Did Vamp have natural regeneration abilities alongside his nanomachines, or was it always just nanomachines? MGS4 made it seem like the latter, but Naomi's wording implied the nanomachines were responsible for all of it and he was just a really tough human guy.

I reckon it was all the nanomachines. The less that Vamp's powers are real, the happier we are. In Kojima's eyes, at least.

I'm planning to get to yours, but just to be fair I'm doing other people's first.

Yes, of course. That's only fair.

Take your time, no rush at all.

When are people going to learn

when you leave the forum, never make a thread. Just go quietly.

Hopefully this helps expedite the process.

I know you already made me one, and I love it, but I have a really good idea that might be challenging for you (probably not, but we'll see.)

So, I want something like this

Spoiler

but less, y'know, shitty.

Here's the original photo:

Spoiler

I took the two characters, cut Snake's head and levelled it with Ocelot's. I then took some of the debris on the top right hand side of the photo, and used it as a background.

I then took this photo

and used the "A Rival Living a Lie" part as lettering between my rank/name and the two characters.

If you could do something like that what I had but better (more professional-looking), that would be great.

This is going to be my avatar when the time comes

So, if you can somehow make something with the colour scheme of that and a few pics of Solid Snake's evolution (that I can provide), I would be really happy.

Something kind of like this?

I could have done it sooner but Imgur was being dumb.

Yeah imgur was acting stupid yesterday.

That's cool, but if you want, look at Nuka's new thread. I have an idea there that I would love to see come to fruition if you want to try your hand at it...

HOLY FUCK I JUST GOT SPLIT CHAMBER

YES

ONE STEP CLOSER TO SOMA PRIME, OSS

ONE STEP CLOSER

okay screw it, I guess we're talking about it

[I'm done after this comment.]

I was talking about competition.

You read (and enjoyed) the books, right?

yes

Yeah, I was fucking FURIOUS with the last season.

Like, it's god awful. There isn't a single redeeming factor.

1. I had completely forgotten about the TKDR debate, please stop thinking I am upset over it, I never was.

Then was it the "God is Not Great" thread I made that pissed you off?

I find your cheerleading for Verb to be cringey, to be completely honest. That's it.

But I don't "cheerlead" for him.

I just don't think you understand what it's like to be a vegan. Or an antinatalist, for that matter.

I combat people who object to my philosophy on a daily basis. So when Verb or Pendulate come around (who've been doing it far longer than I have) and so eloquently dissect arguments... it's a nice thing to see.

If I'm being honest, I think Pendulate is better at arguing than Verbatim. But Pendulate isn't an antinatalist. Verb is.

Of course I'm going to support the people I know who share my viewpoints. Especially when those people are so few and far between.

Uh, my argument was that newer better designed gameplay that fixes the blatant issues with the previous is better

Quote

1. That's basically "newer=better" (every sequel tries to correct its predecessor's faults)
2. You have yet to quantify that anything after CE is "better designed" for it's purpose. Fixing the physics of Halo CE doesn't make the game better if it fucks with the pre-established sandbox that worked perfectly fine for what it was.

I'm not saying it's less reliable - I was applying your logic to cars.

Gee, thanks.

There's a reason I put "reliable" in quotations.

And again, how? Besides it having minimal magnetism, which is one thing

That's all you need. The less hand holding, the better.

Don't diminish the value of magnetism. It's a core function all three base mechanics (grenade, gun and melee).

CE isn't balanced, though, at all.

Unbalanced=/=No balance

Skill isn't relevant here.

It's literally the thesis of my entire argument. Good Halo game= multiplayer - magnetism = skill gap = CE

The BR can actually be combated.

Same with the pistol. . .

The CE pistol is literally a pocket sniper that can be used in basically any encounter.

It literally serves the same function as a BR.

Halo 4 wasn't balanced because of AAs and ordnance until they were basically removed from the game.

