Or a hill. A slight incline. Anything that goes up really.

The Scorpion handles as shittily as it has done for years

Aha. Halo 3 scorpion was best. That thing could fucking climb I tell you what. I remember camping on a rock wall on Vallhalla at the back of the base, being able to see across the entire map because I was parked so high, almost at a 90% vertical angle.

The only thing that never made sense to me was that Sidious was, for all intents and purposes, defeated by Mace Windu. He was just about to kill him, then Anakin went full retard and ruined everything about literally anything. So why couldn't Yoda have done anything better? Mace wasn't more skilled than Yoda.

Mace was definitely a better duelist than Yoda. IMO, Yoda never should have used a lightsaber, since we've seen time and time again in the EU that there's a lot more to the Jedi than flips and lightsabers and throwing shit with the force.

I feel like that honestly doesn't make any sense.

Yoda is 900 years old. He should definitely be a better duelist than Windu.

The Jedi all vary. You're thinking of it like skills. The guy at the top has five star everything. That's not how it works with Jedi, or even the Sith.

Windu had an aggressive, and very rare combat form. He created it and was essentially, the master of it. Windu, also had the ability to sense shatter points, something no other Jedi had.

All the Jedi on the council were powerful in their own ways. Take a look at Obi-Wan and Qui-gon. These two figured out how to preserve themselves in the force, long before Yoda did. So there's a lot of variables as to why a Jedi is considered a master.

Oh yeah, I love how the scorpion is literally a rolling piece of shit now. So slow that you can outwalk it. And poor map design leaving bottlenecks so that the damn thing gets cluster fucked or highjacked. At this point it's basically a giant sniper rifle on treads.

Hilarious actually.

Something might be wrong with your controller actually. Scorpions outrun a Spartan sprinting at full speed in Halo 5.

This is on flat terrain. Scorpions are piss poor climbers now. If there's a pebble in the road it's gonna slow down. I've tested it with friends. They barely outrun a Spartan. So any incline whatsoever, and the vehicle is fucked.

I'm actually just curious as to why I'd be on the list at all. I don't even have a level of fighting expertise man. I'm physically strong. But I've avoided 90% of all the fights in my life so far by using my head and talking. Not throwing somebody around to the next province.

And I ain't gonna fool myself into thinking that just cause I'm strong that I'd be a good fighter. I could probably put up a fight. But I've got no experience otherwise.

Your persona online makes you seem like you have survival experience, living in secluded areas and such. That's all we can base it on.

If he's put in a warm climate, he'll probably die from heatstroke in minutes.

I went through the whole summer okay. We had a drought even. Bone dry rivers. I don't like the heat but I'm not one to sit down even if it wants to knock me out a bit.

I'm kinda half and half on it. In most cases, people overdo it a bit. Or they pick some ugly ass fucking tattoo that doesn't match. But there's a few I'm occasionally keen on.

Full body ones, when done right, look pretty damn stunning. And I think it deserves a little bit of recognition. Both in part for the person who decided to basically make an irreversible change to their body, and for picking such a design. And of course, the tattoo artist(s) themselves who had the skill to make it all work.

I guess it more comes down to the people. Some people just naturally look better under certain circumstances when applying styles. Kinda like how one person might look better with short hair over long hair. Or with a certain type of beard.

Played a little more of Halo 5. One thing I can say I appreciate is their art direction for the campaign. Like damn they put their A game into it. It's such a shame though. The more I went along in the campaign, the more I was just sort of left with a feeling of really wanting it to be good.

It seems like for every good thing there was, there was some dopey decision made to counteract it.

To me, part of the game feels tacked on. You could cut away all the missions related to Cortana, and you'd instead be left with a game based around how the galaxy is changing, with the political ball game on Sanghelios, Humanity making efforts to re-expand on old worlds, and so on.

And it would've felt like more was accomplished. But instead we've got a whitewash over basically everything Halo 4 pulled. Didact returns and claims the Forerunners are returning, sounding more like an omen than a good thing. Cortana dies at the end of the game.

And Halo 5 just drops it. Cortana magically ends up on Genesis because the Mantle's approach went into slipspace, or somehow managed to, conveniantly after it was gutted by a nuclear explosion. The Forerunner activity isn't the result of the Forerunners, just Cortana.

And the shittiest part about it all, is that now we're stuck with that jarring ass writing and story direction.

Halo 5 to me is basically just an almost good game. So close. So, far.

Ah fuck me I remember those fucking things.

I'd at least make things entertaining before going down. Anybody below 200 pounds I could pick up and use as a weapon.

The dead people throughout the fight area would make decent sources. Although they'd have to be a little lighter maybe, since dead weight is notoriously heavy and awkward.

> using tru as a maul

genius. thanks for giving me the advantage. im coming for that canadian ass

I don't explicitely gotta use people. I'm just saying. I'd at least make things entertaining. I could always just pick up and use whatever else there was too.

Fuck that inverted controls waterslime faggot.

But inverted is the more intuitive setup ;-;

also >tfw almost 2016 and still no button mapping for Console games, when it has been on PC/Mac/other since at least 1994

TFW can't map everything to a single button so I can do everything at once.

Black Funday is pecisely why I swooped in and picked myself up a new TV. I got in before all the spoopy shit went down.

You know things are bad when fucking Midget talks common sense.

Played a couple missions on Sangheilios.

So pretty. Wanna see all the other various homeworlds.

Wanna co-op some time?

Maybe. My team of try hards wants me to roll about and go dunk peeps in multiplayer.

Your dad sounds like an ass, tell him you're a the result of his parenting.  If that doesn't shut him up you cuck his wife

i couldn't think of anything more pathetic.

"I'm a loser and it's your fault, not mine."

If you're a loser, it's your own fault, and no amount of blaming everything other than yourself will change a thing.

No, but you do know it does something for Roman right?

There's a FUCK ton of mental related links and issues that kids have with their parents. The fact that Roman's dad, bitching at him, rather than acting like a decent fucking human being and what a family member should be, is, and likely has left him with an inferiority complex and low self esteem.

It's not so much about blaming his dad, as it is standing up to him.

If you can learn to stand up to your father, no matter how shitty he is, and say "NO, fuck you, you're the one that's fucked, and I'm going to do better than you, and be better than you what you made me," then it breaks a strangle hold and a mental block.

It's like getting rid of an anvil strapped to your back.
