Kal Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 The term "bandits" usually refers to enemy aircraft. Go watch Independence Day again (specifically, the dogfight over Area 51). Prez: Bandits! Wingman: I see them. *asplodes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon45 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 So then that might not be their real name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvolutionSFox Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 I thought they were saying "Boogies" in Independence Day. >>; I've watched it but a million times, so many times I can reinact Smith's encounter with the alien(Love the part where he's dragging it xD). Though I'm not going to argue, I'm not real good with names so I'll stick with you guys on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaz3 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 So do you think that if Halo is the basis of xbox, and the trailer said "Finish the fight" do you think that this is the end of halo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon45 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I do not think it has too be. Microsoft is making a lot of money from the Halo games. They would not stop it unless there was a really good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The fine fellows at Bungie have stated that Halo is a trilogy. There's not much left to finish the plot. Part 1: We discover the Covenant. They proceed to kick our collective arse. It becomes top priority that they never find Earth. Part 2: The all-powerful Prophet of Regret finds Earth. Well, crap. Part 3: Earth gets pwnd.

Kal Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Clearly you didn't see what looks like a Forerunner doomsday device hidden under the Earth's surface...that gets activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvolutionSFox Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 I thought that was one of those covenant gravity lift thingies, a huge one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The developers clearly stated that it was a Forerunner device that the Covenant has been searching for. I highly doubt that they'd raze Earth to the ground to get a spiffy new elevator. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zicka Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Personaly I think Halo is the most overrated franchise in existence. It's a sub-par first person shooter at best. IMHO Meh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 That it is, aye. Looks like they're going out with a bang, though. ...Gonna be hard to imagine a Microsoft console without Halo. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon45 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Halo is one of the better shooters on consoles. However, if you have a PC there are many better games such as Counterstrike and Unreal Tournament 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuyasha Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Bungie has stated that Halo 3 is the end of the Halo trilogy. I wouldn't expect them to go against it. Personally, it looks like their intent with Halo was to reinvent Marathon or something. The interfaces are VERY similar, and both are a trilogy. I dunno what they want to achieve with that, but I think it's too much of a coincidence. As for the Halo 3 trailer, that huge thing's supposed to be Forerunner. Bungie hasn't officially stated what just yet, but I think it's what activates all the Halos. Think about it. At the end of Halo 2, 343 Guilty Spark said that the Ark was where the "installations" could be remotely activated. The Monitors are also convinced that the Master Chief is a Reclaimer, indicating a similarity between humans and Forerunners, perhaps? Now comes the smaller bit some people miss: during the Earth missions of Halo 2, Cortana at one point states that the Covenant weren't expecting humanity on Earth. Meaning, then, that they came for some other reason. My theory is that the Earth IS the Ark, built or inhabited by the Forerunner at some point. That thing the Covenant found buried on Earth could very well be another type of becaon that activates all the Halos. It makes sense, plus'd line up with the rest of the trailer. "This is the way the world ends." Because...Elliot, I think, was wrong. -Inuyasha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvolutionSFox Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Haha! I got my 2nd Kill Frenzy online! Spawn camping is cruel, but it sure is fun to do! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvolutionSFox Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 What's worse is that it was Swat, too. xD I spawn camped in a game of Assault on Lockout, we were defending and I just sat up in the BR tower and picked them off right when they set foot on ground again. Funny thing is... we still lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Believe me when I say that there is no greater joy than killing a spawncamper. 'Tis the greatest teabag in the world. I've only gotten one Running Riot, and it was on n00bfest (all rockets, 'nuff said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaz3 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 That it is, aye. Looks like they're going out with a bang, though. ...Gonna be hard to imagine a Microsoft console without Halo. Yeah. Its likely that somehow, they'll start it up again, some new evil threatens the world once again or something. I somehow, don't think they'll simpy ditch halo.

EvolutionSFox Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Lol! Teabagin' is plain dirty... *wags finger* ... but I'm all furtive style and no one kills me(except when they use a magnum, omg it's embarassing, that's when they start teabagin' me xD) I'm like the only dude who can't be killed by a BR but I get eaten alive by magnums... magnum Swat? OMG, I could use two magnums and get sniped by a guy with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvolutionSFox Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Ahh Inyu, it's one of the funest things about Halo 2. Swat is all Battle Rifle and Magnums only and no shields. One shot to the head kills you instantly and couple of shoots anywhere else takes like 3 or 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Problem is that I phail with both, even moreso with headshots. >_< ...Actually, the only things I'm good at are n00bfests and (surprisingly) Snipers Only, the other game I came really close to getting a Running Riot.

Inuyasha Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Oooh. Swat sounds fun. The only Live variant I've played that I REALLY like's Tower of Power. Bundles of fun! I also have a friend with an MLG Slayer variant. Lots of fun at Lockout. Then there're the randomish games, like Cat and Mouse. It's weird, but it can be a lot of fun with enough people. Let's see you evade a Wraith, on foot, for over five minutes. After, of course, said Wraith has exploded your Warthog. It's hilarious. Only one Running Riot? I've gotten a few of those, anbd I think the next one up once or twice...forgot the name. What's funny is at...25, I think, where it says "Unfreaking believable." Just to hear the announcer say that's kinda funny. My highest consecutive thingy's...Triple kill, I think? I've never been in a game with enough people to get much higher. One thing I absolutely -suck- at is Team Slayer at Lockout. >< I have no idea why, but I just can't do it. I get pwned by people I usually pwn when we play that. My best mode (other than Swords...most people're good at that) is probably...CTF, really. I'm very useful, be it to storm the base or as a distraction. Not too good at defending, but I'm usually useful in offense. At least Legendary's not useless! -Inuyasha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvolutionSFox Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 @ Inyu You should see my little "KLA" clan I've got going, right now I got like 5-6 members in it... we dominate too, we've yet to have a losing streak and all we've had is nonestop winning streaks. I'm a lv 25 but I'm way better, just that finding a legit game is impossible to gain ranks. Other members in the clan are less than 10 and I have a lv 23 too. Together we took on level 30's and higher because of my other friend is a level 31 who took part in our group({lvs}me 25, friend 31, friend 23, friend 2)... but in this peak you get cheated/modded/standbyed every game, almost. We went a streak of 3 games being modded, it was unbelieveable(though kind of fun). Then our fourth game, no cheating/modding/standbying and we dominated. Together I think our team is able to defeat maybe even a lv 40 team... if they're legit... Our none ranked games are unbelieveable also... one time we faced all lv 30's in Swat and we won. I couldn't believe it. KLA > Any other clan 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
