What's wrong with disability? Doesn't impact her character at all, other than she being mad at losing that arm. Maybe.
BTW, UNSC could've treated it, the Elites probably chopped it off because they don't know human physiology enough to mend it, not to mention them detesting surgery.

To specify, Its the duration of her current disability and how 343 did it to leave Season 1 with a now supposedly vengeful main character such as Catherine with one arm. Now if they gave her a prosthetic to end Season 1 then perhaps my opinions might change about the Epilogue. Maybe you're right and/or wrong theoretically. Just have to wait and see how 343 plans to further involve Halsey in such a condition it could potential impact her as a character overall.

I still remember people bitching that the grenades had trails in Reach

I think it was more of people wanting a smoke trail rather than some dumb orange tail. It just looked weird. At least that was my complaint.

I'd kind of love to see what Halsey would do to construct her own arm without the support of the UNSC. Could she even do it with whatever tools the Elites could actually provide? We know she's a genius but there's only so much you can do with crud (alien) tech. And one arm.

As to "EVIL HALSEY" I think Brian Reed's comments pretty much make it clear they meant it to be ambiguous. I think Spartan Ops as a whole made her pretty sympathetic. I really hope all this careful layering leads to some housecleaning of the spooks though. Humanity needs to get its act together.

Also: Mark V forever. It is known.

I will agree that the plasma grenade blast radius is maybe the weakest of any Halo game. They had to nerf it I guess since it's in the loadouts, kinda lame.

But seriously though, you have plenty of posts, maybe too many so soon lol. Now you just have to wait a little, maybe a month or so to become a Member, although it took FyreWulff like a year to become a Member and he had tons of posts. Might have something to do with accruing all or most of your posts in Community threads, opposed to Gaming or Off-Topic general threads. Not sure though, just be patient and dont do anything stupid.

So I jumped into the Extraction playlist. Is JIP that bad for everybody?
Also, suddenly Pulse grenades are surprisingly OP. I already have 9 kills with it between two games. Avatar adjusted accordingly.

I believe you had to average 40 posts per day, hit 3000 posts within 90 days of activation, and be top poster in HaloGAF. You almost did it.

Damn it!

I like HaloGAF. Posts range from funny and silly, to serious and thought provoking.

Kinda like the whole site.

I don't remember seeing it mentioned, they added a kind of electricity damagey thing in grifball to stand in for the explosion. It's an improvement.

The goals in Grifball are Hill Markers (the Capture Plates are inactive) to keep the goal waypoint out of your FoV. Halo 4 Hill Markers have an animation like they are burning up in a small column of fire when they move or deactivate. Standing within this effect can strip away half of your shields.

There is a mini game in my file share called Throwin' Stones, played on a map called Glass House. It's an Action Sack style KotH game where you take turns throwing stones (Rockets) at each other. If you stand under the Hill Marker when the hills switch sides your shields will be stripped and you will feel a small explosion like you would in Grifball.

I had no idea. Still lame they have to shoehorn that in instead of having an actual explosion.
