The Director

Oh dear. Not only does it have a protrusion on it that makes it look semi-phallic, but it has two protrusion's on the side that look like... Well, you get the idea. xD Well, I know what I'm going to call people who wear that helmet if I want to rustle some jimmies. LMAO

Okay, firstly, REALLY? That's the worst example you could have possibly come up with. One, because it implies that I'm being racist (or that you are racist and are trying to hide it) and two because it doesn't relate to the saying at all. Muslims do not walk like a terrorist and talk like a terrorist, and terrorists don't walk like a Muslim or talk like a Muslim. Terrorists are from MANY different races and religious beliefs (IRA, Czech's, etc.) Muslims and Muslim Extremists don't even have the same beliefs! Muslims believe in peace, Extremists believe in killing everyone who doesn't obey them and their God. VERY different beliefs and interpretations of the same religion. However, this is not the same scenario for The Storm and The Covenant. The Storm was a part of The Covenant (I want to make it clear that I say was because The Covenant seat of power is gone, not because they separated themselves from The Covenant) and use the exact same tactics as they do. How do I know this? Watch the Stage Demo. You will see an Elite with two grunts and two jackals. This is your basic Covenant fire squad. An Elite with some grunts and Jackals was used by The Covenant IN EVERY SINGLE HALO GAME! But let's humor you and say that The Storm uses different tactics. So do the Zealot Class Sangheili. They use stealth while the rest of The Covenant uses brute force, but they were still part of The Covenant. The Ranger Class Sangheili also use different tactics than their comrades, and THEY were still part of The Covenant. And The Covenant WAS NOT a faction. The Covenant was a treaty between various species that opted their cooperation. There were factions IN The Covenant, but The Covenant itself was not a faction. The Storm wasn't even a faction within The Covenant, it was a task force. From what we've been told they don't even know that they no longer are a task force. Which means that in their minds they think they still work for The Covenant. I'll say this again for emphasis, The Storm (from what we've been told) is not rogue in the sense that they broke from The Covenant, but is rogue in the sense that their mission requires long periods of being out of contact with their superiors IN THE COVENANT. Your argument against this is weak for two reasons. Firstly, you tried using a strawman tactic, which is weak in and of itself. Secondly, you ignored parts of what I said and couldn't provide an adequate counter argument for those parts (which is what lead to the strawman tactic). The part you ignored was the fact that the characters in the game actually SAY that they are The Covenant.

They patched it then? Or do you mean in MLG CTF?

I triple checked, and honestly there isn't a straightforward answer. I know you can on Vista H2, but I don't remember every coming across someone playing as an elite on H2 on XBL. I'll ask Twinreaper.

The Grunts who were chosen for "suicide squads" were abused and drugged to make them willing to do that. Not ALL of the grunts were, mind you, just the ones chosen as suicide bombers.

There looks like there is a bit of bloom, but the bullet spread (which was the actual problem in Reach) looks to have gone WAY down, which I'm happy about. And I liked the BR sounds. It sounds remarkably similar to an M16A-4 on burst fire.

In CTF on Zealot (normal version, but possibly MLG version as well) it's possible to completely trap your opponent in their spawn by picking up a few power weapons and their flag. They will always spawn on the lower stairs (the stairs near blue or red outro lift), and they will always spawn in the same 6 spots. This may have been patched (but I doubt it).

Nope. The only way you can play with Elites in H2 multiplayer is through modding. I checked before I posted. lmao

The grunts are drugged and brainwashed. Not really much of a choice... lmao

Hope to see you around. We are a very friendly forum, so you'll probably spend more time here than you think you will lol If you have any questions feel free to PM myself or a moderator (blue and yellow names).

Same reason as grunts I suppose. ;D lol

But the voice actor is on vacation because of his long and arduous work on Halo 4! D: Plus he's old, he really needs his rest. :3

Exactly. This measure isn't a permanent one, but is supposed to buy time for the next release in the series to come out.

Did you know that all of the remaining Spartan II's and III's were slated to serve aboard the UNSC Infinity? It's not clear as to whether or not they made it on board before the UNSC Infinity picked up MC's distress call though.

Lol in FUD, MC is played by an actor. Not a voice actor. That's why his voice sounds different. The voice actor is enjoying his well earned break (and probably large paycheck) after H4.

I'm actually getting a new computer here in the next couple of months, so let me get back to you on that lol Does H2 on PC have campaign at all?

Welcome to the forum. We're pretty friendly here, so you should have a great time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the shoutbox or PM a moderator or myself.

Your rating isn't just based on your k/d. It's based on how well you perform (medals gathered, objectives taken, sprees, etc.) which is why you can get a k/d of 6.0 and still get a rating of under 1500.

Depends on how you say drive lol And actually, at the time Chief wasn't all that experienced either. I'm not sure exactly when the date of this is, but it pretty much had to be before the Fall of Reach, which means it could be any time from when MC had his first combat with the covies up to the point where MC goes back to Reach to help defend it. Also, back in those days it was more common for Spartans to work alone (in their own teams, mind you) rather than groups of Marines.

Iron Man. He's wearing full body armor, has advanced weaponry, and can fly. ODST's can't fly. They fall with style. Iron Man is very close to a Spartan wearing MJOLNIR armor. And a squad of ODST's will get their butts handed to them by a Spartan NOT wearing MJOLNIR armor (just ask Master Chief). Around 50, but only 7 or 8 in their necks.

There is a live action trailer for Halo 4. It leads into the EA stage Demo. As for the rest, the story is about a kid (teenager at best) who was pretty much pressured into joining the UNSC by his family, who eventually becomes a bad*** in his own right because Master Chief inspired him. This kid ends up on the Infinity, which is why his story is mentioned at all. Also, I think your opinion on what MC says in the trailers is unfounded. You should take into account that he's talking to recruits, not soldiers, which is why he isn't as hard on them as he would be a battle hardened ODST. And nitpicking over "Drive"? Really? :/

Good I'm glad to have helped bring you back to the fold. Now, let us all wait in anticipation for the glory of the coming of Halo 4!

Quite simply, it keeps people playing the game, as I've said about three times now. If people play the game, then they are more likely to play the sequel (which means BUYING the sequel). This is why popular FPS games (and any multiplayer game for that matter) that has more than a 2 year half-life ends up cutting a few playlists to force players to populate the popular playlists. While there are a few exceptions to this rule (i.e. games that only have two or three playlists), this is something that's been going on for a very long time.

You mean Halo 3? lol Because I don't think you could play as them in Halo 2. As a matter of fact I'm sure you couldn't. Unless you mean playing as the Arbiter in the Campaign, which doesn't have anything to do with what we are talking about lol Well, this is the part where you have to cut 343i some slack. This is their first Halo game (Bungie's first Halo game didn't let you play as Elite's either, btw lol) so they are trying more of a "storyline multiplayer" thing. If it works, then yay. If not, then it won't be in Halo 5.

Do you happen to have a link to support this claim? Because if you are talking about the UNSC Weaponry video, that was all of the UNSC weapons, not just the ones that are loadout available. (The Spartan Laser and Rail Gun should have tipped you off if this is the case lol)
