The "Dive Bomber" should have been there from the beginning. I do not jet pack, but always got a kick out of a player pulling it of on me or anyone else. Some have really turned it into an art form.

Think of it like this, you are getting the game that started it all in today's modern graphics, arguably some of the best maps ever made in Halo for MM and some new achievements to boot. It was the best campaign in the series, in my opinion, and be available for group play. The seven maps for MM will be more original maps than got shipped with Reach. The landscapes in campaign, now overlaid with a new skin, will make it feel like a new game. I know money is tight for some of us, but you'll have around a year to save for Halo 4. That's like only 15 cents a day you have to drop in the change jar. (Jester can do the quid, Euro, or whatever conversion for me) I think you will enjoy it and get a lot of play out of it. Besides, it will give 343ind. a sense of where the fan base is and inject money into 343ind. and MS Live in account fees. The are investing heavily into H 4 with the hopes of success, I will support them.

You know "S" if you are going to "play" like a 343ind. employee you should keep a dictionary and thesaurus nearby so you can use the correct spelling and phrasing of words. lol "Noted!" lol

Alex just don't try to explain or debate a point with her. She is completely in love with AA's and won't accept any thought otherwise. I understand what you mean by getting sucked in by someone who waits till the last second and AL's and destroy a Warthog an all occupants. It is easier to just state your thoughts or opinions and avoid getting "sucked" into her word game.

I have been around this hallowed site since mid July I believe and in that time have really come to appreciate certain members for their offering to the community. This isn't a tribute thread, just me personally showing gratitude to some of this sites "Heavy Hitters". Twinreaper / Our resident know it all that freely gives technical advice and brings clarity to complex questions and misunderstood events or thoughts. John 117 / Willingly spends his time scouring the internet seeking out news and information to keep us in the loop. Spectral Jester / Always vigilant, always well mannered and keeping the forum and it's members headed in the right direction. Thanks guys. I know this is a short list and don't want others to feel left out. We all contribute in our own way. These are the ones who always stand out in my mind when I think about the best this forum has to offer. There was no financial inducement provided by said members to get me to say these things. Anything you hear is contrary to the truth.

Dude....what are you, Mc Guyver? lol It is hard not to admire your knowledge, not that I have tried, I sincerely hope you are a permanent fixture of this site.

Spawn killing in Griffball or any other game type is not condsidered cheating by the system or most players. I t does suck getting caught at spawn repeatedly, but you should not get banned for it. The spawn locations dynamic spawns and safe zones could remove most of it if implemented properly.

It is so simple, just quit trying to cheat the system. You know it is cheating, everybody does, then they come in here and complain or ask for help. Do it once, 24 hrs., twice is a week and possible XBOX ban, then the sky is the limit. Just play the game the way it was intended, it you try to tell yourself or others, "but this or that", you know it is wrong. 'Nuff said!

Yesssssss......I am AWESOME! Thanks Zed......................................awwww shucks it is an opposite day! Anyways, the person above me started this fun thread and should sleep each night knowing he changed the world for the better! The person below me still believes a "thread" is the stuff he uses to mend his worn socks with!

.....pizza crusts to a hungry.......

Blur, by Bizaar, is one friiggin' bad ass racing game. It can be bought used for $20.00 and new for $40.00, maybe even $20.00 new at Big Lots. It is not easy, but men is it a blast. If you get it, give a friend request and I will train you into the game. (As long as you are not a completely annoying ass!)

If I lived across the street from him I would call the cops every single time that ass turned it on. Who in the world would want to live any where near that?

The "Signature Shop" that is pinned at the top of this forum.

Can't say i love it. I still commit suicide with it about half the time I pick it up! lol ! I tend to use it for bait.

Ummmm....yeah. Okay, what in the world are you talking about? lol

My apologies for not continuing the story this past week. I am visiting my mother and remodeling her bathroom and it has only giving me short times to be in the forums. There will be a massive addition in the next update to make up for it. Thank you for your understanding. Dog

Well I'll be a son-of-a-.............................nice one bro'! Now......let's here it, drum roll sounds, your prediction for Halo 4. Take your time now, this will live on in the history of this forum and the internet in general, so no pressure!

I can definitely get behind this idea. Being Halo 4 is following H3 the incorporation of the existing armors that would definitely rock with the new graphics and give continuity to the game. I do expect some new armor variants and hope they are just stand alone armors. I voted for all of them.

I personally feel that John 117 should have his original, if only graphically updated, armor for campaign. When it comes to match making I am old school about simple design and color. You are a soldier after all, not a peacock strutting around. I am not denigrating your post, just emphatically getting my point across. I do realize that some players really do want customizable everything and won't vote against it.

Judging from the viewed location, the simple lines and figuring 343ind. or Bungie and their cohorts in design would release ideas on their own I would say it's fan based. Still it is a unique idea for a ground based transport and weapons platform that could rival the Covies.

It doesn't now!

Since the first moment Halo Combat Evolved hit the market players became immersed into a new world of gaming and FPS (first person shooters). It did not take long for the game to gain a cult following that later became known as the "Halo Nation". The games that followed grew a fan base that had no rival. Bungie furthered the interaction of fans with each other and itself with Bungie.net and the creation of the Seventh Column. There were, from the beginning, discussions about the game, the story, what fans really liked, what they did not like and wanted to see added or changed. There were changes made from game to game that advanced play with each step forward. Better graphics, slight improvements in weapons, new additions in technology within the games story line (ie bubble shield, vehicles, etc.) that kept the series fresh and continued the system of ranks and game types that had been there from the beginning. There were improvements to reduce cheating and remove glitches from the game. Then came a series of releases that were a departure from the original. Halo Wars, ODST and Reach were unlike the previous games. You were now in the past, fighting as regular soldiers in campaigns and in Reach's match making. Halo Wars was presented as an overhead view unit play game that had less emphasis on the spartan and more on the overall cast of fighters. We were soon left with Bungies departure and 343inds. arrival on the scene. Bungies final gift to the fans was meet with heavy criticism and quickly we saw the number of players drop and hold near what they are today. Was it the game? Was there too much change? Was the fan base already on a mass exit from the series? Were we giving to much of a voice and literally talked ourselves into our respective corners refusing to accept anything but what we as an individual wanted? This thread is to hopefully allow us to give our opinions freely in a single post. Try not to criticize others beliefs or opinions, just give you own. What Happened?

Bill Gates, like him or not,he created the empire of Microsoft that has given us what we have today. I don't believe in ghosts! lol Would you rather climb a high, cold mountain or descend into a deep, dark cave?
