after playing a few games, i got some impressions:
best needler ever. this thing is insane now.
the scattershot is neat. its helped me out in some tough situations. the suppressor isn’t really working for me though. i guess its meant to take out shields?
the area with all the friendly sentinels before a certain major plot point . . . it looks the most like the classic forerunner rooms from the old games.
i hope there are some friendly covy forces (like Halo 2) in a later episode of spartan ops and then we can get funny english talking grunts again. :shy:
ive been thinking i may end up getting this game after skipping out on halo reach and not touching halo 3 for such a long time, mainly due to the fact that the matchmaking thing was totally fucked most of the time and ended up playing goddamn shotty snipers on almost every game. i liked when it was just the map with the default weapons and none of this themed BS.
does the new game do that as well or does it just use default weapons? i remember halo 3 was ok till they introduced the map packs and thats when it started getting really bad for it.
also how are the weapons balanced on multiplayer? is there any totally OP bullshit aka the pistol in halo 1?
The gun battles are back! The fact that you can kill somebody, continue to battle without having to reload, and kill the next person because of the huge skill difference is awesome! That’s the biggest difference between H1 and H2 from their predecessors. A gun battle in H1 and H2 didn’t automatically mean that you would get killed if somebody rolled up on you.
To me this gayme is more like H1 where headshots actually kill and make a difference. The reason I say its closer to H1 rather than H2 is because H2 had the cancelling glitch that made the gayme super fast pace. Triple kills were common because of the RRYYR glitch. That doesn’t include the BXR or BXB either!
Here all the known codes in the halowaypoint puzzle thing
For Raider 1 and 2 you need to beat Spartan Op missions 1 and 2 in episode 1 to unlock the raider shoulder pads and torso. Oni unlocks whenever from what I can tell(it might freeze you xbox if you do it on the console app) which unlocks concept art, an emblem, and gives you 5000XP. Wiseguy unlocks another emblem and gives you 2000XP, you’ll need to find all 7 terminals in the campaign first though.
Remember you have to do ingame things first before inputting the codes, with the exception of Oni.
So, I’ve been hearing that the MP is similar to and better than H3 (my Halo MP starting point), and LEAGUES better than Reach (I hate those health packs, b). Would it be safe to say that for an H3 player, this would be the best game to be playing?
Yesterday I was the sticky master but toward the end I couldn’t do it.
I suck, as my K/D is negative, but I’m having a lot of fun.
Regicide needs something else. Its fun to play, but that mode will get boring after a while.
anyway, i just unlocked my recon helmet so i’m pretty happy to have that again. i just need a better visor color than red or blue now. (i’d go for the gold legendary visor but i’m going to wait for solo legendary guides to appear online before attempting it)
Nothing special about legendary, outside of waiting in a few areas (like in the first part when you’re outside and you have to kick that thing) , you have to fight everything for the most part.
unless you got da juuiiiicccee…
P.S… I said “look at all dat juice” a few time during the campaign and called it imoltion/emoultion, haha.
PPS… gimmie that guide when you get it… I DO want that achievement.
I haven’t looked at the skulls yet, but in AE there were a few that BENEFITED you!
Its cool/nice feature.
Dat wiggle room
The campaign has been ok so far, but it’s oddly flat in spots. Like there will be huge vehicle segments where you would think tons of action and swelling music, but it’s just me and a few dudes running around with no soundtrack. That and there seems less variety in the enemies and their interaction with each other. I don’t play much halo, but I swear in 3 you would have the covenant interacting with each other like big dudes harassing the smaller ones and whatnot. Just made it more alive, whereas this one is just a shooting gallery
