yeah thats the one, i didn’t even know a dropship had landed, i was strolling around trying to find a nice vantage point and WHOOSH i sidestepped an invisible strike. It’s fun because on legendary the point blank encounters with elites usually result in you dying in about 2 seconds, but when you let rip with a plasma nade and it sticks, you have a chance
How, sir?
Glad to hear someone else didn’t chicken out playing it on legendary lol. Yeh one melee and you are dead. I always try to flank them then sneak up on them and assassinate.
I’ve only played up to the mission that opens with you carrying the sniper rifle at night.
Already I enjoy this more than Halo 3. Helps that we have actual characters and not just the messiah that is Master Chief who has less of a personality than Captain America. Just saying. The Elites, at least on normal, don’t feel any more difficult than they ever have. The evading can be annoying but other than that they act the same.
THE DMR IS THE SHIT.
But I do miss my silenced SMG from ODST.
Overall I’m having a lot of fun playing and the artists deserve the highest honors. Bungie’s artists almost reach Valve levels of imagination and detail. That goes a long way with the immersion. I’ll miss your hard work and dedication Bungie!
(I’m not a competitive console fps fan but I’m totally, TOTALLY, down for some Firefight. Holla at me)
I personally don’t like most of the weapons. Everything feels so weak, even when hitting headshots. It’s almost better to equip sprint and just run at the enemy and Melee them twice ftw.
I was never really big on Halo, and the only time I played it was with my little cousin in local mp with shotguns. Is this the Halo that will convince me? I always felt the game too floaty with some goofy ass weapons.
No. It’s still Halo.
4 shots to the body 1 to the head is the fast way to drop an opponent
anyone else thought the ending of campaign is fucking genius?
USE SPOILERTAGS IF NECESARY
I’m going to say it now, PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE THE SPOILER TAGS if you want to talk about the ending
Camo, you have to crouch-walk otherwise it doesn’t work.
**Damn this game is so fun.
It’s the greatest First Person Shooter of all time.**
great game, but I still find the elite’s in campaign to be lame. All they do is dodge a shit ton, and kinda hide behind things. I kinda miss how the Brutes in Halo 3 would lead, and use equipment.
mp is fun, although i get WAY too many matches of Swat and Snipers. Hologram seems OP though (although it’s technically easy to see through it)
Halo Reach?
More like Halo Reacharound.
I beg to differ. I think Valve has done that twice over.
HAHAHAHA ROFL LOL 
never heard that before 
I just bought this last night and it’s pretty fun. I like the new features and having sprint, hologram and jet packs makes things really interesting.
But i have a quick question though, i only got to play about 3-4 games of rumble pit. After you die you get to choose if you wanna change to a jet pack etc etc…but i think maybe in 1 or 2 games i never got the option to do so…is that based on what maps we’re on or the type of game we’re playing? I would assume that the option would always be available no matter what…
:u: It depends on the gametype
When you die, look in the upper right corner of your screen and it tells you to press X to change your armor ability. You have be really quick about it though otherwise you’ll keep respawning with your same AA.
I’m up in the air about the game. I’m not sure if I really like campaign or not. While the game is really beautiful to look at, it seems they’ve clogged the scenery with so much random, useless hit that makes identifying targets really difficult. I don’t like the fact that grenades are near impossible to find and when you do find them then use them the enemies dodge/evade them easily.
I’m also really disappointed in the length of the campaign too. I played Legendary from start to finish yesterday and was done in 6+ hours. I’m happy that the CE magnum has returned though. DMR is great on everything but Elites, their shields just absorb bullets like they are nothing.
I didn’t find myself caring about the characters at all. When Spartan’s started dying I was surprised it didn’t start happening earlier. I’m also upset that Master Chief doesn’t seem to make an appearance in anyway, shape or form - not even in discussion.
The high point of the whole campaign experience? Switch your character model to female and suddenly you’ll start to think the UNSC are using Brazilian females to fill their armor. Teh asses are huge!!
Is proximity back? Is it back in ranked games? I searched for it, but couldn’t find anything.
