There are some boring long levels (The Library will put you to sleep), and yeah, vehicle control in Halo 1 is cancer.Also, the cave thing is about as infamous as Halo 3's "To war..." quote.

I'd like to make a progress bar in the OP.I ask because if there happen to be any spoilers in the titles, I don't really care to know them, let alone look them up myself.Thank you.

Like, I didn't mind gun wise, but the melee was shit, as well as the vehicle driving. Nothing felt like it had weight or power to it.
Taking all bets gentlemen. Taking all bets.Verb gave half life a 7 I believe. Out of what I don't know.Callin' it.The end score is gonna be a solid 3 to 3.5 from Verb.

The bets are on partner. Call the stakes here.
How can you not like the best game ever made.
Melee an Elite or Jackal's dead body and bathe in a pool of blood until the game goes to 2 FPS

I notice a trend in sci-fi these days. Humanity always seems to land as "muh chosen ones" in some form or another. Portrayed as inherently "good" or "okay," or, "worthy."Mass Effect was another series guilty of falling into that gay ass cliche of a trap as well.I was actually thinking this it's always the good ole' humanity that saves the day with kindness and honesty, tbh i would see humanity as the greedy powerful typesLike I said. "Muh chosen ones" complex.In Halo, in all instances in the lore, humanity had apparently done nothing wrong and was seemingly portrayed as the small kid on the block while everybody else was the big bad bullies to them.And in Mass Effect, especially in 3 where shit became big time Earth centric, Humanity got themselves flagged as genetically superior by the Reapers and became the prime conversion target.I don't think I've ever played a game or read a book where Humanity didn't have some sort of pivotal central role because of some special innate and invisible quality.And it's kinda gay, the more I spot it frankly.

Quote from: BaconShelf on August 19, 2015, 06:23:25 PMOkay, here's a very brief run down of modern-26th centry lore. It has been mentioned, like, twice, so don't think much of it.Basically, expansion continues a would be expected. We begin colonising other planets in our solar system, so far so good. Anyway, eventually, pure ideological differences between groups called Koslovics and Friedans emerge as both terror organisations begin their own war. Basically space nazis and space communists. This culminates in the UN organising into the UNSC, and setting up the UNSC Marine Corps. Their first deployment is on Mars, which sets the stage for things to come.After the UNSC's total victory, things progress relatively quietly. In the 2300's, FTL (Wormhole) travel is discovered and within the next two hundred years, we colonise over 800 star systems. In te late 2490's, the outer colonies, often used by the inner colonies as a cheap source of materials and food, begin to rebel at this unfair treatment. This rebellion is the insurrection, and soon threatens to spread through the empire right to earth- which is why the Spartans were created. In 2525, the planet Harvest makes first contact with aliens, things go sour and a three-decade long war ensues.And absolutely none of this is brought up in the games. Furthermore, the only time any of the expanded universe has been introduced to the games has been since 343 took over with Halo 4. Bungie basically didn't care, so you'll never find any of the really interesting stuff mentioned in their games.You are the first person to ever explain that lore so freaking clearly to me without making it convoluted.Thank you.

Plus, I hate the fucking AI that's supposed to be helping me out. He doesn't shoot at what he needs to shoot at, and I end up just taking matters into my own hands. Not fun.

He doesn't shoot at what he needs to shoot at, and I end up just taking matters into my own hands. Not fun.I can't think of one Bungie game I've played, where the friendly AI aren't absolutely useless pieces of shit, especially with vehicles. Just wait until the level where a few Marines drive Ghosts, you'll die a billion times. When they operate the Warthog's Chaingun in any Halo, be prepared for them to shoot to the side of their target almost the whole time, and if it's a vehicle, when they eventually do kill the driver, they'll send a few hundred more shots down range and blow it up, just to make sure you can't grab it and solo the rest of the level.Then again, even in 343 Halo, the Spartan IV's and Marines need a good amount of babysitting to survive a small group of grunts with the dreaded Plasma Pistol.
I remember bungie hyping up marine driving AI before Reach coming out, claiming that you'd be able to sit on a gun and let the marines drive.Apparently, at least one spartan didn't get the memo...I don't understand why they can't copy over the Covenant AI code for driving and change the faction allegiance. Can't be that hard, right?
