ONI Agent Locke

A couple years ago, Rainbow Six: Vegas was available as a free Game with Gold. I hadn't any experience with the franchise before, so I downloaded it and I enjoyed it. Got the second game soon after (one of three instances where a Game with Gold leads me to buy the sequel), and enjoyed it as well. It was definitely a new experience different from other FPS games I've played. Don't have it on Steam, though. It's only $10 I see, but I've a backlog of things I plan on purchasing already. Maybe if my paycheck is sizable enough this Friday, I'll get it.

I'm afraid this isn't the official 343 Industries forum, just a community site. www.halowaypoint.com will have the official Halo Reach forum.

I have all three, actually, and would enjoy playing. Quite experienced in Dead Rising 3 and Ryse, but not totally experienced in Titanfall. I'm somewhere in the 40's, and haven't played in a long time, but I'm quite good at it regardless.

I had the game freeze on me, too, but I still had the levels I beat on record. I just had to restart the level I was in the middle of playing.

There really needs to be some sort of disclaimer...

This. Someone probably complained about there being no real strong woman in the Avengers, so this was their best idea. Also, Thor is a demigod from Norse mythology. He existed before Marvel. There's artistic liberty, and then there's historical revisionism.

The armor set from Mass Effect 2? I don't know, I thought the open mouth thing looked kinda weird. Don't think it'd fit Halo at all. ...Oh, you mean the hovercraft? Well then, yes, I'd like to see it. UNSC air has always been a bit of a problem for Halo. Halo 3 had the Hornet, which was such a freaking tank that it was never put in any official maps until the Legendary DLC came out with new Hornets that were super nerfed. Halo: Reach had the Falcon, which had no real offensive capabilities whatsoever and was only effective when used with a communicating team, which is uncommon. Halo 4 just said "Screw it, bring in the Pelican with rockets and lasers!" The Kestrel is the perfect balance for the Banshee. The Banshee is fast, nimble, but fragile. The Kestrel is of a similar design. So I really hope it's put in the game and well balanced, so we can see more air combat in the game. But let's be real, we all know what Halo 5 needs: Pelicans and Phantoms.

Halo can and will compete with Destiny for the sole virtue that Halo doesn't fail basic game design. Come Fall 2015, Destiny will be as relevant as what I had for breakfast today. Ironic that one of Bungie's biggest competitors this year is their own past work.

Yep, you hit the nail on the head. Go to Halo Waypoint and you'll find this is a common sentiment. Not as honest as you're putting it, but it's in between the lines.

...huh? Yes, it should return. Why? It's a freaking mech. Was it implemented rather poorly? Indeed. It was underpowered because you could never hit anything with the bloody guns. But the fix is simple. Make the chaingun more accurate than the Stormtrooper cannon it has now, but make it do less damage. As for the missiles, their strength was that they could lock on. Their weakness was everything else. I'd say make the missiles faster, but decrease the explosion radius, to make them more precision-based, like the Gauss Hog, but not as powerful. In other words, buff the accuracy, nerf the damage.

Done! "ONI Spook" was an idea that I had a couple of months ago in an attempt to try and anonymize and individualize my identity online, rather than have it be synonymous with the mysterious character in the upcoming Halo games. ONI agents are sometimes referred to as "spooks" in the Halo universe, as are agents of the CIA and other such organizations in the real world. Unfortunately, that gamertag was already taken, so I remain Agent Locke. Here, though, I'll have some more levity. Glad to hear! Hard to find some thinking minds in this day and age. I'll be around, now that the shoutbox has granted me access! Apparently a bunch of functions like editing your own posts are locked until you reach 5 posts, which is obnoxious, but that is no longer an issue. I'm as Unchained as Steeve Reeves. Thanks! But uh... do you need any help with your decapitation addiction? That doesn't sound healthy at all.

Halo: Reach? Absolutely. I'll be there!

Ah, always looking for an excuse to play some Halo! Loving all the Halo events here. I'll try my best to be there. Shouldn't be a problem. GT: ONI Agent Locke Here's a time converter for everyone: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20141017T19 I also hesitate to call this "Dexter's Labtacular," or "Dexter's Lagalicious," (lagalicious was a word I invented back in Halo 3).
