lol, I love faggots that whine about "kill stealing."
So you walk into your teammate having a little battle with the enemy. Do you stand there and look stupid or shoot at the enemy?
Shoot the enemy and some little bitch cries that you stole his kill. He hardly gets any kills and the final kill spread is his only means of conveyance. Don't shoot the enemy and the same little bitch cries that you let him die. "Kill stealing" happens on every FPS so I don't see what the big deal is. Quit being a whiny bitch.
Rocket launchers? They have 2 rounds before you spend a minute reloading, leaving you wide open for dying or forcing you to switch to something else. If you can't dodge them, you suck. A well-placed 'nade and round to the head is enough to stop any rocket-launcher wielding fool. You're right, it's a noob weapon, and you fail if you lose to one.
Tell me what's different about all these COD/BF/MOH games? Abso-fucking-lutely nothing. Don't get me wrong, I like them all, and have them all, but there has been no revolutionary feature. It's all the same shit, set in slightly different time periods, with a tweak here and there.
That's not powering up
It's an additional "strategy" where you can not get hit/killed but at the same time you're stationary. If you're lucky or have a good team a teammate will finish the enemy off, otherwise when you're mobile again you're most likely going to die. In case you missed it, it's a sci-fi game and thus there will be some unrealistic stuff. It adds another dimension to strategy, much like calling an air strike or whatever on whatever game you play.
I know Halo hate is cool and all (I was expecting these replies), fanboys are pretty homo, sir. Someone whining about how [insert game here] is the best game evar (!!!) and how [insert game here] sucks ass is an annoying bitch, no matter what game they're talking about. If you don't like it, good, this thread isn't for you. Just as many people have bought Halo games over the years as people have COD (despite it being "the same thing" over and fucking over), if not more. It sure does have a lot of people buying it and giving good reviews for such a shitty game. Must be a conspiracy?
ODST -- never played it although I have it. All the reviewers have pretty much agreed ODST wasn't that great, and Halo Reach is the best Halo so far...
Finally watched a firefight video. Looks fun.
Overhyped? Yes. Good? Yes.
