Just something I made in about five minutes. It's all the main characters from Halo 3: ODST. I know some of them are a little hard to tell apart; but it's all about the color on their chestplate and the details on their helmets. From left to right, we have The Rookie (the main character), Dutch (the heavy weapons specialist), Mickey (the explosives specialist), Dare (the ONI agent and Captain), Buck (the ex-leader of the squad, before Dare took over), and Romeo (the specialist/sniper). Whaddaya think?
I'll try to be more active from now on. Everything else on this page is Team Fortress 2-related, so you don't have to read that if you don't want to. But the picture's down there.
So, apparently Valve finally cracked down on people who were using external programs to manipulate the item system in Team Fortress 2. Anyone who was caught had all their items (hats for the first offense, everything after that) taken away, and those who "took the moral high road" were awarded with a nice halo hat. Needless to say, people who used idling software are pissed off. Picture of that here. And for some reason, the people with halos are the people that are hated... so let's get that one straight. People who manipulated the game software (in other words, cheating) are angry at the people that didn't. And they don't realize how lucky they are. Valve could have banned them or took other, worse actions against them. Anyway, back to the halo hate. A couple of my friends from Halolz had been talking about it, and they'd entered some servers where people with halos would be ignored by Medics, shot first by enemies, constantly pestered by teammates, and even team-killed if friendly fire was on. Some hackers even made a mod that replaces a halo with a giant, lit-up sign that says... well, GS will censor it if I say it, but there's a picture of it here. Some are, at the moment, making a mod that changes the halo into a huge penis (I WON'T be linking a picture of that one). Seriously. You cheated, you were caught, deal with it. In the immortal words of the Heavy; "YOU! BABY! CRY SOME MORE!"

@LuigiRulze - Same here...
@mastersword007 - What was so bad about the Halo 3 campaign?
@SethSOMT - Heh... no, I missed that one... but I did see the Penny Arcade one.
The game was boring. Story was bland, events were uninteresting, enemies were weak, bosses were worse, soundtrack was recycled or plain mediocre, on-foot parts were unbelievably dull, they failed at making the characters interesting and make me care for them, environment is nothing special anymore, voice acting is merely normal and the game was simply nothing special.
The only good thing about the SP was playing with 3 other friends.
Halo: CE was fun. It was a good game. Halo 3 is one extremely overrated game, with its only good quality being the above average multiplayer.
I find it hilarious when I see people claiming that Halo characters are deep. The novel itself may be nice to read, but the in-game only story is abysmal.
Story? Bland? Well, maybe a little. But after 28 years of war, of course things would wind down. There's quite a lot going on, if you take the time to look.
Now, the soundtrack was amazing. 20-something songs of awesomeness. You only heard a couple outside of cutscenes, though, so if you skipped those, you miss out. I mean, it's no Brawl, Ace Attorney, or Grandia II, but it still has amazing music.
Weak enemies don't exist on Heroic/Legendary. And Bosses? There aren't any bosses.
The Chief himself is just a bland character, even in the books. All the other SPARTANs are 1000x more interesting. ODST, however, gives you some nice, well-explained characters.
I'm sick of waiting for good voice acting in games. At the most, I just wish that, whenever I get a new game, the voice acting doesn't suck. And Halo 3 pulls through there.
Anyway, Campaign was still fun, and didn't overstay its welcome. Playing Co-op just made it better.
Never played CE due to my PC being awful, but I did see some fun hacks.
But the main reason I'm buying ODST is for Firefight. Pure, mindless fun.
Soundtrack was bull. Seriously, I don't know what you find amazing about those.
Some are great, but most are just plain mediocre. Weak enemies do exist in Heroic/Legendary. They may not be weak, but they're not a big challenge either. Also, yeah there weren't any direct bosses, but some were put into that light more than others. That's a pretty sweet mod
