Re: Halo: Reach

I need to mess with Forge. Sounds like a lot of fun.

How does power lock work?

What exactly do you mean?

Basically you slam the ground and become immune to everything but cant move.

to add on to this, once you release the armor lock you emit a small EMP blast. If an enemy is close enough to it the EMP blast will drain his shield, and sometimes if the enemy has no shield it will kill them.

Re: Halo: Reach

Just finished the campaign on legendary.

Spoiler

Man Noble Six deserved a better death than the one he received... the ending kind of made me sad though. I knew how the game would end, but watching each member of Noble Team die and watching how each died kind of got to me. I guess this is a sign of a very well told story.

As for Legendary difficulty goes, it wasn't all too difficult except for some parts here and there (pretty much the major battle scenes). One thing you have to remember when doing a Halo campaign (especially on Legendary) is you have to determine when to go and bring the fight to the enemy or when to just sit back and pick them off one buy one. I found myself numerous times during the campaign with low ammo and having to literally kill one enemy and run away while picking up some random weapon off the ground. Really challenging that's for sure.

If there is one tip I can give to people who are doing the campaign on legendary I'd say these two things:

1) Use Covenant weapons against Covenant Elites with shields. Trust me, their shields go down A LOT faster with plasma, than with bullets.

2) USE THE PLASMA PISTOL OFTEN!!! It saved my life more times than one. Being able to pretty much take down an elite shield in one charge then pulling out my secondary and getting the easy kill really helps in clearing out rooms full of Elites.

Man, finished up the campaign on normal yesterday. One of the best games i've played in years. I usually don't care much for single player FPS campaigns, but this was the exception. I played through the first 3 Halo's just to say I did, but this one was something special. Also, the last level after the credits is one of the coolest levels I have ever played. Trying to survive as long as you can with no backup, knowing that you just set off the chain of events leading to Halo 1, and knowing that you are going to die. Just awesome. The cutscene that played after was equally awesome.

I have yet to play either. What's safe havens?

Well after a week with the game I gotta say that Boneyard, Hemorrhage and Sword Base are my favorite maps. I've only played Powerhouse ONCE since I had the game.

I'm guessing it's places on the map where non-infected hide/camp so that when the infected come, it's nearly impossible to get the non-infected.

There are points on map that uninfected can go to and be invincible. It spawns randomly arround the map every so often.

I like that part and all but......

I was really hoping they would show the Covanent glass the whole planet at the end just like in the book. Dr. Halsey makes mention of it in the last scene but scenery around the aged helmet looks normal....like nothing ever happened. I was hoping the see the planet-killing devastation.

Re: Halo: Reach

Forge is really amazing. I'm basically making my own little city with its own moon. What a quality game this is. Definitely what I would be expecting from this generation.

Re: Halo: Reach

Man, Bungies website is just as impressive as the game. I might have to upgrade to Bungie Pro.

Check out my stats. I'm decent. *shrugs*
