Warning
And I have only one thing to say to you...keep calm and carry on. Stop harassing other contributors or you'll get a temporary ban. Understood?

Have a nice day,

Okay, okay ill stop. I know when im beaten. --CookieMonstersayshello 07:01, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

Sanghelli
Please stop with the whole tactics thing the tactics aren't better than the other because bothhave worked well at times. Forgive My English TALK TO ME BABY 23:28, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Thing is, though Halopedia seems to feel the need to gold up human tactics even more than sangheili tactics --CookieMonstersayshello 13:34, 19 May 2011 (EDT)

England
Please calm down. Halo is American so therefore we use American style English and grammar. Forerunner agrees with me. That was the reason I reverted your edits. And don't accuse me of stalking your edits. That's immature I check every to make sure it's grammatically correct. "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 10:12, 5 June 2011 (EDT)


 * I, myself am English and life just a few miles out from Leeds. It was decided that we adopt a single dialect because of Bungie's American origins and the use of the US dialect throughout publications - this stops us having edit wars where both are equally acceptable like on Wikipedia.--  Fore  run  ner '' 12:34, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

My point is: England is not the United Kingdom so I dont see how the way im writing isnt american english. I say leeds is in the North of england because it IS in the North of england, if its ok to say portsmouth is on the south coast I can say leeds is in the north of england. Bit of a logic to it if you know whadda mean. --CookieMonstersayshello 12:41, 5 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Oh - that stuff? Necessity. Firstly we don't know of any changes to the structure of the UK between now and the 26th century; it's the same reason why we only have articles on some planets of the Sol system. Also I am unsure as to your separation of locations into north and south - are you using a longtitude mark as a separator or the cultural North/South divide? Personally I would have used regions.--  Fore  run  ner '' 13:00, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

Thats what i mean the north and south regions. --CookieMonstersayshello 13:02, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

And I therefore dont see why saying Leeds in is the north is a crime or not in american english --CookieMonstersayshello 13:05, 5 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Perhaps they just preferred the UK one better because we had an article for it - get as much links to it as we can. Very, very minor, and further reversion could lead to a Halopedia equivalent of WP:LAME--  Fore  run  ner '' 14:42, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

But if Australia is classed as a country, why isnt England classed as a country as England IS a country. Its just laziness and insulting in our national identity and americans (no offense) often get this whole thing wrong and im TIRED of it. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:44, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

Alright this is what I was told on my talk page concerning the type of English we use on Halopedia by Forerunner. Enjoy... "I don't recall it being written though it is generally-agreed by the community, including most Commonwealth speakers."

Edit stalking

 * You also should realize that None of your recent edits were undone by me. Seriously take it up with the people who undo your edits. PRESIDENT1234 12:18, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

My friend, please
No one is "stalking" you, or going after you out of malice. We simply wish to keep this Wiki what it should be: An encyclopaedic, impartial collection of articles that tells it how it is. Military tactics are the techniques of using all your weapons and units to the best effect to win a battle. "Good tactics" are thought of as those that allow one side to bring the greatest damage to the enemy while minimising their own casualties. In this aspect, the Covenant are poor tacticians. They care not how many ships or troops they must sacrifice for an objective: In The Fall of Reach, they brought a Covenant supercruiser to the engagement that could have theoretically sniped the entire UNSC fleet away from long range, yet they still sent ships into the MAC guns. Likewise, they sent thousands of troops onto Reach without orbital support, and the UNSC fleet destroyed hundreds of those dropships as they entered Reach's atmosphere. The objective of these troops was to destroy the generators for Reach's Orbital Defense Platforms, thus giving the fleet a way in, so they understand strategy, or how engagements relate to each other to complete an overarching objective, but they have no idea how to employ good tactics. In fairness, there's probably a racial element to it: In First Strike, the Sangheili don't care how many Unggoy they have to send across a minefield to clear it, as long as the minefield is clear for them and the Kig-yar to get to the generator beyond. For a real-life example of this, look at us: We care not how many mice, rats, or monkeys are sacrificed while testing medicines, or how many cows with mad cow disease are culled, for what are they compared to the survival of humanity? This will probably change now that the independent Sangheili don't have the Unggoy to use as cannon fodder, and won't want to risk their own people. Had a Human commander leading Human troops been in the same situation, he probably would have radioed for Mine-Clearing Line Charges to clear the field, and then have his men advance by fire and manoeuvre while covered by artillery or air support. As for "1 single Major Elite could take on 4 marines and still win", that has little to do with tactics, but everything to do with technology: The Major has a plasma weapon that will blow through the Marines' armour like it isn't there (seriously, a plasma pistol tore open Sam's MJOLNIR armour in The Fall of Reach), and he is protected by energy shields. Of course, if the Marines adopt an elevated position, stay hidden, concentrate their fire and use a grenade - use good tactics, in other words - that's another story altogether...--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 13:53, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

