Yeah, I tried, but never got it to work. Halp me ovar PM's.

Oh my God, she read my post. I said "don't read it." She said "You're a minor, you have no privacy." Even if it's true, it's not right.

Oh yeah, after she read it, she E-Mailed it to my dad.

What bullshit.

Floyd rose sucks.
I'm taking this fucking Ibanez back and getting a decent guitar.

CoD4's A.I. Marines in single player mode suck ass. They barley help me at all (on Veteran mode anyway). I think I'd have better chances of survival if I had a bunch of bricks with sharp edges to throw at terrorists than I'd have with a platoon of Marines. =\

Did that even make sense? I don't know anymore. WHERE AM I?!?!?

If every AI was as good as the player, you wouldn't have to play the game at all. They are purposefully less helpful because the player is supposed to be doing most of the work.

I know, but I mean to an extent where they don't offer the least bit of cover, or any kind of help other than opening doors. They just get in my way.

You'd think think they'd make good bait for enemy guns or something since they barely do anything, but the enemy focuses on the player at ALL times. But oh well, another obstacle in the game I guess...annoying as it may be ( and it's deceiving, an obstacle disguised as your ally >_>).

I decided to re-format my laptop today... I started it about 8 hours ago and I'm still waiting for it to finish... *sigh*

CoD never really has had great AI...in 2/3 they basically just ran straight in to enemies' bullets, but spawned infinitely. Dunno how they are in 4, because I've only played MP...but I can't imagine they're too great.

I thought the AI in COD4 were really good, actually. More useful than the Marines in all the Halo games.

I like how in Halo 3, they kill you more times than the Covenant does.

Fixed. I never had Marines kill me in 3, but in 2 they were on sprees at some points.

I guess you've never let a marine try to drive your warthog?

It's almost as if they purposefully drive me off the cliff.

I learned my lesson from Halo 2 that Marines are not meant to drive anything.

Yeah, On second thought, I don't know what I was thinking, allowing a marine to drive the warthog.

I screwed up doing Marathon Man and I didn't wait until the terminals got into the Fragment bits. >_<
And the IWHBYD skull didn't work. ;_;

When I was doing that, sometimes they went into the Fragment part, but other times they went into something else.

It was weird

That is weird, considering they are programmed to do one thing.

Yes, it is.
First time, After redirection, it went to a bunch of text, and it lacked a word, "Fragment."
Second time, same thing.
Third time, it went to the Fragment thing.
The first, second, third, and seventh terminals worked fine, it was the ones on The Covenant that were sorta weird.

Did you finish the level after you got the skull?

Pretty sure he's saying that it didn't appear at all.

Ok.

Did you do it on Easy?
Did you start at the beginning of the level?
