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

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.

There's no shame here bru.

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!"

Btw, if anyone wants to actually understand the story before playing Halo 4, then do this:

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?

[Kornman00]

Yeah, up can disable sprint via the variant

[ThePlague]

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

[Kornman00]

Would require maps with weapons on them too :P

It'd be interesting to see it in regge-rok. Though, the player traits would have to be tweak a tad, as H3 has a 0.05 faster movement rate than Reach/4

[ThePlague]

Yeah, but I think it'd be an interesting thing to play.
