Problems That Need Addressing in Swat and Snipers.
The Director replied to The Director's topic in Halo Reach
Ah, but the "lucky shot" happenstance isn't exclusive to close-mid range shots. I'll admit that once in a while after I missed my initial shot cross mapping I spammed and got the kill based purely on luck. The problem with bloom in Swat isn't just that it slows the action down (it actually doesn't since most people either hit their first shot or just spam like crazy whenever they see someone), the problem is that you don't have to actually have your reticle on someone's head to get a headshot. What you are basically trying to say, from my understanding, is that removing bloom urges players to not pace their shots and aim, but instead to spam. However, any Swat player that even thinks they are good will see the flaw in this theory immediately. While you are pressing right trigger, it's slightly harder to aim your next shot. Not to mention that the DMR has a shot-pause. What that means is you can only fire a certain amount of shots in a certain amount of seconds. If I recall the ratio correctly, it is one shot per half second. A half second is a long time in a firefight. Honestly, I don't see spamming as an issue. The only issue that I can actually think of is that jumping and crouching would become a lot more popular, rather than strafing. But then again, jumping and crouching is still a pretty common sight in Swat anyway.- 24 replies

If by sky you mean atmosphere, then it has a semi-spherical shape. I say semi-spherical because high atmosphere tends to be a little iffy, what with clouds, precipitation, and the gravity of our moon. But for the most part it's a sphere.

There have been quite a few "Heroic Editions" of various video game series on the market. If you asking about Halo specifically, officially no. There have been "Limited Editions" and "Collectors Editions" but never a company named Heroic Edition. However, the general public (including IGN and other video game news sites) refer to these editions as Heroic Editions.

You can slam it INTO someone, but as far as slamming it behind you for dramatic effect, no. As a matter of fact, if you try there is always the possibility of the "door hitting your butt on the way out." xD

Problems That Need Addressing in Swat and Snipers.
The Director replied to The Director's topic in Halo Reach
The sorry fact of the matter is that spamming with ZB on in matchmaking won't work as well as you would thing. And I have also played it in customs, ironically enough to prove this very point. I actually have been playing it in customs quite a bit recently. A well placed shot > A bunch of spammed shots. In ZB slayer, people usually spam their first 4 shots at the body to take the shields and finish up with a well placed headshot. In ZB, however, even without the bloom there is a bit of a bullet spread with each successive shot. It's less than with bloom, but it's still there. However, those that pace their shots rather then spammed are rewarded with more accuracy then those that don't. The reason it is more beneficial to pace in ZB than in normal Swat is because you are less likely to end up with "A lucky spam shot" then you are in normal Swat. If you have trouble believing this, go into a custom game with a split-screen controller and place your reticle slightly to the left or right of the split-screen head (the outer part of the reticle should be off of the SS head as well, but aligned to it) and start spamming the trigger. With each successive shot your reticle will expand, and within one or two shots be slightly over the SS head. You WILL end up killing the SS within 10 shots by doing this. Usually in the 4th or 5th shot, in fact. Congratulations, you just killed someone with a headshot without even aiming at their head. That happening is GREATLY reduced with ZB due to the mathematical formula that they use with ZB. They include reticle size in their bullet spread formula. In ZB, they don't even need to change the formula to make the weapon more accurate because the reticle stays the same size. The more your accuracy increase, the more you need to be a better shot simply for the fact that you can no longer rely on spamming to get the kill quicker than your opponent. The only time spamming will actually work is if your opponent is stupid enough to strafe into your reticle.- 24 replies

Somewhere warm. With air conditioning. Where there is never horrible weather (cold weather). Also has to have a great internet connection. Actually, you can. As long as it's an actual number (irrational or no), you can square root it. The answer I gave is a rounded number. Which means that no matter how long you string pi out, that is still an accurate number for the square root of pi. If the question had been "What is the exact square root of pi" I would have replied that it is impossible to write it out, because it is an irrational and infinite number. However, that's not the case. 1.77245385 is an accurate answer to the question "What's the square root of pi?" because it will not change no matter how long you list pi, because the last number (5) will not change. Ever. The reason for this is because the number after the 5 is a 0. Roughly 497, including miniseries, 2- part documentaries, and sports shows. However, if by This does NOT include shows that aren't currently on air. You mean not currently playing, then 7. While I would love to list all 497 shows for you (/sarcasm) it would take me all day. And if you wanted me to list what shows are CURRENTLY playing, that information would be inaccurate shortly after I finished this post. So, think I'll pass on that.

The only black holes that die off due to Hawking's radiation are those that lose more mass than they gain. Also, Hawking's radiation is just a theory, so it may not even be true. Black holes that appear in an area where they can absorb a lot of mass tend to turn into something called a "Super-Massive Black Hole". These black holes are theorized to be responsible for certain galaxies and their orbits. For instance, there is actually a smaller SMBH in the very center of our galaxy. Smaller being unbelievably large, yet not as large as others that have been confirmed. It's also worth noting (however a sort of no brainer) that the more a black hole "consumes" the larger it's event horizon expands. The ratio of expansion/consumption is different for every black hole, however seems to be based on the size of the black hole. Another thing you should know about black holes is that they can compact particles. Imagine getting a rubber ball and using a vice to squish it. The sheer gravitational pull of the black hole and the amount of mass the black hole has "consumed" already causes a similar effect on particles, which are the smallest confirmed source of matter so far.

