I've never been a part of b.net nor have I really played many Halo games, but that's still really fucked up! No wonder my fiancé refuses to buy the new games. He has all of the older games, a master chief helmet, one of the movies, and a few of the Halo books. Damn they just failed at their finest.
They don't make Halo anymore, and this isn't anything to do with the new halo games. This is to do with Destiny. 343i now makes Halo and they have a massively different approach to the series, which isn't welcome for some.

I'm willing to bet they reuse Marty's destiny music throughout the whole franchise
They fired him over money
which he got anyway Unrelated news, but Marty founded a new studio a couple weeks ago. Was it posted here?

This is one of the small things I'd like to change, although a lot of the stuff that needs changing is in the nav bar (especially on mobile).
To be honest, we need a dedicated mobile site rather than a cut-down version of the pc site. The mobile version really doesn't run well, and crashes a lot on my ipod.

If there's a species advanced enough to exterminate us chances are they already know of our existence.
And they would probably kill us if we advance too far in technology.
If they were sufficiently advanced to be able to have interstellar travel as a common thing, such as a Kardashev Type-II or Type-III civilisation, they probably wouldn't even acknowledge our existence.

For another viewpoint; think about the fact that humans will not even leave the solar system in our lifetimes. We may see someone land on Mars or Europa or Titam, but that's a one off in of itself.

Why can't we just find a planet capable of sustaining life, find a way to get there, and start living there?
Because if we find aliens like the Elites we are f*cked.
We have found several potential candidates, we know how to get there. But it would take at least 4,000 yeas to reach the nearest one at the maximum estimate for achieveable human speed with 21st century technology(approx. 300km/s, with gravitational slingshots). Tau Ceti is still 6 light-years away, and that 300km/s is not even .001 of a percent of c.
Wow, is there any way slipspace/hyperdrive tech could be made? Is there any studies into it?
If so that would be great.
No. At least not within our lifetimes, or our children's lifetimes. The technology is completely beyond us. To make a wormhole between two points, you'd still need to go to where the wormhole will be first and activate it, so it would still take thousands of years. So, no hyperspace jump or slipspace travel, sadly.

I have had two pop-ups (Both for asda, funnily enough) in the last five minutes.
I don't know if they're meant to be enabled, but I seem to remember hearing they weren't.
So yeah.

There are very few potentially lifebearing planets within a 60ly radius, and we can't really prevent sending signals into space unless we somehow cease all radio communication across the planet.
Also, remember that the photons spread over a wider area and become dimmer, so the radio signals that may be encountered even on tau ceti c would be the radio equivalent of looking at a far-away star.
Besides, I'm pretty sure any species out there with a space military and empire would have very few reasons to go to war outside of sport. Water, hydrocarbons and minerals are hardly an uncommon resource in the universe. If there is a civilisation within a few hundred light years, then habitable planets are common enough that Earth's habitability is not war-worthy (Assuming they have a 1G gravity, 100KPa pressure and Earth-Normal atmosphere). So you'd have to ask what is so special about Earth in this circumstance to merit going to war- and even so, interstellar travel takes thousands of years. We'd see an invasion fleet coming decades in advance, and it's unlikely an artifical ship would have anywhere near the population that Earth does, meaning they wouldn't have the resources or troops to commit to full-scale invasion across the entire planet. Especially one as militaristic as our own.
but a space empire is unfeasible anyway, there'd just be remote colony worlds that operate almost entirely on their own with occasional transports and courier service; if an uprising happened on planet X, then planet Y would not even find out for at least half a decade, giving the rebels on planet X an abundant amount of time to dig in and prepare for the grand imperial fleet of Y to come and sort things out. Which is why, really, space warfare wouldn't work or exist like we see in sci-fi and why you wouldn't get big empires beyond a rough alliance of individual planets that agree to trade and open borders.
So, long story short, we don't really need to worry. All of that doesn't take into account the fact that a species evolving to our level or beyond within a distance reachable within a hundred light years is nigh-on impossible. We would know it by now if there was. Or the guv'ment would, anyway.

For Halo CEA there should have been an extra campaign mode that adds things from the other games into it. That would justify it more and to me it would make it fit better in the lore due to latter editions. In Halo Reach we have Brutes but in Halo CE we don't see them even though Reach takes place before it. The same fleet that we encountered in Halo CE was the same one from Reach which would have Brutes.
Thee were multiple fleets at Reach. Thel's wasn't the only one.

