Raises hand higher than physically possible
Posted By: Hikaru-119 <rukeladamee@yahoo.com>Date: 11/7/09 11:05 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Everything I've Come to Expect *SP* (scarab)

: A pivotal part of the story has a Spartan sacrifice herself to save an ODST.
: I think that this was the same incompetent that she had already saved 2 0r
: 3 times before. It was almost certain that she would be killed by putting
: herself in the way of that hammer strike.
: But its not only that: she was the lead sniper in a team sent to kill a
: Prophet. There was a very small window of opportunity to take out the
: target and she 'had him in her sights' at the time.
: There is no way that she would have sacrificed herself and the mission to
: save one ODST, especially an incompetent who had been nothing but a
: liability during the rest of the mission.

From my understanding of it the Spartan did her thing because the Brute was about to smash HER head in well before hand anyway and needed to kill it so the mission could go on. Obviously there was enough time to try and kill it otherwise the shot would have happened and then they would have gone squish.

: But its worse! No gamer would ever sacrifice himself to save an NPC. You
: would put yourself in the line of fire only if you were doing an escort
: mission because you want to avoid a trip back to the loading screen.
: Otherwise you shoot the Prophet and finish the level.

If he is behind me, probably not ONLY because I wouldn't notice it immediately. Then I'd be myself, revert to save, and try to save the dumb ass.

: Can we have a show of hands? Is there anyone here who has never killed a
: marine for any of these reasons: to get ammo? to get a better weapon? to
: stop him doing something stupid? because his dialog was irritating?

*Raises hand extra high.*

I like keeping my marines. Even if they do stupid things. I actually go out of my way to "Bring everyone home." Is it a game and therefore kind of stupid? Yeah, but I like getting into my Halo games and putting myself there and doing exactly what I would try to do.

: Helljumpers are not gamine boys, Spartans are serious soldiers.

Not anymore there aren't.
