Banshee, or Hornet?

I haven't played halo 3 yet, so I can't tell you about the Hornet, but the Banshee, I have to explain oddly:

Halo 1: The Plasma Cannons are powerful, and the Arc Rod gives added firepower, making any attack from the bottom or front nigh-impossible. However, an attack from the flank or the back, especially with heavy weapons like the Rocket Launcher, are devastating.

Halo 2: The Arc Gun is removed, making attacks significantly weaker, meaning attacking Ghosts or Scorpions head-on a tricky task. But the Plasma Cannons are still there, meaning it isn't impossible, especially with the brand new flip maneuvers.

I can name two things wrong with that:

1. That attack with the Warthog took incredible skill. I'm pretty skilled with a Warthog, but I've never pulled off something like that, and he took out FOUR REDS. That's a move that should be commended.

2. The blue picks up a Fuel Rod Gun, and is taken out by no less than FOUR snipers. Who the **** does that kind of thing when he KNOWS his teammates are all snipers as well? A cheap tactic, not to mention sniping is looked down upon.

That video is a testament against n00bs, yes, but not against what it says it is.

Jadow I think that was just for show. nobody just stands there shooting when a warthog comes flying at them.

I didn't get halo 3 but I did just download Halo Custom edition and Halo editing kit. GOing to try to make my own maps.

EDIT: Five minutes of trying to make a map and my head exploded. And I did nothing of consequence.

camping, teabagging, and butchering the english language maybe, but not sniping.

I look down on anything that's a 1 hit kill and/or requires no learned skill.

Since some whiney little boy got artfully sniped down and decided that that was a pussy kill, and raised hell about it.

I know from personal experience that sniping takes some degree of skill! I've been paying halo for quite a while now and I can't snipe worth sh***

Halo 3 is out. The Halo Movie is in Development Hell, and will likely NOT surface for several years. I imagine that the revelations in Halo 3 set the writers back a couple years. (I assume they'd want to keep inside of canon)

Questions:
So, as usual, I go shopping on a whim. Today's haul:
CD- Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
DVD- Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny
Box set- Family Guy volume 5

This a cool haul or lame?

Happy Locust:

Hilarious and guranteed to make your face melt.

Best watched at 5 am with two mates, while playing a deathmatch game of monopoly.

I still can't get over the big foot bit...

I don't think they removed the fuel rod cannon on the banshees in Halo 2... At least not on the copy I play.

The FR Cannon is removed from Multiplayer, at least on the Xbox version.

I don't know if I've ever checked.

I normally just drive hogs off of tanks for fun

I don't know if this actually counts as a Q, but please recommend me a non-Gundam Sunrise anime series, which happens not to be Cowboy Bebop, s-CRY-ed, Big O, Tosho Daimos, Combattler V, Voltes V, or Inuyasha. It's just that I unknowningly grew up watching Toei Animation-produced series.

by **Tweezy** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 2:31 pm

pinch:
-the devil may cry anime is surprisingly good! there's also blood plus, full metal alchemist (also surprisingly good), and bo-bo-bo bobo-bo-bo

Everything Tweezy said. I also suggest BLEACH (A mix of InuYasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Rurouni Kenshin.) Also, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Rurouni Kenshin. In fact, anything by Shonen Jump is pretty good.

Ronin Warriors. my fave anime of all time

The Happy Locust-
Cool haul.

I beat Halo 3! IT rocks!

okay, how creepy is this?
-I was wading through my usual list of spam myspace friend request when I come upon a profile with a picture of a really nice looking girl with ample cleavage and a great body. I look over to read the name and I was met with a shock when I read
*John wants to be your friend.*

is this not creepy?

I'd say either that photos old, or it's new.

Or it's just some guy that gets off putting sexy pics on his page.

And yes, that's quite creepy.
I suggest you add him and invite him to dinner. Or her.
