I'm with Uttermadness on that....let's change subjects....
Ii need to know if there are any Californians on ARD ?? I'm being sent from the 23rd to February 5th to California, a place called newark or something like that....
So if any of you lives near there let me know please!!
Z quit it i hate qoute bashing, But he is right if Halo was realsed on the fps platform first (PC) it would of been a flop, the graphics of the hi res pack halflife one are better, the game plays is smoother etc.
The only game that Halo can realy compare to is goldeneye/perfect dark, and to be frank its doesnt, goldeneye/PD added more the genre than what Halo has the only notible thing about halo is the vechile use which PD had as well. Its a popular game for one reason, its the only FPS that doesnt suck on the x box.[/rant]
by slow as hell without 8 players, i think he means you have to spend 30-60 seconds looking for somebody in multiplayer, ive had this happen when we were linked at my friends house when the third x box was added to the mix it became a bit better, aprt form when we crashed one x box when we were having a 1 player rocket war)
Doom 3 is coming out for X-Box in March. I imagine Halo fanboys won't like it since it's speed would pick up, and it takes some intelligence and strategic planning due to the nature of Doom 3 DM, but it should be pretty good. I believe they're going to add a double-barrel shotgun, and they haven't decided but the might add the Grabber (technically a Gravity Gun), that will both appear in the expansion, Resurrection of Evil. I checked and it looks like both the expansion pack and X-Box version are due out at the same time, so there may be hope the expansion is included, which would allow 8 people for multiplayer. There's like 4 different modes of DM, and I know they said they're adding Capture the Flag. Should be awesome. The awesome thing is that Gamespot previewed the X-Box version and said aside from a smaller resolution than the PC's, there's almost no comparison to be made between the PC and Console version.
Anyway if they would have put Quake 3 Arena in X-Box, Halo would have rolled over and died. Perfect speed, weapon balance, and maps. I had it for Dreamcast and then got it on my PC so I could make maps for it, and even on the Dreamcast it completely rocked. There are those who say Q3A takes less skill to play than Halo, but they're pretty wrong. Halo is so slow half the time you have to screen-peek to avoid people. When you can't run out of the way of a Rocket unless it's shot from a mile away, it's pitiful. I love the fast paced action in Quake 3, it takes skill to learn to react that fast, and also beable to fire correctly at that speed. The eye/hand coordination is just great. Oh yeah, and you can have only two people and because the maps the right size for the speed of the game, it's actually fun. You have to know the maps and what's where so you don't jump-escape and crater somewhere from a far fall. Oh yeah and you can jump higher than a hippo, which is a plus. Hell, the Doom 2 deathmatch is even funner than Halo.
Halo is good. It is, okay? It has perfect-feeling physics and stuff. I think Halo 2 was worse, though ... no playing on XBOX Live for me, that's probably the reason.
You know what else is good? Timesplitters 2. Once Timesplitters 3: Future Perfect comes out, I have no doubt it will rule all. The mapmaker of that game on a console is incredible ...
And Xenphire, you wouldn't believe how many times I've killed people with a Warthog. I killed a Ghost with a Warthog once.
"I'll bash you! I'll bash you good!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
For decks ... reanomator is actually good, I'm making Dampen Thought right now, and ... yeah, that's it. Dampen Thought is cool. Turn 4 upkeep: Ethereal Haze, splice Psychic Puppetry (land/vial) and Dampen Thought(now you're closer to winning!) Eheh. That deck is such jank.

Hmm, IMHO, it doesn't do it for me. It just looks like some bad cross between Monowhite Aggro, and Monowhite Control. If you want my vote, the best way is through an effective combo deck, though you only need 3/5 of the councel's vote...

Well what do you know!!....seems like I may be taking my binder and my decks afterwards on this trip!!!!

