1) Of course they require different muscles, I'm attempting to make a point that his strength is more than enough to jump. He's not going to have a huge muscular upperbody with no muscles in his legs because then he wouldn't be able to walk at all. The guns aren't balanced in Halo, ask any experianced player and they'll tell you that the Needler was weak, period. Yes it's cool that it can follow people but it doesn't do anything as a gun. I'll address your latter points here as well, why should you be able to take out an elite with an assult rifle? It's still a gun. Pistols are good at medium range, you can't snipe anyone from accross the map with a pistol, plasma rifles are just basically assult rifles, nothing special there at all. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, if you're playing against good people you'll know when to use each gun. You aren't going to try and snipe someone with an assult rifle and you'll find that even if you do hit it does like nothing. As in real life, weapons do less damage over longer ranges.

2) Yea, got me there, I was setting myself up for that. I took it in a different context as in there is a game that is the best and Halo isn't it.

3) It doesn't matter that Microsoft loses some money. As I have repeatedly said, they are attempting to take a bite out of the market. You can't expect them to take the entire market on their first try. It is actually surprising that they are doing this well. Most first attempts into already set markets fail, microsoft got lucky and they know this. They can take the loses because this is a long term deal.

7. How the Hell are you getting that the matrix is blatantly ripped from snow white? Unless you're talking about the prince kissing snow white and her coming back to life. I'd like to know that. But Matrix is actual derived from texts by the ancients and some random anime and manga. I forgot the name of the work, but it was about how you would know if something was real or not if you had never experianced it, like if there were people who were chained to a cave wall, and all they saw were shadow animals and stuff, what would happen when they went out of that cave and what not. Very matrix-ish.

1) Right, because the whole exploding needles doesnt do anything. And when I said that about the assault rifle, I meant i CAN, not that I SHOULD. And in real life, one shot can pretty much take down/maim someone, if not kill them. But, alas, not so true in our 'realistic' game.

2) You sweep off their losses as just another jump into gaming, and its not, rarely do any companies lose BILLIONS OF DOLLARS at all, let alone doing it and still surviving. The ONLY, and I mean ONLY reason MS is still in the gaming business is because of Windows, and its stranglehold over the OS market. Theyre filthy stinking rich, so losing enough money to crush a hundred companies at once isnt all that much. Theyre still losing, infact, they are doing horribly in worldwide sales, being crushed by Sony and Nintendo.

3) And I was joking about the Snow White comment, it was sarcasm.

ohh i played it few days ago at my friends house, i can't tell the difference between halo and halo 2. lol

Theres not really much of one.
