The Halo Thread V12: The Last Thread Turned Into A Bridge - Games

At least that picture has dual wielding

[QUOTE=Killjoy;50009156]I was actually being way too harsh when I posted that. I was referring to this Squid: Honestly Spartan is the lesser of two evils here. Sure he is annoying with his constant downing. However, the other side is the one hurling personal insults and name calling... over someone's opinion on a [B][I]VIDEO GAME [/I][/B]Both sides here are being childish. This is essentially the equivalent of someone saying, "I don't like a certain politician." And then everyone else saying, "You are stupid and wrong and fuck you. You aren't allowed to think that here."[/QUOTE] It's not quite that simple. I don't think I've ever said Spartan was wrong about anything unless he's tried throwing bullshit game design/modelling knowledge at myself or Xaelener. The reason I tend to get ratty is the constant stream of it all. We can be having a perfectly normal debate about design choices, experiences of bugs etc and then Spartan comes in with "It's 343i's fault they ruined Halo and you're dumb for buying into it." He always devolves it into shit talking 343i and reminiscing about Bungie. It's not his opinions about the game that annoy me it's the blood curdling vendetta he seems to hold against 343i and his need to inject it into every possible discussion we have about Halo. [editline]26th March 2016[/editline] Also, he isn't being oppressed. It's not like people ignore him just because of who he is, his multiplayer Spartan campaign idea (I forget the name) is really good and people are wicked into the idea. He's like that friend you have that when you think about it, you don't know why they are your friend but you just leave things as they are anyway.

[QUOTE=Killjoy;50007678]Damn people make up your minds... Spartan says 343 story is crap, I agree with him. Spartan is flooded with dumbs, I get several agrees and no dumbs. Spartan says he looks forward to next game. "lol no, fuck you, you just want to complain more." Seriously? What the actual fuck? To be honest, Tuskin and Electricsquid start more shit than Spartan because they are deeply offended and start flaming when Spartan has an opinion on the game. I for one don't care who thinks what about the game, its a game and I have my own opinions, but if someone disagrees with me I'm not gonna start a flame-war about it. Edit: And last time I mentioned this, you just said, "No, trust us, he's really annoying and hates everything 343.". And? Everyone is entitled to state their opinion.[/QUOTE] You would have to be here for quite sometime to understand how annoying and assanine spartan's post can get, and how long he'll go on about it. Its not his opinion thats the issue its how he often represents it.

So I just watched Fall of Reach and while it was pretty nice, the animation SUUUUUUUUCKED.

4 new posts oh look more arguing i have no right to bitch but it's disappointing

[QUOTE=343N;50013041]4 new posts oh look more arguing i have no right to bitch but it's disappointing[/QUOTE] Well no one's signed up for Spartan Conquest so we can't talk about that

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;50013069]Well no one's signed up for Spartan Conquest so we can't talk about that[/QUOTE] No one? You're forgetting that amazing blue team. You know, all two of us

I probably would've joined but I felt like no one would appreciate me bringing up the ping.

I ran a test of that Halo PNP game with some buddies from my tabletop group. It was pretty neat (though a lot of time was spent looking up rules), one of the group's ODSTs took on a sword-wielding Elite with nothing but a kukri and only sustained one gaping wound from the counter-attack :v:

Sign me up for red team. That should at least even up this spectacular 2v2. :smug:

[QUOTE=O'Neil;50013647]I probably would've joined but I felt like no one would appreciate me bringing up the ping.[/QUOTE] Hey, if no one joins the game won't happen anyway :v: So don't worry about.

It seems like a few months ago since you had to download random workaround shit and load maps using numbers in an ini file or something. Looking forward to how you're going to handle Anvil!

I need some feedback on this map I'm making: [url]http://imgur.com/a/5Xzav[/url]

Halo Wars is now backwards Compatible on XB1. Dunno how well it runs, I don't own it.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50023038]Halo Wars is now backwards Compatible on XB1. Dunno how well it runs, I don't own it.[/QUOTE] I had the game, but I cant find my disc anywhere. Is there any way to download it from the store if I owned a hard copy?

[QUOTE=Killjoy;50023369]I had the game, but I cant find my disc anywhere. Is there any way to download it from the store if I owned a hard copy?[/QUOTE] No, you need the disc, or rebuy it digitally.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50023460]No, you need the disc, or rebuy it digitally.[/QUOTE] I figured as much, that really sucks. I have the limited special edition version of the game. The metal case and everything. And for some reason I don't have the disc any more. Damn, I loved this game too.

I'm the best Halo Wars player here

I would have liked halo wars' locusts to become a thing. I really liked their design and their lasers really added to the visuals of the battlefield. Wolverines were pretty good too. Dedicated suicide grunts were fun. Everything else, like vampires, i wouldn't have liked to see cross over to the main series, but the aforementioned were pretty cool. I can't remember what the flood were like though, so don't include their units in that. I can't remember if they were good or bad.

Lore wise isn't the Mantis decended from the mechs in halo wars? [editline]28th March 2016[/editline] the Cyclops

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50023900]Lore wise isn't the Mantis decended from the mechs in halo wars? [editline]28th March 2016[/editline] the Cyclops[/QUOTE] Well, yes and no. While the Cyclops was originally designed for labor and then modified to function in combat during the events of Halo Wars, the Mantis was designed specifically for use in combat. It was also meant to be seen as a sort of 'evolution' for its predecessor (which, if memory serves me correctly, was the Mk.1 Prototype Armor Defense System/P.A.D.S. of the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL series).

[QUOTE=The Jack;50023854]I would have liked halo wars' locusts to become a thing. I really liked their design and their lasers really added to the visuals of the battlefield. Wolverines were pretty good too. [/QUOTE] Locusts would make a good Covenant counterpart to the Mantis. I'd really like to see the Sparrowhawk make a return if we can't get Falcons or Hornets back, they kinda dropped the ball when it came to vehicles with Halo 5. I'd like to see them focus more on vehicles in the next Halo, from what I've heard the Mongoose is suicide, the Warthog is a deathtrap, the Mantis is too weak and the Scorpion has terrible handling. I don't know if that's true or not, but if they want to focus on bigger maps and player movement abilities they need to focus on vehicles as well. I'm not sure if it's been posted here or not, but according to the [URL="http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Halo-Wars-2-for-Xbox-One/productID.319792700"]Microsoft store page for Halo Wars 2 [/URL]the game comes out on December 31st.

ALL UNITS. LOCAL UNITS. LOCAL UNITS. ALL UNITS. REACTOR COMPLETE. LOCAL UNITS. SUPPLY PAD COMPLETE.

the XB1 subreddit post on the BC broke down into that.

I rarely use vehicles in Warzone because you have so few, you don't want to waste them and as soon as you buck up the courage, you last less than a minute before you get blown to bits or some invisible guy creeps up behind you and sticks a grenade up your ass.

[QUOTE=The Jack;50023854]I would have liked halo wars' locusts to become a thing. I really liked their design and their lasers really added to the visuals of the battlefield. Wolverines were pretty good too. [/QUOTE] I'd really want to see the Grizzly make a return in an FPS. I'd love to see the Vulture too, maybe not as a useable vehicle, but a massive npc like the scarab or mammoth.

Why haven't we yet to get something like Battlfield 2142's Titan mode with Scarabs or that new thing in Halo 5?
