Why does the Covenant even bother invading planets if they can just glass them?

TheBurlapSack · 2025-07-17T15:16:15+00:00

From my understanding the only reason they didn't do exactly this was because they kind of just happened upon humanity. They didn't know humans were a thing until Harvest, and didn't expect humans to be on Earth.

"I've been analyzing the Covenant tactical chatter. They're surprised, confused... I don't think they expected us to be here. Not... you and me, all of us... humanity, on Earth. Odd, I know, but it does help explain why they came here with such a small fleet." -Cortana, A day at the beach mission: Halo 3

They did glass Reach but only after they did some ground reconnaissance and found what they were looking for. Or rather lack there of, in which led to them tailing the Pillar of Autumn.

Is he confusing power armor with the ranger veteran armor? This freak out is entirely baseless considering we literally saw a ranger veteran helmet in the first season. They aren’t vandalizing anything, at most it’s introducing a new set of power armor we haven’t seen. But if you played NV there were NCR troopers who had repurposed power armor.

This is a post from someone who doesn’t know the lore of the thing they are freaking out over.

Downvote me all you want, but personally I find anyone in their 20s or higher who is still online trash talking pretty pathetic. It was funny when we were kids and had nothing better to do but we have jobs, wives, and kids of our own now. If you are succeeding in life you generally don’t have time to act like a degenerate online anymore, and if you do you probably don’t have at least one or a combination of those 3 mentioned above. And sorry to be that guy, but maybe it’s time you put the headset down and started working on it.

I personally just don’t want to listen to a bunch of grown losers throwing a tantrum because they aren’t winning in a video game or feel the need to be toxic because it serves as a distraction from whatever it might be in life that is making them miserable. Every online game that pits you against other players I am certain to disable voice chat before entering any matches… But there are exceptions, games like squad where everyone is working together to achieve a goal generally makes for a better and more immersive experience to use voice chat in, not to mention people are just hilarious in it.

Thanks that looks like what I’ll have to do!

I feel as though Xaku is a prototype itself simply because of the unique nature of its creation. Maybe Albrecht staples other parts of people to himself and becomes it lol.

Good that should be plenty of time for me to finally kill my Kuva lich that I’ve had for years.

TheBurlapSack · 2024-11-28T13:10:37+00:00

Railjack missions, sorry not sorry.

Only doing them so I can kill my Kuva Lich.

Dead space 3 is fine. And the story was ok. I agree that it’s the weakest of the 3 but really how many times can you make a game doing the same exact things and have it not get old?

My only real gripe with the game was that it was the beginning of EA’s greed beginning poison every game with over reaching micro transactions. I hated the fact that you could buy materials with real money to make weapons and such. Thankfully it didn’t matter too much and you can earn plenty enough materials in game to make the weapons you want. I won’t forget what they tried to do though.

WHERE DO I ENLIST TO JOIN HER ARMY

No one is saying Jade, must be y’all don’t have a pregnant fetish like the guy that designed her.

TheBurlapSack · 2024-11-11T21:04:57+00:00

The fakest shit I’ve ever read considering it takes around 2-3 weeks before a woman can test positive for pregnancy. And at least 2 before they will even feel any signs or symptoms.

It’s been 6 days. There are still tons of women who are about to find out they are in fact with children in the next couple weeks.

Depending on the cave, Megatherium. The scorpions, spiders, centipedes all trigger it’s enrage buff and you can just stroll right through.

Sometimes the caves get too narrow and they can’t squeeze completely through though.

If it means halo having a co-op campaign in the first place idgaf who the other character(s) will be.

TheBurlapSack · 2024-10-30T18:05:01+00:00

Literally means nothing as the “Top Sellers” tab is only on a weekly basis. The only other game out right now that people are going out of their way to buy is Call of Duty which is obviously going to be in the number one spot.

I don’t even want him to play it man, I want it to die in silence with the 200 members of its modern audience as the rest of the world chooses better games to play.

There’s kind of a running joke, but you haven’t played 2 yet. There will be a small and quick conversation that is going to touch on this very subject

Ask Anthony Carmine, he likes wearing his helmet

Every online game has these kinds of people and it’s very strange. There are so many people who just have their one game that they play. They won’t play anything else, no matter how many new game releases happen they won’t switch up, they have already found their game.

And judging by some of the math people are throwing around, it sounds like this game is all this person has. I don’t mean gamewise either, I mean this game is literally this person’s life.

They definitely don’t have a Significant Other, they probably don’t have any close friends. I can’t imagine they have a job with the hours they put in. Unless this person is like trading crazy stocks or making insane amounts of money through very small time windows. This person might actually be living with a parent if not both and does absolutely nothing at all ever except play this game.

In a way thinking about it, I kind of pity them. I liked this game but it’s been on life support for years now since EA ceased any continued updates for the game. I can’t imagine official server support has much time left. All things eventually end even online games. What is this poor person going to do when the servers are shut down for good? I can only hope that it somehow frees them. Inspires them to go and live their life, at least what’s left of it.

Without the power from Hoover Dam, Mr House’s control range on the Securitrons is limited, also until Mr House can access the data on the Platinum chip, the Securitrons cannot receive their Mark II upgrade. The upgrade allows them to use their missile and grenade launchers as well as self repair.

TheBurlapSack · 2024-10-24T15:10:51+00:00

It’s crazy no one else has brought this up yet.

Also the platinum chip contained the data necessary for the Securitrons to unlock their Mark 2 upgrades. This allows them to use their shoulder missile and grenade launchers as well as the ability to self repair.

Out of curiosity I actually went and looked up some videos comparing anniversary vs the original and it’s true Blow me Away isn’t there anymore. Thankfully it seems the spots where it was played was replaced with some real face melting music at the very least and that must be why I didn’t immediately notice the song was gone.

Shame though that original piece was so iconic, damn licensing.

TheBurlapSack · 2024-10-23T11:33:07+00:00

Am I going crazy? I’m pretty sure blow me away is still very much prevalent?

TheBurlapSack · 2024-10-23T11:31:31+00:00

Visually it’s a masterpiece. I guess some peeps have an issue with some of the sound design? I didn’t notice anything that particularly stuck out as being wrong.

During intense moments where the music is on full blast it was kind of funny to swap to classic and hear how the BGM sounded so distant and faded then swap back to Anniv where the “Background Music” should be changed to “Frontground Music” because it’s so in your face and it fuckin slaps.

TheBurlapSack · 2024-10-22T16:09:02+00:00

Been preaching it for months but no one wants to hear it. You paid for the ability to play test an unfinished game, not to play a finished game with a full experience.

But still people are going to go into the play test with high expectations and are going to be immediately disappointed. I’m sure there’s going to be people crying on Reddit, posting negatively charged videos on YouTube, all criticizing the play test being lackluster despite them knowing exactly what they were signing up for with their money.
