I know this is a bit of a bump, but can someone PLEASE tell me how to take that mother fucking walking tank thing down? I'm out of rockets, out of allies (Except for some useless fucking flyer things that don't do shit), the thing moves to much for me to find a decent way of getting onto it and every time I move out from under it's belly it fires a huge laser beam thing that kills me.

I keep getting radioed by some guy telling me to get inside it to destroy it, and it's pissing me off. He can't give me any clue on how to get into the damn thing, but he'll happily radio me every thirty seconds telling me to get into it, making me eventually want to smash my controller into the TV in the hope that the controller will smash through the hull of the damn tank!

My opinion of the game so far: It is horrible...

The AI (especially for team mates) is horrifyingly bad. My allies constantly run in and get themselves killed off incredibly early, leaving me alone to deal with large waves of enemies. The only good part of this is they leave large masses of assault rifle ammo which is the only weapon I can get to be affective most of the time.

Also, whenever I'm in a vehicle such as the Warthog or the Mongoose, if I'm driving the guy shooting never shoots the things I need it to shoot, and if he's driving he always drives and stops at completely the wrong time, so we're quickly killed off. There was even a bit not too long before where I am where the driver drove into another ally. We weren't in battle or anything, so it wasn't like he couldn't wait an extra second for him to move, he just drove into him to continue.

As in the last two games, the shotgun is useless unless you are within three metres of your target, and since most of the time when you'd want to use it there are to many enemies to get near them.

Dying is really annoying because it sets you way too far back, and repeating stuff that I feel like I'm already repeating (Thanks to the fact it feels like I'm just playing Halo 1 again) is getting truely annoying. This was how I found out about the enemies' bad AI... It's so fucking repetitive. All I've had to do so far is learn the various waves of attack if I keep dying, then I'm set for going further in the level.

Multiplayer, in a word, sucks. Me and my friends have recently started playing Halo 1 multiplayer a lot together, and playing Halo 3 in the same way just doesn't work...

To destroy it, shoot at the joints on it's legs. After getting all four, it goes "OW" and buckles, allowing you to jump on it.

Or, just get behind it, and shoot the "ass" of it, right above where you can enter. You knock that off, and you can shoot the core directly.

And yeah, Halo 3 is kinda lame. I did online, but I was never into it. I mostly only played with friends.

I can't shoot any of the legs any more, I'm clean out of ammo... And I can't find any pickups anywhere. Although that doesn't matter too much now... I got frustrated and turned it off without saving so I got to do a shit load of stuff again...

The shotgun's range is actually pretty huge in the original Halo, compared to 2 and 3. So much that it's almost hilarious to see now.

Anyways, I played Halo 3 to death for about a month or so and now I can't go back to it (I blame CoD4). But regardless that I played it for quite awhile, I don't think it can touch the awesomeness that was Halo CE. The combat had drastically shifted from medium range (Halo CE) to close combat and there were WAY too many weapons that could kill people in one shot. I mean if the characters movement were a little faster, you'd probably have something equal to Quake in terms of just how "pointless" the gameplay can feel at times.

I don't know. I'd say I was pretty good at 3 (highest skill level was 45), and maybe I'm baised because I was insane at the original, but Halo CE/PC is still superior in my opinion. I played that game for like a year straight, went to so many LAN parties I lost track and had so much fun with the hundreds of custom maps for the PC version.

To me Halo 2 blew chunks. I'll just leave it at that.

Anyways, your best bet with the giant Scarabs is to use vehicles for taking them down, then go in on foot and blow up the thing in the back.

Well I got that down... In fact, I've done it again. Stopped playing for a day, went back to it, oh dear, suddenly I rule.
I just took the mongoose with a rocket guy on, drove under it and kept moving so I was not dangerously close to a leg. Took it down in less than thirty seconds.

I only played Halo CE a couple of days ago... The shotgun there only went about four metres infront... Ah, yeah, compared to Halo 2 and 3 it's huge I guess.

Also, Halo is the only game I know that makes the enemies smarter AND your allies dumber when the difficulty goes up.

Yeah, for me the most annoying thing were the Marines on the Warthog's turret. They only fire in bursts and take random breaks and stop firing every few seconds or so. Pretty annoying.

I think one thing that I can applaud Halo 3 for is the co-op, online and everything. Those were good times.

The co-op is WAY too easy though. Me and my friend were owning on legendary in places I was finding difficult on heroic.

Yeah it's pretty much mindless fun. Turn on a bunch of skulls or something for a challenge, even then you have too many respawns.
