The MAC, well, if the name bothers you, just pretend it's called archer missle. Seeing as it has the same effect and all.

Isn't a archer missle explosive? MAC's are not evplosive, how large would be the detonation of a archer missle?

by **Vigil** Thu Mar 05, 2009 2:45 pm

It would be the same as the MAC in Halo Wars.

That's why we suggested it as an alternative.

Im arguing witha person on FF.net over why real world physics matter in HW when it coems to something like teh MAC

Yeah, but can I get a link so I can join in? Or is it a PM thing?

by **Kasrkin Seath** Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:55 pm

specifically to start arguments... I had nothing better to do at the time.

Haven't gotten the game yet, and probably won't for a while. I'm not doing so well, monetarily. I might see if I can't just rent it and beat it on an easy difficulty, just to see how badly canon is. Then I can go back to HWF with a vengeance, and that little dweeb Artifact who keeps telling me I am forbidden from complaining because I haven't played the game (and, at this point, no one has) won't be able to stop me.

Rot is on a mission and no one is going to stop him lol.

They've fucked it up tremendously.

I mean the Pillar of Autumn? Common.
The Autumn was pulled from storage and refit in 2550 to serve 'in the current conflict in Zeta Doradus'

Wow. Who's flaming now that all the seniors(and decent members) have left?

by KristallNacht Thu Mar 05, 2009 10:56 pm

watched the cutscenes on youtube

they were pretty good. but fuck, they didn't even get the CRYO bay scene accurate

by **Vigil** Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:39 pm

That's just the tip of the whole shitty Iceberg NT.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

by JB Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:44 pm

my favorite dumb scene ive seen (still only played the demo) is where Sergant Forge (Which BTW is probably the most retarded name ive ever heard of) pop up and fire a shotgun 20+ feet at an Elite and every single shot hitting him in the chest. I thought that was halariously dumb (getting the game really soon)

by L0d3x Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:58 am

Stupid ES, fucking up our halo.
I honestly now believe the story could've been written by one of the many average fanfic writers at HWF. And Graeme was all like "OMG TEH STORY R SO EPIC". And the other guy about the Spartans was like "ITS LIEK 20 BATMANS, SOO COOL DUDEZ". Honestly, when the Spartans appeared there really was nothing special about it.

ES overestimates itself.

by Ascendant Justice Fri Mar 06, 2009 6:11 am

Anyone who has the game, how many missions are there that have time limits?

by **Vigil** Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:56 pm

3 missions have time limits.

1 has a timer to tell you when a cleansing beam will go off.

Shotguns are rather accurate, contrary to popular belief.

by **Rotaretilbo** Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:12 pm

Aye, but the M90 Close Quarters Combat System, the shotgun of the Halo verse, is not so accurate at range.

by **Vigil** Fri Mar 06, 2009 3:08 pm

What I found more amusing was the marine who got hit by a needler neck to him in the shoulder, just drops like a stone, and the thing doesn't explode.
