I just meant that Xbox Live in it’s basic form IS free, though to do pretty much anything you need a Gold sub.
I probably could’ve worded that better.

#148 Deacon i dont see it that way, i see the game is free to play, what is not free is XBOX Live, but the game is free, GOLD subscribers dont pay anything for this game, which also might indicate that for microsoft users that doesnt have this paid subscription are not worthy of this free to play game, but that hasnt anything to do with the game on itself or the nature of the game, happy wars under its characteristics, is a free to play kind of game, at least in its structure of game, i mean the things that do defines free to play games, are well represented on happy wars.

haha.. @150 – we’ve gone the pedantic route in another thread. Not again please.
And ok, you’re right. You too Manu.
What then do you call the PSN games that are free to play, and don’t even require a sub? They’re even more ‘free’ than Happy Wars! o_O what’s free-er than free-to-play?

#154 Deacon perhaps, free games in free enviroment? or free games in a free service?.
And yes i understand your point, but because of LIVE, we shouldnt change the nature of the game, for some people is free, for me it was free even if i do pay for LIVE, because i do get discounts all months in LIVE that make this game in reality free too, therefore if you look into it i got my moneys worth with all the discounts, so this was in the end free after all, at least for me, of course free PSN discounts are way better in my eyes, because the service is free with all the discounts, which is even swetter, and for the way i play online i dont see major differences between the two, i dont have qualms regarding either of them, and for me both are good, with an slightly advantadge to PSN for its free nature.

Raging idiot, yet again yes I do know your ‘skill level’, which should be zero seeing your ignorant nonsense.
Did you even play Halo CE?? Best way to play it was the magnum.. You’re so full of shit the flies are complaining.
You really should educate yourself.
And you should educate yourself on hypocrisy and it’s logical outcomes too, since you practice it regularly.
Yes you should criticize Sony. Everything you post here is the only possible way people can know anything about you. Unlike you, I don’t use unhealthy imagination to build images of random people.
So like i was saying, indeed you should criticize them before spewing your self contradicting nonsense about others. Again, I diss both. You and your grunt friendo diss anything but Sony, then angrily cry about harsh internet being rude to your precious.
You two (you and Grunt246) came into this thread, angrily reading post after post, seeking ‘unfairness’ and ‘bias’. Noone asked your shitty, uneducated opinion on Halo.
Fool.

This is how i know your comprehension is abysmal. I talk about the stagnant outcome the series has become and how it is not compareable to what you want it to be compared to and then you proceed to taok about?…….The magnums over use in combat evolved?
Dude you prove your ignorance without me even trying.
Now again lets review what i have said in this entire post:
I said psn is not compareable to xbl in offerrings bcause they offer cometely different services.
I then said gold is not compareable to psn+ because again to different services.
I never once bashed xbox through out this entire thread.
I never once praised Sony throughout this thread
I actually asked for impressions on this threads game
I also said Halo no longer does anything for me due to casual playstyles that i grew to detest
I never once said Halo was a shit series, i said the series in its own does ANOTHING FOR ME!
unlike you i dont have to diss,critize, or proclaim tyranny all the damn time i open my mouth/thought to the public

You were saying how it’s a usual practice to exercise close combat, then you said I don’t know your skill. Yes I do, since magnum was the best way to play it.
I really don’t mind people not caring for Halo. Just don’t tell any bs to justify your purchase.

Dude, it is a usual practice to jump all over the place in that game. In both close and far proximity. Again I only told you that i won gaming tournaments and that i lost interest in the game as time went on. Telling you what the average person does in a game doesn’t reflect my skill at all. Its an observation and if you watched some multiplaye footage from NYCC panels of halo 4 you will see exactly what im talking about and how its a correct observation.
Me not caring for halo is completely different then my “justifications” in not wanting to buy the 4th inetallment. While poly and i were talking about halo i told him why i didn’t care for the series any longer. You proceeded to start getting angry because of what i said calling me a hypocrite because what? I played and gave an impression of a game you haven’t even touched while it was in beta?
Right on for you intuitive execution in comprehensive reading.

‘Dude’, first of close combat is the worst way to play it. At best you trade a death for a kill. More so in so called ‘played by you’ when you’ had teh passion’ Combat Evolved.. since magnum was deadly. it was a weapon pros dominated everyone.
You made an utterly inane, irrelevant remark and jumping all over the place as much as it is popular and can be useful is a small part of the game. Even in H3.
Me angry? You ‘re scanning threads (this is one which has abs nothing to do with you) for potentially hazardous anti-Sony posts, going in as soon as you notice one, and proceed to convince everyone how you lost interest in this series because casual players in adverts play casually..
…
..
. Refrain from babbling those fancy words you have no idea about.

