yup

This is a true story. I was orphaned as a small boy, hoped a freighter to Europe and ran into the woods. A mother bear let me suckle from her as her own. Later, as I played and froliced with my bear brothers and sisters, my bear mother came upon his family and did in fact eat herself. Through our agonizing pain of loss we realized that Jester was truly meant greatness. Jester, I forgive you for all the pain and suffering you caused my bear brothers and sisters. It was for the greater good.

8.7 million copies sold worldwide and less than 100,000 playing it months after. That is not a good example to make for it staying on. Halo 2 sold just over 8 million. The point is, it is a loved and played game by it's current fans and deserves the right to stay online for the foreseeable future. When Halo CEA arrives it will bring with it more real maps that will renew or maintain interest in the game. When Halo 4 arrives it would most likely suck the life out of both Halo 3 and Reach. I have stated before that it would be nice to have all match making versions remade for live with the new engine Halo 4 will use, but that is just a dream. It would be nice to have them all available for play and I seriously doubt it would hurt H 4's numbers. It may even bring back some of the original players of the original games. If there are more current sales numbers available I apologize. I am not trying to mislead anyone.

This is the problem, I believe, with credit system in general. Instead of playing for a skilled rank players have become addicted to chasing credits and when the max out for the day they usually see no reason to play anymore that day. BirdieJuice makes that point for me. If there was no cap or a higher cap they would rank up so fast they would again loose interest in the game because they were maxed out. There has to be a system that reflects actual skill instead of playing time. When you soundly beat a 50 in H2 or H3, and weren't highly skilled, you could assume they had bought the account or were on their big brothers. Now when you beat an Reclaimer/Forerunner into the ground you beat an someone that never learned how to play the game. This resembles the beating of a social general that had a rank that truly never compared to the real rank of general earned overall or in ranked play. There has to be a completely new system in future games or something akin to previous ones. It will show that 343ind. has listened to the majority of the Halo fans give real meaning to the ranks we achieve. Sorry for getting just a bit off topic, but....... P.S. I referred earlier to the "OP" in my response, has been corrected.

Hello and welcome to the best little site in this corner of the galaxy.

He then is chased by a detective until his ninja skills fail him and he runs head first into a wall!

After spreading peanut butter on your morning Thomas' muffin, your carefully make a Halo ring with the grape jelly on it then eat it in small nibbles while listening to the Halo sound track repeatedly and sliding back and forth across the floor and dancing like Tom Cruise in " " in your under ware.

I haven't done that since I was a small boy, but see it still follows me around! I found the person above me hiding behind my computer and he handed me some candy! The person below me was scratching his butt, found a peanut and ate it!

Thanks to both of you. Will attempt it , so don't stop with the advice!

I agree! The OP was about adding more maps to the game type, not overhauling it. Invisibility is an unwanted AA by everyone I know in snipers. Just add some maps.

I am missing something and could use some help. With a linked image, video or story I used to be able to put a simple phrase like "here" or "this" in place of the link and it would provide the path to desired item. I have either forgotten or it had changed in the update. Can some one help me with this. Thank you.

I obviously agree. I am not sure how hard it would be to try this and see if it gets played, but when I thought of it, it seemed like a playlist that should have existed. Much like the idea of the Flood Infection.

That was a mouthful, but do understand that you are a fan of or see the necessity for the bloom. Were I disagree is that bloom encourages teamwork and your antagonistic way of calling out people who end up in one on one battle as being "chickens with their heads cut off" and "want to be heroes". There are many who play both as a team player and attempt to handle the one on ones without asking for help or running away until help arrives. You seem to be grouping a lot of players into a tight category. If I have misunderstood your post please explain and I apologize in advance if I have mistaken the intent of your post.

This truly is a good read and speaks to what is needed. Really appreciate the link.

Thought it needed to be said and viewed by members to help keep the forum spirit continued in the right direction.

Hopefully, if it is not too late, there can be a push to get this in Halo4. It just seems natural to have the Flood for infection. The timing may have been missed if they are not present in the next installment of the series, but playing Elites as the Infected is not a very novel idea!

I have just noticed some unique "ranks" that are not included in this thread. Where do they come from and what do they mean? These are examples: Kurt S-051 <p class="author_info" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 15px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 10px; width: 155px; float: left; font-size: 12px; text-align: center; "> Blamed by Stosh Trusted Members Vore The Chosen One Trusted Members [/center]

Jester plays cricket bare handed, routinely hitting beamers, carroms and googly's getting numerous centuries per inning and doing so without wearing a box!

You have now been reported to Homeland Security, expect a knock on the door any time now! lol

I don't think it should be taken off either. John 117 is a soldier first, not one who want's personal glory. Revealing him as an individual lessens the Halo story in my opinion. We follow and play as the Chief, but there were and are other Spartans. I like the anonymity of what he looks like also because faces were revealed in ODST and Reach were a let down. I've had years of playing as the Chief and never once really cared what he looked like. Why give that responsibility to some artist, as good as he might be, to put the face to the Master Chief that we have all come to play as an extension of ourselves?

This should be pinned. There are numerous questions from new members and this is an informative post for all members.

.....the nearby city built by......

This is true, except for a massage parlor I visited that, well.......was very friendly! Sit back, put your feet up and stay for a while.

Sounds like you will fit right in Consol. There are rules...some where, but just have fun and read and post as you like.
