"Halo 4: I Get a Woman!" - Sgt. Mjr. A.J. Johnson, RIP

Halsey is kicking ass and taking names and I'm loving it.

Oh, also: Chapter 3 (Ep6) was fucking awesome. Why the hell wasn't Spartan Ops this fun for the first 5 episodes?
Hint:. FLYING FUCKING BANSHEES IN A BIG CAVE KNOCKIN' DOWN SOME BITCH ASS PROMETHEANS.

Dude, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. I thought Glasslands and The Thursday War were both very good, entertaining, and my only remote gripe is that there was little from the Arbiter's perspective. I don't see Karen Traviss knocking on Dr. Halsey at all: considering how Parangosky as a character is and what ONI has always been, this is the exact sort of thing you'd see them do to gain faith from both the civilians and high brass by letting out what they all THINK is the worse skeleton in the closet. Obviously, we as the audience know differently, but the fact is simply that Parangosky had to release the origins of what Halsey did back then to boost promotions for the Spartan IV program. At the same time, we know Halsey as a character is still very much intact and is true to what we know her as.

I simply think you're being a bit too cynical about this brah.

And Jul is cool. His hostility is also kind of warranted given the UNSC bound/gagged him, incarcerated him, starved him, fed him genetically engineered food that would be distributed to his people to starve them into near/complete extinction, found out the UNSC was trying to do this, had a bomb strapped to him if, and finally escaped only to find out his wife had been murdered by UNSC interference which has forced the Sangheili to cooperate with UNSC actions. Yeah, I'd kind of be pissed too.

I just wish we would see more from Halfjaw or the Arbiter.

For years Bungie was acting like a floodgate, keeping the extraneous elements of the Halo novels out of the games, to keep from confusing the shit out of people. Then they gave in and made Reach and put Halsey in it. Fan service and fan service. And now 343 has taken that ball, cut a hole in it, popped it in the oven for 10 minutes, are are fucking the shit out of it.

It's just going to get nerdier from here. And I regret 3/4's of the shit I know about the halo universe. I'm just happy I don't know who Jul is, other than a terrrrrrist Sangh.... uh, I mean, Elite.

You say they gave in, but they ripped the established extraneous elements of the Halo novels to shreds when they did that.

When you give in and cave on something, don't you like to squeeze in a defiant, "fuck you" where appropriate?

"You guys want a Fall of Reach game? You want to meet Halsey and the other Spartans? FINE! But the climax of the game is going to take place in an ugly brown shipyard, canon be damned!"

Read Fall of Reach and The Flood, play Halo 1,Read First Strike, play Halo 2 and Halo 3, read Ghosts of Onyx, Glasslands, The Thursday War, and then finally you can start Halo 4. Now you'll actually be able to understand what all their cryptic story bullshit is about (Infinity, Didact, Requiem, and most importantly, Jul 'Mdama).

There's an easier way: watch Tron: Legacy, play the Mass Effect series, play Halo 4. The middle part is optional, but it helps.

Hey Kornman, is there a way to disable sprint for a gametype by modding it or no?

Yeah, up can disable sprint via the variant

Should totally make a H3 slayer variant. No ordinance, no loadouts. Just starter weapons (AR and Pistol), and have to pickup the rest.
