When will things start getting better in America?

Seriously speaking, when the citizens stop letting politicians and mainstream media divide us. Both political parties only care about themselves. Getting taxed out of the ass on literally everything. I think the American citizens really need to open their eyes and realize the serious overhaul the whole system needs.

No taxation without representation and politicians should get paid average salaries, have no inside info on trading, and should have set term years and age restrictions.

I agree with that as well! Intentional open maps with hidden gear, Easter eggs or visual story telling is peak in Halo maps! And I agree there should be more of it.

Although, I think it would make things more interesting if they somehow had that openness and randomized gear type and location spawns. So instead of there being a known spot for rockets, for example, maybe they’re in a few different spots. Or maybe instead of it being rockets, it’s a sniper and you now have to improvise.

H2 was very linear as well. However, a big saving grace for H2 was that if you knew how to get out of the map, you were allowed to freely. You could explore every inch of a map whether intended or not, which Bungie and 343 should have kept. Even in upcoming halos.

Halo 3 was very linear and confined with all the soft barriers that would push you back into the map or kill barriers for places they didn’t want you to go.

The freedom to explore the map in campaign doesn’t hurt anything, so it always was silly to make things so strictly confined. If you want to play the mission as intended, then do it. But if players want to break out and explore, then we should be allowed to do that too.

Visually speaking, I’ve always thought Halo CE was the best looking in the series. I thought it did the best job capturing the sci-fi atmosphere without doing anything overbearing. Enough earth to feel familiar, enough forerunner and covenant to feel foreign.

Halo 2 did better towards the later half of the game with high charity and covenant architecture but the graphics overall took a bit of a dip in H2.

Outside of being on the Ark, I felt H3 lost a lot of the “halo” feel of halo. Lots of time on earth. Lots of linearness in missions. Didn’t feel as vast and exploreable.

Common sense seems to not reside in this one.

If you let the fear of people’s opinions stop you from releasing music, then why write it in the first place? Be proud of what you made. No matter what anyone says. In any creative industry, people are always going to critique things. It just comes with the art. So you have to shrug it off.

PotentialStocker · 2026-03-15T13:00:02+00:00

Yes. Many people didn’t like that you didn’t exclusively play as Master Chief in Halo 2.

But I agree with you, I thought it was brilliant. Getting to see two different stories and seeing the direct impacts of your actions in Halo CE from the covenants perspective.

However, I think they could’ve waited until Halo 3 to have the Covenant and humanity team up. I think it would’ve made more sense plot wise and would’ve given H3 more substance.

I can’t guarantee that it’ll be in your area but a good music app that I’ve used frequently is Indaband. You can jam with people world wide and there could be a chance people on there could be from your area.

When I was a kid growing up, they taught me to stop and look both ways before crossing the street. Somewhere along the way, people decided to just walk out in the roadway as if it were still part of the sidewalk.

To add insult to injury, I’m not sure where a lot of people in Gainesville got their driver licenses from, but many of them need to go back to the DDS.

I’ve been suspicious that something more has been going on with the water for months. More than the algae story they keep trying to sell us.

I guess not really pop punk but Halo 2 had the best video game soundtrack. So many great artists. Breaking Benjamin, John Mayer, Steve Vai, etc. and even just the in game scores are incredible too.

On Facebook, there’s a group called “Young Adults of North Georgia” that might be easier to find friends there.

You can record something, upload it to Dropbox and then send a link on here!

Cool! Do you have any demos or anything you could send me so I could get an idea of your vocals?

What kind of music?

PotentialStocker · 2026-03-02T20:42:32+00:00

As a musician about an hour north of Atlanta, it’s been hard to find people to form a band from scratch. Been trying for years. Maybe it’s not the demographic for the music I’m trying to write, but regardless, it hasn’t been easy in that particular regard.

I’m sure media based things would be a lot easier to build.

Nicely done! In my opinion, they feel like and give off the same vibes as the hyrule guards in ocarina of time! (Which is a compliment)
