The Director

You were very, very lucky then. In the first week I got H3 I encountered boosters and derankers. I encountered them in such abundance that it put me off of H3 for a while. Then my friend informed me of how much MSP he had made off of deranking and boosting other players, and so I created a couple of other accounts and joined him in it. And my friend and I weren't the only ones who did this as well, and we by far weren't the most successful. Every other couple of games that we were deranking we would run into other derankers and have what was called "Deranker wars", where we could see who could go the most negative to gain the loss. We even had a couple different deranking/boosting clans with 30+ members ask us to join. There was even a pretty well known "derankers code". Point is, quite a few people profited off of Halo 3's broken ranking system, which turned it into a joke. Halo 2's ranking system had it's problems as well, but it was by far better than H3's.

You point out any other posts to me that have swearing in a PM and I'll be sure to edit them. Also, limited (note the limited part of that) blood and gore are not against the site rules. Swearing is. I should also point out that if you have ever spoken to me offsite, you would know that I have one of the dirtiest mouths on the planet. However, if I can refrain from swearing and posting videos/pictures that contain swear words, then so can you.

Ah, but it wasn't a Cerberus base lol it was a colony on the outer rim! And srsly, that was my favorite map in the game. lol

Looks kind of like something from Mass Effect two lol The second combat mission, if I recall correctly.

Exactly. And the thing is, this is nothing new. If you go back to forums from Halo CE, people were complaining about gameplay features in Halo 2 that they didn't like (or even know about), and people were doing the same thing for Halo 3. I remember a topic called "Equipment, you gotta be kidding me" lol Thing is, all those of us in the know can do is try to educate the lesser beings.

Had to cut the video because of the amount of swearing it had in it, as well as some pretty graphic descriptions of what was wanted to happen to the person who thought of promethean vision. Anyways, this video was a spoof dude. One of those "This is what MLG guys are going to think before they play it" videos. As for you points on the "Call of Duty Treatment": 1. Custom Loadouts: These don't work the same way they do in CoD. The weapons in the loadouts are balanced against each other, so no single weapon is better than another. The only reason to even change the loadout is because you are more familiar with a certain weapon type (i.e. you are better with a carbine than a DMR, or are better with a BR than a carbine, or are better with a DMR, etc.) 2. Ordinance Drop: Again, these don't quite work like they do in CoD. There are only three options to choose for your OD, rather than having it be a random thing, and they are more tactical because of this. These can help you not have to carry your team, rather than be a random "killstreak" that may or may not help you. 3. Sprint Button: Again, doesn't quite work like it does in CoD. The sprint in H4 is to get you from point A to point B faster. Getting shot slows you down, which means it will be harder to use to run away than in CoD. 4. No Firefight: Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 didn't have firefight either. And Spartan Ops is more like firefight than it is like CoD's "Spec Ops". 5. No Elites in multiplayer: This has been a long time coming for certain Halo fans. Especially those that favor SWAT over normal gametypes. 6. No Invasion: Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 didn't have invasion either, so this is a moot point. Seriously, it's like people don't even keep up with the news these days. :/

But I wanted waterworks.

2/5 isn't most

Welcome to the forum If you have any questions, feel free to PM myself or another moderator (the guys in red, blue, and gold). I hope you enjoy your time here.