Actually no, I came to this thread for impressions and met a great derailment of people who wanted to start talking about how XBL and PSN+ are compareable. So I jumped in on te fun. Had nothin to do with Sony why I came to this and if that were the case I think I would be on other threads as well wouldn’t I? Logic defeated.
I didn’t try to convince anyone of shit. You keep saying that it’s like talking to a person with alzheimers. Maybe you should look back at the part of the discussion where Poly and I were talking about halo 4. Completely relevant for me and his conversation. Your dumbass derailed even that.
I never even plan and simply dived into Halos mechanics because IT WASN’T RELEVANT! You brought it out of your ass just to try and make it seem like I didn’t know what the hell Halo CE (or all of them) Were about. And you failed at that, you just came off as a wanna be know it all in my life. Great job again there learned a lot about myself.
If you think those words were fancy then I think your just easily impressed.
Edit: had to add some H’s stupid keyboard

Don’t ever remember seeing any pro Halo players jumping all over the place.

So you came here looking for impressions on something you would never play, and stumbled across comment on game you never (at least properly) played.. Which is why you thought you should tell everyone how little you care for it.
You really aren’t a bright person..
Of course you did, you tried to convince everyone and most of all yourself. You’re still doing that.
You re yet to add *anything* worthwhile. Esp on the topic of Halo.
You’re yet to tell me how casual players in adverts make a game irrelevant for someone who’s a casual player in denial.
I pointed out how little you know, and how much of a failure you are in regards to Halo. Now you say I failed at that.
Alzheimers you say? I think you’re so full of shit even Alzheimer doesn’t come close.
Really, you tell a person that 2 plus 2 equals 4 and not 5, and he tells you how you’re wrong for trying to point out person’s lack of math education and proceeds to say you failed.
Funny, just not in a good way.
Fool.

Da Man work your shit out seriously. Did I bring pro’s up in my observation of hands on impression of Halo 4? No. I brought up the hands on impressions of Halo 4 that looked bland and un appealing to me. Think it over ok.
Also, I came to a page to hear impressions of a game I may ACTUALLY play. Hence why I asked uestions on the game in the article. Don’t fucking tell me what I will and will not play when you don’t know what I own/play/purchase/or will purchase.
Again showing that impressive psychic ability to read into Lexph3re’s personally life. Good on you!
If you guys can’t seem to realize what I was talking about before hand earlier in the conversation quite trying to derail what i’m saying to fit your worthless agenda for undermining my knowledge of a game.
“Really, you tell a person that 2 plus 2 equals 4 and not 5, and he tells you how you’re wrong for trying to point out person’s lack of math education and proceeds to say you failed.
Funny, just not in a good way.”
Really? This is your rebuttal? You can’t even comprehend the shit YOU say.
Lastly, saying again how I play is in tune with my observation of regular players playstyle? Fail. I don’t intend to play Halo 4 competitively as I did the previous versions. I don’t intend to buy the game to play with hardcores. I don’t give a shit about the game anymore and have expressed that thoroughly!
So if you are still trying to derail me to try and make me contradict myself(much like you have been doing to your own statement about me) You will continue to fail.
So how about this one for you. The next post you post will do it’s best to mock/ridicule/ and undermine everything I have said again. You will repeat this same mistake as you have been. Then you will find another poster you think is agreeing with you and go on to think you aced me. Instead what I am going to do is not bother to respond to this anymore. Allowing you to continue this thread until you get someone else to feed you masterbation session that you have everytime you try and rile up others.
So proceed to do as I say and have fun with the rest of your day. Laters

Best to just ignore him Lex. His biggest reason and greatest joy in visiting here, Lex, is to make you or anyone else he can do exactly what you did. Not much you can do save for not commenting or visiting.
I agree Manu, about the number alts anyways. Most of the time I know who is who, sometimes it takes me a bit. I don’t agree it is fun or funny. I think it hurts the integrety of the site. It drives away readers/posters. After we got got rid of a couple of bad trolls a bit back, the site has now reached new milestones and set new records for unique visits. those things are closly linked.

You come across as some support employee trying to convince me I should buy something from them.
Really full of it, aren’t you? You said H4 will be irrelevant because the adverts depict ‘same old playstyle’. I then noted how this playstyle is very out of place. And how you should educate yourself with the formula. To which you replied how you had tournaments and stuff.. Which is 99 percent a bullshit.
You never actually played Halo. You never played it competitively. And you say the new one is irrelevant. Now ATTN: who gives a shit? I do, just to make you look like a moron (well, even more of a one).
I comprehend the shit very well. Please do tell me something which disproves my comment on close combat. It’s too bad you don’t know where to begin.
You lie to the internet, trying to convince yourself you don’t care for an Xbox videogame. It’s as simple as that.

2.-Microsoft a greenish planet, they like war on first person and third person view, a very violent species, approach with care.
3.-Nintendo, a very old civilization, but is mostly run by young people, it never gets old, we must study their DNA is magic, or so they say

I am a fan of Halo but I see pro players jumping around like rabid monkeys all the time (well during firefights at least), it’s both annoying but works too. If they’re a good enough shot, they can jump around making it harder for you to shoot while they can (likely) shoot you just as easily as ever. The only ways I really beat guys like that was stealth. Crouch is a godsend for taking those hopping bastards down a peg. I both enjoy & resent Halo’s ridiculous jumping.
