 18. People saying "Im not a kid im 15" just makes my head hit my keyboard, im gonna need a new one soon.[/QUOTE] What part of B.net do you go to?
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;24423912]What part of B.net do you go to?[/QUOTE] That is pretty much everywhere, especially in the Reach forum section.
I opted for the limited edition over the legendary edition, i really don't see much use for the statue and paying all that extra money for a damn flame effect, when well maybe 3 months down the track the flame effect is gonna be 5 dollars on eBay.
I would love to join you guys for a game but Charter has been dropping the net more than a drunk person.
[QUOTE=Trooper-guy1;24413547]You've actually played Halo PC right? I hope you aren't one of those people that tried to buy the game or find a CD Key just for a flair you don't actually deserve.[/QUOTE] Lol so quick to judge. I got Halo PC back in 2004 before I even had an Xbox.

I own three copies of Halo CE...for console QQQQQQ. Used to host LANs back in the day. I think I should get flair :(
[QUOTE=bionic0n3;24424568]I own three copies of Halo CE...for console QQQQQQ. Used to host LANs back in the day. I think I should get flair :([/QUOTE] They should at least find a way to get it for the people who bought it from games on demand.
[QUOTE=BurningPlayd0h;24424352]Lol so quick to judge. I got Halo PC back in 2004 before I even had an Xbox.[/QUOTE] Well I guess so(my bad) but I've seen it too often on the B.Net forums... That's what I get for going there :eng99:
Well since it's a halo thread I guess i can talk about H3 as well. Recently in online it feels like the skill of other people is pretty bad. I'm not trying to act like I'm the best player ever (I'm not) but it's annoying when I get 25 of the kills in team slayer.

Now all that's left is people that aren't too great at the game and are playing it just to pass the time rather than to be "IM SO PRO MLG LKASFJSHD".
I used to play CoD all the time and recently came back to halo. Now I don't understand why I ever left.

I played a game with my brother on avalanche heavy. First thing we did was park the tank outside of the other teams base, and literally did not move an inch for the whole game. I was driving, and my brother was in the turret. I got 38 kills, 0 deaths. My brother got 15 kills 0 deaths. They just kept jumping out of the mancannon and land right in front of the tank. Its not like they even tried to kill us. I'm not saying it took skill or anything, but it sure was a good time!
[QUOTE=Stripez;24425865]I used to play CoD all the time and recently came back to halo. Now I don't understand why I ever left.[/QUOTE] Agreed. Also here's something I never though of. How the fuck do plasma pistols work? Think about it. Plasma is so hot that if something goes near it (i.e. the barrel of the plasma pistol) the plasma super-heats the matter and then the matter becomes plasma, and so the pistol would just turn into plasma. Even if it's not really plasma and the marines/UNSC just call it plasma and are mistaken, how does the pistol shoot the plasma? You obviously can't load it into a shell, and since plasma is pretty much a gas, how would you shoot it with a spring? The only possible answer would be a fan in the back of the gun, but that wouldn't make the plasma fly fast at all. Wtf bungie? Maybe I'm just over-thinking things though. lol

I still prefer it to Halo 3 and seeing these profags and 12 year olds buying it just so they can say they the HALO flair unlocked -not because they've been loyal to the series!- makes me rage hard. I have some great memories of that game and was happy to know Bungie was acknowledging the long time fans, then these dipshits come and make it far less meaningful. Oh well, maybe they won't have the Halo 2 flair at least.

Obviously the Covenant have metallic materials the Humans do not have access to. Those materials could be able to withstand the plasma heat. As for shooting it off, I don't know. v:v:v
