It is pretty wack for Legendary. Bulletsponge for them, 2 hit kill for you. At least Halo 3 had the snipers. You have to waste about 2 clips just to break a shield.

Plasma weapons rape elite's shields.

Robo · « **Reply #782 on:** September 18, 2010, 07:17:43 PM »

The plasma pistol and the needler do. You're pretty much stuck with one of those two as your sidearm for the entire duration of the game on Legendary solo.

I'm well aware, guys.

speaking of weapons is it just me or does the grenade lobber suck shit?

iconoclast · « **Reply #785 on:** September 18, 2010, 07:47:06 PM »

The plasma rifles do a good job too, but yeah the plasma pistol is by far the best.

And yeah the grenade launcher is shit. It is in campaign at least, I've never picked one up in multi. I've been trying to get 1600 rating for team doubles arena, but it's hard to get that high even when you annihilate the team. I think I only have 1560 something.

I was trying to do the challenge for surviving a Firefight round, and my battery dies a minute before the Score Attack ends. I about broke my controller

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #787 on:** September 18, 2010, 07:53:47 PM »

A lot of the weapons suck. Like the focus rifle. When they're aiming it at me it's almost like an instant death if I get hit but if I'm using it I need to score 5 or so hits with it just to drop their shields. Seems like the only thing that's good for is taking out jackles and grunts.

And fuck those white elite bastards in the ass. They were always a little problematic throughout the game but at the end you run into several groups of them at various points and your weapon choices at that point are extremely limited. I don't know how many rounds of ammo I had to pump into those guys just to get by them. I was seriously hating the last 1/4 of the final mission because of bullshit like that. It wasn't Killzone 2 last level bad but it was probably the most frustration I've ever had with any Halo game.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #788 on:** September 18, 2010, 08:17:11 PM »

The fight between the two Elite was bad ass. Stuck the first with a plasma nad and the killed the second with the stolen sword

Whats the highest # of credits you all have got? Since I lick fat man scrot in multi I have to resort to Sniper Attack Firefight, which gets generally around 2000 credits.

I've only been playing multi (skirmish/slayer/arena) and I'm up to 70,000 credits so far. I don't really check how much I earn per game. I've spent some money on armor and stuff though so I dunno what my real total is.

We should group up. I am in a Halo mood. Not the king, but, I think I can hold my own in some DMR matches. I love DMR.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #802 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:17:27 AM »

Just got through playing some epic games with beezy and Linkzg. Unfortunately Link missed the turnaround where we stopped sucking and actually started winning some games. I can't say enough good things about the MP. Great stuff there.

Although they need to split off Swat and Team Snipers into their own playlists away from regular Big Team Battle and Slayer. Those always win the votes. I actually like both of those game types but I can see where a person wouldn't if they didn't like sniping.

cool breeze · « **Reply #803 on:** September 19, 2010, 02:05:13 AM »

you guys started winning when I left? I'm not surprised. I really like the sniper mode. You really get a lot of use out of the hologram and it is incredibly satisfying to trick an three or four guys behind a rock into giving away their position

I need to remember to save some videos of these games. One part of a match I did something really cool unintentionally and I wanted to see it again. Basically, two guys on a mongoose going after someone on my team, then by some miracle I managed to head shot both the driver and passenger with two bullets. I also need to remember what these maps are called. All I know is swordbase.

Just got through mission 4 (or whatever, the one where it's dark outside) on Legendary solo. The fact that your Spartan teammates can never die is like the only thing that's keeping me going. A lot of the pushes involve me trying to run up as far as I can and crouch behind some shit while they run out and kill as much as possible, then I can pick off the rest. I'm feeling pretty accomplished every time I push through to the next checkpoint, but I don't see myself finishing; it's way too tedious and the cheapness is beyond irritating.

maxy · « **Reply #807 on:** September 19, 2010, 07:45:16 AM »

what a bunch of pussies...

I'm playing on legendary solo with 5 skulls enabled and i kick ass...nothing can stop me,not even 5-6 "uber" elites that need like 3 fully charged plasma bolts to drop shields

Use your abilities and don't waste ammo pointlessly,just be a true Spartan like Master Chief,attack and attack ruthlessly

Yeah I couldn't imagine legendary. It seems the damage you take vs. the damage you dish out on heroic is already a little BS.

Going to finish the campaign, would like to play some MP with you guys afterwards.

I'm on the final mission on co-op legendary and on the 4th mission on a solo run on legendary. The solo run is annoying. And I haven't even gotten to some of the really hard parts yet. Its enjoyable in a perverse way like hitting your dick with a hammer is but that's about it. There is really no reason to do it unless you are an achievement whore. It's not very fun and you have to play in a very specific way.

Legendary Solo isnt even that bad. You just have to take your time. It gets much easier when you start dealing with the monkeys, since they dont have shields.

Only part of co-op I got pissed off at was the Defend Jun level.

just beat the game.
pretty good.
didn't like how they retconed a lot of the events so blatantly tho. especially since MS is trying to push the Fall of Reach novel a long side this. The stories don't match up really.
the final defense is kinda ridiculous. way too many Brutes thrown at you far too many times. there's a moment where you're attacked by a shit load including one with a hammer and you're like "fuck" then... they throw more at you. then the AA gun sequence was shitty.

other than that it's a pretty fun campaign. I really like that they made the Elites seem invincible. the encounter early on where they steal the dude was great.

game is fairly equal to Halo 3.
Halo > Halo 3 = Halo: Reach

Halo: Reach will support co-operative campaign matchmaking, you just haven't seen the feature yet because Bungie doesn't want people getting the story spoiled on the first mission they play.

But in a couple of weeks, there should be enough of a gap since release that most folks will have seen the campaign plot points on their own already, Bungie writes in its weekly update. Expect the playlists to come in early October on the first matchmaking update for reach. Other game types and Forge maps will be available as well.

That said, the potential for spoilers still exists if you hook up with a more advanced team. Missions may be vetoed like any map in standard multiplayer, but if the majority overrules your desire to play a part of the campaign well ahead of your singleplayer progress, you'll have no choice to bail out before it begins.

In summary, "If you're worried about spoilers make sure you finish campaign before jumping into this playlist!" Bungie writes.

No specific date was given, just "early October."

also first mythbusters on Reach.

I thought the score was good, never been a big fan of Halos 'epic' scores. I appreciated the subtler, more sombre approach to Reach. Wish there was more electro though - the track that drops when you first meet the Zealots in Winter Contingency

Sure just call out when or make a thread for a boresquad night. I was playing in a party with like 8 or 9 a few days ago with beezy and his friends. And yes this is my favorite Halo. Its seems to be the one that got everything closest to right as a complete package. That's not to say its perfect or there aren't things that bug me about it. It just seems to get more right overall than the other entries.

This Halo finally brought it all back to me. Multi-player is pretty fun
