    Default The Chat Thread (Read OP)

    Remember, this is for conversations, not spam. Here are the rules we've agreed on for this thread:

    Rules 1. All ToS rules apply and will be strictly enforced.
    2. No posts consisting solely of images or smileys.
    3. No double posts.
    4. No image macros.
    5. Posts must have a clear point: this is a chat and conversation thread, not a spam thread.
    6. Posts must be pertinent: avoid random interjections that detract from an existing conversation.
    7. No 'King of Thema Devia' roleplay is allowed.
    8. No abuse of the tag system is allowed.


    Failure to follow these rules may result in a Thema Devia forumban, or if en masse, the closure of this thread.

    Påsan's rules: I'm tackling the moderation in the Thema Devia now, and I will shape the threads to my vision to ensure that the flow and stability of any thread herein remains at an acceptable level. this goes for all the threads in this forum, but most explicitly on the stickyed threads. If there is a problem with my moderation policies, the moderation commentary or Curia would be the correct fora to voice your concerns. Not here.

    As long as I am moderator in the Thema Devia, linking to 4chan or any image board with similar lenient attitude to porn or other grotesque content will not be accepted under any circumstances whatsoever..






    Pann's Rules
    1. No massive animated gifs. Anything bigger than sig level is definitely out, but I may cut a few that are under 250 KB as well, depending on my mood.
    2. When I start deleting, I may delete liberally. If your post is one of those culled, if you want it back, the onus is on you to convince me that your post is of value, not on me to convince you that your post should be deleted.
    3. Any e-bullying will be cracked down on with great severity. This is the part of the ToS that I feel strongest about, so I'll go by the book, and it's up to the Tribunal to tone it down if they see fit.
    If you want to discuss anything about these, then please address it the moderation commentary thread.



    Additional rules or regulations may be implemented at the discretion of Moderation Staff.

    Ok: Have fun.


    I'll shamelessly copy this from Poosan's OP. I'll continue moderating much in the same way as my predecessors so don't do anything crazy.
    Now, go talk about bread or something...

    Well i would point out that rabbits cant survive in the sea. Nor can they survive without air. The sea contains nutrients, air does not. Hence sea is better than air, and fishes better than rabbits.

    Hmm, those are some incredibly vague things. If that's the case we might as well say that every FPS that came after Half-Life are just copies, though in actual fact it's a general process anywhere that good products will permanently affect their market. It's where terms like "groundbreaking" or "revolutionary" come from.
    That because I find very hard to put that deja vu feeling I got while playing Halo 1 and Red Faction into words. I'm not saying that we should label all games after that as copies but you can't deny that those two share a lot of the source material.


    Including the laser-based Covenant weapons which form half the game's arsenal?
    Even the human ones feel about as different as simple weapons like pistols, shotguns and assault rifles can.
    H: had laser weapons too but that's not the point. I'm not talking about the shape of the weapon or even the graphical effects but how it feels when compared to HL and other games. If you look at all other fps games of the time the key words were more dakka, aiming, ammo conservation and choosing the right gun for the task were practically irrelevant. Not so with Half Life and Halo.


    How so? Half-life was mostly an underground adventure, in which you would have fights interspersed with puzzles and things like the monorail, in which you had to go from A to B, then B to A, then A to C, then back, and so-on in order to get through barriers. Halo really didn't focus on puzzles and the tunnel bits were a lot more linear (though concretely more open to the player), with bigger set-piece fights and also the large open portions which completely changed the way you played it, including the frantic rush of some scenes. Also, the gameplay against both Covenant and Flood was totally different to that of HL, which in its own way also affected the pacing of the game.
    Look at the speed of the character in both games, the possible pattern of movement and how the accent is on taking as little damage as possible and deliberate (sometimes slow) progression as opposed to the hyper "finish the level as fast as humanly possible" "rush in guns blazing" style of Quake, Duke Nukem or Unreal.

    Not sure what you mean by this. Halo had characters, frequent dialogue in the game which isn't simply other people telling you how to go forward, cinematic cutscenes and drama, which Half-Life didn't.
    Actually HL did have all those things, except for the cutscenes (which weren't that big of a deal in Halo either - you could go whole levels without one of the appearing)


    Nah, really not. In HL the enemies tend to either attack and keep on rushing after you if you retreat, or they stay put forever. In Halo, they'll take cover when they're weak, flee when the fight turns against them/if their shields are low, use grenades, make more flexible use of turrets, try to flank you, pin you down, etc.
    The aliens yes. The human soldiers would actually hide behind crates, take you out of cover with greandes or lay rudimentary ambushes.

    ​Actually, every Halo level had an opening and a closing cutscene.
