Questions/info are in yellow

Answers in white 

 

1. In your opinion what Halo game has the biggest replay value and why?

I'll have to say Halo Reach. Unlike most people, I was able to tolerate bloom, armor lock, and all the other shenanigans. I didn't particularly like them, but I was able to tolerate them. Additionally, Halo Reach had custom games. There was just so much you could do when you run out of things in Matchmaking or when you've finished the campaign. You can play minigames, infection, competitive, race, etc. I know Halo 4 has most of these things but Reach has two more things that makes it trump Halo 4 in my opinion.
 
That would be the campaign and Firefight. Firstly, I absolutely love Firefight. I even made my own custom Firefight gametypes. I think Firefight is way more enjoyable than H4's Spartan Ops and I have so much more great memories playing Reach's FF than H4's SO.
 
Lastly, the campaign. Even after finishing Reach's campaign, I still replayed a lot of the missions because they were so fun. Not to mention Reach was the first Halo I beat on Legendary. I absolutely love Reach's storyline about Noble team. In my opinion, Halo Reach had the best campaign.

 

2. If you could add or remove any feature in the upcoming Halo game what would it be?

 I would choose to remove Infinity settings (if they include it in the next Halo game, that is). I think Infinity settings played a very big role in the huge drop of Halo's community. The classic, competitive Halo experience was gone and was replaced with a gametype full of randomness, rage-inducing moments, and everything that's not supposed to be on Halo.
 
Personal ordnance and personal loadouts don't belong in Halo. I think it's the fact that you can spawn with a mini shotgun in your pocket and get a dubstep cannon after a couple assists is what made a lot of people leave this game. It just wasn't "Halo" anymore.

 

3. What advice do you have for anyone to start their own Youtube channel?

Well I would suggest that they should exert effort in the videos they make. If you half-*** as a video, people will usually notice and that's never good. If you want to earn subscribers, you need to show that you deserve them. I started my channel in the bad days of Halo when everyone left already so my channel's growth has been rather slow.

 

4. What do you love about the Halo community?

 Something I've always admired about the Halo community is how people band together to fight for a cause. I've seen countless petitions fighting for various causes. Whether it be the servers of an old Halo game being shut down or fighting for better settings in Halo 5 competitive gameplay, the Halo community is prepared to band together to fight for the game they love.

 

5. If a grunt was a rapper what would his rap name be?

Lil' Bomber

 

6. What game are you most looking forward too?

Halo 2 Anniversary. Don't get me wrong, I'm exited for Destiny and Halo 5. But I just have so many great memories playing Halo 2 that just the speculation of H2A made me poopoo all over the place. I absolutely loved Halo 2 as a kid and I hope the rumor turns out to be true.

 

7. What other games do you enjoy playing?

 I enjoy playing mostly shooters. When I'm not playing Halo, I'm either playing Hitman, Dead Space, Gears of War, Crysis, CoD (the older ones), etc. I used to play Minecraft a lot before. I have a really awesome world that I'm debating on showing in my YT channel. I also play Dungeon Defenders quite a lot.

Great interview Zan and Stinky!

 

I really enjoy your maps and channel Zandril, I love the fresh amount of content you're constantly pushing out (not a diarriah joke) and the effort you put forth.

 

Also, you should totally do a showcase of your Minecraft world!

This might be the most important question known to mankind! Why won't you ask/answer it?!

When you're riding in a slay
And you hear something spray
Diarrhea diarrhea
 
When your sitting on a mountain 
and your butt becomes a fountain 
Diarrhea, Diarrhea
 
When your stomach is in pain,
and your making chocolate rain
Diarrhea, diarrhea
 
When you think it's chicken soup 
but it's really liquid poop. 
Diarrhea diarrhea
 
When you think your friends are joking 
but your pants are brown and soaking: 
Diarrhea, diarrhea

 

 

I love the fresh amount of content you're constantly pushing out (not a diarriah joke)

It'd be hilarious if it was.

It's not an obsession. It's a way of life.
