Maestro

Happy birthday to my favourite FPS series! May your legacy span for generations to come!

It is the black sheep of the bunch, and I see why by watching Let's Plays. The plot's a bit hard to accept at times. Oh, and another game I'm playing: SIMCITY 4!

My account hasn't been banned for possessing Race or Infection, both of which are modded gametypes. If you have modded gametypes available for download on your file share, you run a much higher risk of getting the banhammer. As for this mini gametype, you won't get banned for playing it or downloading it. Just be wary of having it on your file share. Otherwise, it's no problem. Heck, Mini Slayer is an integral part of my "Portal Tower" map!

I've only played the first 7, so I can't really say whether or not I'd enjoy playing 9. Since it is a part of what some people call the golden age of the franchise, I bet I'd like it.

No way. A JXZAW

FINAL FANTASY VIII... with more of an attempt to flesh out the other playable characters. They're pretty much a peanut gallery for the entire game. :/ Majora's Mask also needs a remake. If Wind Waker gets an HD remake and Ocarina of Time gets a 3D remake, why doesn't Majora's Mask get either? And Tiberian Sun could also use a remake. It's a fun game, but it hasn't aged well. :/

Halo, Legend of Zelda, older Mario games, any FF before 8, Chrono Trigger and Cross, and Super Smash Bros!

I didn't really like Halo 1's life system. Sure, it's more realistic, but in terms of gameplay it gets annoying after awhile. You don't want to go around a corner too fast or else you'll get your face blown off in two shots. How come you don't want Promethean weapons? It's good to have weapons that have multiple uses in the heat of battle. You can take away someone's shields with a Suppressor and finish them off without switching weapons, whereas an Assault Rifle isn't as effective against shields but rips unshielded foes to shreds. Although they could be tweaked to inflict a happy medium in terms of damage. A Lightrifle shouldn't deal as much shield damage as a Carbine, but inflict more than a DMR or BR. Reach had the vehicle stats just right. They exploded after taking enough damage, but they could take a lot of punishment. In Halo 4, it felt like every vehicle was made of paper. If the next Halo has a life meter for your vehicle like Covenant vehicles in Halo 1 did, that would help out a lot in battle. You can gauge your vehicle's condition based on its appearance, but there are some instances where you're not sure if you can peek around the corner in your Ghost and live or just get massacred. I like Halo 4's forge canvas maps. Combine them in a list with Halo 3's Sandbox and Halo 4's forge, and you've got endless possibilities. Other than those aforementioned points, I agree with everything you said.

"Thanks for the lift, gents," Walter yelled over the sound of the Pelican's engines humming. A Marine beside the cockpit waved. Frederik and Duke toted their equipment, while Walter hefted the shotgun. A couple of other soldiers helped carry equipment off the aircraft. With a whoosh, the Pelican ascended to the sky, and flew off over the woods surrounding the house. The three walked to the back door, all holding equipment. Walter set his luggage down, and reached out for the doorknob. Without turning it, the door opened. Any semblance of joy rushed out of his face in an instant. He knelt down and opened the shotgun case. He loaded the gun, then crept into the house. "Stay here," he whispered.

I know. And nope. One of the JXZAW clones

As the three guys frantically packed up their gear, Walter turned around to see an ODST standing at the door. "Sorry to drop in here... I know, I love family quality time too, but is everyone here okay?" the armoured man asked. "Nice strategy out there never se-..." another ODST walked in. Walter focused on the other soldier. "Yeah I know Buck, Pretty cool. I just found some campers, good thing we cleared the area out," the first one replied. Frederik and Duke gazed at the soldiers. The other one laughed, "Campers? Are you sure that this is the best place to camp?" One of them looked down, looking at his boots. He whispered, "Well.... f*ck...." Walter sighed. "You two done yammerin' yet?" he cleared his throat. "I'm Walter Kaiser. Boys, introduce yourselves to these fine gentlemen." "I'm Frederik Kaiser," Frederik said. "D-D-Duke van D-D-Duke," Duke peeped. "We were resting up to go hunting tomorrow, when we heard gunfire a little while ago." He glanced at each one. "I guess you took care of it, didn't you...?" He looked at Buck's helmet. He could barely make out the man's face. "Buck?" A sniper shot rang throughout the woods, followed by a plethora of other guns firing. "Let's get going, boys!"

Lest we forget those who ventured into the howling darkness of wars passed, and never returned. Let us never forget the courage and valour that soldiers throughout the world demonstrate and encourage.

Cortana's death didn't make me sad at all. *prepares flame shield* Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross have more emotional moments and endings. Even Skyward Sword got me a bit choked up at times. I guess I couldn't form any sort of emotional attachment to Cortana, since I always thought of her as a nagging voice in the background while I was shooting stuff and a series of hallucinations in Halo 3. Her appearance in Halo 4 kinda creeped me out, and then she started to turn into Overly Attached Girlfriend and croaked shortly after. *prepares another flame shield* Although the mission in which she did perish was amazing. The flying sequence in the beginning, albeit frustrating with all the crap flying at you and obstacles to avoid, was an adrenaline rushed ride as the UNSC prepared to fend off this ancient destroyer from the cosmos and the Chief ripped along to do what he does best: be a badass, kick butt and take names, break necks and cash checks.

C-c-c-combo breaker Sarge

Frederik, Duke, and Walter sat inside the large tent. Another gunshot rang out. "Couldn't it be other people hunting?" Frederik asked. "Could be," Walter whispered. "If they're hunting for trouble. Gúta come out at night, and usually make a ruckus past 25:00 until sunup... but it's only 22 o'clock right now." "How close are they?" Duke squeaked. Walter listened for any gunfire. "I'd say a few hundred metres away." The cacophony of noise erupted from an assault rifle for a second. "They can't see us," he said reassuringly. "Too many trees in the way." An explosion rocked the distant woods. The three jumped. Duke hid in his sleeping bag. Walter stood up. "Get your stuff. We're leaving now."

NOPE. JXZAW

FOR THE BROTHERHOOD! In C&C, I always go with Nod. But otherwise, I'm usually good.

Oh stop, you'll make us blush!

I'll take you on with my 6 Level 100 Kakunas!

I'm sure a gametype like that can be arranged. Too bad I don't have a gold membership right now...
