90. Playing on Easy...while being my little sister. (Cue video of someone running around at random while shooting straight up and being shot by Grunts and Elites who have absolutely no difficulty in handling the situation)

Dragon Ball Z Powers. Not only would it crush nearly anything by flicking it with a finger, but it can be trained extremely quickly to become even more powerful.

Uh...not fun? On the contrary, Halo 4 is too easy to be fun on any difficulty below Legendary. Look, your network mode has to be set to Xbox Live, so go to your Spartan Hub each time you start playing. Also, you can't go by rally point. If you're co-oping, each mission must be done in one go. You can do multiple missions in one go, but if you, for example, do one mission and half of the next, then quit on co-op, you have to restart the next one. No way around it. To be on the safe side, go solo Legendary with no skulls while your network mode is Xbox Live and don't replay any levels in between. No going up to Level 5 then going back to play Level 3 on Heroic, for example. No adding skulls or changing your rally point. Just play until you save and quit, then next time you play campaign, change nothing at all and just resume from where you left off. Also, to know for sure, each time you complete a level, you will see a commendation bar on the right of your screen pop up. If it doesn't pop up, save and quit to check your commendations, and replay the level if it doesn't show up. I just did a straight Legendary playthrough in a single weekend, following the advice I just gave you strictly. Got Mark VI no problem.

Dramatic/artistic license. They wanted Chief to look epic and massive, so they upsized him in all the photorealistic CGI cinematics. It's not a plot hole and probably not an error of any kind, I think they did it on purpose. Either that, or whatever the Librarian did to him made him taller.

I prefer my grenades going where I aim them, so I don't like the bouncy frags much, but they do have the most sheer explosion damage, and I see them used frequently on Matchmaking. They're spammed by noobs so much that I had to ditch Dexterity for Explosives.

The soundtracks of all the Halo games, but especially 2 and 4, and the soundtracks of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and Dark of the Moon.

The Spartan stuff. The augmentations (Actually working, please. I don't want to be paralyzed, killed, or maimed), armor, etc. The sheer awesome would be shocking.
-
No, but I want to.

Oh. Sorry, just that sarcasm tends to have a tone with it, which obviously doesn't happen in text.

Jul M'dama to be a main character in halo 5
Axilus Prime replied to Itz JoshE's topic in Halo 5: Guardians
I want that, and for him to be a bossfight. And imagine if in Halo 6, the Didact absorbed the remains of the Bornstellar-Didact (since the mutation makes them compatible) to increase his power, then 'Mdama gets Promethean-hybrid power armor. And then there can be a 2v2 boss fight, Arby and the Chief together against those two! Of course, for co-op Campaign, one player should be the Arbiter in that fight. -
I want this, so much. I hope the 720 launches this year with H2 Anniversary as a launch title, so they can take their time with Halo 5 and make it great. Seriously, I've wanted to play this since I first saw the cutscenes, but I've been reluctant to go for it since I have completionist tendencies with Halo 4, and an Anniversary might come out.

Oh, gun laws will prevent school shootings? Please, do tell me all about how criminals follow laws. Guns are good in the right hands, used for self-defense. It's wrong to place the punishment of gun restriction on people who don't use their guns for evil things.

Well, I suppose I did only try it once. Though, trust me on this: Getting a high streak of kills and the rush of adrenaline from almost dying? I get that in Halo too. More than a month sounds reasonable, I guess I will give it a second chance. But I doubt it'll top Halo in my books, since the very first time I played Halo, the pure epic just grabbed me right on the first level of Combat Evolved. Seriously, just that first level inspired me to push through the game despite the rigors of lag, my terrible aim with a mouse, and random IRL distractions that frequently resulted in Flood killing me. And the whole game was fun. Yes, even the Library, which I've heard people call the living hell of Halo. "What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!"

I say we get Promethean vehicles. But not just generic run of the mill vehicles. I think Prometheans should board vehicles, then rip out their cores from their backs and stuff them into the vehicle, which transforms the vehicle into a powered-up version of itself. At this point the Knight disintegrates. Ghosts with rear turrets and four frontal guns, Wraiths with Incineration Cannon blasts, Scorpions that fire orange/yellow Spartan Lasers without charging up, etc. And of course a 50% increase in vehicle health. A difficult fight on Legendary. Then, to get a Promethean vehicle, you must board back, and then you rip out the core and take the driver's seat. Congratulations, you just earned pure epic. And as for Multiplayer, just have them spawn as power vehicles. Rare, the kind of thing the two teams (Or in an FFA match, everyone) will fight over.

This has got to be a joke thread! XD Definitely Halo 4. I've tried BO2 at an arcade, due to a suggestion. It was utterly ridiculous. Makes me wonder how anyone can call Halo 4 COD-like or chaotic, BO2 takes the cake there. And yeah, the COD and Crysis communities are insane. I just laughed for a second when I shot someone 3 times in the...well, it was between the crotch and the chest, I can't tell with COD, and then some crazy guy yelled, "Shut the **** up you ****ing ***! Suck my ****, *** Prime!" The hilarious part is he couldn't have been older than 10. And Crysis, though slightly off topic, has the older people being immature too. I said Wort Wort Wort to my brother, and some guy (Clearly 15 or older) heard it on the mic and said, "**** off, we don't need Halo fags like you. Just SIGN THE **** OUT!" That one actually made me mad. I actually spent the match prioritizing him above the other enemies. Whenever I was attacked by multiple people, he was the one I killed before I went down.

