I know what I'm gonna post here is probably old news, but the AI in this game is flat out amazing. Every time I play I keep seeing new tactics that enemies use to get at me, and it's so refreshing and challenging.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone do that ever in my entire life. Like, really, this joke is brand new to me. Hilarious.

The fact you say that even though you've never played with me before in Halo shows something about your observational skills too.

I don't always complain here first off, second I'm very calm in real life and on Live even when I complain I'm never upset about Halo.

I'm sure I was left off the list for a reason. So stop acting like you know everything about me because you've never given me a chance.

Yes dirtbag we should get together and shoot each other, but I'm not allowed in your parties because as EazyB made it abundantly clear I'm a terrible person.

(Sorry I just have to stick up for myself, I'm sick of the elitism on this place)

I can think of few things more satisfying than getting to shoot some of you guys repeatedly in the face. Bring Striker and Juices along as well. We can use halo to work out our differences.

I agree with you about the GAF Elitism, even though I'm just as guilty of it... but that's probably a much larger issue with all of GAF that goes well beyond our little (giant) thread.
I actually find this thread more tolerable in forms of general discussion, mostly thanks to the community at large having moved on to discuss other games - leaving us to talk about the much deeper effects of game balance / universe / etc.

I don't totally hate you guys because you're obviously hardcore halo fans - a common bond. But with the constant complaining, I'm sometimes convinced you'd be happier playing another game.

I it would be fair to point out that there's not a big difference between you posted (which wasn't really telling people what to do and acting like mod, it was more telling people what you'd like them to do, in an angry fashion), and the people who constantly bitch about this or that in the thread ("take that shit to the OT,") or even the regular snarky comments people like JDFox make about the content of the thread. (like Dani's post.)

Just 'sayin, we all got serious problems. It's what unites us. <3

Also, Spermatic cracks me up. I've never enjoyed complaining so much, seriously.

I've never found AI to be a strong point in any RTS gametype. Switching of the difficulty levels usually just entails quicker movements to the next command, and a different attitude (attack, turtle, expand, etc.)

RTS, IMO, are for playing other humans and trying to decide what kind of person he is and what he will do.

I think as long as there's some story in the forms of cutscnens pre and post level and maybe minor cutscenes in the single player, it'll be decent. Since in-game there's not much room for story advancement playing a REAL TIME (everything is happening in real time to clarify) game. I don't know if that makes any sense.

Then again I won't be playing Halo Wars for its story either, I'm just hoping it has good RTS balance/gameplay.

O and I know the sound/music is going to be awesome. Really excited to see what that Wwise sound engine can do for games, looked quite promising when I saw a demo of it earlier.

No doubt; it makes other games, regardless of how much realism (as opposed to sci-fi) the strive for, feel so fake.

Although you were wrong about me not having played you your, you're partially right. I don't know what kind of person you are outside of this thread and haven't played with you much so I don't even really know how you conduct yourself playing Halo. What I do know is you're a jackass in this thread.

If I really wanted to, I could do a post by post search but that would take way too much time and I have stuff to do. My post before concerning the biggest complainers in the Halo 3 thread is really only based on the recollection of my impressions of their posting history. Eazy, you could be right, Juice could be complaining about as much, or more, as kylej or SC, my memory isn't infallible.

Fuck, my previous attempt to upload a film clip to gamevee failed. So I went to go try again, and grab is down. :(

Mooreberg said:
May have been asked, but why is Valhalla in the DLC big team playlist?
Click to expand...
Trying to figure out that myself. I know it's "BTB," which then it would make sense to include maps like Valhalla and Sandtrap, but then there is that little issue of the letters "DLC" being in front of "BTB." Having just Rat's Nest, Avalanche, and Standoff really doesn't make for much of a playlist in terms of variety in maps, so BungLe threw in Valhalla and its friends.

So I guess it makes sense, and Ghal posted before that the DLC maps are weighted more heavily, so it isn't like the playlist is mainly devoted to NON DLC maps.
 
I agree with Mr. Omlet.

On topic now: What are everyone's feelings about the SMG? Better/worse than AR?

Personally I really like it as an alternative to the AR in close range situations. However, because of the random spray of the AR, the SMG feels weaker than it should to me. Thoughts?
 