Technic/Tekkit Platform: PC The Director's Rating: 10/10 This is a Minecraft Mod Pack that is ridiculously fun. It's just like normal Minecraft, except with machines and magic! Well, kind of magic. More like "Alchemy" as defined by "Full-Metal Alchemist". It includes the Equivalent Exchange mod, the Balkin's Weapon mod, the Buildcraft mod, and the Blutricity mod. There are more ores as well, such as copper, tin, and silver. There's also a couple more trees, like the Rubber Tree. You can build wires to connect different machines (even including electric furnaces that don't require coal!) and pipes to pump things into and out of chests! There are dozens and dozens of new things to craft in Technic/Tekkit. The difference between the two is that Tekkit is a newer modpack that is multiplayer, while Technic is single player. Tekkit also includes a single player mode, so Tekkit is probably the one you want. Combat: With the Balkin's Weapon mod, PVP becomes ridiculously intense. Not only are there new weapons (muskets, cannons, battle-hammers, etc) but there are also new armors. The weapons and armor can be made to the point where they are very OP, but these are commonly banned on PVP and anti-grief servers. Building: With Tekkit, building is easier than ever, while at the same time challenging. You can make it to where you can instantly get an entire inventory full of whatever you want to build with, but to build what you need to do that takes a very long time. There are many different things and ways you can build in normal Minecraft, and Tekkit adds to that exponentially. EMC: EMC is basically the in-game currency for creating items with Equivalent Exchange. Some things are worth very little EMC, like Cobblestone, while others are worth a lot of EMC, like diamonds. EMC can be transferred into creating items. For instance, if you "condense" a certain amount of cobblestone (around 8k) then you can get a diamond, and a diamond can be exchanged for 8000 cobblestone. Synopsis: This game is a mod-pack that is so different from the original game that it counts as it's own game. It has been described as "how Minecraft SHOULD be played" and I agree in earnest. It is 10x more fun and engaging as normal Minecraft, and is relatively easy to download and play. The only downpart is that you need 64-bit Java installed, and you need a "premium" Minecraft account to play it. The game comes with it's own launcher, and you can select to play Technic, Tekkit, Vanilla Minecraft, Yogsbox, and one other that I forget. While this game is widely popular in the UK and in certain circles elsewhere, it is largely unknown by the gaming community (i.e. most people here have no idea what it is). The Director's Recommendation: This game is MASSIVELY worth it to get. You do need to have a Minecraft account (i.e. the full minecraft game) but other than that it's completely free. I recommend getting it. I don't often give out 10's, but I couldn't find anything to rationalize a deduction for this game. You can find the download link with a google search for "Tekkit" and you can find instructional videos on how to download it on youtube. Seriously, if you have a Minecraft account and are a bit tired of Minecraft, you need to try this mod. Lonely girlfriends guaranteed. 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 see the others? Check out the menu! http://www.343indust...own-games-menu/

I would want the power to move and shape atoms to my will. That is the ultimate power. Someone shoots a fireball at me, and suddenly the fire goes out because I created a vacuum around the fireball. Someone throws a rock at me, and suddenly the rock is nothing but sand floating in the air. Someone tries to take my powers, and suddenly they are nothing but scattered atoms. I could create and destroy ANYTHING in the universe.

Did you know that SGTMJR Johnson was the first human being (and so far only) to drive a Scarab?

That's only if it's to the point where it impacts the match (i.e. you cannot possibly win). In Halo Reach, however, there is a feature that boots people who betray often enough to make it to where the other team will win no matter what. If the player betrays you enough that you can boot them, then you can report them for "Tampering; Cheating: The person used known or unknown in-game or other exploits to influence the results of a game." Killing a player for a power weapon is "Unsportsmanlike Conduct", and is grounds for avoiding, not reporting, a player.

We know. lmao

I nominate Choot 'em!

HA! I'm not even allowed to run and I already have a vote lolWHAT NOW SPYRO?!?! WHAT NOW!?!??!

I like the idea of this in a Social Slayer format. Competitively though, it wouldn't last long. I also think it would be more entertaining to play than to watch. If you add unlimited ammo, you wouldn't even need a secondary weapon. Which would be good, because people would literally run around spraying, praying, and switching weapons. Not to mention that we don't know much about the SAW other than it looks like a quick-kill weapon. For all we know, it could take half a clip to kill someone, or even 3/4 of a clip. In this case, people would probably play using their secondary more than the SAW, which defeats the purpose of the gametype. That's my thoughts. Also, that's MY helmet >.> lmao

public boolean getHit(Rectangle d, int player){ if (!touch && rect.intersects(d) && owner != 3){ return true; } else if (rect.intersects(d)) { touch = true; if (player = 0){ c = Color.BLUE; owner = player; } else { c = Color.RED; owner = player; } return false; } else { touch = false; return false; } } This is what Twin just said to use. lol And yes, there was an extra =.

Thanks again everyone. Total Mayh3m, One, GermanShepherdD, Absolute Dog, Spectral Jester, Twam, and I will continue to strive to make sure this forum stays troll and spambot free
