Okay guys... Lets hear it! What do you think?

Cuz we don't have enough carbines already right! Lol. I think it'd be fun to light people up with it. A drawback would be proximity needle explosion damage to the guy using it though...

My favorite was the plasma rifle in Halo CE. This is relevant because as I never killed anyone directly with it I'd SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT and then... Wait for it... SQWACK! Right in the kisser! It would freeze people in place while you closed the distance. Took down shields fast and opened them up to melee. Easy as pie. But now I'm stuck with game mechanics that don't mirror that play style at all.

I think hurling an energy sword at someone's face is still coolest. Good idea though. But... I can see alot of people not liking it... Mostly because they'd say it's too "CoD". And lets face it, there are so many weapons already. Where would it fit? Throwing the sword. That's the way to go. Lol.

Yeah it was harshing my mellow brosiedon! Lol. No but you're right I guess what I was asking for we're community examples of inane nonsense that would make others laugh. See what kind of comedic genius the members had. Think I could've worded it better. Lmao... I'm still laughing at Spectral. I'm seriously in my living room laughing out loud.

I still play. I like it. Not a bad game at all. If appreciating my $60 investment makes me a fanboy than it makes you spoiled and bad with your money. Lol. I don't go around bragging how I spent money on something I don't like. Just seems so pithy... Play or don't.

You were rewarded with a victory in Reach and Halo 3... Just sayin'.

Whoa! Lighten up man! Failed to see the humor in it like I did I guess. It was meant to be lighthearted. Lol.

Welcome friend! Biggest fail on a game I played was team slayer on complex... I love this story. I still watch the video. So I was driving this ghost that ended up getting hijacked. We were losing so badly... Like 180 to 550. So I have this dirt bag on my hood and my shields are on empty. I didn't miss a beat man... Hit the thrusters and went sailing over the nearest cliff. Lol. He kicks me out just in time to see his own demise as the ghost fell to its doom. Hilarious stuff man... Don't know if that was a fail on my part for being so reckless or a fail on his for stealing a ghost with a one way ticket to HELL. Lol... DOUBLE FAIL!!! That's my story. Hope to see more of you around the forums friend!

I apologize before hand but I laughed so hard I literally spit my drink out. Saw Spectral Jester lock a thread for being TOO OFFBEAT even for offbeat threads! Bahahahahahaha! Ole Spectral did the right thing of course I wasn't questioning his judgement or anything. Just felt bad for dear old caboose. Not sure if he's a child or maybe if English isn't his first language? In any case I have a soft spot in my heart for that non spelling correctly little guy. Haha. Well... Assuming this doesn't get locked for the pure audacity of it... Lets turn it into something. Dearest community, what is considered by YOURSELVES to be too offbeat for this thread? Barring inappropriate subjects of course. Lets not go breaking the code of conduct. And as one final side note before we attempt to kick this thing off... Spectral that was one of the funniest locked threads I've ever read because of your comment. Just wanted you to know... I'm still wiping away tears of laughter... I can't breathe... ROFLMAO... Ah jeez...

Thought up a pretty cool one today. What about a vehicles only king of the hill? You can't leave whatever base to go for the hill unless you're in a vehicle? That'd be interesting. Or maybe implement team banshee dogfights over aerial hills? Too much?

Coughs BOLTSHOT coughs...* Would make mongoose destroyer an awesome thing to shoot for. It's hard to destroy those little ****ers!

http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/22518-343s-failed-gaming-environment/#entry216546 There's the link to the ENTIRE thread and conversation I had trying to talk him down. In one ear and out the other. If he's not harassing me he's harassing my friends. Just thought everyone should see. I mean, Jesus bicycle riding Christ IS IT ME GUY? Back on topic. When there's extenuating circumstances yes, it's acceptable to quit. Emergencies. You are late for something. Your FAMILY NEEDS SOMETHING. (I always thought family was more important than Halo. BUT IM THE WEIRD ONE). At no time did I ever suggest that you should just be able to quit if you're simply losing and that that's okay. At no time did I promote quitting because you're getting spanked. But thanks for telling me what my opinions are. Jeez that gets under my skin. And if all that wasn't reason enough to put this dude on blast, ASK FINAL SENTENCE. I play Halo casually with him. And by casually I mean he is WAY better than I am. So we get paired up with guys WAY out of my skill range. Do I quit? Ever? No! Just ask him. I take my *** beating like a man and enjoy playing a video game LIKE A MAN. I play Halo with the guy because he's fun to play with and doesn't complain. So there it is. I'm out.

