@Marathon_RB Bit of an old head here, I’d be interested in sending a demo of what I feel is a “good” game for me and what is a “bad” game for me if ur interested in looking at both, no rush no pressure, just if ur interested
In honour of Halo CE's 22nd anniversary, I wanna talk about one of its most underrated yet best features:
Its loading screen
The earlier Halo games treated loading screens like thematic, atmospheric art pieces, a perfect mood setter while you waited for the game to load 🔥
I’m sure the .0025% of gamers at the top are stoked that there are $10s of millions in prize money being inflated into esports
But am I crazy in thinking we lost what made everyone love it? Thousands of people in one room playing games.
Seems like that worked for everyone…players, teams, publishers, sponsors, venues
Everything is an over commercialized, soul less, copy and paste today and the only thing improving is prize money and the number of LED lights in the air
@NesityTweets That’s why the game is dead, the core fan base that should be carrying through from the beginning feels the same, we lost a part of it with every iteration after Reach. There’s only so much disappointment that people can take before they lose the drive to continue
@NesityTweets A lot of people are probably gonna come at you with negativity on this tweet but I appreciate your passion. I used to feel excited about halo ever since I flicked to TNT and saw Halo 2 being played on the MLG circuit. I remember that feeling and infinite doesn’t do that for me…
“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

@Spartan Not everyone plays this game the way you do or at the intensity you do. If you want competence then play with people you can trust to do that, if not then expect nothing and chill out. In the end it’s a game and at that it’s a game that’s basically dead.
@Geo_AW I see you getting a lot of hate for this list, especially Coby, but it’s all true, good take, I feel like a lot of characters in One Piece could have their own series and it would be fire
