Poll: My arguement with an Army guy. Over ODST.

Good for you. Cut the stupid ass down. If the game's not that good, then, well, it's not that good. If he's not even being sensible, then way to show him up.
It assholes like those who give the decent Halo fans (like me) a bad name, thanks for taking him down a notch. The rest of my kind salute your efforts in helping to clean up Halo. Maybe one day we'll have a Halo without guys like that... oh wait, that's Halo Wars, well maybe when ODST and Halo 3 get put on PC. Maybe one day...
jeeze ... that guy was an ass. You're right but then again, he didn't seem to have an argument anyway; just a troll
I am in no means qualified to state this but i assume that the military teaches some type of rule in bootcamp or something in order to make people like this guy not brag about being in the army, and i also assume that the army has some pretty dumb individuals ( a good percentage, not all of them o_o) which sadly led to this probablyMrsnugglesworth said:

Tell me you are not serious. less than 10% of the army are "trained killers".TsunamiWombat said:
Personally, I love the story in Halo. Having played all the games (save for ODST) and read all the books so far, I know the story inside out and enjoy it immensely. I recognise that it isn't that well writtne, of course, but then again, I like a wide variety of stuff, from Twilight and Dan Brown books (purely as guilty pleasures or holiday reading) to classics like Dickens and the Bronte sisters (which are much better by far). But the Halo story is one that I love.
Nevertheless, you were right OP. You stated an opinion and he disagreed, fine. I disagree with your opinion as well but I'd be happy to engage in a friendly debate/discussion about it arguing pros and cons of the Halo storyline. I would never start yelling and going all fanboy on your ass, as it were. People like that dipshit give fanboys a bad name. An actual fanboy is simply someone who is a massive fan of something, so technically I am a Halo and a Valve fanboy, but I would never argue and yell stupid stuff like that about either. If someone has an opinion then that's fine, provided it is an informed opinion and not simply someone jumping on the love/hate wagon.
So yes, OP, although I disagree with your opinion that is your own thought and hence you are welcome to it. I agree completely with what you said to the guy and completely disagree with him (apart from the great story bit, of course). You were right, he was wrong. That's all there is to it.

I doubt he's in the army. Soldiers have more dicipline than that. I think he was some 16 year old loser who tries to make fun of you when you beat him in Halo or disagree with him over something. There are quite a few insecure idiots like that on Halo Live.Mrsnugglesworth said:
"I dunno, Bungie isn't known for great stories. Look at almost any other gaming company for that"
So you realised he was a fanboy then you trolled him and now you're here to boast about it and try to make other people react against him. Bravo.
If you're trying to feign some kind of point to this thread than no. "I'm in the army", is just another version of "my dad can beat up your dad"; whether he was in the army or not is irrelevant as fanboys tend to get desperate to drown out criticism. This whole argument of yours amounts to, "I met a fanboy and told him his favourite game had a lousy story, he was offended!".
