Lrrr: You are defeated. Instead of shooting where I was, you should have shot at where I was going to be.
I'm 21 and employed. I'M THE 1%.
My brother taught me that trick.
Ain't got shit on Retro.

I've been recently reminded that Outstanding is one of the best songs of the 20th century. I want to live in it.

I don't fit this Gaf stereo type. It was fun being a unemployed teenage.

I am personally going to Mexico before launch, to show off Halo. THAT is how dedicated I am to the community
of amazing countries with fantastic cuisine culture and booze
It doesn't always work that way. You see, auto-aim and magnetism can lead to random outcomes with the rocket. When I mean "easier" in that sense, I mean not-random. Sometimes you literally have to FIGHT the aim-assist just to hit the spot that you're aiming for. Why should we do this?
Adapt? Isn't this a Waypoint argument? Why should we adapt to random outcomes and poor gameplay mechanics? No thank you.
As for skill gap, look at it like this:
With auto-aim and magnetism:
- Good player can't make that ledge shot
- Bad player can't make that ledge shot
Without auto-aim and magnetism:
- Good player can make that ledge shot due to precise aim
- Bad player isn't precise enough to make that ledge shot
Also, try to think about the pros for having aim-assist and magnetism. Here, I'll do it for you: it's easier to get direct hits. But guess what? No one goes for direct hits so it makes you MISS shots more often when you're not going for the direct hits. It is no more than a hindrance.
Why go to Mexico when Taco Bell's down the street? I heard MTW hangs out there.

I have an excuse: I am German. So I am fine out of this. Thank you sir.
Best spaces/architecture in the series, combined with some of the best encounters in the series, marred by a forgettable story and bland characters. Most consistent campaign along with CE. Halo 3 had higher highs.

Watch out for the drug cartel and enjoy margaritaville. Tomorrow is 99 cent margaritas at my local Mexican restaurant. Always a good day.

I totally get it.
Get out.
Cryptum > Primordium. Primordium has a good payoff though if you're really into Halo lore and can stand the first three quarters of this very dry book.

TBH, I didn't think that many of the encounters were really that memorable(in a good way). Sure we had space, but it wasn't anything really interesting. Other than that, it mostly plays out to Firefight encounters or attacking an AA gun.
I guess New Alexandria was neat...
Edit: I love how you can tell who is new here. Getting all defensive about Booties. smh

I'm 22, employed for 3 ½ years going on 4 and a college student. I have a curiosity with Sci-fi Universes and whatnot. Nice meeting you too.
Lies, my job has absolutely nothing to do with my degree outside of the fact I get to use photoshop to resize images.

Made me cry the other day and laugh again tonight LOL
mmmhmmmmmmmmmm
That's how Halo has always been. It's a sandbox shooter; it gives you a point to get to and gives you toys to play with and smart enemies to mutilate. Reach does this very well. Five games of the same thing does start to wear thin.
343 is here to save the day with Metroid. Excited.
ODST was great.
Well, I finally got passthrough working:
Still a black screen in Media Express, though :/ SO CLOSE
You're entire country has been on welfare since world war I. Nice try.
Kyle I don't keep that much anymore.
Well what'd I do now?

I had the same problem. I honestly don't remember how I fixed it lol
Once I get the degree, the tough part is finding out what the hell to do with it. And earning money in the process.
Taco Bell is rumored to be renovating all of its franchises to modern, deco-style Barn themes (supposedly).
Have you ever had a Doritos taco?
Taco Bell and GAF currently.

Jorge is hispanic?
inb4hisname
-EDIT- Oh, you're saying because you think he's dead lol - I have hope he's alive!
Yeh, you're right. That's how I remembered it..
I agree with Halo 3 having higher highs for sure. But I definitely think I appreciate the characters in Reach more than most.
The thing about Reach's campaign is, you are the hero. The very simple idea of displaying your armor/gender throughout the campaign absolutely seals the deal for me. This is not only a story about Reach, but a story about you being an integral part of it. It's the fuckin little things. They get me every time.
Jorge is not hispanic, that was my point.
Hmm and you tried every view setting in Media Express? Mines this:
Yeah mine is the exact same, except I don't have any more than one option in the second panel anyway:
Not even bothering to censor my name since it's so common that like 3 other HaloGAFers have it
Pixel getting a lion-cut if new news is presented.
I always thought Jorge was more Eastern European-y despite the spelling of his name. I remember watching on of the Bungie Reach panels (at PAX, maybe?) and one of the audience questions was how he was disappointed that Jorge wasn't Hispanic, and that the lack of Hispanic culture in Halo concerns him (or something like that).
How my nuts taste?!
Our team consists of 2 guys who don't flip out over every little thing.
until we play it
OH I remember that video. Greatest evidence of Halo's long process of getting dumbed down for everyone to play and feel good about themselves. Oh how I wish Halo 1 would have been made for xbox live.