Maybe eazy and juices should do a 1 on 1 halo session, winner takes all and gets bragging rights. Just a thought, it might settle this great argument they've been having.

I definitely feel cooler using it, it sounds and feels great, but for use I'm kinda meh about it. I find myself sometimes picking one up on tighter maps, especially the Pit for some reason, but I'm usually content with my AR--getting burned with SMGs is way too easy unless fools bum rush you.

Worse. If you pump the AR, it's far more accurate (and deadly), and even if you don't pump it, well, I still think it's better.

And this is precisely why I don't use my mic. I forgot how seriously people take ranked matches. :lol Everything's going fine and we're up: "YES! We totally have this!" And when we lose the lead: "Quick, who on my team can I blame? Fucking n00b!"

I don't want to waste my time arguing with these pathetic people. Do they REALLY think they're the only ones that have ever been on a losing team? I've had THREE 49-50 games TODAY where my team lost after someone on my team was ambushed. I didn't bitch because SHIT HAPPENS.

I love those kinds of games though, I swear every time that happens as soon as everyone's back in the lobby they're all shouting as if they won until someone from the losing team checks the scores and realizes that they actually lost. It then gets real quiet, real fast. :D

true that...i out AR people all the time when I pump the AR like a BR. It's more accurate over a long distance and by the time we get close to each other, I have a lot more ammo and almost always enough to finish the person off, while they're reloading.

Someone did that to my wife last week and she dang near cried about it.

:lol The hell? Since when is discussing and bringing out fresh ideas a bad thing? I suppose I should stick with the "crowd" and campaign my love for the Battle Rifle, because then I'll get the reactions and "Thanks Striker!" comments I truly desire. :rolls eyes:

As for your last line, maybe it's somebody like you who should stop trying to boss others around in a message board and play the game yourself. If you have a problem with me or another poster in this thread, report and/or ignore me.

I also can't understand why somebody would dislike sperm. His posts bring entertainment, and most of the time, the truth.

"Team Snipers, Team Snipers, Team Snipers, Prowler, Prowler, THIS A CHAT ROOM?"

Doesn't look like a 'fresh idea'.

I remember Domino saying something about, "Sperm; all over my face and tits".
 
74,000 posts. I don't know how many more fresh ideas can come up in this thread.

But anyways, I feel that the Heavies archetype has way to many lasers. 2 lasers, one in each base should be fine. Then provide alternate means of handling vehicles when the laser runs out (fairly long respawn): extra stickies, extra power drains and plasma pistols, trip mines. Even extra rockets instead of lasers would be a lot more fun. On sandtrap, it was pretty ridiculous. Jump in a hog -> LASERED. respawn--> LASERED. Respawn and try to grab a laser --> LASERED.
 
What's wrong, ma?

It's the Official Thread. It's rabid.

Whatchu gon' do now, ma?

Only one thing to do...

Something fresh. Not the rehash of constant BR/AR talk or how we should be talking about incorporating BR starts into every playlist.
Click to expand...
Check the last 100 pages of the thread. Although the AR/BR debate is a sort of Halo GAF meme for something we always bring up, us BRers haven't brought up a AR/BR debate nor have we campaigned for BR starts in ages.
 
I think Rockets should be more prominent on vehicle maps, maybe have the one laser in the middle that is on a long respawn timer. At least rockets take some amount of thought to take a vehicle out, the laser is just too easy...especially when there's like 4 of them on a map. :lol
 
I figured out what I'm going to be for Halloween. Just check out the attention to to detail on that armor.

In agreement:
EazyB many pages ago because I realize things before Ram said:
Like I said I'd prefer it if the laser took twice as long to charge up so that the player had to really anticipate the vehicles movement or the vehicle had more time to get cover if they spotted the laser.

I know that can't happen, so realistically I would prefer the missile pod because it has audio cues, takes a while to reach the vehicle (so they can get cover or ditch the vehicle), and doesn't blow it up in one (or even two) shots. I'd like it even more if the map and vehicle loadout was balanced in a way that they could be, with enough skill, taken out with nades, pickups, or rockets.

I rather see more Rockets than Lasers in maps like Valhalla and Sandtrap, too.

The bigger maps that revolve around the vehicles, there should be more missle pods and rockets, and fewer lasers.
