        Grazie. I was enjoying the campaign. Giving me a good idea of how each gun works and their recoil and such. -- nm - Krusty Jun 11, 13:14 1
        
        there is a premium paid in the game to trying to stay behind cover and moving without running in the open. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 13:15

        I have hit the point, where I like the combat much better than Halo. - groiny Jun 11, 13:22 2
        
        honestly, i think its because halo doesnt want to you think that kind of tactically - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 13:27 1

- I think a melon green would be better than chocolate. -- nm - zork Jun 11, 12:46 7

LIR: the specifics of that A/C myth may have been busted but as mara's link says, the longer you don't cool the place, the more you'll save - zork Jun 11, 12:40 2
