On reach, if anyone wants to join me.
Also some of you people are forgetting one of the best Batman movies...the mask of phantasm!

Isn't someone blinded by the nostalgia when they say Halo 3 is an awful game?

This may be true, but just at the base where I work, they've replaced 2 different 2-way stops with roundabouts. WTF. This is not faster for 90% of the people using these intersections. Not to mention you have to slow to like 10-15mph from 30/35 to go through them, even though there's literally nobody going in the perpendicular directions. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Properly designed on larger traffic areas, roundabouts are good though.

Took me a sec to unravel what I think is an accidental use of a double negative, but I think I get what you're saying. Sometimes comic history can be very convoluted, or dense or it simply does not work in cinema depending on the style a director is going for.
For example, people would have probably scoffed if Nolan used the Lazarus Pits in his movies to revive Ra's al Ghul. That supernatural element simply does not fit in his more realistic take on the Batman mythos.
Factually incorrect. All 3 Spider-Man films were huge box office successes. Spider-Man 3 is just a very bad movie and the fault doesn't lie with it not sticking closely to the comics.
And like Hypertrooper said, see Ultimate Spider-Man.
Andrew Garfield is an actor, not a director. The reboot was a success because it's a genuinely great movie. Sticking closely to the source material is the frosting on an already delicious and moist cake.
That's basically what it all boils down to. The comics serve as reference materials, a source of ideas for directors and screenwriters to pull from, unless they are straight up adapting a story like the Lord of the Rings films. Even then, certain segments of the books are might be cut (they were), or certain elements might be changed to accommodate a different format or a modified story (this also happened). Christopher Nolan isn't adapting any specific Batman story, but instead pulling ideas from a ton of sources including Year One, The Long Halloween, No Man's Land, Knightfall and The Dark Knight Returns.
I never said that the Batman films shouldn't try to stay close to the source material, all I was trying to say is that the two continuities are completely separate entities. Nolan's films exist in a vacuum, they're not some sort of parallel Earth to the comics.
Well said.
That would be because films are usually one and done. An ongoing comic book series needs to keep reusing a stable of villians.

Yes. Many flaws were made in the films when comparing to the Ultimate Spiderman Comics. Villains were killed in the films but in the Ultimate Spider-Man sent them to prison.

Worst roads in north America goes to Montreal. Potholes galore and just poorly maintained roads

Ahh Thank you for clarifying all this.
Edit: Ahh. Gotcha
Canada is part of North America, the American continent is divided into Central America, north America and South America.
Either That or he was referring to the highways in the USA that lead to Montreal.

Why is Infection in Anniversary FFA? There's an entire playlist dedicated to Infection. Why is it appearing elsewhere?
I could understand if it were changed, like BTB Snipers (8v8 instead of 4v4).
Infection isn't even a free-for-all gametype. It's a team of humans against a team of zombies.

Wait seriously? Gross.
343 PLEASE BRING BACK WEEKLY PLAYLISTS! I never want to see living dead or griffball have their own separate playlists, they should have stayed weekly like in Halo 3.
Again a weekly playlist rotation of Infection, Griffball and Forge Epidemic mini-games would be amazing and not distract from the main playlists.
Anniversary achievements and/or people who only have the anniversary disc and not reach.

Roundabouts don't work in America because American drivers do not understand the concept of this road sign:
I laughed pretty hard at this.
Just got back from TDKR. Excellent film, TDK is definitively better though for those that like to compare.

Idea for handling living dead and some of the other padding playlists:
Action Sack contains unconventional (but still competitive) gametypes. BOOM! Ball (maybe BLAM! Ball in Halo 4 with Sticky Detonators), Speedflag, stuff like that. Maybe rename it to Competitive Recreation to coincide with the whole War Games renaming scheme thing. Game/map selection layout could be something like this:
Option 1: Traditional competitive games fixed from default settings. Things like Hot Potato or BOOM! Ball.
Option 2: Games relying on modified Megalo-style games. Halo Chess, Speedflag, HaloBall, or Team Hotshot are all valid examples.
Option 3: Trending community gametypes with large fanbases; more often than not this would just be a Grifball slot.
Add a second playlist called Minigames (or if a more Infinity-styled name is required, something like Casual Recreation or Halftime, etc.). Weightings could change frequently, but it would be something like this:
Option 1: Race map (this includes Rocket Race, Rally, and all variations)
Option 2: Traditional minigames (think things like Cat N' Mouse, etc.)
Option 3: Infection. Things like Fat Kid or Zombie Ghosts included.
If it seems like too many playlists not dedicated to hardcore face-murdering, Minigames could be reduced to a weekend playlist with modified weightings each time and then Action Sack could be on weekdays.

wut what did I miss?
Same here. I think TDK was significantly better. The scale of TDKR felt too big to me, and Bane's character was over hyped in my opinion.

6 bullets, dude. Tested it myself back when Halo 3 was around.
I think you just admitted to modding double damage onto your console.

which was bungie's first attempt at the balance between the short range weapons and the mid-range weapons.
I think I'd take that over their next attempt, which was bloom.
I do not understand how you were posting without power. Internet anywhere wireless stick thingy I assume?

Forge started off on the right foot. They fixed up the weapon layout on guardian and construct. Wondering why it did not continue

After Cairo Station, Halo 2's legendary becomes always easy. Just some gameplay decision are still questionable. (You can call them Jackal Sniper).
Achievements dude.
