My first run through of the game was on legendary and I rarely had the plasma pistol available so it sucked, but I managed to push through and get the 150 gamerpoints. |

Did you solo it on Legendary though? You can't really ... get up in their face.  |

I NEVER use the Plasma Pistol. Fuck that thing. I take them down with good old melee to the face, DMR to the face, repeat.

Originally posted by Xeus Challenge accepted. I never use the Plasma Pistol, and I don't plan on it now. I went through Halo 2 and 3 without using the thing, and it was pretty rough against the Brutes. I have the manpower, though. I shall repeat my awesome voyage yet again without this technique. Let the deaths roll |

I too jumped from Normal to Legendary, heh. Although I had Legendary experience under my belt from previous games... or just the original.
The trick for taking out Elites remains, always have a plasma pistol to take out their shields instantly then switch to the DMR or something and headshot them once. I'd like to see someone beat everything without this strategy, yeah right lol. |

So, I finally beat the campaign on Normal. Now to try out Legendary. Oi. This is coming from the kid who dies killing Grunts in Firefight on Heroic. Good luck, me.
I was a little late to actually beat the game, but I like it. The story is great, and the ending was pretty bad ass. |

So the tables are broken. Sweet.
As for the game, I've never used Forge before and BOY is it a pain in the tookus! |

I told all my friends I kind of hate that video... because it's newgrounds, wtf. |

Well, after my old 360 broke for the second time I was 360-less for 20 days, and I bought a new slim model with my birthday money and I have to say... I'm definitely having a lot of trouble getting back into this game. And just as I predicted my usual friends who play games online are constantly buying new games and switching over to others, so it's like they've moved on already.
Yeah I don't know what to say anymore. I want Bad Company 3. |

I guess I need to update on my opinion of this game. I think is one of the most disappointing games of this year. I don't know why, but for some reason I started playing it one day and I said to myself "I really don't want to play this anymore". That's the last time I played it. |
| Phoenixocracy Posts: 2342/2746 |
This game has been bought by yours truly yesterday. Vince and I had some fun going through firefight and messing around in Slayer before we started story, on easy mode for the first go. I wish there was a bit more story, but I can't say that I don't love the game. Because I do.
Oh yes, I do. |
| Xeoman Posts: 8758/11757 |
Yeah, honestly I know I myself and others would maybe laugh a bit if Bungie turns around to create another FPS series after this (since they're gonna be with Activision for the next 10 years, yikes). But if they did go back to the Marathon universe (more "officially" than Halo) I think that'd be incredibly awesome. If I remember right Bungie still retains all creative rights and all for the Marathon name, but I'm not sure.
I guess I didn't update my Halo marathon fun above either... but I got through Halo 2 early yesterday. I hate to say it but it just became a drag after awhile. The story was pretty all over the place, with MC and Arbiter teleporting around later on, etc, and yeah. I just can't really get into the Arbiter stuff, I even forgot you play as him in the last level. The weirdest thing about the game to me is that it felt like it wasn't even the same engine as the other games. The hit detection on the enemies felt very off pretty often, many of the guns just straight up sucked, the graphics were so muddy and not "solid" like the first game... etc, it was just really weird. Worth revisiting but now I remember why I only beat it twice before.
EDIT: And Halo 2 should be a testament as to why MS should NOT rush out Halo games. If I remember right and my friend has the same story too, Bungie wanted to get a few more levels in and needed more time but MS wanted the game finished by the holiday season. The lack of polish certainly shows. So in a way I do feel like I can blame MS more on about Halo 2's faults with me. Then I blasted through Halo 3 up to the third to last level in what felt like an hour, lol. It's definitely an improvement over Halo 2, but I feel like even that one hasn't aged too well with me here and there. The storyline/dialogue and all that feels really campy, the Elites look pretty stupid too. At least the gameplay feels like "Halo" with the rest of the games though, unlike 2! And the Forerunner architecture is glorious to look at. I just love huge FPS's like this (and the original Unreal! Play that one if you guys haven't, I wouldn't be surprised if Bungie pulled a lot of influences from it for the original Halo). But yeah, I think running through all these back to back, the original and Reach are definitely my favorites. Not just because Reach is the newest or anything, but it really does feel a lot like the original game more than the others to me. It feels solid and "just right". |

Halo's driving and gunning AI got progressively better, but reach somehow isn't as good as Halo 3's AI to me. But, I plan on just plowing through the games...maybe on co-op.
I haven't seen any of the remakes. I'll have to go get them. Also, I don't think I'll be buying (m)any of the "halo games" not made by Bungie. I might rent them to see if they are still following the Halo Universe's rules, but I'm a fan of Bungie just as much as I am a fan of Halo. |

The trick to fighting Elite's that worked flawlessly in the original works again in this one: Charged plasma pistol shot to take out shields, then headshot them with something for a quick kill.
I'm a few levels into solo Legendary now, it definitely seems doable. The Hunters are gonna be pretty damn ruthless though, so far I've fought them twice. The worst part so far is the friendly AI, especially when you're driving vehicles. You have two options: A) have a horrible gunner, B) or if you'd rather be gunner, have a horrible driver. Even ghosts can wipe you out almost instantly, so it's been very annoying so far. |

I still desperately need this game. Desperately.
Believe it or not, I still haven't played ODST, either. 
I've beaten Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3 on legendary, but they were pains in the ass. The original the most so, but i haven't played that one in a while. As for your post, Xeo, I hate MS. This is going to completely ruin the series for me. |
