A Halo for your Halo

Scary? It’s a website, my dude. I didn’t do some kind of heavy duty stalking.

No? You’re not saying that you’re an authority on what it means to be a Spartan?

You sure sound like you hold yourself up as some kind of Spartan authority.

Except you’re telling people to “be a true Spartan” and suggesting that only women should have the kitty cat emblem. You’re very clearly insulting people that enjoy a specific type of cosmetic.

I don’t think I’m gonna have to worry at all if you’re targeting me first on the battlefield.

Oh I looked at more than just your rank, but I didn’t want to make my reply too personal.

One day you will be a true Spartan and then you will understand, until then I would suggest to maybe not do so much online stalking and arguing for the sake of arguing and relax a little bit. Forums are for people to voice their opinions and you can agree or disagree…just dont be weird ok.

The UNSC spartans and us gamers have a lot in common. For one, we both don’t bang. For another, we both love blue lady.

The irony of saying this, after you said:

Ok you know the word irony, that’s good. How about for you next project you learn the word sarcasm. To give you are starter, sarcasm does not necessarily involve irony and irony has often no touch of sarcasm. I feel that you will be enlightened by this and your answers on the forums will be more accurate and relevant.

I saw your locked post about women, and found many more. I’ve tweeted it out to the devs and people are having their say on the matter without being silenced. You might be interested! @ is the same as here

I don’t use Twitter much, but that’s awesome. I saw someone posted shots from your Twitter messages on Reddit. Guess Reddit mods didn’t like people talking about this either, as they shut it down.

Can only imagine the misogyny that happened on Reddit! My post comments started out okay but now its filled with men saying women don’t deserve the time or effort.

So that’s fun :-1:

I really don’t mind the occasional silly thing, but with that comes a slightly massive little caveat, scarcity.

Johnson hugging a butt-grabbing elite at the end of Halo CE’s legendary difficulty isn’t defining the entirety of the overall tone or visuals of the rest of the game. It’s a short gag running for a minute, limited to the specific requirement of beating the game on Legendary. Barring that and any exclusive grunt dialog the rest of the game doesn’t follow in the same pattern.

The more different silly items getting added, the more the novelty of the sillyness starts to wear off and the more it detracts from the visual identity I’ve come to know Halo having, because those items will be more and more prelevant among players.

I would probably be more OK with the kitty cat ears if they looked more liked the add-ons featured on Mark 5 helmets than the current design where they seem to be literal parts of the helmet. Less sleek, more “boxy” and whatnot.


As much as players can wear what they want, I’m sure a lot of those here toting that argument against people who aren’t happy with the possible direction visuals may take, and disappointment with current visuals, but can’t really explain it, also have some line where they think “enough is enough”.

I mean, say what you want just to “prove me wrong”, but I really doubt many would be ok with a literal santa skin, elfs and fairie dragons, regardless of what you say.

And as much as I don’t have to wear it, I have to look at anyone wearing it.

aye yie yie is it so hard to grasp the concept that some people just don’t like the unimmersiveness of holographic mohawks and halos in the multiplayer, regardless if halo 3 had exploding grunt heads full of confetti?
I mean the sentiment isn’t that hard to understand, y’all can agree to disagree on what cosmetics fit the universe or not, instead of arguing for 50 posts trying to “prove who the idiot is” lmao XD

There is no getting around this. The only “older halo” with “fart clouds” is halo reach.

Obviously. That’s why I corrected you when I said that “or” is the conjunction to be used.

Yes! A perfect example of your inexperience with the english language! “And” is actually a dependent coordinating conjunction whereas “or” is an independent coordinating conjunction. Therefore, P and Q is totally separate from P or Q. Remember, halo reach is the only game with fart clouds and that statement is directly connected by “and”. For someone so focused on semantics, you really dropped the ball here :frowning:

Not true. There are still those that ran through the whole game without knowing how to get it. Cat ears are literally shown to you, with the price, in the front page of halo infinite multiplayer. Saturation is one of the key aspects of believability. If you have cat ears, flaming shoulders, samurais, and other nonsense in the game in tandem you greatly impact the believability.

