Marines die. That's what we're here for. But the Colonial Marine Corps lives forever. And that means you live forever.

Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.

Or not, considering this news post means absolutely fuck all to anyone, since it has no mention of anything and is just a random picture. It's a ridiculously massive fail tbh. Cryptic advertising doesn't work on a mod, full stop.

Background process. Has something to do with some activity going on somewhere. Sorting junkmail, I think. No value or interest. Doesn't do much except hog resource.

No, they've chopped the bottom half off and put the top into a shield, then added the extra bit.
And they're colonial marines, not space marines.

The poster has things from Aliens and things from Halo so it's fairly sensible to conclude that it's HaloGen's return, I believe they're using the name Asylum now.

And Torn, stop being daft.
It's quite clearly not a random picture, it's a recreation of the Fight For Her poster on the Pillar of Autumn (the filename is even exactly that) with a quote from the I Love Bees ARG that preceeded Halo 2 and a logo either intentionally or accidentally similar to that of the USCM from Aliens.

I'm not being 'daft'. I've never played Halo and I have no idea what the Pillar of Autumn is. I meant random in the fact that it's not linked to anything. It could LITERALLY be for anything, and hardly works if you don't mention what it's actually trying to show. Joke of a news post.

Broken grammar ftw. I have no idea what you're trying to get at.

Yeah, well done. I just said I didn't know what they were. I would know that just by looking at the news post because?

Yes.

Yes.

No idea, didn't design the logo and didn't pay that much attention to Aliens.

Because if you were familiar with Halo you would spot the references.
Calling it a fail of a news post because you're not in the target demographic is daft.

So the target demographic of a news post on a CNC3 website is Halo fans? Yeah, fucking great logic there, well done.

*Bashes head*

The news post has nothing to do with anything, apart from some vague Halo reference, which only Halo fans will see, apparantly. Therefore how does that target demographic fit with a CNC3 site? Apparantly I'm a moron by calling the news post stupid when I'm not a Halo fan. I didn't know I had to be a Halo fan to understand rubbish news posts on a CNC3 news page.
