Hehehe... we need to get MasterCheif back here. I would pay good money to see a match between you two. :D

After all, there can be but one "definitative Halo master."

Yes, indeed "A duel between titans," quoting James Bond. I definately love to see it. I'm really good in my area (of course not as good as Jeremy ;)), but I cant say I am the best because I have only played at several lan parties with people, and also at a tournament in the midwest area.

Most of the kids that are the really hard core halo players are of course going to be better, I dont have the time with school and all my activities, etc. to be the best in the world, but Im still really good, and Im content with that. I rather play at a lan gathering with a bunch of friends though, until Halo 2 xbox live. :) I'll probably start playing that a lot as soon as it comes out, and getting ready to play online. While I'm waiting right now though I'll probably just brush up on the old Halo 1 skills. :fuzsmile:

Edit: It would actually be a duel for "Halo God" between death and MC.

Im just a lowly halo master....:p

Speaking of PMs SeaRex, have you checked your inbox lately?

Yes. Your reply was funny.

Of course, I probably would have liked it more if you actually DID remove that stuff from your sig; you just came off as cruel considering how politely I asked you.

Oh holy ****! I completely forgot, shit, I am so sorry! ... damn... hehe. Wow sorry, that really honestly was unintentional!

DAMN! haha.

Ok I'll shift it once I've done with this post.

Al the Vykker 01-21-2004 12:29 PM

Oh well, I gues you can disregard my previous post. Im sure death could take me out easily in Halo PC. I dont even have it yet. :fuzemb:

I was talking about Halo for Xbox, although Im thinking about buying pc for the online multiplayer so I can keep me busy with someithing "haloish".

So it looks like the duel we were hoping for is postponed, Jeremy is just really really good at Halo for Xbox, he doesnt have Halo PC. He mainly will play CS or SWG on his computer.

SeaRex 01-21-2004 12:29 PM

Oh... I thought you were just being an ass. No hard feelings.

Fez 01-22-2004 08:10 AM

ahahahahhaha! MC verses Death, what a match.

i studied the writing on the Battle Rifle: "Kaliber 9.65mm" Kaliber is German for caliber. So this looks like H&K is still making guns in the future. 9.56mm is a made up round, but just as a guess i think it would have the stopping power of 5.56 and the accuracy of 9mm.

Yeah, no worries man. :talk:

As for me vs MC, I don't think it's going to happen to be honest. I'd like to play someone I'm evenly matched to, or someone who is perhaps better than me, but really I couldn't care less about it.

I'm just any normal guy who happens to be really good at computer games. So if you want an opinion on what makes a good game, I'm the guy you can turn to.

And you would happen to know this, because... ?

Fez 01-23-2004 08:38 AM

well, from info from himself and Al. He was so good he was asked to be in the halo tournament (sp?) last year. Not alot of people are asked...

Having done a few tournaments myself, I've pretty much concluded that I wouldn't want to do it again, for the sake of avoiding all the arrogant tossers that seem to gather in these places like flies gathering on steaming shit.

MC can fight me over the net if he wants to, but I doubt that he will. Most the people I've played over internet get really stroppy with me when they start to loose.

Fez 01-23-2004 09:26 AM

more sweet pics...

i've just heard that ALL the weapons from halo 1 will return. However they will be custom Spartan guns. So expect silencers and laser sights. Btw, it sounded official, but i'm not too sure.

As I stated in my previous post, Master Chief only plays Halo for xbox, he doesnt even own Halo PC, and hasnt played it yet, so unfortunately there won't be a "duel between titans." :p

On the computer he mainly plays counter strike and star wars galaxies now.

When it comes to halo Im really really good at the xbox version like MC, but I would totally suck at the PC version because I havent even tried it yet.

Fez 01-23-2004 11:08 PM

the PC versons cool. The rocket hog is lotsa fun.

what do you all think is the best weapon combo in MP? Plasma rifle and Shotty for me.

top 10 things that could ruin halo 2

Yeah heres also a list of the things people are looking forward to in halo 2. :fuzsmile:

Remember to check out part 2 of the list also.