AHHH!!! Now I get it, your basically saying the Covenant have got the strategy right, they just need to work on their tactics. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:09, 7 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Yes, I meant that entirely.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 14:11, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

Thank you. Someone who actually knows what hes talking about and not do the old covenant bashing that seems to be standard, im not being sarkie, when i say that okay. God, somones got the message that the covenant millitary plans arent all bad. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:20, 7 July 2011 (EDT) Im adding you.
 * You must, however, stop editing articles in the way you have been doing. It will not earn you friends and may result in a ban.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 14:25, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

I understand, but at the same time dont you think we should rephrase articles like the Elite page and stop all this business with tactics being confused with strategy. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:25, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

I mean like, say that the elites are good strategists which they are, rather than "skilled combat tacticians". --CookieMonstersayshello 14:26, 7 July 2011 (EDT) If you know what I mean.
 * I agree that too often tactics are confused with strategy. However, the average officer of any military should not find it difficult to see how engagements relate to each other. I think the Sangheili get strategic goals like "destroy Reach, cripple Humanity's war-fighting capability and destroy their resolve" and "destroy Earth, cripple Humanity's war-fighting capability even further and destroy their resolve to the point of losing faith in further resistance", but I think that's pretty much all they get. I think the Sangheili are at best average strategists, and poor tacticians, and poorer soldiers than they could be.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 14:33, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

I see why you'd say elites are poor tacticians, as there code of honour gets in the way of thinking outside the box but id say their good strategists, i dunno about "poor soldiers" as they do seem to be better trained than the marines, army troopers and slightly more so than the odsts in the way that they are more mobile, alot quicker, seem to be better shots etc. Also you gotta take into account alpha base, even though that was a disaster you gotta admire the elites ingenuity at the start:

Alpha Base

Trick the UNSC marines into thinking they are another pelican when in reality they are an armed force sent in to raid Alpha Base and kill John117.

Drone-Usage Strategy:

Use them as a diversion so that the covenant allies can attack on the ground.

But I will agree that the Elites' tactics due to their code of honour "getting in the way" could be improved. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:38, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

Your account
Judging by the edits you've been reverting, I'm guessing somebody else is using your account. Do you have a sibling who might be using your computer? I'd recommend logging out every time you've finished viewing this site to stop this.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 07:29, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, I do have an annoying sibling who basically hates Halo and thinks COD is way better but, I have the matter under control now and I will do what you said about logging out. Sorry about that. --CookieMonstersayshello 07:32, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Is this possibly the reason for your block a while back? 1234fansofHalo 10:23, 9 July 2011 (EDT)


 * Tell your sibling that (from me, but anonymously. Just say a more thoughtful player of FPS) CoD developers are boring people who aren't like Bungie. Infinity Ward don't make so many easter egg. Bungie let players get a Banshee through a -blam!- tunnel to get to a bridge up in the sky. (Scarab Gun). Infinity Ward just gives us silly laptops everywhere so we can collect them and change how the game looks (and hack the game). Where's the challenge? I'm not saying CoD sucks, I'm saying Cod is not as good as Halo. If your sibling says Halo is not realistic, tell him that the Sniper Barrett thingy is SEVENTY-EIGHT KILOGRAMS. That's about 172 pounds, people. Try carrying that around on your hands and SPRINT around with that -blam!-. Furthermore, Halo has such a great and expandable universe, and half of CoD's game is based on past wars. Where the -blam!- is that creativity? One last thing. One thing that annoys me in CoD is that "You have to do this, or you die". "You were too noob." and the screen goes fuzzy. You shoot a buddy, you travel back into time. Hey. It's your own fault that you shot your friend. Why should the Doctor come here with his cozy little blue police box and bring you back to time just because you want to play by yourself? I always wanted to put this somewhere in Halopedia. You might wanna archive your talkpage too.

Interesting perspective, as I said on my profile I think COD and Halo are as good as each other. I like Call of Duty because I personally believe it IS more realistic than Halo, Halo is a game with flying lasers every where on fictional space ring worlds. On the other hand, Halo is more creative and the Bungie ppl are more innovative than IW people, and I like the fact that on Halo you dont have to have as you say "the doctor and his tardis sending you back in time" if you shoot your own men, something I do the UNSC Marines cause I hate em so much (only joking lol I like some of em). Yeah I will archive my talk page when I stop procrasting on that matter. I will also tell my sibling your perspective in a way that doesnt provoke him to STOP using my account to vandalise Halopedian pages and your thoughts on COD v Halo. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:24, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
