Maelstrom

I found the beam rifle a lot easier to use than the human sniper rifle. The needler is useless with any bit of distance but the hailstorm version (same amount of points) is amazing. Funny that I look through my collection and I see have sniper rifle license though. And 40 saws. Oh, and I have the scorpion license, dear sweet jeebus. I doubt I'll get any of those unless I save up 10k rp.

I take it that one would understand much better if one has watched at least a few episodes of Hunter x Hunter?

Two atoms leave the bar. Then the first says, "I gotta go back. I left my electrons at the bar." The second asks, "Are you sure?" "I'm positive."

Some of these are clearly more funny than others, but there's actually a lot of good ones in here.

I understand. Metagame talk that even if you understand, it's all been rehashed to death. It just kills the chat and isn't fun. Surprisingly few appreciate that...

If you're talking about mechanics, that is one thing. They definitely changed up weapons to balance differently, which I DO like. Even if the saw isn't good enough to be worth the point it requires in warzone. And I need someone to consistently jump in the turret and do well when I pull out a warthog for 2 points towards the beginning. I'm the great white buffalo- a good driver. Story mechanics, story elements, basic story-telling elements period... the game did godawful. There were a lot story points and missions things that became incredibly repetitive and did not expand on the story except to say you strolled through one block of enemies but you weren't out of the neighborhood yet. The weapon balance doesn't apply to enemy ai either. They're mostly like the flood from Halo 1. The just soak up bullets. It just gets really annoying and repetitive to play. Aside from all that. How are you guys doing Req packages? I'm doing the 5k ones as soon as I get the points. For the gold or silver, you get two permanent cards from a pack no matter what. It's just so much faster to get them through silver packs than gold packs. You merely get a chance at something permanent and common/uncommon junk with the bronze pack. Things I ended up being good at; -camping at contested bases with shotguns. Had a 15+ kill spree that way. I got the first shotgun via random weapon card but then got another after just wrecking and using up all the ammo. -killing dudes with grenade mongooses. Mongeese? -sniping. Sit on the spire or one of the hotly contested zones and enemies just come begging to be pegged in the face.

One does not simply leave team Aqua...

I hope the unwashed masses of the main server gives you a better appreciation for reborn. /smogonlevelsnobbishness

But I'm not a mod anymore. Oh wait, you were talking about somebody else. oops, cat's out of the bag =P

I don't even... what is r3 and why are you a pc master race person? Ice was the one who found the most intel during our play-through, meaning I didn't get to listen to most of it. But a lot of what I did hear was dumb stuff from grunts complaining about decision higher ups made. Sadly they had no impact upon the story plotline and it ended up as very poor storytelling all around. Achievement point fodder was achievement point fodder and the story of the game played second fiddle to everything and anything within the game. Even the realization that cortana isn't worth following isn't explored. Master Chief knows cortana is dangerous and says so.... with no prior reason to make such an announcement. Seriously, the storyline is poorly executed, commercials tell more storyline than the game, and there is not a reason to continue. Story-wise, halo 5 is stupid as hell. multiplayer-wise is where most of the action is and 343 got rid of same console multiplayer. Yes, I am salty. I am salty because halo 5 is bad, even if I rock at multiplayer. There is zero reason for me to think halo 6 will be any good because the current halo production team shows zero talent, zero creativity. I'm an FPS fan who basically started playing fps's because of Halo CE.... and I hate the halo 5 story line. Halo 5 is shite.

tfw an article points something out quite effectively. http://taskandpurpose.com/the-cost-of-treating-troops-as-free-labor-providers/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=tp-facebook&utm_campaign=culture

Heh, the wording of the thread could be better and the Reborn community is almost infamous for the number of transgenders and non-binaries it has attracted. 'Sup guys- "I respect your lifestyle." Something I've learned: there is nothing like obtaining age to make years seem short rather than long ordeals. The beginning years are formative: All the experiences are new and exciting and innocent. You remember all of them. As you get older, stories, events, and circumstances start to repeat themselves. You don't keep two copies of the same document or picture on your computer, do you? My second adage of the post: There is nothing like experience to make things appear routine. The wonder, the surprise, the novelty is gone. Everyone has to start somewhere, and with my age and experience I can't help but hate Fairy Tale and One Piece as much as I do while for many others it is their introduction to anime. It really doesn't help when old things that are great don't have graphics and/or techniques that have aged well. These superficialities are often enough on their own to drive away a contemporary audience, even if the story and its message is timeless. Has anyone here seen 12 Angry Men? It's an old black and white flick, but it is one of the most highly rated movies of all time and I did enjoy it What might be new to some might be a terrible rehash, a shabby remake, to others.

Yo, welcome to Reborn. I like your avatar.

It starts off slow, but then gets to mortal kombat levels of brutal.

tfw new avatar depicts me pretty damn well. Don't worry, Juuzou. You'll always be a new guy to me.

I've got a laundry list of things wrong with the campaign. sucks that you don't any new armor or req for doing anything in campaign. campaign was such a letdown. [3:21:03 PM] Maelstrom: Yeah, the options in the level were good. And there were actually a lot of weapons racks everywhere. [3:21:14 PM] Maelstrom: But story was presented poorly [3:21:31 PM] Maelstrom: Locke is pretty bland. [3:21:50 PM] Maelstrom: No great one liners from chief. [3:22:19 PM] Maelstrom: All he ever says is we'll get answers when we get to cortana so stop asking questions. [3:22:42 PM] Maelstrom: Buck barely had anything to say. [3:23:32 PM] Maelstrom: Vast majority of the backstory is in book/comic fiction and not from halo 4 [3:23:55 PM] Maelstrom: Like how did they recover the rest of blue team from the shield world. [3:24:53 PM] Maelstrom: And Cortana is emotional Skynet. Promethian dude supports Cortana for flimsy reasons. The whole reclamation mantle as military oppression contradicts core forerunner canon. Who are the two female spartans on Locke's team again? Like a lot of critical backstory elements, they come out of nowhere/works of fiction few people read. Ai for non-human fireteam members are abysmal. They just stand in one place and die. They won't revive you in time even if they're literally standing right next to you. Everything from the teasers is changed drastically so that everything is so much less and has less story than the short commercials for the game, which is really bad. What did Lasky and Palmer know and when did they know it? Game doesn't tell you shit. The rebalanced weapons feel much better than halo 4. Sensitivity things feel off though. Ground pound thing is pretty useless, especially if you're running the recon control scheme because you can either use it or try to aim it, but not both at once. And you're just floating in midair, asking to get shot down by everybody. There really isn't much of a story. Chief tries to find cortana, locke tries to catch up to the chief, and promethean forerunner is there to slow everyone down. It's all an extended chase scene.
