first off max halo reach is before halo ce so . . . its a preeuql not halo 4, odst was not supposed to be a real game just a dlc pack and a mini campaign which is why its so short, besides what can you get from mc and cortana floating toward a planet (onxy in some peoples minds . . . look it up) he

I see you are confused Jo, Halo 4 is not part of the Halo franchise.
It is a different game with some similarities, a much inferior game.
The halo franchise ended a while ago.

Case in point: Go to TV tropes, and look up Trope Codifiers, Trope NAMERS, Trope Makers, ect. There may, or may not, be differences between who did it first, who did it best, and who was *most* known for doing it.

"Decades" old?
You may be confusing "watch it for the plot" with "READ it for the ARTICLES". And certianly, I haven't heard about boobs being described as "articles" anytime, ever, in the decades that Playboy has been around. It prolly is, since it's a matter of when it has become POPULAR.

Halo 4 was actually really good, in terms to the plot (The actual one, not Cortana's ass.)
Only once before have I ever actually felt anything during a Halo story and that was when they killed Johnson. But in Halo 4, I was horrified, depressed, mystified, and angry too. 343 did a good job.

[url=#user_comment_208269]@DracMonster[/url] I know. Halo's biggest flaw is the gameplay. How can you run around in a super strong suit with only 2 weapons? I could realistically strap 6 small and 2 large weapons to myself and still hold a 9th. With the super strength,I wouldn't even be slowed down by the weight.

In reference to the artist's note, that's exactly what I did. The Halo universe got me hooked with the novels when I was a kid years ago. Kinda pissed it's not coming to PC.

I'm a bit baffled that people are assuming that MLP coined the term, when they used the term because it <i>already</i> existed in the context it was used in. <i>Hence why it was used</i>.
Liking MLP is fine, but this is like thinking Twilight created vampires and werewolves.

I simply cannot believe that people automatically assume its a pony reference rather than a reference to the phrase "I watch it for the plot" which is DECADES old.
[url=#user_comment_208669]@Anon[/url]: I'd say it's more likely based after the older joke about watching porn for the plot.

Plot is a brony term, right? I mean, we already saw the pony comics, but still, branching the term into other things? Unless I'm mistaken in its origins, that is.

People do recall that "I'm watching it for the plot" Is older than bronies and MLP FIM, right?
It was used for animes with a lot of fanservice, usually to mock those who DID say that phrase seriously about such animes, and yeah then it got used in video games, movies and cartoons (MLP included).

there is an option to use keyboard/mouse with an xbox 360. you just need an emulator to plug in between the 2 and the 360. stuff like this xim3 http://xim3.com/shop should fit the bill. It's not perfect but ti's better ofr players like myself. No i don't have one (haven't been able to afford one)

Both Mass Effect and Halo series involve nebulous threats to all sentient life in the galaxy, both involve a certain degree of space magic, and both are linear shooters.
But Halo came out first (points for originality), has less clipping issues and doesn't have Starbrat. So Halo is better.
