I don't know. Sort of ironic considering I profess my love of the human race, but don't have anything special to say about it.

Gaming / Re: What if Halo 2 had actually been like this?« on: November 19, 2014, 07:00:50 PM »
Yeah... Bungie did a really bad job at portraying the Battles of Sol in general.
The H2A cutscenes do a great job at fixing this though. For the most part, the worst devastation didn't happen in Kenya. Because, well, it's a lot of Savannah and a few interspersed installations as we saw in Halo 3. If they wanted to show us absolute devastation, they would have had a mission or two in Australia. The Covenant literally leveled every human structure there because it's where the HQ of the UNSC is located. 1115

Game Design and Development
Gamers take games way too seriously. They don't even understand how much effort it really takes to make a simple game play and look good. Not just that, but they're too impatient with updates. A game's coding can function in such a way that what the fans think would be simple (even the devs too), can involve restructuring the entire system you're updating. 1118

Also, yeah, the Grunt Rebellion Terminal wins IMO. I choke up every time they start glassing their homeworld. 343i keeps making the Lekgolo more and more alien, which I like. Anyone see the latest episode of Nightfall? Their intro scene where they are replicating the horses is freaky as hell. 1124

Not just that, but he is AWOL, not refusing R&R. So, something happened. And Arbiter obviously is right when he says that he has his reasons. 1126

He saved Earth at the end of Halo 4, and on multiple occasions before that, so why would the UNSC send a Spartan to hunt him down? Did he go rogue after losing Cortana or some shit?

Gaming / Re: New Halo 5 Beta Gametype« on: November 16, 2014, 08:42:48 PM »The majority of suggestions you listed are well known. However, I thought the context of our conversation was regarding Halo's core mechanics, which you did list a few of.Well, as 343i made a terribly shitty update to their forums and now I need to refind all the threads I had saved on there, this will take longer to get sources, if you want them, but I'll give the general ideas.If I am ignorant, then enlighten me. Don't point and laugh for me not having the same access to specific knowledge as you.Lmao, no. Are you really that ignorant on what people(not talking about what retards that don't understand shit) have asked for and suggested?We'd be getting a goddamn Halo 2 or 3 clone if 343i only followed the suggestions of the community.Specifically, it looks like they're adding in shit nobody except morons asked for.I'm sorry I didn't know what I was thinking, having my own opinion.Hate it Those suggestions though still do not work to an extent. The problem with equipment and AAs still existing then becomes, how do you adequately represent them so the opposing player knows what you have in your "pocket" without modifying the player's shape or hitbox? In the end, it may become an absolute clusterfuck of a sandbox because you have two distinct abilities, one reusable, the other dispensable. Both behaving in very different manners and you can not determine if the player has one or the other, or neither at all. This is why I find Spartan Abilities a very attractive idea. It gives you the versatility and change of combat that AAs (and equipment to a lesser extent) tried to provide, but in a balanced manner. No signifying change needs to be given to the player anymore because despite there being seven different abilities, you know that all the other players have them. There's a video that Ghandi made in regards to Halo 5... I can and do agree with everything he says in the video. Above all, we need to play the shit out of the Beta because it's a year out from launch. Now, I'm not saying or even implying to not hold a negative opinion of Halo 5's gameplay, but these extremely negative fire-laced reactions and opinions are completely absurd in my point of view. YouTube In the end, it's a lose-lose scenario for whatever any developer does with a new Halo's multiplayer. 1133
Gaming / Re: Halo 2 Anniversary is a blast.« on: November 16, 2014, 08:13:23 PM »The context of a physical sport is a lot different than a video game. Especially since the video game industry has thousands of different games released every year, whereas athletic sports have remained static for quite a long time.But you do blindly adhere to what is tried and true, stagnating progress.It irrates me 343 can make H2A multiplayer perfect then want to make Halo 5 how it is.AKA You want 343i to make a Halo 2 clone. As for chess, chess has remain unchanged for so long because it is hundreds of years old, and there is no official authority that can dictate or modify the game. Interestingly enough, if we look at Chess' popularity, yes it is well known and widely recognized, but it is not something that you see everyone playing, on TV, or in widely recognized events anymore. A comparable analog in the video game industry would be Pong. It is highly recognized among gamers and has remain unchanged, yet few people even play it, let alone own a copy. In a sense, the clamber mechanic does remove trick jumps. But that's assuming that the maps are being built in classic Halo fashion. They are not. So now, the trick jumps become how to get closest to a far away ledge in order to clamber up. 1134

Halo 2 Anniversary MP is literally a Halo 2 clone minus the glitches. This goddamn community is ridiculous.