No because bungie never made the multiplayer canon.

No point here, just opinionated rhetoric.

So then there is a canon explanation for cat ears? Lmao that’s hilariously bad.

It does not. The yoroi armor is from a civilization from another dimension where samurai culture lasted until modern day. So how did it make its way to the UNSC in 2552? Please don’t try to answer this question. It’s literally just 343 back pedaling

You’re making me want to unblock Porrage just so I can watch him get whipped.

All I can see is you arguing with a P in a circle :joy:

Or we can just keep arguing I guess lmao

I would never block someone. That’s the easy way out. The guy can bring up some good points. It’s a shame he’s a -Yoink!- and has garbage opinions lol

I enjoy arguing with people who may have good points, knowledge and witty insults. That’s why I blocked Porrage :joy:

Yes. And there’s more than one older Halo with grunt birthday party.

It’s amazing how much effort you’re going through in vain to distract from the initial point, which was that Halo 3 had grunt birthday party. Like, not only are you wrong about grammar, but you’re tacitly conceding that you can’t challenge my first statement.

No, that’s not a correction. My statement is perfectly fine without the use of “or.” I notice that you conveniently left out the example I used since it absolutely blasts your entire grammar conversation into the dirt.

Here’s another one:

“Older Halos have such iconic lines as ‘Wake me when you need me’ and ‘I know what the ladies like.’”

One line from Halo 3, one line from Halo 2. The sentence works just fine.

WHAT?! Holy crap. The coordinating conjunction “and” works just fine when the subject is “older Halos.”

“Halo Reach” is not the subject of the sentence, “Older Halos” is the subject. We talk like this all the time.

Here’s one more example:

“My friends have the worst fashion sense. Last night when we got together I saw an ugly striped shirt and a garish polka dot shirt.”

I wouldn’t need to use “or” in this sentence at all, despite each friend only wearing one shirt. I can come up with random examples of this all day long. You have to either be trolling, or you just can’t admit that you forgot grunt birthday party existed outside of Halo Reach.

Then what level of saturation objectively makes something unbelievable? Because I was seeing Hayabusa in every other match during Halo 3. It was probably the most popular armor by a longshot.

That’s not what I asked. I’m not asking about older Halos. I’m asking about Halo Infinite. Since Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is canon, are you upset at the flaming helmets being in the lore now?

Holy crap you actually did miss the point.

It’s the same level of explanation for the Hayabusa armor. Did you just not understand what you read?

I didn’t comment on how believable the lore was. I said the level of justification is the same, which is that in both cases of Hayabusa and Yoroi, the devs just handwaved the justification with the most basic explanation.

Here’s a question to exemplify why they’re both actually stupid: Why would the Japanese model their spartan helmets after a character from a Japanese action game from the 21st century?

Except I’m not getting whipped. This dude misread something I said about “older Halos” and is grasping at straws trying to come up with some absolutely stupid explanation about the proper use of “and.” Which is funny because I’ve then used examples that he conveniently ignores. This is hardly a thrashing.

Actually, you blocked me because you started a misinformed topic and I replied to it, but you’d made an echo chamber thread and you didn’t actually want someone to explain the concern you had. You blocked me because you just didn’t want to hear a dissenting opinion, despite me being pretty level-headed in my post.

how serious you take these arguments make you very unpalatable.

it’s like you type on adderall, which is fine I just want to be sure you know what type of tone your posts come across with XD

I couldn’t care less that you find me unpalatable; I feel the same way about virtually every post I’ve read from your account. Of course the reason you’re saying this in response to my post instead of, say, something like this:

Ya know, namecalling that the forum has to censor, is because you agree with that guy and disagree with me.

When I’m arguing with a dude that says something so demonstrably false as “you didn’t mean to use the conjunction ‘and’ you should have used ‘or’” because he can’t actually address my point, it’s very, very easy to get frustrated.
