You're fucking kidding me, right? Or trolling? Please, tell me you're purposefully sounding stupid here.maddawg IAJI said:from the African Americans like Master Chief.
This is very true, i often find myself defending Halo because so many people seem to dislike it without even having played it. (and i need to be specific, playing one mission split-screen at your friend's apartment does not mean you have played Halo).Danz D Man said:Oh man, Halo, what an original topic for MovieBob to talk about.
It's gotten to the point where arguing serves no purpose since you'll never change your opinion even though you have no idea what the actual Halo storyline is...
Oh wait, that'd be fascism too, eh Bob?
Bob, let me get this right out first. I love ya man, I really do. Although your views are biased they're well worded and even if they're one sided they help give insight to at least one side of the conversation which in turn helps give more insight into other sides of the conversation. I'm really happy you've been given the equivalence of free reign here and I usually agree with your views, even on Halo. But man, you have opened yourself up to a major shitstorm here. I know you're no stranger to flamers and hate mail, but you may really be in for it this time. Here's to hoping you're as thick skinned as you seem.MovieBob said:Combat Evolved?
This week MovieBob rants about Halo.

*sigh* I really should stop before it looks like I have no life... I swear, I do, it's just that whenever I see something like this, I have to point it out.CJ1145 said:Finally, your point about the characterization falls flat if you give it some thought. Since you're not a fan of Halo, I doubt you'd even know that there's two groups of Spartans. Spartan-IIs, and Spartan-IIIs. The Master Chief (and the big guy Jorge) are Spartan-IIs, who are trained to be a bit more individualistic and free-thinking, so of course they'd be the snarkers or big softies of the group. The other Spartans were IIIs, and were meant as more spec-ops cannon fodder, of a sorts. Their personalities would have little opportunity to bloom, and would obviously be forced into the bitter badass that most of them seem to be.
I rather think that suggesting a game series promotes ideals of racial supremacy, even if you're saying that it was done unintenionally, is more than 'light criticism'. Light critcism would be 'I don't think the AI is very good' or 'The story is a bit clichéd'.delroland said:I find it hilarious that all the HALO fanboys come out of the woodwork to cry foul when their game comes under even light criticism.
HALO is not the greatest thing since sliced bread. Get over yourselves.
Seeing as how the first Tau codex was released less than a month before Halo: Combat Evolved was, I'd say Bungie must work fast.C-Demo said:Also, does anyone else realise that the Covenant = the Tau?
