Halo Reach

Hey everyone,
Halo Reach is one of my favourite games, so I decided to write a review about it.

Halo Reach was developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios. The game play is brilliant; amazing storyline that makes you want to play 24/7. The graphics are a new generation. They are amazing!! The aliens are hard to beat, but not hard enough for the game to get boring. So the AI is quite good and the movements are very realistic. The controls are quite simple, but a bit different to Call of Duty. The weapons include an assault rifle, (which is the main UNSC weapon.), a handgun, and frag grenades. Sometimes sticky grenades. (They stick to enemies.).
All in all Halo Reach is an amazing game and I say you should  buy it for $23.00 at Amazon, (link provided), right this very minute!!

The Sentimental Sniper-Short Story by kitosdad

The Sentimental Sniper

a.k.a. War is Hell

kitosdad

My position had been carefully chosen after hours of painstaking selection. From here I couldn't be seen. My camouflage was perfect.

My face was blackened and streaked with green and with a handful of the soft dirt that surrounded my position. 

My long-range snipers rifle was similarly blackened and wrapped with the same grass in which I lay comfortably concealed.

I blended naturally into the thick grass on the crest of a hill that afforded me a wide vista of the terrain that lay before me.

Here I had lain for hours in No Man's Land; that area between the two advancing armies.

I idly wondered how many lives would be lost over the battle for this worthless piece of scrub-land.

Land on which shepherds had grazed their flocks for centuries, now a prized possession to both countries.

How many sons would never be returning home to their families after this skirmish?

How many wives and children would be without a husband and father, alone and lost, left to struggle for their very existence.

I shook my head to clear these unwelcome visions. 

I'd a job to do, and I had to do it well.

There could be no time allocated for maudlin thoughts to cloud my judgement which was just as well, because I'd just sighted the first of the advancing scouts. 

He moved quickly and deftly, using every inch of cover he could find.

My orders were to let the first three pass unharmed. 

My colleague, suitably concealed about two-hundred metres behind me, would take care of them. I was to take the next three out. A proficient   sniper should be able to kill three targets before being detected.

Lying stock-still I watched the first three pass close to me. 

They looked so young. The sweat was running down their faces, and they were being driven by fear. 

They were scared! They had been well trained, but the fear in their eyes showed that they were novices in this war game.

The next group appeared in my sights and I had a good field of fire.

Now I'd only to hear the crack of my colleagues rifle to commence my own onslaught.

Yes, war was hell when you allowed your sensitive side to struggle to the surface. 

Will it ever end?.
