The $500 probably would have been out of price range. And I started saving up a few months ago, so the effort would have been wasted. But, I did as for some money for my birthday.

Positioning, reflexes, smart loadout selections, awareness of surroundings, equipment use/placement, and yes, even the occasional map control.

Finally. Someone who gets it!

Eating a plate of ribs, hotdogs, and steak right now.

In a nutshell COD does take skill, but a different type of skill then Halo has.

I preordered Destiny, and I plan to get Titanfall as soon as I can, but I hadn’t bought anything else because I wanted to focus solely on buying the console first. For the next week, it won’t be seeing much action until Destiny.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention I have the MCC on preorder, too. Just didn’t seem soon enough to mention.

Yes! Good man!

I have Destiny and Halo MCC on pre-order :slight_smile:

Would you say, a very particular set of skills?

Tell me how Destiny is when you do get it. I’m still iffy on this one.

Did you play the Beta Halojunky?

Well never went to hospital. Knee swelling is down a bit. Gonna sit in a chair on my porch and have the GF pour it on me. Should have the video posted here in an hour or two.

> Did you play the Beta Halojunky?

Only for a couple hours at a friends house. I wasn’t really impressed.

> Well never went to hospital. Knee swelling is down a bit.

You should go. I would hate it for you if it became more serious.

Well apparently if it were an actual infection it would be red and I’d have a fever which neither is going on. Pretty sure it’s just an injury I got because my hip went out a day before this, causing too much weight on my skinny knee lol. I do have to go somewhere though so I can get a damn doctors note for work, and I don’t have health insurance so it’s gonna be a pretty penny. How annoying.

Thanks though for the input

Skills a kid who has never played CoD can have after 1 game.

@junktrunk, Yeah Destiny is not amazing but it is really fun.
