The ten commandments of Halo

Fri May 20, 2005 10:03 pm by J Dawg

Awhile ago, there was a thread in the FL discussion about the 'ten commandments of Freelancer.' After playing Halo PC for quite a while now, I have come up with a few to start off with. Some or all of these apply to all multiplayer PC games as well. So, in no particular order:

1. Thou shalt never chat in all caps, for any reason.
2. Thou shalt not accuse other people of being noobs whenever they kill you. Simply accept the fact that there are other people out there better than you.
3. Follow the requests of the game host. If banshees are not allowed due to excessive lag, do not use them.
4. Thou shalt not betray a teammate purposely
Corrolary to #4: In the event that you betray a teammate accidently, thou shalt apologize immediately. Also, thou shalt not join games for the single purpose of betraying others.
5. Thou shalt not run forward while firing the flame thrower. To do so is crispy and stupid.
6. Thou shalt not be ignorant of nearby threats (i.e. vehicles) while sniping.

More, anyone?

Thou shalt bow to the berry pie and the doomfish.

Thou shalt remember that the needler can easily kill a slow-moving or stationary traget in a blaze of purple doom.

Thou shalt remember that needlers do diddly against vechicles.

Thou shalt not use the rocket launcher as anything other than a CLUB at close range.

Thou shalt always attempt to retrieve a banshee if they are on the map.

Thou shalt never take a tank in a one-on-one without a plasma grenade, and NEVER go up against a tank in a banshee

Thou shalt AIM FOR THE HEAD!

Never attempt to use the assault rifle as anything other than an assault rifle.

Pistols have explosive bullets, that means: MORE DAMAGE!

Thou shalt never voluntarily get in the passenger seat of a warthog unless carrying the flag and showing it off. you WILL die first. and you cant hit a thing anyway.

thou shalt ALWAYS activate nightvision on the sniper scope, it makes all the bad guys go black!

Thou shalt stop playing games and go outside once in a while

thou shalt also wake up to the realisation that Halo is Ringworld and the whole idea is a rip-off of other peoples work.

thou should also be aware that Tawakalna's 10yr old also refused to accept that Halo is Ringworld until Tawakalna showed him lots of Ringworld pictures and the little mite cried out "that's Halo!"

Well said, master chief. I suppose you'd know better than anyone.

Thou shalt not stand still to type chat messages, lest ye die.
Thou shalt never confront an enemy in the rocket warthog if the launcher is unloaded, lest ye die.
Thou shalt not camp in the same place every time, lest ye be found, and die
Thou shalt not move any warthogs skillfully parked by other teammembers on enemy teleporters, lest they get mad and kill you.

And finally,

Thou shalt stop creating silly threads on internet forums, and get a life.

WOW! Good spot, that. Have you considered joining Mensa?

Thou shalt hide ones rocket launcher, and use a weak gun, to lure the foolhardy vehicle drivers into an ambush.

Well noted, Cortana. That comment was directed at myself. :-)

Thou shalt also conceal thy flamethrower until it may be used effectively.

A funny side story about this.... a new player was on the other day and asked what the key for crouch was. An enterprising prankster told him to press 'alt+F4'

Thou shalt not play "Sniper rifles" only to do so is death
