I think you misspelled "Why Halo is awesome"

Also, why would anybody dual wield Light Machine Guns? Everybody knows you can only do that with submachine guns.

Hmm. I checked the spelling again, and to be on the safe side I ran it through a thesaurus, and it gave me the following options: worthless, lame, boring, linear, unoriginal, uninspired and bunchofcrazyshitlikevehiclesimpervioustodamage.

So... It's just like every other popular game being made today? (except for Portal)

I also ran it through my own thesaurus and it only gave me one option: Fun.
You probably just have a different edition of that thesaurus.

Well, if I've learned anything from videogames, its that you Americans can pack your shit up and get out of there, this guy can take care of the rest.

Yeah you cant duel wield those in Halo. You must be thinking of Golden Eye. Besides everyone knows that TF2 is the ultimate FPS.

well MG, since you are a fan of realism, I suppose you prefer:

And Hollywood.

What you couldn't see was the large blue target to the left.

Dual Wield is God's gift to man.. everything is better when dual wielded. You should try dual wielding lawnmowers, it's bad-ass. And cheese graters, man, that cheese can't get grated fast enough.

i've never played this game. i've never played portal. i'm still playing river city ransom.

Well master chief IS a super human clone...Not a regular human

DUH

That's what I hate about Halo... it's soooo unrealistic, it's like, also, don't you notice that Master Chief NEVER has to go to the bathroom. He runs around from ring world to ring world and you never see the guy hunch over and drop a deuce. Does he have some kind of colostomy container somewhere in his armor. Ewwwww.....

Okay, in halo masterchief never dual wields SAWs... Secondly, ever notice how high he jumps? Yeah, its because his armour suit is strength enhancing... So dual wielding even SAWs would be no prob. FOOLS

/sigh, do i seriously SERIOUSLY have to prove my nerdliness?

Alright, Master Chief A.K.A. John, taken as a child, raised for military, in his teens he and the other spartans were injected with controversial enhancements, those who made it would have incredible strength, stamina, bones that would nearly never break, and were made into super soldiers in the first place.

later on in I believe their twenties, they came out with the Mjonlir mark I.
The suit at the time did not have shields, only technology to enhance human performance (Running, jumping, lifting) which when tested on a regular human was so powerful and fast that just snapping a salute shattered his arm.

Later on, the suits were upgraded with shields once jackal shield technology was captured on the battlefield all the while improving the Mjonlirs capabilities, and by the time halo 2 rolled around, they were up to I believe Mjonlir Mark V.

Now, take all that into consideration, and realise the only think he ever dual weilds are pistols, alien weapons, and sub machine guns. Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but half the SMG's we can use now (Usi, Skorpion, ect) are small enough that they COULD actually be dual weilded and used...well, in some cases effectively.

So keeping that in mind, and the fact that halo takes place in the year 2517 onward, i'm sure there would have been vast advances in the sub-machine gun technology, making them lighter and more user friendly.

Now, i'm done. and yes, I am potentially the biggest nerd on the planet.

Last time I checked Halo was a videogame and in no way meant to be realistic. You should try Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2. Lots of ex and active service personnel play it.

no shepppard, to be the biggest nerd on the planet, you would have to own a cat and also know its aspect ratio.

I own 8, that's an 8-2 love aspect ratio for the members of this house, and therefore, I can never wear black pants again.

On the basis of this, Doom and Wolfenstein 3D is a piece of turd. Which is of course, why we liked them.

Games are games, simulators are simulators.

If that were me, my nuts would drop from their undescended position to the floor from all the manliness

Where is that video by adult swim which mocks people who nit pick over things like this....

Dear lord. The only reason I used that title is because I hate Halo.

Also: "Master Chief" = master Chief petty officer in the Navy or Master Chief Sergeant in the Air Force. Isn't that guy supposed to be a Marine?

What? He looks fine.

The game might be sorta generic, but the books were great!

Also, for the record, all the Spartans wore a fusion-powered armor suit. Dude can lift a freaking tank, dual wielding a couple machine guns isn't going to be a problem.

[edit]: What Shepppard said.

I think this video holds true for pretty much any FPS out there, not just the dual-wield, but the carrying of more than two weapons.

Well, it looks like I have a new definition of "macho".

No, a nerd would have known how to spell Mjolnir, and if (s)he didn't, would have looked it up.

You, sir/ma'am, are a dork.

Ah, I always mess that up. I've always pronounced it "Mjonlir" because i'm slightly dyslexic, and thats how I read it first.

im so glad that i dont play videogames anymore...

@Shepppard: I hate dyslexicans...

^LAWL! That was funny and mean... and possibly racist.

Someone answer me this: How the hell do you get all that backstory from Halo 1? I never heard any of it.
