i think you should play black ops one more time, that story was actually interesting for me at least

> I think I care about the lives of simple AI characters too much. I will move heaven and earth to save every marine that follows me in Halo.

I feel the same way, to the point where I’ll name ones that follow me everywhere. Like this one on The Ark who I gave a Rocket Launcher on the back of my Mongoose. I was devastated when I had to head inside and leave her.

Sometimes, I’ll even give them powerful weapons like Shotguns and Railguns. It makes sense for Chief to look out for his fellow soldiers by treating them like more than ammo refills.

O.o

It didn’t bother you.
One bit.

On the other hand… you can’t go comparing something that actually has a storyline than something that doesn’t! :wink:

I feel the same way for AI… I will defend my Marines’ lives with my own… but I don’t go as far as to grant them power weapons. They’re aim…

@Exotic about my cyan type:
What, you like this better?

There’s this ODST on the Ark who I call Red (because of his secondary color). I always give him the sniper rifle. My heart just breaks if he dies.

Does anyone else here have an Xbox One? If so, do you know what that 1.9GB update was all about?

Each time I see an update as large as that I’m praying to god almighty that they’ve changed something on the main menu…like the look but I’m always disappointed.

i haven’t got any update, weird.

no need to change its just that my room has the lights turned off and it just stinged a bit in the eyes

I haven’t gotten any updates.

So there’s a new iphone coming out soon…? Any more news on that? I have an iPhone 4. It’s become a piece of crap. I need to replace it asap, but there’s no point if an iPhone 6 will be out soon…

is anyone looking forward for below?

I’d rather see a sand/sand paper test. Bending, dropping and such never damaged my -Yoink- iphone 4. I doubt it will an iphone 6. Sand and tiny sharp particles is what will cause scratching and damage.

> I think I care about the lives of simple AI characters too much. I will move heaven and earth to save every marine that follows me in Halo.

Same. I try to save even the ones that are scripted to die.

Remember the Warthog that gets rammed in Halo 3’s The Storm? I managed to somehow save those guys by having my gunner push the Chopper off it’s course.

Turns out those 2 guys on that Hog don’t even have pathing so they would just stand there and watch -_-

And the ODSTs in The Ark. I steal the two Prowlers and set up all the ODSTs and the Marines in both Prowlers (I won’t explain the setup, its painful, annoying, complex and long, so…) so when I reach the FUD landing zone all the ODSTs get into a Pelican and leave (for some reason).

Its good to see them leave alive at least (for some reason (again)).

This is the august update for xbox one

http://news.xbox.com/2014/07/xbox-one-august-preview-update

Just a random question for everyone here. If you had to pick one game (besides the MCC) this year, which game would that be?

For me, it definitely is a tie between Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Destiny. Destiny is looking promising so far and the immense nostalgia from Pokemon Alpha Sapphire is eating away at me.

In the end however, I would probably go with Destiny. Destiny is very fun to play with friends and it seems enjoyable so far.

Not really looking foward any games besides MCC this year (and I still don’t have a One…)

When Battlefront and the new Mass Effect come out, which is most likely in two years, I definitely not know which to pick.

Not even… Super Smash Bros!!!

Just kidding. I have to agree. It appears all the amazing games are coming out either next year or two years from now (ex. Battlefront 3, Mass Effect, Uncharted 4, etc.).

Advanced Warfare looks promising.

So far yes. However, i’m one of those people that wants Call of Duty to go back to its WWII roots. The games are ok, but I think being futuristic actually decreases the games originality.

I planned on giving up on Call of Duty for a while, but the circumstances surrounding Advanced Warfare’s creation got my interest.
