Why is the female soldier ALWAYS the hacker?
Because it's as close to the kitchen they can get on the battlefield :realsmug:Quote:

Or the pyro.

I'm so sick of brutes.
shit, I'd rather have brutes over buggers
fucking buggers
fuck :gonk:
I mean the character type is cool and all...but holy shit they rape you in swarms :ugh:
Elites WERE confirmed in that post I quoted.
I wouldnt mind a combination of elites and brutes. Its what I was expecting in ODST.

I liked how they were done in Halo 2. They could fly around and all, but they had more health, came in smaller groups, and weren't nearly as frustratingly jittery. They were more interesting that way.Quote:

I used to practice no-scoping drones on Outskirts
Ah, fun shit
Hm...I would always play Outskirts with triple M6Cs, so it was a real shooting gallery for me. One of the challenges is trying to hit that camo elite with a flying canister...that is hilarious.
I don't think triple M6Cs would work well on Legendary, hehe
No, but Legendary in Halo 2 was never fun either. :realsmug:
Halo 2 Legendary was bullshit.

"Unlike the MA5B, this rifle had a longer barrel and stock, with a cutdown muzzle shroud.
A scope was mounted on an optics railing along the top of the rifle."

In all seriousness, I've never had any interaction with MLG in my life.

Maybe they're Borderlandsing their weapons :realsmug:
One could only hope.Quote:

Heh. That would be pretty cool, scraping together experimental parts to make a rifle.
Though from the shots, it looks more like they are Rainbow Six-ing the guns...

Yeah, that would be mind boggling. Either way, I'm quite sure this ugly looking gun is nothing we've heard about before.Quote:

Resources would have been pushed to other areas and weapons depots would have been tapped with blueprints of already approved weapons. In order for a weapon to not only finish the prototype phase and get pushed out, materials need to be allocated for the production and also assembly lines need to be built in order for those resources to be put to use.
During a taxing war like this, you wouldn't have all the time in the world to send the shipments (of which could easily be attacked by the more advance Covie forces) of supplies and personel to create such assembly lines in each part of the galaxy where their is a major UNSC outfit.
Just because it's the future doesn't mean everything is all George Jetson
I doubt the writers had the ideas of wartime economy in their heads when writing this ;)Quote:

Many modern technology used these days were made during war time.
Advances speed up in areas that need them. For a service rifle, you aren't going to ditch your entire setup for a new gun when your current one works just fine for killing your enemy. Case in point, the Lee-Enfield; the Brits intended to replace it with a new rifle just before the First World War, but because they entered the war (:downs:), they couldn't do that. They needed to equip their men right then and there.Quote:

You underestimate the Bungie writers ;)Quote:

Also, the military sometimes doesn't have the right mind where it puts its money. Example? In the middle of two fucking over buget wars, the Army (not sure about other branches) changed its Class A uniform (the formal uniform, used for funerals and shit). That shit is in no way cheap to produce or buy. What was wrong with the old one? Nothing that required it to be changed right now.
Good thing you have only months left...
Yeah, I'm tired of working for a corporation who wastes money left and right.
