MemberNope haven't heard of it until now. Sounds cool… they are following suit with the Resistance 2 tournys I guess.
I'll go out on a limb here and say you're excited for this tournament! KZ2 Champ haha. Good luck!!

I did not say the theory was fact, hence why it's called a theory. I simply presented an alternative explanation that I learned for how we came to be. I don't know what I was thinking when I typed Grand Canyon as the Grand Canyon is close to 500 km. When I said 180km I was thinking of the Chixculub crater in Mexico. Others may better know it as the K-T event/impact. It occured approximately 65 million years ago and is thought to be the impact which caused a mass extinction. Along that note there are said to be about 150 known impact craters around the world. That clears up the grand canyon talk. My mistake.
As for the rest, I think you may have slightly misinterpreted what I wrote out earlier.
When you say the only thing capable of completely removing life from a certain place is the merging of 2 realities… you are yourself stating a separate theory entirely. Not fact. Just as I did not state fact, but theory. The comet did not hit Earth and manage to magically strike every living creature causing them to become extinct. Based on the theory, it hit Earth uplifting enough debris for a long enough period of time to block out the sun. Whatever survived that initially, if anything, was then buried when the debris fell back to the ground. Based on that perspective, I think it's erroneous to say that a comet would never remove life from our planet. Just like it would be erronerous to say the merging of 2 realities would never remove or replace life on our planet, based on your theory. It's all speculation. We weren't around at the time of our origins to know first hand what happened. As far as debris restriking our planet, yes it seems unlikely to skeptics… but it in the span of 4.5 billion years, it is still in line with the theory. Said debris would not have to be set in a gravitational orbit whose path collides with us. Objects in outer space frequently collide. Those collisions are what cause things to “fall” out of orbit, enter another planet's atmosphere and crash. Take the main asteroid belt in our solar system located roughly between Mars and Jupiter. Every asteroid in that belt does not stay on course. Collisions occur frequently causing material to break off and redirect. Thus the idea of a restrike on Earth is not unimaginable.
Also, we have not proved that there is or ever was intelligent life on Mars. That being said, the idea that life may have once existed there is not out of the question. We have found evidence that at one time there might have been liquid water on Mars (3.8BYA) which has now dried up and at another time there has been snow on Mars. To date, that's it.
Assuming life had the potential to exist elsewhere in our solar system (forget the universe for a second), and assume that it was carbon based life forms, such as ourselves that could exist. Assume once more that both planets Earth and Mars had everything needed to sustain life. Everything except for a catalyst. Earth got it's catalyst from the impact of Martian rock. (A lot of assumptions, I know.. just trying to put it into perspective).
The building blocks of life as we know it (carbon based) are Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon and Nitrogen. Those elements make up 96% of the mass of living things and are the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 6th most abundant elements in the universe respectively.
Venus is in fact Earth's sister planet and shares more in common (Venus, 95% size and 82% in mass). Not mars. The problem with Venus is that it receives twice as much solar radiation from the sun than the Earth does. It's atmospheric pressure is also about 90 times what Earth's is. It's clouds are made of sulfuric acid. Habitable… I think not. Similarly, basic Mars data for habitability purposes also are not good. Mars is by no means “perfect” for habitability… far from.
“i doubt people from mars would have created us as the state of their planet”
I also did not say that people 1) existed on Mars or 2) created us. Based on the theory I initially explained… I mentioned microorganisms… not people, or intelligent life. Martians did not create us but we might “be” Martians if chemical life originated on Mars and then martian rock then crashed into Earth… catalyzing the whole process.
I do not claim to know where we came from, I just know the details of theories that based on where we came from. Once again I will mention that no one has to believe anything I have said to be the FACTS of our origin and I am not portraying them to be so. We will likely never know undisputedly where we came from. The theory is just that, a theory. One of many.
Please further explain how the pyramids are the key similarity between Mars and Earth. Not because I am inferring you are wrong, but just because I am not very knowledgeable about the pyramids and would like to know more.

Memberlol there are a whole bunch of theories that exist, I was just shedding light on one of them.
Personally I don't think it matters where we came from, and I don't think we will without a doubt ever know. What's certain is that we're here. We exist. It's how we choose to live and what we do in this life that counts.

