The Director

A foolish young child who

I played 2, so I'll play it if I can rent it. lol

Lulz, pink flames.

They DO still use trueskill in the game, you just aren't ranked on it anymore. As far as bloom goes, it's just eh. If you spam like crazy, you are still able to get a kill about 50% of the time (trust me, I do it from time to time) and pacing your shots is cool and all but it slows down the gameplay a bit, imo.

Well they gotta concentrate on the TU AND what they are doing for Halo 4. Plus whatever they are developing. I'm sure they will get around to it, though.

True enough, but better graphics is hardly a reason to go out and buy ANOTHER 360. Especially if they make it like the newest generation of 360s. :/

Actually, Wii beat them to it :3 And honestly, I wouldn't mind a second Halo Wars game, but I don't know what they would make it on. OOOOOOH! Maybe the forerunner war! Then lead it into the Covenant war! Perhaps the war on Earth that we pretty much missed while MC was off kicking covie buttocks And for matchmaking have all of the species unlocked, and balance it in much the same way that Starcraft 2 was! This is brilliant!!!! Also, Kinect would be cool, but I wouldn't buy it if it was Kinect exclusive. :/

Agreed, but watch your language. This forum is a bit more polite than b-net. Don't want you to get banned. So here's my idea for this. Since betrayals on Infection are a common occurrence (half of which actually ARE accidental) it should be +1 kill more than in the normal playlists. Betraying is the worst sort of blue falconing, and is one of the reasons I no longer play infection games. :/

OH! AND, the colors could be unlocked with rank! Like visor colors! I love this idea

I don't mind bloom in other games like COD. However, in Reach, it feels unrealistic. (All of the following is IMO) Now, before you go off on how Halo is a Sci-Fi game and thereby not realistic at all, I didn't mean it like that. The point of Sci-Fi is to make things as realistic and explainable as possible. Fantasy, on the other hand, is where nothing really makes any sense, and there are usually random Unicorns and magics. It's also usually set in the past. Halo, on the other hand, is supposed to be explainable. Now explain to me how a super human soldier who has been genetically enhanced to increase strength, eyesight, speed, balance, etc who is also wearing armor that not only stops the majority of bullets, but also has a hardening gel layer that helps them maintain a perfect weapon stance without fatiguing can't even keep a quarter inch grouping with a semi automatic weapon at a distance of about 25 meters? Even US Marines can do that. The real ones. Explain to me how a normal human (even though he is badas$ for being a marine) can out-shoot a genetically enhanced walking tank. By all rights, when a Spartan holds a weapon, it should have the same accuracy as a weapon placed in a vice. There would still be a slight spread (like the BR in Halo 3) if they were spamming, but not one that you would notice without knowing that it was happening. That's what I mean by it feels unrealistic. You are supposed to be this awesome super human killing machine, but you aren't able to hit a target that someone straight out of boot would be able to? As far as the actual gameplay goes, they aren't taking ALL of the bloom out, just 20% or so (due to the NR becoming a power weapon *shudders*), so that won't be too noticeable. It will mean, however, that fewer newbs get a lucky headshot by spamming and not aiming. I've killed my fair share of people with lucky shots, where the center of my reticle was nowhere NEAR their head, but I've also felt the arse-end of that. Pacing your shots doesn't work as well (on the game or in real life) as unloading a clip in the general direction of your opponent. Now, with the bullets going where your reticle is, the "wall of lead" strategy will no longer work with the DMR. No longer can you aim next to your enemies head and get a headshot. Now you actually have to point at their head. Am I denying that countering bloom takes skill? No, of course not. It is challenging to slow your shots down so they hit where they are pointed at. However, it's less effective then pacing the first 3 or 4 then spamming like crazy (which takes no skill, but reaps high rewards). And no, I'm not dissing bloom on Halo because I suck with it (9k+ headshot medals FTW ) I'm just saying it doesn't FEEL right. It's like I'm playing a slightly more accurate form of COD. Which it's odd that Halo would become more like COD, considering that COD has used quite a bit that the Halo series started. (timed lobbies, two weapons instead of a weapon reel, "safe" spawning) Alright, I'm done with my Essay of the day. I hope. -.-

lmao why are some of them fat? xD

Thanks Now I have to find these books >.>

I wonder, do spam bots make sense to each other? o.O

I must have missed a book or something, could someone explain to me exactly what a "precurser" is and how they differ from the forerunners?

BUT, Spam is good for sammiches though. Gotta look on the bright side

lol it's because I never sleep! Sleep is bad for you :3

Alright, I forgot to vid this, but about a week ago I got the most epic assassination ever. I was playing invasion on the spire, and was on top of the spire snipin spartans with the NR when a guy in the banshee tries to splatter me. What he ended up doing instead was knocking me off of the spire. So, I'm looking down to my certain doom when low and behold, an unsuspecting Spartan starts walking right under me! I do a bit of air maneuvering, and BAM! Spartan dead, me alive and with an assassination medal

They should have a screen popping up letting us know, because I want to play with them but I have a horrible memory :'(

^^^ This. And the guy doesn't get the game, so it's ok if he leaves. Why he is angry though, idk. Ragers gonna rage.

I don't mind the armor they have, but I'd like to see the Hayabusa Armor make a comeback.

On this day, 9/23/2011, I am going to call it. I think that the enemy on Halo 4 is going to be Forerunner. Flood Forerunner, that is. I've heard speculation about the tech being forerunner, but to me it doesn't really make sense for the forerunners to want to kill Master Chief. Or any of the other species that they saved from extinction the first time the rings fired. This is why I'm saying that they are flood forerunners. Forerunners infected by the flood. In my convoluted mind, this makes a great deal of sense. Perhaps a forerunner ship made it to the edge of the ring's blast area, and so survived without realizing they had a few spores on board. Perhaps the flood took a forerunner ship after realizing what they planned to do and sped off and survived. There are too many variables for 100% certainty, but my bet is going on Flood infested Forerunners. If I'm right, applaud my epic psychic abilities, if I'm wrong, then flame me as you wish :3 We will find out for sure in 2012.

This is mine.

Alright, movie and who said it. "I'M NOT GOING TO QUIT MY MUSIC! YOU HEAR THAT OLD LADY?!? I'm not going to quit my MUSIC!

How much does it cost and what is it? o.O