EDIT: This guy: T3H PH4YT3 5P!NN3R officially has resigned his attempt to join this clan, by creating a new clan himself with the aid of..humm... Satan, hence the voting upon him is close. You can't be in 2 clans at the sametime so he is...err... Terminated
I guess back then the zubera deck didn't cause much of a stirr... we have decided to leave our clan at a cap of 20 (Well...Wolfwood's vote is missing, but so far 20 has 2 votes, 30 has 1 and 25 has 1 :feedback: )...rigth now we are 17 members (including 5 council members)...if you still wanna join, we'll consider your application, but please submit a new deck.... but surprise us with something creative (Even though your last deck wasn't too bad )
Due to the near-the-cap ammount of members, our council is being very demanding on new joiners....hence, you need to get creative to get our vote!!
Back on the Halo/first person shooter/other gaming thing. I don't have an X-box, Gamecube or PS2. I have a Super Nintendo and a Gamboy Advance SP, that's it. Literally all of my friends have an x-box, and a few of them have a PS2. I want an X-Box or PS2 (PS2 more for thw style of games that I play more of), but I have to get it myself. As for the game Halo, originally I never really liked the game at all. I thought it was crap to begin with. Soon I started to warm up to it and now I like it, but still, it isn't the game that I like the most, I like real time strategy games like Comand and Conquer and Roller Coaster Tycoon. I also like RPGs such as FF Tactics Advance and Pokemon (the game, not the show). Any one else out there like these kinds too?
I love all kinds of games, minus sports. RPGs, Racing, Strategy, FPS, Fighters. Gaming is a huge part of who I am. Thats why I can't understand why people settle for such a crappy FPS as Halo. Its really annoying because there's way more bad things about it than there are good things, people just fell in love with it because it was the platform release for the X-Box. It's like wake up people. Man, Halo is so slow. I mean, granny was slow, but she was old. FPS games should be fast paces unless they're meant to be srategic, then its understandable. Halo isn't fast paced, and its really slow and there's definitely nothing srategic about it. Meh, I'm done with this. Let me know when you all want to talk about a real game
Oh yes, my new card. Well, I thought I'd post the two and have everyone compare them. I know that Qwerty likes the version that costs :5mana::symb: more already. Either way I'll probably use the new art on whichever one.
Well, since opinions are free, and there is freedom of speech, I'd have to go for the old one.
The one that's worth 5B.... the other one seems a bit broken, the abilities are too cheap, and a Huge flyer (5/6) for 3BBB with such abilities?? too much....
As for the arts....I reallly liked the old Art, the new one looks too much like Edward Siscorhands!!!!!
I guess back then the zubera deck didn't cause much of a stirr... we have decided to leave our clan at a cap of 20
...please submit a new deck.... but surprise us with something creative (Even though your last deck wasn't too bad )
... you need to get creative to get our vote!!
Here goes... the GW deck was what I ran at T2 games prior to the BR (not my "zub" deck... thats coming)
SB: 4 Naturalize
SB: 4 Oxidize
SB: 4 Tel-Jilad Justice
SB: 2 Sacred Ground
SB: 1 Eternal Witness
4 Island
9 Plains
9 Forest
4 Solemn Simulacrum
4 Wayfarer's Bauble
3 Sensei's Divining Top
4 Kodama's Reach
3 Eternal Witness
4 Sakura-Tribe Elder
2 Rude Awakening
3 Oblivion Stone
3 Reciprocate
4 Wrath of God
4 Peer Through Depths
This did fairly well, though game 1 vs affinity was brutal to win. The Peers were invaluable to set up "the next turn" and was easy to get the blue req. Played with SB variations to include things like Ivory Mask etc.
This is my "zubera" deck (spirit/splice)... its for casual and I know it wouldn't stand up to a serious deck. It provides good fun though and Reweave is just too funny as a blue "point-n-click" for any perm:
7 Island
5 Swamp
8 Forest
1 Devouring Greed
2 Sensei's Divining Top
1 Wear Away
4 Reach Through Mists
2 Soulless Revival
1 Reweave
4 Kodama's Reach
4 Consuming Vortex
3 Sire of the Storm
2 Teller of Tales
4 Floating-Dream Zubera
4 Dripping-Tongue Zubera
4 Thief of Hope
4 Solemn Simulacrum
I also have a set of emporer decks... just not on this puter 8( I can post more tomorrow if you like.
Most other decks don't feel "unique" enough... especially the more I read threads around here.
If I needs to give away more tech (LAF, ya right) any specific formats?