I think all the Armor Abilities are good and balanced. They're all circumstantial and can be beaten fairly easily. Despite the flaws in the game, I think Armor Abilities were done right this time. I think Jetpack's better than Camo, though. It's more CQC and it relies more on skill than luck. With camo, you just switch it on and hope you aren't seen. With Jetpack, you have to still aim. So if you have the skill for it, a jetpack can throw off the enemy's aim and let you win by using yours the best you can. If you don't, you end up throwing off your aim more than the enemy's, and you die. You end up dying to death.
-
No, no, you're all wrong. It's for sticking with the sticky detonator, then having a teammate drive toward the enemies and intentionally getting boarded. I think step 3 is fairly obvious from there.
-
All right. I can do a wide range of voices, anything from Chief to Bane (TDKR version) to Optimus Prime to even the Didact (Doesn't sound quite as epic, but it's recognizable).
-
I utterly despise Palmer. First I thought she was ok, but after she shot the person responsible for a program that saved the entire galaxy 4-7 times, and the human race 5-10 times, I hated her. The ends don't always justify the means, but in this case they most certainly do. That, and Palmer is obnoxious.
-
Well, that should do it. I'll try that audacity program, it should work better than what I did before for other voices (Recording a vid on the spot, and then simply downloading it as a sound file.) Anyway, since this is a machinima, they would all be Spartans, right? Does that mean I should add the voice distortion, like how they sound like they're talking through a helmet?
-
Yeah, but lame armor's still lame armor, even though sometimes it's better than the other lame armor. Thankfully 50-40% of the armor is still good/passable, depending on mood and the combinations/colors they're used in. Ha. Fail. Oh. Well, all I know about Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is DRILL KAMEHAMEHA or something like that. Well, see, that's what makes it more positive.

That was a cool match, if a bit chaotic. I have quite a few moments, some good, some embarrassing. The Good: -On Shutdown, blasted Hunters with an Incineration Cannon while flying around them, killing one. Almost died, but managed to hold off the other one with a lot of jetpacking, spinning, and shooting him with a Needler from the back. Then I spotted two Jackals in the distance. Ran away and jetpacked over a shot directed at my back, headshotted both Jackals, and got more Incineration Cannon ammo. Killed the Hunter, then when faced with Banshees, I lured them to me with Carbine shots and blasted with the cannon when they were close enough. A dead Elite pilot landed in front of me, so... "Eh...what the heck." And the teabagging commenced. -In Spartan Ops, while solo-ing, headshotted so many enemies so quickly that everyone watching was surprised, and then managed to sword block and kill two Elites in a row. -On War Games, a player with insane skills to the point of making my brother think he was a fire rate hacker was owning my entire team with an Overshield on him. After witnessing his sheer power so many times before, I had enough. I just ran up behind him, assassinated him with my favorite animation, (snap the back and neck over the knee) and ended up saving all our lives. -On Reclaimer, going for the Mortardom achievement, went through the frustratingly horrible task of killing a Wraith driver without destroying the Wraith or removing its mortar. I had to commit suicide each time I failed to preserve enough Wraiths, and there were so many times I was killed while entering a stolen Wraith. Eventually, it came to blowing up one Wraith, destroying the gun turret of another, and then getting out. I had to furiously headshot with a Lightrifle while avoiding mortar blasts, not an easy task. In the end, he died, and I got in the Wraith--then narrowly dodged incoming mortar shots. I used hit-and-run to take out 3 Wraiths, and in battle with the fourth, I shot after the other did, but by that time, the other blast was too close. I died, and was about to break out into a rage, as it had taken nearly an hour just to do that, and then... Boom. Right before I respawned, my blast struck its target. Miraculously, I saw the achievement unlocked sign right below. Pure awesome. The Bad: -On Spartan Ops, I respawned 10 times in a crowd of Elites, dying each time. After the 10th death, I respawned in midair--above a lava pit. Then I respawned 5 more times in the same crowd before finally getting a sniper position spawn. Still horribly frustrating, though. -On War Games, my brother fired an Incineration Cannon at an enemy near me. He died...but the explosion force sent me to my death. -On Campaign, I was with my older brother, co-op on Requiem. I confronted a group of Grunts and Jackals, and realized I was dying. I retreated to cover each time it happened, and then came back to fight again. I was wondering how I was losing so badly, then realized I was being shot in the back with a Battle Rifle, which ceased to fire whenever I got cover to make it even more inconspicuous. It was so much pure genius that I didn't even get mad, but instead laughed with him. Unlike my younger brother, my older brother can betray and still be awesome about it.

Thanks, everyone! (Begins to laugh) No, I still go on Waypoint. But someone on Waypoint mentioned that the atmosphere here is more positive, so I showed up. So far, so good. I still use waypoint, I'm not banned. And I AM STALKING YOU TO KILL YOUR FAMILY--just kidding. I was surprised to see you were already here--and with that insane-looking avatar Onarax once had, no less. I might see the RP, just to check if it's good. Expies my rear end! I stopped doing that. In fact, the expies I have on BZP are either going to die or fade away into eternal limbo. I only have this color scheme because I honestly liked it even before I liked Transformers. And as you probably noticed I no longer have the Optimus Prime Warrior helmet. Only reason I had it at all that one time was because Recruit looked boring.

You have got to be kidding me. Campaign is where the great story came from, and it's my favorite part of this game. The main reason I play multiplayer is because Campaign doesn't last. It's a linear story, and once you win it on Legendary, you're done in that area unless you're trying out some skulls. (Which I do on occasion.) Multiplayer's almost immeasurably important, but if you think Campaign is for wanks, you can shove a Lightrifle right up your...

(You just reminded me of my stupidest death sequence ever, JL.) 87. Stupid Respawn Points (Cue video of a red and blue Spartan killing various Covenant, then being Fuel Rodded from the back. He respawns 10 times in a crowd of Elites and dies repeatedly, respawns once in midair above a lava pit, then respawns even more in the same crowd of Elites)