Okay, well, there's a couple trophies that are kinda confusing to me.
1) Talk!
2) Multiplayer Master!
How did you receive those two? I mean, it sounds like you don't have to do anything to receive them. Do you just receive them as soon as you start a game?
You won't receive them as soon as you start the game but at various points throughout the game they will be automatically given to you. There is no interrogation or multiplayer features as I'm sure you can guess from the trophy descriptions. Don't worry about them
You will receive the “It's HAZARD TIME!” trophy when you start the game however

MemberI am incredibly confused how this topic got to be talking about human evolution. I think all Shade meant to do by bringing up bats is to show how much more resiliant they are to common ailments that harm and kill humans. Just a simple comparison of immune systems. Which kudos for the info, I wasn't aware that bats could have 100s of different diseases at one time and survive.
However, if we want to start talking about our origins scientifically and the presumed evolution of humankind… you may as well start from the beginning and incorporate astronomy. The whole idea of the Big Bang theory. Or the idea some astronomers have that we are in fact, all Martians. It's what the term panspermia is based on… the idea that life exists on Earth because the potential for life already existed elsewhere in the universe; or more simply that life exists on Earth because of microorganisms from outer space. The Earth, being approximately 4.5 billion years old has had enough time stabilize. So hypothetically while Earth was still in a fragile state, meteoritic bombardments on Mars caused organics to be blown off and land on Earth. It's then that we see prehistoric creatures such as the dinosaurs. They have a merry good time for a while but bombardments continue. These huge impacts result in the extinction of prehistoric life; take the 180km wide crater we know and love as the grand canyon. Life, gone. So then we ask, if that's really what happened, how the heck are we here now? Following the same theory, these really big impacts that “sterilized” the Earth blew material off into space. Centuries later this material then hit Earth again, allowing it to repopulate. Evolution takes it's course… add in the biological details and DNA comparisons of various species and there you have it.
I'm not saying this is what I believe or that this is the only truth and that you should all believe it… I'm just throwing one of many theories out here in a nutshell. Make of it what you will. Aliens.

MemberI think what Hypnosis said is true. I also stumbled upon similar information a long while back. I just did some digging tonight and found many horror stories of stats being wiped. The sad part is that some people have had their stats wiped when they legitimately ranked up. They just selected “quick play” and ended up in a stat boosting game that was being monitored. I guess the developers at warhawk have decided to really crack down. There are random moderators, who monitor gameplay unbeknownst to the players. If they suspect anything illegitimate every person in that particular server gets their stats wiped.
If you want more info just type “warhawk stats wiped” into google… you'll find tons of forums on this.
For example, I found this on another forum… can't guarantee the truth in it but it seems legit…
“Dear Warhawk players,
Recently we have observed a bump in the number of “stats padding” games (games where players artificially pad their stats).
Please be forewarned that this practice will not be tolerated and players engaging in such actions will be subject to the Sony EULA banning rules.
We will wipe the offending player's stats and institute a 1 day ban. If the same behavior is again observed these players will be banned for much longer periods.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.

Mine would be One Tree Hill and Family Guy. I also like Mythbusters, Dr Who, and Distraction
YES, ONE TREE HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for freakout but that is my favourite show. Ever.
People never seem to know about it. I'm impressed Xero

MemberI'm sorry to hear that, I wish it would have worked. I'm trying to think if maybe I misdirected you somehow… but I'm pretty sure the above instructions are exactly what I did.
NuFc_kNoXiE_KiLa any luck with you?

MemberProps to him for getting the Warhawk Platinum. That is absolutely insane if gotten legit! From what I've read getting to General + getting all the trophies takes around 1000 hours and a decent amount of skill.
As far as his trophy totals… props to him again. However, – and forgive me if I'm mistaken – but my friend has KingOfAllGames on his friends list and told me that KingOfAllGames is a game tester. Therefore it is part of his job description to play games. I think most of you can agree, if we got paid to play video games, we would be right up there with him. If this in fact isn't true, and he isn't a game tester… then he must not sleep. lol.

Actually, Prototype will have a GTA style story to it. You wake up with these bad ass super powers and can try to find out who did it to you.
Or…
You can kill people and blow shit up.
lol. Right on!
