Did you know that Spectral Jester was the first member to reach 2000 posts?

The MK-19. Love that thing. Second favorite is the M777 A-2 Medium Towed Howitzer. That's my baby

Welcome to the forums, where we have a different forum for every topic! I hope you enjoy your stay and find some really interesting ideas here

Did you know that much of the dialogue spoken by the Covenant Elites is in fact dialogue by Sergeant Johnson, reversed, with some pitch alterations.

Did you know that AD and I are tied for most awards now?

Tough question. Honestly, I'd like to see one that is very difficult to manipulate by boosting, so it would probably have to be based on individual skill rather than w/l ratio (like Halo 3). Here's how I think I'd like it to be: Ranking system based on levels 1-50 that is given base on individual player skill (k/d, medals, and whatnot) and a symbolized ranking system that shows time spent playing the game (credits or exp based). This way, you know that you are in trouble if you see a lv50 Inheritor on the other team. However, the ranking system should only go negative based off of an individual player, to prevent booster accounts. There will still be derankers, but they won't affect things that much. They also shouldn't make it a one step forward two steps back type of thing for the 1-50 ranking system either, which will help against derankers. Also, armor customizations and such should be unlocked based on the symbolized rank, and symbolized rank should also be based off of skill to some level. The better you are, the more you rank up in both rank types.

I've been playing Halo appx 2 weeks after Halo CE came out for PC.

So you've never heard of derankers and boosters then? Most boosters have accounts that are lv 50, but their deranker accounts usually stay at a very low level. Also, people who boost to 50 can get pwnd by a person who deranks who used to be a 50. So no, I'm not talking out of my anus, I'm talking as a deranker/booster. And you said rank system, not skill system. Those are two very different things. Pretty much the only thing they have in common is that they can both be manipulated by people that know what they are doing. I'd also like to point out that there are accounts out there that can boost a person to a 50 in any playlist in under 20 games.

Solar 2 Platform: Xbox 360, Computer The Director's Rating: 8/10 This game starts you out as a meteor and allows you to build mass and get larger, going from Planet, to Sun, to Black Hole. This game is surprisingly complex, which makes it fun. There are multiple types of planets and suns that you can become, and you can even build your own solar system as a sun. Combat: That's right, there is combat. When you become a live-able planet the species living on you will eventually become sentient, and then space faring. When you get too close to other space faring planets, they will war. When you are a sun, the same thing will happen, but all of the planets in your solar system will be on the same side. They will defend you from enemy attack, and attack enemies, all on their own. Physics: This game uses gravity (adjustable once you meet some requirements) to allow you to create your own solar system. Synopsis: This game is different from most games, and is actually quite fun. The unique gameplay gives it something that most other games don't have. Playability. You can play this game for hours and still not get tired of it. They have missions (weird, I know, but fun and challenging) that will keep you on your toes, as well as avoiding larger solar systems and black holes. You can even become a multi-star solar system! The Director's Recommendation: I recommend playing it when you get tired of other games. It allows you to take a much needed break from normal games while still keeping you entertained. It's available on XBL Arcade, and on Steam. If you have a recommendation for a game that I should review, then let me know in the comments (I follow all of my threads ;D). Remember though, if it's a hyped up game then I won't do it. "Lesser Known" is in the title after all. Hope you enjoy your time in the world of games. Wanna check out the rest of these threads?

Eh, ranks are pointless anyway. There are 10's in Halo 3 that can make a team of 50's rage quit. There are Sergeants in Halo Reach who can do the same to Inheritors. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to say things like, "ha ha I outrank you", but ranks were never meant to be taken seriously. As far as the OP, pessimism gets you nowhere. Halo 4 isn't the end of Halo 3, or the first trilogy, but the beginning of a new series of Halo games. This means that what doesn't work in Halo 4 will not be in Halo 5 or 6. Halo 4 is like 343i's Halo 1. It could be better than you think, or just as bad as you think. We won't know until we get there. The only people qualified to say what Halo is and isn't are the ones who create it. Also, an interesting little tid-bit, people said the same thing about Halo 3, but for the exact opposite reason. Here's a direct quote from a forum post on Bungie.net just before the release of Halo 3, "Halo 3 is too much like Halo 2. It's following the path of CoD. It's going to ruin any future Halo games because they won't evolve anymore."

Every time Bob is on we have a nice chat about the way things used to be in the forums, and have a laugh or two. He isn't on often, so we both end up forgetting what we talked about and talk about it again. lol Absolute Dog and I have butted heads a few times, but we still had some laughs together. His dedication to this forum has been awe inspiring. Absolute Dog and Bob have done a bunch for this forum, and I'm glad they are the first to receive Legendary status. Also, I'd like to suggest that one of the future members of this group be Twinreaper.

I really do hope the Beam Rifle makes a comeback. I've heard that the DMR/BR is coming back, but haven't heard anything on Covie weapons.

Grunt Birthday Skull. Wraith.

and

The ending cutscene (every difficulty) shows the Master Chief removing his helmet, however his face is not shown. On the PC version of the game, the cutscene can be viewed in a free roam view with some minor tweaking and modifying. It shows the Master Chief removing his helmet, only there is another exact helmet underneath. This video can be viewed on YouTube.

A wasp. Sting people and die? Don't think so >.> WYR get stung by a bee or a wasp?

Lmao Yeah, Azaxx is going to be gutted xD Because now AD and I are tied for the most awards xD I'm glad the workload is less now Good decision

While I am pleased with this update, I'm disappointed in the lack of attention to one of the largest playlists in Reach (Team SWAT). Hopefully, in the next update they will add the maps that they added to slayer into SWAT. Until then, SWAT is doomed to be bland and repetitive. Also, Team Snipers need some new maps too. Other than that, yay!

Yes. (Also, I can lick my elbow ) Do you know the definition of Antidisestablishmentarianism?