Oh my god... I'm talking about weapon balance. Was that really hard to derive from the context?

You get killed by a moving vehicle hitting you regardless of how fast it's going. It has always been like this in CE. Nothing to do with the server, because physics aren't server side...

If it's so minor that I've never noticed it, what use is it in your argument? I'm not saying I'm infallible or anything but I've played my fair share of CE, and that never struck me as a problem. I mean, how many times are you NOT going full speed in vehicles?

Also, I would like to point out that physics and other functions are sometimes tied to servers.

Requiring more skill doesn't mean something is better, especially if everything else about the game if full of gaping flaws.

It does by my definition for Halo, which is what you seem to have a problem with.

And CE isn't even that difficult either, honestly. Use the pistol because it's OP and you're fine.

Wow...
That's a really stupid comment to make. You can literally say that about any game, ever.

How does one having a pistol, whilst everyone else has a pistol, equate to having an advantage?
Like, the standard of skill goes up if everyone starts equally... kind of a "big deal" in the Halo crowd.

You can do better than that.

Your argument was literally "CE is the best just because it is"

Refer to the last time I responded to this.

Now this will be my last reply ITT, but if you want to make a thread or something I'll continue there.

Competitive =/= better honestly in most cases.

I agree.

But I mean, this may just be me, but there's no point to Halo's multiplayer if it isn't competitive. It's boring without the competition.

And yes, if you're calling a game "good" or "bad", then all of the content on the disk should be brought into question, not just the aspects you're willing to focus on. So it is relevant entirely.

Except we're not talking about the game, we;re talking about the multiplayer. So why would we discuss forge and custom games?

I think it's probably the worst Halo and Halo 2/3 do a much better job at the arena gameplay.

That doesn't matter when CE still takes more skill to play successfully.

Halo 1's MP was annoying to me because of the lack of weight to anything. Guns felt like you were shooting water at people, vehicles were cancer to drive, movement was meh, and melee was atrocious. I think Halo 2 fixed a lot of that, and Halo 3 fine tuned it all.

I agree.

Still a more competitive game that it's sequels.

And had Custom Games/Forge, which expanded that game soooo much. Something only Reach was able to match (Halo 4 forge sucked).

Not really relevant, but whatever...

Guys this isn't a Halo thread.

gameplay quality doesn't matter
- Prehistoric

Never said that. You're argument was that newer gameplay=better, which isn't true. Halo CE is far more fun from a purely competitive standpoint than Halo 5, or any other Halo for that matter.

so an old falling apart and unreliable beater isn't any worse than a new modern and very reliable car, then?

Dumb comparison. CE hasn't changed at all, and is certainly no less "reliable" than current Halo games.

no normal person wants something that's worse in near enough every way

Except CE is better in almost every way.

about as subjective as shit tasting better than chocolate

Still subjective.

It can't do something just as well but also not do it better

It can. Because they're balanced in different ways.

As for physics, Halo 2's physics work just as well as CE's in their respective sandboxes. Not that hard to understand.

the pistol is stupidly op and destroys the weapon sandbox because it outdoes near every weapon

You mean, just like the BR? Only it takes more skill to use the pistol in CE.

Let's face it, the only sandbox in Halo that was even close to balanced was Halo 4.

the physics are wonky as fuck and results in being killed from just touching a vehicle.

Lmao wat

That's never happened to me, ever. Maybe on MCC's shitty servers.

he says whilst his argument is literally "ce is the best halo because it just is"

My argument is that CE is the best Halo because it takes the most skill to play.

again, how? the sequels do everything better

Did you even watch the video I posted? Did you not see the bullet magnetism in the sequels?

Why are you being so obtuse?

so shit outdated gameplay with awful balancing and retarded physics

You have a bad habit of doing this shit. Instead of coming up with intelligent responses, you hit me with "lmao I love poo - Prehistoric".

Now stop derailing my thread.

Gojira was actually smart as fuck, though.
