You know, its kind of sad that if I were to mention the discussions that go on here to somebody in the real world, they would call me crazy as well as obsessive and a complete geek/nerd/whatever. Then I come here and discover that I'm way out of my league. Especially when people recall details that I don't even remember....

But yeah, the AR allows people to survive, if they use backstabbing and KSing a lot Suddenly Jacen could see his challenge, and the prospect terrified him. He would have to kill those he most loved. He would have to kill Tenel Ka and his precious daughter, his Allana. The fact that even the thought of it was tearing out his heart was the terrible proof that it had to be so. And still he could hardly bear think it. The Yuuzhan Vong thought they knew all there was to know about inflicting pain, but they were beginners compared to this. How could he even think it? Jacen put his right hand to his face and touched it, as if it weren't his own. He felt as if he were standing over by the far wall, watching himself die by degrees. Is it me? Is it really my burden? Yes, Grandfather. It's me. Jacen accepted the burden in its entirety, and his heart- irrelevant, fragile, expendable- broke. ______________________________________________________________________ "Something to remember the next time you decide to play the Hapan game of bloodletting and backstabbing."

Unfortunately, this a thing where we should test our skills against each other to prove a victor but I don't think that's going to work. Oh well.

Of course, there's no way we can prove this until I get an X-Box Live account- which will not happen for a while Suddenly Jacen could see his challenge, and the prospect terrified him.

Posts: 2576 Jul 6 08 10:37 PM	Well let me know when you do. I'd love to go head to head with you. The needler is a good weapon, especially for ambush but if I know it's there, I'm usually pretty decent at avoiding it. Anon, do you use melee's in combination with the AR? That's usually what I do.

Speaking of grenades, which is your favourite grenade? Frag, Plasma, Spike or Fireball? I like fireball best, mainly for the cool graphics.

It's got the throw style of a frag, the stickiness of a plasma and the ability of directional fire which is just awesome.

My roommate and I actually did get really good with it at one point, only to find that our sticky skills got worse as a result. What a sad day that was Anyway, BR > AR. And for once in this series, the Needler is actually worth picking up.

So, in exchange, they've made it nearly as powerful as the twin needlers were. And between spike and plasma, I'll have to go with plasma too. It took me a while to relearn sticking, but I'm pretty good at it now. Next question: Gravity Hammer, Shotgun or Energy Sword? Suddenly Jacen could see his challenge, and the prospect terrified him.

Posts: 3302 Jul 10 08 5:09 PM	I hate the sniper rifle in H3. In H2, I was the best sniper around. But now there's either some kind of lag between trigger pull and shot, or it just overall feels slower. I can't really put my finger on it...

In Valhalla, playing a 3-4 player game, once a player takes a banshee, and destroys the other banshee, he'll probably run riot before he's stopped.

Posts: 6140 Jul 11 08 12:41 AM	No, my point was that the Banshee is overpowered in Halo 3, because the main counter to it is gone. I'll admit that the Halo 2 Rocket Launcher was too good regarding Ghosts and Warthogs, but Banshees can still avoid lock-ons if you're good enough.
