I'm a great believer in MAD, an it being why we haven't had a major war since WWII.

The Canon version of that level is one where you help Buck out. Buck and Jun talk about it in New Blood ^ ^
What happens if I push Buck off the platform and he falls to his death? Does Halo 3 ODST still happen or nah
The Guardians kill everyone because buck wasn't there to stop tem with the raw power of being Nathan Fillion.

And that's Half-Life 2.
I'll see if I can get a review written up some time this weekend, to flesh out all my thoughts.
Then I suppose I can move on to Episodes One & Two.
You're going to love E2. It's literally drive the car for 2 hours and then do a cool little battle.

Reach had the most boring intro level out of any Halo and that marine on the radio sets the tone for the rest of the game when he says "The Covenant is on Reach. I repeat, The Covenant is on Reach." You could get better emotion and acting out of a bag of potatoes than that guy.
The next levels are all pretty much the same thing until you get to Tip of the Spear. You're leading a huge UNSC force and it gets attacked by tons of Banshees and other Covenant vehicles. The cutscene makes the level look like its going to be a giant battle which we were promised by Bungie but nope, that huge battle is off in the distance as part of the background with like 3 Scarabs, hundreds of Falcons/Banshees fighting, and tons of Scorpions and Wraiths engaging one another. We're off on our own taking down AA guns instead. The hell is this? I want to be out THERE in that huge epic battle instead of blowing up AA guns. When I first played through this level, I just looked out towards that battle and got angry because we're not the ones out there making a difference.
The only highlight of Reach's campaign is the space battle on Long Night of Solace because something like that has never been done in Halo. The Sabre handled well and we had a breathtaking skybox to look at while fighting in space. That skybox was so beautifully crafted and remains one of my favorite in any Halo game. Unfortunately while the space battle was cool and felt very Battlefront-ish, it was rather short and the opportunity to have this in custom games was lost right here when it was just campaign-only.
Another cool thing was the New Alexandria mission as it has you do different objectives each time you play. In one playthrough you'll have to rescue Buck but in another playthrough he won't be there and it will have you rescue a squad of marines from Hunters on a rooftop or something like that. The level still had the same main objectives like going through Club Errera and the hospital though, and the pilotable Pelican and Phantom Easter Egg on this mission was pretty awesome as well.
The Canon version of that level is one where you help Buck out. Buck and Jun talk about it in New Blood ^ ^

Literally everything before the mission The Package is irrelevant. It just feels like random military operations done with no particular order to them, just "Hey, let's just do what is cool now!". More to the point, why would a CSO class carrier, that little one that's 27 kilometres long! be the advanced fleet? Why would it be launching an invasion for a month! without the entire fucking military swarming it? Why was the Long Night of Solace virtually undefended, why was there not a single ODP in the sky, or a single repair/ refit station and the 150-ish-strong fleet defending the planet? How is something as large as a Supercarrier able to be camouflaged at all? The raw heat that thing would generate, the raw radar signature and the massive amount of space it takes should have alerted the UNSC immediately. also, where did this mysterious teleportation technology for the covenant come from? Why have we not seen it beforehand? HOW CAN A VESSEL NOT RATED FOR ATMOSPHERIC FLIGHT HOVER IN AN ATMOSPHERE?
I want to point out now that the only reason Reach makes any sense in the lore is because 343 fixed it with DataDrops and the new Tabletop Game, Fleet Battles.

I look forward to Season 2.
Regarding Reach's "story". The new tabletop game has actually made the random-ass invasion fleet that's there a month early make sense now! With this and the datadrops, I dare say that Reach actually makes some sense now!

Eh, nothing that interests me here. If I didn't have Redux, I'd download both the metro games, but I have them both. And I have zero interest in the other two.

Obliteration?
Basically Assault. Deliver the neutral bomb to three objectives.

