"Those constructs appear to be memetic in nature."

It's been three years and I still have no idea what the actual fuck this means.

I'd prefer a far cry style headhunter game.

At least then guns blazing is an option alongside stealth.

What if Halo 5 sucks ass?

The copyright for up to Halo 9 is bought.

I love Halo, but I don't know how I feel about that

As long as they keep the quality of story we've been getting so far, I'm happy.

What if Halo 5 sucks ass?

The copyright for up to Halo 9 is bought. And Halo 5 has already got an insane amount of pre orders. The implication that it's going to do terrible is laughable.

They've already got the story planned for another 20 years, this doesn't surprise me at all.

i've been procrastinating like a motherfucker lol

also i have college

but yeah, don't worry, i'll post it

Fair enough


This can be Locke'd now.

Good. Once we finally drop the last gen, devs can make their games without having those limits in mind.

I mean. It's rampant in Battlefield 4. Originally, the riot shield was going to equip on and protect the player's back when not in use, and allow the player to use a sidearm when in use. Two features dropped because the 360 and ps3 can't handle it.

mw2 did that

MW2 didn't have 64 players on a server with dozens of explosions and other high-strain processes running at any one time.

He was talking about the Riot Shield blocking bullets while it was on people's backs because in MW2 it did that

I know. But MW2 didn't have anything on the scale of BF4 - apparently the 7th gen simply can't handle to have that feature alongside everything else that's going on. I can kind of believe that, based off of personal experience.

I'm less opposed to it than animal experimentation.

So. Were these colonies like the size of how our colony on mars is going to be in a couple decades, or full on terraformed and habitable with trade routes and shit?

Because if it's the latter, I don't see why they couldn't just move the population.

how many recent game alphas were not broken to hell?

I do wish they'd stop releasing alpha builds of games for full price...

Seriously. They have huge-ass spaceships and shit, why didn't they have a network of planetary colonies or space-borne habitats to house a good amount of the species even before they got roflstomp'd?

Why did they waste their super cool spaceship on prisoners instead of just letting them die?


Serious question

If the parents want them to live, they should pay for any associated madical care (Speaking as someone who lives in Britain.)

Does someone want to summarize Hunt the Truth for me since I'm too lazy to listen.

The episode or the series?

Series

In late 2557, the journalist Benjamin Giraud (who previously appeared in the Halo Graphic Novel) is hired by ONI to do a story on the Master Chief. At first, things go as expected an he begins building a good story. However, when he eventually manages to interview Ellie, one of John's childhood friends (the girl from the starry night trailer), she tells him a lot o information that conflicts everything he's been told. He digs deeper, soon finding several documents that support Ellie's claim. He goes back to one of his previous sources and pressures him to admitting he lied about John, with the source eventually cracking. Shortly after, he gets called to ONI's Earth facility in Boston (The one from ILoveBees), fearing the worst. He calls one of his friends, Petra (Halo Escalation an First Strike Adjuncts) and hands her his documents so she can continue the story if he is taken. When he gets to the base, he meets his handler, Michael Sullivan (The guy who escaped Circinius with Lasky in Foreard Unto Dawn) . He is instead given something different; an interview with Franklin Mendez (Who trained the Spartan II and III trainees) but is never given any details about spartan.

When he returns home, he is seated on the same shuttle as someone who he interviewed before, and proceeds to ask some more questions. Eventually, Ben is put under when he refuses to sit down on the flight, and wakes up in a spaceport with a hefty fine, and the recording his datapad made while he was out - the interviewee is a lot more sinister, and mentions he was hired by ONI when he doesn't realise he is still being recorded.

Ben is then contacted by an insurrectionist, codenamed FERO. She proceeds to advise Ben on what to do after he eventually directly defies ONI and gives him funding. His next step - UEG and ONI are meeting now that his story is making waves throughout the colonies. He hacks the video feed, and tells them everything he knows about spartan-II. When he is cut off, he goes into hiding, with FERO killing two agents in his apartment. In hiding, he becomes extremely paranoid until Petra contacts him again with something for him; on a glassed planet (I can't recall which), there is something for him. It turns out to be an underground ONI base that survived the glassing, and he is able to pull dozens of documents from the server; SPARTAN augmentation and selection details, the recorded rehearsal sessions from his ONI-approved sources. He secures a seat on a massive Talk show, and proceeds to expose everything about SPARTAN. This turns against him; his documents are registered to be faked and he is accused of being a liar to gain attention, before being dragged off stage.

The crucial thing is that throughout the series, the situation in the colonies only gets worse. Entire planets are disappearing under mysterious circumstances, the story of Ben has begun massive scale rioting and breakdown o law and order and potentially the beginning of a new insurrection. A human-Sangheili peace talk on Biko is interrupted by John, with him executing all of the human guards and later leaving the human ambassador dead and the Sangheili extracted and ONI is shutting down all communication between the outer colonies. It calms down at the end, but the situation is still tense.

whats with those cases on the far left?

Dunno, I think he made his own cases for XB1. I just chose that picture because I liked it, though I wish there were a more up to date one on google.

My own collection has many, many more books. Because that picture is a couple years old.
