You know jokes are only really funny when you dont tell them for a while, but this is your second 1 sided pole in just a few days and all you did was change the old one, you should really give people an actual choice instead of feeling the need to insult people and show just how closed minded you can be

 

 

what was my other 1 sided poll? the invasion coler one? me putting the word derp makes it onesided? you are an idiot

If you even read properly what i wrote you might have remembered what that other pole was, so calling me an idiot is only really reserved for the ignorant, much like yourself

sorry i only made two other polls and the invasion one is the only one that could even be remotly considered one sided. either you are thinking of someone else or you are just stupid.

So your failing to remember that the ORIGINAL poll on this topic had 4 answers, 3 of those were yes and the last was yet another insult towards other people's opinions, and you call me stupid? clearly you cant remember past yesterday, now if you dont mind, these forums consist of repectable opinions, if you feel the need to call other people names to make up for your own inadequacies, then i suggest you go play on Bungie.net

sigh.....i changed the poll.....so that people like you.....would stop whining.....because i didnt think people would take the poll seriously to begin with..... because it was a JOOOOOOOKE!!!!!!!

 

yet even after i change the poll.....you still complain....do you want me to remove the poll? also it was the first poll that was one sided (i have not made any other one sided polls other then the one on this thread and i removed it and replaced it with a fair poll thus fixing any complaints you could possibly have) so if i call you an idiot or a fracktard its not to make myself feel better....ITS BECAUSE YOU ARE ACTING LIKE ONE.

I dont know if you've realised, but its somewhat difficult to express a joke in words alone, and the only person who's done more ....whining, in this thread is yourself and when your not whining on about something, your still just insulting people, and to make it worse, your even using nonsensical words, so calling someone like me an idiot when your proving to just as big an idiot is complete hypocritism, now thank you for changing the poll to something that has actual fairness involved, and ofr what its worth, your joke wasn't even funny, and thats saying something from me cause i can laugh at pretty much anything, just not you obviously!

look im sorry about the name calling. if i hurt your feelings i was just frustrated im sure you have had "one of those days". im not whining just trying to have some debate. not fricken fight over the fracking poll. who cares about the poll i deleted the troll poll and created a new one so its fair.

 

i have read lots of your posts and you are way to serious. lighten up its just halo. even if they removed bloom and armor lock i would still play, it just wouldnt be as fun IMO. fine my origional poll was stupid but i didnt mean for people to take it serious it was meant to be really frackin stupid and as you have pointed out multiple times it was really frackin stupid. it had yes 3 times for frak sakes. i didnt think every other post would be bitching about the poll...i just figured people would not vote lol.

 

The main reason i called you names and raged on you was because you implied that i had made more then one unfair poll....but i had only made one unfair poll....now you see? and i didnt just change the letters on the poll i actually deleted the old one and made a fresh one. so if we are done fighting over the stupid poll then we can be done fighting over the stupid poll and we can go back to having proper debate or just let this thread die. the more we argue the more this thread stays at the top and the longer this thread stays at the top the more people will vote in my favor. just look at the poll now....

 

so i propose we agree to disagree and stop talking about the poll since its fixed anyway and everyone can get on with their lives instead of waisting hours in a flame war.

Sounds fair enough to me, though i didn't realise i was coming across so serious in that many posts (thats why i tend to stick around the general discussion topics, so i dont lol) what was bothering me was your quickness to insult, im guessin thats me spending too many hours on halo and similar games listening to people hurl abuse round lobbies and so forth, and they really do need to get a life. But in this forum, i've seen virtually nothing but respect towards people and their opinions, it would be nice if just one forum on an internet full of spam and porn would stay in the mature manner it has been.

 

Either way, its all done and stuff now anyway, so lets go play some stupid forum games lol

I think we both misunderstood what we were posting. I glanced through your your posts not realizing that you were stating that bloom is a love or hate thing, and that you dont see how it would effect a gamers skill, and cannot understand why people hate it so much. I thought you were saying the opposite, that it adds a new level of spammy-ness and is bad for reasons. I think it safe to say that we agree on almost everything. I wasn't trying to call you out. I was just trying to point out things I misunderstood on behalf of most of the members here who have never poked around the games actual tags and values.

 

The only thing I can see that we do disagree on is the weapon mechanics behind CoD and Halo. In Cod there is just as much weapon spread as Halo. I have played Black ops with my son a few times, and I can never land consecutive hits either with holding the trigger down for automatic fire or pulling the trigger rapidly. I can visibly see the impact damage hitting everything but my target, except a few times when shots land. Now on every weapon, the first few shots will land your target, but also I have found when playing thru, that CoD tries to more closely emulate the real battle thing. Technically in real life if you got shot in the foot, the toe wouldn't be the only thing to suffer damage. Chances are in a real battle, you would bleed to death from major arterie damage, and lack of a medic right there or evac to help you out. So I guess the whole getting shot in the foot and instantly dying part is a lot better than crawling around or hopping, and slowly dying. Although it would be hilarious fun to hop around the corner on one foot and headshot someone. I would love to see the killcam of a player hopping around.