Rush or Conquest. Ideally on DLC maps but I guess not everyone has premium. If everyone has it, I'd love to play Carrier Assault

Quit, just like HaloFollower.
Who the fu-
Oh, I'm sorry. I meant to say Chris.
WAIT WAIT HOLY SHIT HOLD THE FUCKING PHONES!
Are you talking about THE CHRIS!?
Is he talking about the Chris that was a talking meme in our party when we tried to get the Lore? THE Chris? Chris the spectacular?
The guy who started halofollower is calle chris

Finding the lore was a perilous journey, fraught with danger, betrayal and deceit. In the end, it did not pay off, for BaconShelf destroyed the bus with me inside it. burning the lore to pieces. I barely got out alive, and the three of us had a final standoff. BaconShelf arrived in a jet, which was stolen by Desty. I, my life now meaningless due to the lore being destroyed, shot myself in the head to end it all. What happens next is a mystery.
I blew up the jet with a grenade launcher then went off myself.

what is it about this one
A lot of those other conflicts are based on the same foundation: civilisation vs. fundamentalist Islam. It's no use ignoring Israel and Hamas if you can't ignore Kurdistan, Iraq, Syria, Boko Haram, the various terrorist attacks in Western countries et cetera.
And I think, both morally and for your own intellectual sake, one can't ignore any of those conflicts totally. Or, at least, you must affirm your position on the right side of the divide. Those who do not stand with us stand against us by default, there is no neutrality in this war.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Pretty much all platformers. I just can't get into them, I dunno. Being limited to four directions is just boring.
If it weren't for the story and the choices that carry to the next games, Mass Effect 1. I can't stand the gameplay.
Oblivion/ Morrowind. Maybe it's my own fault for playing Skyrim first, but these games feel so dated to play now. And thy doesn't include the character models. (Though I do think weapon degradation and increased armour customisation being removed and pre mechanics in line with crafting and magic is very bad)
Halo 2 and Destiny are tied for absolute worst piece of dogshit multiplayer I have ever played. No exceptions. Okay, Halo 3 was pretty bad as well.
Sports games. I don't feel I need to explain.
Team Fortress 2. I don't understand the hype surrounding it, and that may be a significant part of why I don't like it.

No. The lore was destroyed when I destroyed Rampancy's escape bus with a grenade launcher and set you on fire with a flare.

One volcano lowered the average global temperature by 2-3 degrees C. Only a couple hundred nukes would be enough to throw enough shit into the atmosphere to kill most plant life and thus the food chain.
I'm presuming the nuclear weapons used are smaller nukes but more numerous, based off some impact craters we see and actual weapons we see in bases. Not just that, but the majority of the populace survived the bombing in-lore. The most death occurred from the 'rain' in which the ash from the atmosphere, combined with radioactive dust and water that created a black, acidic rain that rained on the planet for weeks an killed most life on Earth. The nukes themselves comparatively did very little.

Halo 4
best
stop
It had better multiplayer than Reach.
And a better story.

Why anyone is buying Halo 5 for the multiplayer is beyond me. Everyone I know is getting it for the story.
buying halo for the story? after h4? wat
Halo 4 has a far better story than what Halo 3 and Reach have. With Halo 4 you actually know what you're doing in the levels from the start and the story until it gets a new objective. The first half of Halo 3 is so random that you can remove it from the game and nothing will change story wise. For Reach the majority of the game is random up to the point you get Cortana. After Halo 2 Bungie didn't even try anymore when it comes to the campaign. It's sad when a small team working on a side game which is ODST ends up having a better campaign than what the whole team did for Halo 3 and Reach.
Binge got a new writer, and Staten got pushed to the sidelines after Halo 2. He got creativ control on ODST which is why it was really good, but got largely ignored on 3, Reach and Destiny. Which is why Destiny's grimoire is singlehandedly te most interesting aspect of the game Looking forward to Shadow of Intent later this year.

Halo 5's story looks great. The buildup we've been getting in the past couple years in the EU is really doing a good job of setting the scene, so to speak.
Halo 5's story is looking to be the best one yet, undoubtedly. Might even beat ODST and Halo 4 for best one.

I'm more concerned about how you use an 'O' instead of a 0 in a numerical value.
Unless you're talking about chemistry and are actually referring to two half-oxygen molecules. In which case, carry on.

That's still $10 cheaper than if you were to buy them both for the 360 off the marketplace.
The marketplace is the most over-priced place ever. Sometimes the discounts are really good (like GTA 4 for 5€ wasn't bad at all or Deus Ex for 5€), but other than that - everything is over-priced.
I'm not saying that it isn't over priced. This game will probably join the group of backwards compatible games so if you want to find an old copy that's cheaper then great! But some people would rather buy it digital and this will give them a $10 discount on it, as well as make it available to them directly on the Xbox One.
360 games will be on marketplace when added.

They're not even doing battlefield: Star Wars skin edition. There's less content here than BF4. The Battlefront name is pretty much only there because they knew that attaching it to an established series would give it attention.
And the sad thing is people will buy into this and just show DICE/EA that it's okay to take established series and take a giant dump on them.