Counter Strike sucks. Too many cheaters, hackers and script kiddies.

Trust me, if you play Counter Strike well, then you'll play HALO PC well. The controls can be set up to be exactly the same. I kill all in my path, nobody survives. I've won every game I've played. Come get some if you think you're hard enough! [sup]tm[/sup] :D

Like Ferill said, the new warthog, and banshee's in multiplayer make HALO PC the best HALO release yet. The banshee's are slightly annoying though. They need toning down really, they're a bit impossible to kill on foot. (although I've busted up loads with the fuel rod gun & firework launcher)

Fez 01-25-2004 05:52 AM

i already put that site up Al.

i'm not too bad at CS, maybe i'll be good at halo pc.

Esus 01-25-2004 08:54 AM

Halo 2 is looking really good. It makes it even more of a shame that I can't get Xbox Live :(

Fez 01-25-2004 09:07 AM

dont worry. I cant get xbox live either. Well, i could. But it would be much more money for me to get it. I might have to get it just for this game! the "battleground halo" idea sounds so cool.

Majic 01-25-2004 09:41 AM

Counter-Strike sucks because of cheaters? If you play on secure servers or whatever, you shouldn't have a problem. My brother actually got our CD key banned because he'd use a single shot script. Well, actually not our CD key, but a friends I believe. Copied disk.

I've been needing to reinstall HL anyways. But of course, we forgot the CD key to our copied disk, don't ahve the original, and... Psh.

I miss CS.

I've got the Half Life Generations box set. It's a ****ing pain in the ass because there aren't any CD keys anywhere. I have to go on the net and use ones listed there. I suggest you do the same...

You wont be able to play online, but at least you'll be able to play HL, BS, & OF.

Fez 01-25-2004 09:54 AM

i hate hackers in CS, really ruins the game. I tend to use secure servers, but still, hackers get in somehow.

sometimes i'm blamed for hacking 'cause i'm really good. Very embarrasing.

anyway, back on topic. What are you most looking forward to?

Yes that CONSTANTLY happens to me. It's so frustrating. Especially when you put alot of effort into winning.

To be honest, when I lose, I don't care. Sure it pisses me off when people start rolling on the floor, laughing their head off every time they get a good shot in. But I don't make a big deal out of it.

Fez 01-25-2004 09:59 AM

same. A few minutes ago i got three head shots in a row with one mag. God the abuse.

Majic 01-25-2004 10:03 AM

I had BS on my computer a while back. My brother had downlaoded it. I was relatively close to beating it too. Then I forgot about it, and it got screwed up somehow.

I think I'll just go get the box set and shell out 30$ or whatever. Have a legitimate copy and everything.

Oh yea... and cheating in CS can be so freaking hilarious at times. A while back, me and my brother had gotten OGC. See through walls, no recoil, no flash bang blindings, no smoke, people glow, etc etc etc... So much fun.

Yeah I know, but I just posted a quick link for anybody wanting to see some of the anticipated new features of Halo 2. :fuzsmile:

I really think the prophets are kick A$$! :) It would be cool to see them sit there in their floating chairs and be able to start lifting objects with their mind telepathically.

gonna be shit hard to kill though...

Al the Vykker 01-26-2004 01:39 PM

I mean it would be really cool to try and take one hostage have the battle rifle against its head, and it orders for more troops with its mind, while it basically pulls the gun right out of your hands.

You're not very good at this are you? Shit I'm glad you're not the game designer for HALO 2. (No offense)

Fez 01-27-2004 09:25 AM

well, the only way i can think to kill a Prophet is to just overwhelm it with bullets. Or blow it to peices with enough C4. Then again this is how i kill most things on halo.

http://dumbass.ionichost.com/?id=o.p

It's a site where all pics known of Halo 2 are collected! It shows what their sources are, so I think these are all real pics (You'll find some new pics too!).

Esus 01-27-2004 10:01 AM

Thats a good site, I've seen all of those pics except some of the final concept art ones, such as those for the new covenant vehicles. I'm also pretty certain they're real Halo2 pics.

Fez 01-28-2004 09:03 AM
