Sometime during the weekend they said. Now when exactly, that’s the question.

But I am really looking forward to it.

Considering that he is an ONI operative and will eventually become a Spartan, I think he will be very professional and good in combat. I am excited for Nightfall, especially because my father is into the Halo story so we can watch it together. Can’t get him to play any games though. He says his head aches when he looks into the screen.

And I want to see the Arbiter and his armor. Wondering if he will wear his old armor or the Escalation one.

I hate that the Universe section is mostly active at 1-3AM

I can’t feast on awesome theories and arguments at a normal time.

Considering the Escalation one was for a peace talk… I think he has more armor sets… Like 1 for everyday of the week.

lol

Really? Damn, that’s awesome. Only my friends & I are into the Halo story, tried to get my sister into it (like how she got me into Kingdom Hearts, & succeeded), failed numerous times though :L

Well, from 2 of my sisters, I only get “Science-Fiction? Disgusting”. And my friends at school? “Halo? That’s awful, I hate Halo”

So my father is pretty much the only one enjoying the lore with me. He even read all the books that I own, which is 2 books more then I read. And he was amazed by FuD even with the low budget it had. He watched it twice so far and eagerly awaits more movies. :smiley:

@ HurryingCandy: That’s hilarious! Arby must be a fabulous Elite.

I guess that’s what the forums are for, to discuss Halo without having to deal with people who don’t like it. Kinda like a Safe Haven, if you ask me. If you even mention it in some places, you could be torn to sunder. Glad Twitter ain’t like that (for the most part).

I love it how you can’t mention Halo without some people stating how -Yoink- they think it is. The most annoying people are the ones who immediately say that Halo sucks in comparison to Star Wars because SW has so much more lore and earned more money.
It’s like saying that the bigger melon tastes better because it is bigger.

But you are right. These forums are paradise if you know where to enjoy them. :smiley:

I find the most annoying Halo haters to be those who call Halo ‘‘The cancer that started the downfall of FPS’s’’

My brother got me into Halo but he hated it after Reach. I got him to play Halo 4 and read Cryptum but Bungie really ruined it for him

I’ve also actually gotten flak from people who think it’s wrong to play Xbox & Halo. But the best thing to do in regards to those people is to ignore them. If they don’t like it, that’s fine, but criticizing others who like it just tops the -Yoink- detector, so just ignore & move on. Every franchise has both a fanbase & a group of people who hate it openly. Prime example being: Call of Duty. I’m not a fan but I don’t yell at people who enjoy it, unlike some people on the web.

Hyperbole defines us gamers.

How could have i been so blind about ClapTraps ability in the next Borderlands game?

When looking at the scene where all 4 characters are back to back in this trailer, Clappy is doing some ninja movements, and the whole ninja thing was a little joke in the first game, like this image shows.

Also there is that one image going around the web where a play tester is playing as Claptrap and Clappy has a ‘Ninjabot’ Class mod on.

Why can’t I picture a loudmouthed flailing tiny robot to be considered a lethal ninja assassin?

I’d imagine that he would alert the enemy of his presence long before he reached them.

There are some theories floating around the web where people are suggesting that Angel is controlling ClapTrap throughout the game, since she is capable of controlling Hyperion tech, and ClapTrap is a Hyperion robot.
