Can I rant about Halo for a minute? Yeah? If not, I'm sure someone'll tell me. Anyway, here's what I original wrote on n00bstories. It got locked outright because it was a self-nomination, and only a self-nomination. But I digress. . . *ahem*

It's official. I am the worst Halo[for the PC] player in the world. So I'm turning myself in before someone else does. And hey! This time I have actual valid reason to report myself. Read on. . .
Here's the story. I hopped on to a random Capture the Flag server, right? I thought to myself, "Well. . . This is the first time I've ever played Multiplayer Halo on ANY platform, so this should be quite a treat." . . .how very wrong I was. The maps were irrelivant. I WAS the ONE and ONLY n00b of all the five games I played, ranking dead last with zero kills and repeated deaths. THE MOST deaths, in fact. But anyway, let's get to the good stuff.
Halo has to have the most CONFUSING HUD I've ever seen. Not the HUD itself, but the way it decides to display things. Things like team mates, names, and other important icons such as the FLAG. I was on blue for all of these games, and guess what? Every name I saw, shock and awe, WAS ALSO IN BLUE. If someone was in a vehicle, I couldn't tell if they were friend or foe. Even worse, I ended up shooting down our team's FLAG CARRIER because, as it happens. . .the FLAG ICON was in blue, TOO! I thought that was OUR flag in the Banshee, not THEIRS. What's the freaking point in knowing where THEIR flag is on the HUD if we have it, but not know the location of OUR flag if they have ours? You tell me that!
Anyway. . . Long story short, some dipstick teamkilled me next game. When I asked why, he explained to me that was him in the Banshee with Red's flag. Geezus. . . From that point on, he was on red. Every chance he got, he rammed into me with a Banshee on every map we played. He even managed to find me, time and time again, when I happened to grab Red's flag. Being a new player, it really didn't occur to me to try and throw a Fragmentation Grenade at this thing coming at me at 80 MPH, flag or not. Geezus. . .
I'd continue, but all I'd be doing from this point on is whining about how different Halo is compared to. . .well. . .ANY god damned first-person shooter(Except Tribes: Vengence, which bites as a Tribes game anyway.), and how confusing everything is. So. . .yeah. End of Line.

Yeah, I was too lazy to add FUDcode here. *shrugs* Anyway, I'm done. Your thoughts, comments, and whatever?
