[QUOTE=ChosenOne54;28199671]What exactly should we consider canon, in terms of the effectiveness of weapons/armor? There is a lot of inconsistency between the games, books, and animated show (Halo: Legends). For example, I remember reading in a book (don't remember the name) of a Brute taking sustained fire from over 20 sources, and surviving, while in the games they die in a couple bursts of a battle rifle. Halo: Legends, and the promotional videos (Halo Landfall) seem to be in between.[/QUOTE]
Try to find a middle ground for interpretation. Think within the laws of reality; universally in Halo canon, Brutes use a type of power armor resembling MJOLNIR armor. Therefore, in addition to their bulk, they are also armored, giving credence to the idea that multiple shots could be required to take it down.
In game, however, balance must be taken into the equation. Basically, always put books and outside sources ahead, because they often don't fret with the ideas of balance. In all cases, however, try to rationalize it.
Got a HDD.
Firefight/fileshare HERE I COME
I don't know how some of you manage to live (play, whatever) without hard drives. I wouldn't be able to stand it.
I just bought the Noble Map pack! The maps are beautiful. I love Tempest and Anchor 9.
Hey guys, I need someone to dick around in campaign with.
Anyone want to play?

It's kinda easy actually. I think I am getting one soon though and can't wait to try out Firefight with more than one person.
[QUOTE=Beetle179;28192239]Multiplayer is better than Halo 3's (I think), it's more balanced.[/QUOTE]
More balanced multiplayer? :rolleyes:

That brute had an energy shield that Tartarus has on Halo 2.

Damn I had a good title as well, "Armour lock, banshees and bloom oh my!"
Arachnidus, you need to fix the Halo 3 picture in the OP.
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;28206978]Next one. I promise :D.[/QUOTE]
If we ever make it to the next thread I want "AM STUCK ON THE CILENT PHOTOGRAPHY" as the title.

I am going to have to say yes. There is quite a bit of bloom but I don't think it's too bad.
i'm confused, i hear it all the time but what is the problem with bloom, on seocnd thought, what is bloom?
[QUOTE=vladnag;28209247]i'm confused, i hear it all the time but what is the problem with bloom, on seocnd thought, what is bloom?[/QUOTE]
It's like oversaturation of light.
Where I see it most in Reach is on explosions and sometimes after them I can't see properly because of the bloom.

really, is that all it is? i thought it was when the reticle of your gun got bigger as you shot, i will admit on ODST bloom was awful but i've never noticed it on reach.
Yeah, it's one of those things that people moan about but in all honesty I don't really notice it during game play until people point it out.
[editline]22nd February 2011[/editline]
Now with all this talk about overused techniques in video games I have to say people use bluring way too much.
I'm playing GTA IV for the first time at the moment and it feels like Niko is short sighted.
It's no where near as bad in Halo though.

most of the time i dont notice things like that,it all adds to the experiance.
Meh, bloom didn't bother me that much. I thought it actually fittted in nicely in ODST.
We've got two different definitions of bloom floating around, one being crosshair bloom and the other the "holy shit that's exaggerated light" bloom
Please specify in your posts what you are talking about before my head implodes
thank you

Fixed!
Sadly, we have reached the peak of dumb ratings on the OP. It would seem the fan boys have resurfaced.

Score.
Don't worry everyone. I'll make the next halo thread even though I have no skill whatsoever.

Why would we worry, we are only half way through this one.

Good point.
There is no possible way that I'll be able to get the weekly challenge this week.
Only about 13,500 cR away from Warrant Mountain's peak! I shall try the weekly challenge, but I won't make it.

Stronger men than us have fallen to this monumental challenge. Keep fighting and shooting, you'll make it to the top soon. From there, it's easy. Until Commander, of course.

Nevermind. The whole login process is fucked, it's a huge loop that is impossible to correct so that I can finally have friends on xbox LIVE.