Lucid dreaming: turn the lights out and lay down on your bed comfortably on your back. Relax your muscles and close your eyes. Do NOT move for about 10 minutes. You may feel some itching or discomfort, this is your mind trying to figure out if you are awake or not before it enters a REM cycle. You will then feel a slight pressure on your chest, and will experience "sleep paralysis". Don't panic, this is supposed to happen. Just keep still, and soon after you will be asleep, but will be able to actually interact and change your dreams. NOTE: This does not work for everyone, but works for most people. Do not do this on a night that you need to wake up early for something, or the night before you have work or another important event. Most people feel tired after doing this. Cinnamon Challenge: This is a fun little prank to pull on your friends who don't go on the internet much. It can also be a good way to make some money, if you are so inclined. Bet your friend that they cannot swallow a teaspoon of cinnamon without a drink. If they are not familiar with this challenge, or are very ballsy, they will try it and fail. Every time. The cinnamon causes a chemical reaction in your mouth which dries it up. Trying to swallow dry powder ALWAYS causes a coughing fit, so it is not possible to actually do this without a drink. Breathe Under Water: This is a little pun that can make you some money. Bet your friend that you can breathe under water. If your friend takes you up on the bet, fill a glass with water and hold it over your head. Breathe normally. You are now breathing under water.

Tackle a lion. I could beat the crap out of a lion, but I can't swim so the shark has a chance to get me. WYR be shot by a Scorpion Tank or a Wraith in real life?

It's an impossible to answer question so I ignored it :3 As I stipulated in the OP :3 I'm already being a good first president Did you even know that you are already the first lady? xD Yes I do. Those who are "players" in my eyes are despicable people who have no class. There are plenty of women out there who don't want a relationship who are still willing to sleep with a man. To purposefully lie to women who do want a relationship is an act of a being that is no better than a common leech. If you are talking about the dog, then yes. If you are talking about a German sheep herder, then I've never met one and therefor cannot formulate an opinion on them.

When someone calls you a homosexual in a derogatory manner, simply state, "you wish." This will turn the tables on him without making you look like a homophobic. When someone tells you to close the door and asks if you were born in a barn, reply "No, I was born in a hospital. With automatic doors." When someone asks "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" reply "No, I kiss YOUR mother with this mouth." When you are out in the sun for a long period of time, just drinking water isn't usually enough. Try drinking tea, and using the water to cool yourself down by splashing it on the areas of your body exposed to the sun. When you get cut pretty badly, your first instinct is to see a doctor and get stitches. However, most serious cuts don't require such drastic (and expensive) measures. All you need is some super glue, some cloth, some sanitary liquid (such as hydrogen peroxide or boiled water or even rubbing alcohol) and some gauze. First, clean the wound thoroughly with the sanitary liquid. Be sure not to use too much Hydrogen Peroxide or Rubbing Alcohol if that's what you are using. It could be hazardous to your health. Second, dab a little super glue on each side of the cut, then press the cut closed for 30 seconds. Be sure not to get the glue on your fingers. Keep the cut still for about a minute to make sure the cut won't reopen on it's own, then put a line of superglue over the cut and wait for it to dry up. When it is dry, apply the gauze and use the cloth to tie it. Boom, simple, low cost, stitches.

Thank you all for voting! And double thank you for those who voted for me! I'd like to thank Vitamin PWN and Spectral Jester who are the best campaign managers of all time. If I ever run for presidency of the U.S.A. I will hire them as my managers. Alright, enough grandstanding. Time to go about my presidential duties.

Okay, so it seems that the AR can now do critical damage on certain points (i.e. headshots). The reason I say this is because for some enemies it took more than a few shots, and for others of the same type it took only a couple. While it does not appear that a headshot with the AR is a 1 hit kill, it does seem to do more damage than bodyshots, unlike previous versions of the AR.

You didn't tell me that it's your life goal lol You told me it's a dream of yours. Remember the Martin Luther King wisecrack afterwards? xD And dreams aren't goals. Dreams are something you hope can happen one day. Goals are something that you strive to make happen one day.

I think you should read the first three words of my previous post again. lmao If I have to guess it rather than there being an actual answer, then it's an impossible question. If you were to go to someone on the street who didn't know you at all and ask them this, would they be able to answer? No? Then that makes it an impossible question. If I were to hazard a guess though, based off of your "Location" I would say understanding eternal knowledge.

Actually it is. You have not publicly revealed your ultimate purpose and goal for you life, so it's the equivalent of asking "If you know me you can tell me what I'm holding in my left hand on a Saturday". lol However, if you mean building the thing on Minecraft (forgot the name, bad memory) then that. Or if you mean what's a Balrog's goal for it's life, to serve Melkor or destroy as much as it can.
