It's a good thing you're lying or this would be quite the issue!
Halo games give you invincibility upon spawning to prevent this.

I really don't like the cartoonyness of the second one. I don't mean the graphics, but the overall atmosphere... It makes the game feel silly, as opposed to the first one which was serious and violent.
I still enjoy playing it.. but I really prefer the first one.

I like the cartoon aspect. It seems to recognize that it is a game, and only a game, unlike a certian title that kept preaching that it was the next comming of Jesus.

It may have been a slight exaggeration.

Indeed. You'd be amazed how easy it is to defeat people when they don't know that a melee is faster than a lunge.

Does it still do full damage? I never knew that either.

JK-47 · Post by **JK-47** » Fri Nov 23, 2007 11:56 am

I believe so.. I find it quite convenient how people don't know how to sword fight on Halo 3.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Fri Nov 23, 2007 12:01 pm

Was it the same in halo 2? If so, i'm mad at myself.

I don't recall it being like that, no.

I hate it when I invite someone to go do something, and I ask when they can leave, and they just go "I dunno.", and then I tell them something like "Well, we're going to be leaving in a little bit.." and they just tell me something around the lines of "Oh..".
Then I continue to ask them and they just keep telling me, they don't know, but they don't take it upon themselves to ask until last minute. It's so annoying, and so inconvenient.

Sword fighitng in h2 sucked. I find it quite awesome in halo3. When you both use the same tactic at the same time, trying to get the advantage. Then finally they lunge, you dodge and you stab them in the back...Oh its a rant thread >_>

Hl2 demo was the biggest waste of my time. I don't know why I did it (boredom?) coz you can only play the game for liek 2 minutes. And you kill 2 headcrabs and thats it...WOOOT

At least the water reflects...Even though all the other platforms have it, its just the best thing about the demo

You've never played HL2? Or just downloaded the demo for the hell of it.

Yeah, the demo is fairly worthless. It does have much of Ravenholm though (which is one of the best levels in the game).

Ive finished hl2, not any of the episodes...Thedemo was of ep2... I thought it could be good...But it was baad. Honestly, its for the people that know halflife and want to see what the story may be like for the 2nd episode. I say it does nothing for potential customers who know little

Ravenholm in the HL2 Beta was the best ever. I dunno why Valve scraps so many great ideas.

JK-47 · Post by **JK-47** » Fri Nov 23, 2007 11:22 pm

Wasn't it the same..? I haven't noticed a difference :o

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 1:01 am

Pretty sure it was the same. It just ended when you finally met the Monk.

Well I now have court on Dec. 9th for the smoke bomb act. I'm just so pissed, cause I thought it was all done with but off course, the police had to get involved and blah blah blah, so now I have to get an lawyer and all this shit.

It happened... I ran into my first batch of stupid kids on CoD4..

They kept yelling my freakin name and saying I'm a poopy diaper with poop all over my face.

I've got nothing against little kids in games, but I hate the irritating ones...

Thats the great part. The only penalty for leaving a match is you don't get a match bonus. I myself haven't run across anyone that is annoying yet.

hypocrisy
