[quote]I thought the rings fired near instantly.[/quote]Look at the end of Halo 2 and Halo 3. Takes quite a while for rings to reach a point where they can fire. [quote]Shame, i d like to see Blue team in a Halo game[/quote]I said I think they'll be in Halo 5. Fred-104's armor is even in Halo 5. [quote]They pushed Halsey from morally gray to evil character, they keep giving the character bad luck for seemingly no good reason, and trying to make us hate her, (kilo five trilogy - literally Hitler, Spartan ops - unliked by our "heroes", forced to switch sides for survival but painted as a traitor.)[/quote]This is not 343i saying those things. Those are being said by characters within the universe. Of course, if you want to subscribe to the notion that Halo's characters represent 343i's views on the universe, be my guest. [quote]Sarah Palmer is forced down our throats as being the new "cool" character. They even made a whole game (spartan assault) that was a big Palmer ego stoke. The way Palmer acts makes her seem like the Sergeant Johnson wannabe.[/quote]I'm not even going to bother addressing this. It's quite clear you've made up your mind on Palmer. Nothing I say will change your hatred of her.
