I actually liked Primordium a bit more than Cryptum and had no problems with the earlier parts of the book. Everything you learn early on in the book is very important for later events so if you take your time with it, not rush it, and savour all the fantastic new details that get revealed, you'll love the book. I've made notes for both books which are thousands of words long of notable dialogue/events and Primordium's is much bigger. That just shows how much more packed Primordium was with interesting dialogue and details for me really.
Both books just have such totally different styles, I love it! I hope Greg Bear is interested in writing a bit more Halo fiction after the trilogy is done.. he is a brilliant author.

I should clarify a bit, that I am enjoying Primordium more than Cryptum at the same point in their stories. The narrative in Primordium is much more clear, and with the universe established it's paining in many details in a way that feels more natural than in Cryptum. The pacing has been odd, and I really wish it was a direct launching from Cryptum. That book ended with events of enormous possibility and some confusion, and I wish they were built more directly upon. I may revise that view as the story continues - I assume it will return to those events. I'm just growing a bit weary of the wandering phase of the story so far.

Watched for about an hour, good stuff
Invasion is my most hated gametype.
Games take six hours to complete.
Plasma Rifle starts 50% of the time.
9/10 games never capture the core.
Most default Invasion maps are HORRIBLE (however, some Forge ones can be fun).
Good idea on paper, not so much when implemented.

343i would have sold millions of copies of the Halo 4 Limited Edition if the Chied had hold a Battle Rifle instead of a Assault Rifle. (A Limited Edition exclusive cover)
Maybe he is like Gabotron and likes shitty BTB gametypes and maps?
The fuck?

Where the fuck was I? Goddammit. Next time somebody campaign for me, make it as digusting as possible.
Does invasion count as BTB? If it does, then you are correct.
*goes to the 9 other forums he reads and just changes the Custom User Title field whenever he wants*
*is also able to edit thread title without needing a mod to do it*
Stats wise? Invasion is it's own category. I'd consider it BTB-style myself though.
But that's no fun.
Those aren't special, a tag is a gift, a curse, a title bestowed upon you from those above you.
So what you're saying is it's the World Heavyweight Championship of the internet.

I hate Invasion. So yeah. Invasion counts. It's shitty.
A tag must be given and not be gifted through a tag thread.
Yes and those with tags should start and end threads. It should be everyone's goal to get a tag(note: not tag fish.) But by letting their alpha(wolfpack) shine through.
Do not devalue this for me!
You'll be heartily sick of the wandering by the end.
It's like The Hobbit if nothing ever happened to disrupt the walking through the trees until the last ten pages, and all the characters were unlikable dolts.
I heard Plywood is supposed to be a big deal, real quick

You had always the tag "100 Perfections in person" in my mind. But now it is gone. Without a trace. Forever.
Are you the tag police?

when you can find more people playing social slayer in Halo 3 you know there's an issue.
I can sit through Hemo CTF and some games in Abridged, but whoever accepted Trident, Wayont (not the ILBTB variants, either), Renegade (Banshee, Laser), and Heavies needs brain scanned. Fuckin' awful.
But then I think of Halo 4 BTB: lasers, high possibility of a PP/DMR/plasma nade start, among others. I'm still skeptical on the Banshee having a bomb blast, which was never needed in the front place. How will the gametypes be, because we know CTF is in, but what about Assault and Plots. For all we know it'll be heavy Slayer oriented, and that says boring to me.
Tempest variant with Banshees and shit-tons of power weapons. Add that to the horrific list of things they felt like adding. Think Standoff Heavies: mid size map cramped in with 16 players, lots of power weapons, and a Banshee.
