I would kill the civies for simply being annoying if it didn't automatically kill me. I just like ODST's because they're ODST's. Civilians can go fuck themselves, or in this case, jump off a building and get out of my way.

Kind of defeats the aim of saving Humanity...

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Yeah, having a video game adaptation of First Strike would have been awesome.

To actually go in and see the training of the Spartan IIs and kick ODSTs around would have been phenomenal.

I liked the feel of ODST because it put you in a more down-to-earth(LOL!) perspective in a series that is very much an epic. Like Halo: Reach, you had a part that felt more on-par with special forces rather than a huge, central hero like the Chief.

I see what you did there...

But yeah being an ODST was pretty cool, main reasons why i liked Halo3:ODST was the fact that you were playing as a normal human soldier, the story and the atmosphere.

I thought the atmosphere there was pretty hellish in the beginning. Dropping through it from space, then having the equivalent of a nuke blast you off course....

ODST was the best Halo game, as it was stylized like a Noir, had actual character development, and certainly prevented you from feeling like a super soldier. Honestly, I hope they make more ODST games, because they beat the shit out of any other campaign. The music was the best as well.

Reach had awful characters and the campaign kinda sucked. The only character I actually felt for when he died was Jorge. All the other team members sucked.
Accept Jun, because he's actually pretty useful when it comes to cover fire. Although he likes to steal my kills. But yeah, Kat dying was the best moment in the game.

I feel like the most memorable song in all the games was one of the suites from Halo 2. Delta Halo Suite, Mombasa Suite, or Mausoleum Suite.

The commercial on key and peele was odd.
If you don't watch it, it's like smosh, only funny and with black people(no racism).
It started with the beginning of the episode that JUST started, and that red ring appeared, beginning continued, red ring appears. Screen goes black with red ring. And then chiefs being scanned/tortured, and it shows his life. Then that huge thing is in front of him.
Commercial score:9/10

Apparently, you need 8 gigabytes of free memory to play Halo 4s MP,and another 4 if you are getting the Limited edition for the map packs and extra content. I need to get a new hard drive, i dont have enough memory.