I like to people watch behind rocks....

He used a cuss word. That's not like you liquid... I think he means business. And he's right. As another poster also said. How many other good topics are now getting ignored because were making A NEW TOPIC about it. My advice? Find one that offers the most intelligible conversation, pin it, and lock any new ones. Period. DROPS MIC*

Oh. I guess I used that term improperly. And why does the blame lie on people like me? Lol. You don't even KNOW me or clearly know what my opinion is. So why don't I really understand what it is you're trying to do by saying anything is MY fault...? Maye it's because you're just saying things. Like one of those people who says stuff because they like the sound of their own voice. I hate people like that. The problem lies with people like you. See what I did there? Didn't feel good did it? So don't do it to other people. You only look foolish throwing your opinionated judgement off as someone else's thoughts and rationale. It's just rude. I completely agree. It's like he's obsessed with stirring the pot and calling people out needlessly. On more than one thread. I could've sworn I even mentioned that I wasn't trying to argue anymore on another thread. AND STILL HE PERSISTS. Abrasive for no reason...

Lol!

... Do you bro... Just... Do you.

I can see that. A visible simplified system to see if someone is gonna wreck you or be wrecked. Lol. Lord knows I've had my fair share of surprises about enemy skill level.

Lock please

Awesome!

My comment was to suggest that it's not hard to find like minded competitive players. That's what it had to do with anything. And how is that off topic? It only addressed your thread. Maybe I could be more clear? I don't know. But to get back to the topic at hand. How many games do you actually play where you're stuck as the only one playing or the only one playing well? It's not hard to find like minded people. Again, this is how it ties in. I know you're lying if you say EVERY GAME is full of noobs or people cheating the system. I know because te statistical probability of you playing that many games with the same handful or jerks is VERY unlikely. Meaning what you might ask? Meaning if you're speaking about a handful of unskilled or unlucky players, you'll get this with any game. Every game has bad players. You being better at something isn't necessarily bad. Just means you're simply better. But you're not the best. So why not join the guys who ARE better? You don't need a number to tell you that. So again what's the issue? Please don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to argue or anything, just merely trying to see where you're coming from. On a personal note, I know we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things but I'd sincerely like to make an effort here. If that means anything. Just thought I should put that out there ahead of time Cortar. An again I could be wrong but I thought your K/D was only a culmination of your slayer based games?

I don't understand what you are trying to say with this. I agree that I wish you had a list of medals that says how many of each you have like in Halo Reach (Pre 343) and Gears of War 3. That is kinda cool added info for the players. (And not some half asses top tier medal chart through waypoint). Why should lone wolf style playing be frowned upon? Some "teams" manage even better by having a couple of lone wolves and scouts to harass enemy forces and distract from the overwhelming force. I think players should be rewarded however they play as long as they play well. Whether the number system is visible or not how does this affect gameplay? You would have been paired with these people regardless so I don't understand what the argument was. K/D is often not the best way to judge a persons skill level. It totally depends on what game you're playing I agree. As with any game most people don't know how good you are until you're already playing. Endless stats, numbers, trackers, and all that are simply BRAGGING RIGHTS. There's nothing wrong with that but it's not a necessary. Sometimes when I wanna turn up the heat I'll just invite the best players through a series of games until we have a team put together. Other times I'll just invite my friends who play the game that play to win. It's not hard to find casual gamers in any match. And I don't think competitive gamers are hard to pick up either. I do agree that everyone gravitates toward a 1.0 K/D. But that's not always the norm. I feel like personally I'm in the middle. Sometimes I just want to enjoy the game and lay back. Other times I play for nothing less than 1st place. Nobody WANTS to lose. So why would anyone want to be forced into a MLG match every game? And on the other side of the coin, why would anyone want to play with bozo's not commited to winning? That's where you get you're 1.0 K/D I think because that's what 343 attempted to find.

If anyone knows the answers to that I mean...

This is just your opinion which clearly doesn't apply to the OP if he made a thread asking for help. If your opinion were truly relevant to this discussion he wouldn't have posted the thread in the first place. Didn't mean to come off rude. Just looking for relevant advice to the thread. A better reply would be one like stated above. About melee damage from BR vs DMR. Or how many bullets it takes to soften the target enough for a killing melee strike. Or items of that nature. I'm not entirely sure of any of that information I was just saying that that would be the appropriate response to the conversation.