99% of an atom is the space between the subatomic particles.
Therefore, 99% of everything is nothing.
Isn't the space between the atoms quantum fluctuations?
No. It's the space between the quarks that make up stuff like protons and neutrons, the space between protons and neutrons and the space between the nucleus and electrons. I mean, if you scaled an atom up to the size of a solar system (the nucleus being the star), the furthest electron would be several times the radius of said system away from the nucleus (Like, many tiems the distance of Pluto to Sol)

Halo 5 can't hold 60fps even when the resolution is 1152x810
No wonder split screen got cut
That's a demo build.
The Halo 5 beta was from mid-2014, so I hardly expect E3 to be the newest up-to-date build of the game.
The demo was finished just weeks before e3 and has even worse performance than the beta, and the game is going gold in a few months.
It's also heavily scripted and probably quite diferent from the actual game. Remember Long Night of solace from Reach at E3 or Infinity at Halo 4 E3? They all had a lot of scripted stuff added to show off the new features in the game. So, yeah. I wouldn't take anything as indicative of quality until the release.

Also, if you let it up on the furniture now, be prepared to let it do that forever. Once it is used to it, you won't be able to stop it doing it. If you'd rather it not get up on the furniture, don't let it up or it will think that's allowed and okay.

Reward them rather than shout at them. Like, make them want to do something because they know they'll get rewarded and it's good, rather than doing it out of fear of being hit or shouted at. If you do excessively shout or hit animals, that's when they become dangerous and mor likely to attack you or others, regardless of breed.
I mean, obviusloy tell them and make it clear when they've done bad, but for fucks sake never hit them or kick them or some shit. I'm not implying you do, but it's something I absolutely despise and, as far as I'm concerned, should be given the same punishments as if you did the same thing to a person.

It's actually relativity; they'r closer to the ground so they are moving faster relative to us. Therefore, they experience time differently.

99% of an atom is the space between the subatomic particles.
Therefore, 99% of everything is nothing.
To others, it's pure energy.
This theory in particular has potential.

Thank you everyone.
Honestly, I only got the game because we haven't had a good pirate game since Sid Meier's Pirates.
Damn that was a good game.

...an I have no idea what is happening. I was a pirate and now I'm in some offie building or something.
Can someone explain what all this is about?

I loved the campaign anyway, the graphical overhaul really makes it a not to play.
But te multiplayer is probably te worst multiplayer in the series, it's only better than classic halo 2 because of the pwetty graphics and sounds.

A dozen characters that are well-established in the expanded universe but completely nonexistent in the games so far will be introduced, while the main character of the series will be relegated to a mysterious secondary role, as you venture through a series of settings and plot points that are again thoroughly explored in the novels in a highly-scripted cinematic single player campaign that introduces squad tactics despite historically incompetent friendly AI in a fast-paced FPS.
You say this like it's a bad thing. Nope, it's a 50/50 split campaign like Halo 2. lol

All this Confederate flag controversy is so stupid. It takes you this long to suddenly be offended?
Okay then.
The Confederate flag nonsense has been an issue since the Civil War. It only now has been boiling over because of current events combined with the fact that it isn't 1863 anymore.
No, it definitely hasn't been a thing here. Kids flew the stars and bars on their pickup trucks going to school senior year.
Maybe in Comradefornia it's an issue, but y'all can just keep your whole being offended at everything shtick to y'allselves.
the fact that you guys aren't bothered by flying a flag that represents racism, violence, and hatred speaks more about the south than anything else. there's a reason you guys are terrible at everything. maybe there's something in the water down there.
okay faggot, listen up
There's more to that flag than racism.
The flag means different things to different fucking people and just because YOUR unfuckingcultured orthodox californian brain processes it one way does not mean every other brain does.
The flag represents, depending entirely on the person observing it:
Southern culture, history, and heritage.
State's rights, decentralization of power, and opposition to the Federal government
And yes, slavery and white supremacy.
I don't expect someone from California to understand anything about Southern culture, but I do expect you to acknowledge the position of ignorance you are actually in, instead of rambling like a holier-than-thou cunt.
I'm not going to argue that racial interpretations of the flag are wrong, because they aren't. Any combination of the three meanings is a legitimate interpretation. I believe it's something to display sensetively, because some people interpret the flag solely negatively, and it's totally reasonable. I can't stand guys who have a problem with people taking offense to it, because it's okay to see the flag and think "slavery". Plenty of people, yes, including many African Americans, see it and just think "I'm proud of my background", and if you're going to throw the uncle tom card at that I'm going to respond by telling you to kill yourself and getting myself banned again.
I can't stand people with their heads up their ass about how evil it is, especially ones as far up as yours. If you think the Dixie flag is too evil, you should write off American flags too, because trust me, that flag represents some pretty FUCKED UP shit to Native Americans. But I guess it's okay to salute that flag because at least it won.
I'm fucking sick of dumbfuck outsiders writing off Southerners as dumb racist hicks just because they can be proud of parts of their heritage. Sick of this elitist, classist bullshit. If California's such a liberal fucking paradise, enjoy it and stop telling outsiders how to live their fucking lives.
Every flag has some blood on it.
If the American flag should be banned, why is this still around?
