i seriously have only ONE problem with the terminals. none of them are closes captioned when i try to watch them on the halo channel. and captioning is sparse even when i see them during the game itself. sigh

i loathe the hornets because of their limited maneuverablility. way too easy to shoot them down if you have a laser handy. i know that was improved in the MCC but still. i never did have a problem shooting them down in that game either. i also know that people don't want those things to be over powered. i'd love a pelican to be in the game, as long as it was only used for transport, no weapons. and had extra armor to make it able to withstand a little punishment while it was in the air so enemy teams couldn't get such easy team kills with a single shot with a laser.

yeah... not being sarcastic here. your point was well taken, i hadn't thought of it beforehand. i seem to remember the mario kart game from the n64 where the computer would cheat massively making it harder to beat it at the higher difficulty levels.

personally i suck at using all of those. i prefer playing team games like ctf and assault where i can sneak around and defend my base, leaving my teammates free to attack the enemy base at their leisure

consider for a moment here... some of those weapons were made for spartans to carry. what do spartans have that normal humans don't? training and the strength to use it. carry a few extra rockets isn't going to slow a good spartan down too much...

good point there about the ai knowing where everyone is....

hmmm.... i'd think that the programmers could make sure that the ai zombies would give players a run for their money. if they've programmed some randomness into the ai for the warzone mode, i'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to add it for an infection game mode...

lets be real here.... no one ever likes to start an infection game as a zombie.... so if you guys can put ai bots into a wargames match, why not try to create an infection mode that also starts out with ai bots? that would be pretty awesome....

the servers are down again as of 1 pm on Saturday. anyone know what's going on today?

don't plan on them fixing this game anytime soon.

ok.... did you try power cycling BOTH your modem and router? often its happening because of an interruption of internet service while the xbox is on

chiron would be awesome to play on. I haven't played that in a LONG time. unfortunately, I don't have my xbox as the updates borked the blu ray drive. still waiting for it to show up on my doorstep. but when it does... YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA!

343 will likely reset the ranks in the future once everything has been fixed.

I mean... invite me when 343 fixes the game. at this point it is nearly impossible for me to join your custom games due to the bug in the game itself

well..... I have no plans myself to return the game.... because I bought the digital version. the only thing I can do is just wait and hope that 343 has their eyes on the prize and are working towards fixing these major indicators of a seriously half assed effort in making a game.... we'll see