 

For that matter, I think it would be fun if they had done some sort of battle damage mechanic for the spartans. Maybe when the shields were lowered, show some bullet holes or make it possible to blow off their arms and legs. How great would it be to take out the arm of that nade thrower for the whole match, or for that matter, take out someones arms and just watch them run around trying to pick up weapons or a flag. It would be priceless fun all around. What would they do...jump on me to death? LMAO!

i was so quick to insult because one: i had a bad day (im sure you can relate) and two: you implied that i was making unfair polls left and right when i only made one.

 

sorry about the insults. the purpose of this thread was to create healthy discussion not flame wars. insults only add to the flaming so my bad.

 

i will lighten up if you will too. deal? =P

well im not sure about black ops i meant MW2. as far as the toe shot thing you could just lower movment speed of the player untill they either bleed out or get medicals. the game already has a last stad mechanic so it would fit. as far as halo goes i want destructable armor. if you chop off somones arm with an energy sword and they escape they can survive. they have to either A: get a robo arm like kat. or B: reclaim their arm before they bleed to death in order to get it fused back on to their armor. medpacks will only keep you going for a time when u lose limbs not heal the limb itself.

 

when a spartan loses his leg he will have to lay there with his pistol out untill he either bleeds out or is finished. legs would not be replacable. and as far as the armor your armor will degrade as it is damaged. to the point that if your sheild generator takes too many hits you could end up with a wonkey sheild or no sheilds at all. other armor parts could have different effects on the player.....imagine shooting somone in the back permanently disabling their armour ability untill they either respawn or pick up a new one.

 

or if your visor takes hits it could get cracked like on the level lone wolf. or even glitch your hud. imagine when you get stuck in the helmet with a plasma grenade if you think fast you would be able to remove your helmet and throw it at the enemy. this would cause you to have no head protection however, making you extremly weak to headshots at least untill you steal a new helmet. the possiblilities are endless......but that is another thread worth of ideas lol

You seem to forget that the more people that see this thread, the more votes both sides will get. And yes we are being serious. A lot of these people have been following The Halo Universe for Ten years now. Why wouldn't some of them be passionate about a University that they have stuck with for Ten years. For you, it's just halo. For some of us, it's more than that.

dont insult me...i have been playing longer then most. halo CE came with my origional xbox that we got close to launch. i fell in love the instant i saw the warthog for the first time. i played coop and deathmatch with my brothers for all hours of the night. we picked the xbox over the ps2 and we did not regret it even though we had nothing else but halo. even my brothers who only played FPS on pc only loved the game because it had that pc feel...halo is iconic but at the end of the day its a video game not somthing to kill eachother over. speaking as a ten year halo fan i say we are a community so we should act like one instead of fighting over stupid pointless crap like bloom.....bloom is such a small change yet people act like it changes the whole game. its pathetic.

 

Dont lecture me about ten years of halo because i grew up with it. i purchased halo CE five times in my life. i purchased halo 2 three times. my first copy was stolen and the second copy broke. i have gotten the halo triple pack and i bought halo 3 twice after my first disk got cracked. along with odst and reach. i have contributed more to bungie and halo sales then most fans. so dont even go down that road.

 

i have been playing halo since it began yet i love AL and bloom. that just goes to show that 343 cannot please everyone. The fanbase is simply to big and diverse. Halo is one of the most important franchises of all time sure. but its not worth losing our humanity over...grow up its only a video game. in ten years a franchise that is far better will come out and it will have the same impact as halo did. so even if halo was sucked into a vortex. their are other good game franchises in existance. some of them are as good as halo.

And the main reason you have more votes is because you don't have a simple yes or no. It would make it a lot easier to vote.

 

 

Voting No would imply that you hate bloom in all games. which is an option. voting yes means you dont mind bloom at all. the other options are for people with mixed feelings.

Bloom = Recoil

 

Master Cheif a bioengineered super soldier wearing 800 pound armor = No recoil

 

I will let you draw your own conclusion but i think that if i was Master Chief that DMR would feel like a BB gun.

 

that is why the recoil is not as bad as it would be in real life. remember it is a futuristic armor pericing rifle desighned to peirce highly advanced alien armor and sheilds. an AK47 would tickle an elite at best. so the gun is ganna have more kick then your standard peashooter. bigger bullets equal more kick tin can armor or not. a standard untrained human would get his shoulder broken if he fired a DMR in excess. So a spartan would have at least a little recoil. its the future man. if armor is upgraded then the bullets will have to behave differently aswell

Bloom is not recoil. Recoil is the "Angle change per shot upper" and "Angle change acceleration" values located in the [weap] tag. Bloom is a reticule widget function of the HUD. It's operation HUD perpose is to give the player a visually flaring reticule that encompases the area in which the "min and max error angle" of the projectile is predicted to land.

I think people are still missing a huge point in all of this, Bloom and No Bloom are having their own playlists, so if you want it, play in one playlist, if you dont, play in the other. I dont think 343 would completely turn the game upside down, they have to cater to a wide audience, so they're merely adding another playlist to please the people who dont want Bloom, the core game is still gonna be there. What i want to know, is this gonna be the case with the likes of Armour Lock and others as well? or will it effect Armour Lock and others across the whole game?
