"See?"


There's actually a player trait value for overriding the player's scale. You know, in the game variant data itself, not something you can specify in the game type options. Sorry, there are idiots on these forums and I apparently have to be explicit in what I mean.

Hi there.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Fuck all these posts about johnson are making me tear up. They need to make an installment to the game where we see johnsons side of the story. From harvest/reach/installation 04. I'd also like to see what he went through with the spartan I project. Fuck Halo 5, I want to see this game NOW.

Something cool I noticed in War Games. Depending on whether you team is winning or losing, music plays after the announcer calls out "5 kills remain."

Also, is it just me or are teammates fucking incompotent? Seriously. I'm sitting here with half my team's score and Jonny-Numbnuts here in second place has 4. We get dragged down because I've gotta protect these toddlers and bash the faces of some blues at the same time in just so we can keep up. It's worse with variable custom loadouts and ordinance drops giving the enemy an unreasonable edge. Seriously, what the fuck were they thinking?

I dont see why ODSTs would ever become obsolete. They're pretty much the same as a airborne infantry. They have a useful and well established role that SIVs can do, but only as something more expensive. If marines and spartans are considered separate departments of the UNSC, then ODSTs are still around.

If you ever read into the subtext of Halo 4, you'll find that Halsey's definition of a Spartan is far different than what the Spartan IVs are. While the continuity of the war at Reach has been broken, the raising and development of Spartan IIs are pretty much still there. 343i is trying to do whatever they can to show that Master Chief is not a faceless soldier, but a guy named John. The problem is that Bungie always did this indirectly and 343i is trying to shoe it in through brute force. In campaign, they tried the theme of Spartans=military-hardware/power and in ops they're trying social personality. In the next game or two, through some salvation of MC, they'll wind up with the 'revelation' that slapping on a set of armor doesn't make a soldier and it surely doesn't make a Spartan. To paraphrase from FoR, "you don't volunteer to be a Spartan."

What I mean is that Spartan IVs are a specialty program, just like ODSTs. ODSTs were the best of the best short of being a Spartan, and now the Spartan IV program has usurped that title. The nature of the job ODSTs were intended to carry out is better suited to Spartan IVs than ODSTs; the armour would reduce mortality rate during drops and could even make an individual drop operation a less costly affair since the pods could be made simpler for the same reason. Spartan IVs are better at sustaining themselves for extended periods behind enemy lines.

As for Spartan IVs vs. Spartan IIs, as far as I'm concerned Spartan IIIs barely deserved the title. The Spartan Program ended with II.

Seriously, I want to see a Spartan II break a IV in half.

None of Noble team acted like the assess in H4 and they were still all volunteers, not indoctrinated from childhood. Of course, those characters were (actually) developed by Bungie

Oh and voiced by real actors . Jen Taylor outshines these twerps because of that

[Kornman00]

Yay! Even HBO thinks Palmer is a stupid cunt

[ejburke]

I don't have a problem with Palmer except that she's a Spartan that just squawks and does nothing like some kind of anti-Chief. Do you need to be a Spartan to do that job? Seems like a waste of good armor and bull semen.

[Kornman00]

Jokes on her, her syringe was full of bull shit. Hence her character.
