That's if my memory doesn't betray me; the story/characters where so god damn bleak, and I was so put off by all those trying_too_hard dramatic moments, that I found myself not paying to much attention and thus... I barely remember much about it. |
no that's Jorge. Jun is the sniper guy |

That's not the sniper guy. He's the shotgun dude.

i'm not anti-halo or hating i just dont see why people lose their minds over this. the team a.i. is fucking retarded. i was honestly surprised that they weren't holding cell phones and texting the whole time because that's how far their heads had to have been up their ass. honestly what was the purpose of the companion a.i. in the game? most times it doesn't do shit. yea yea i know they are mostly place holders but jeez i mean it's just stupid the way they stand there and dont do jack shit most of the time.
i also really dont understand why in the year 2500ish that mankind is still using bullets and to add insult to it the clips still barely hold any. spend more time reloading then i do anything else. and why does it take so many damn bullets to kill some of those guys? i'm on the last level on legendary right now, almost to the last section of it and i swear i shot some of those guys 30 - 40 times in the heads before their shields dropped and i was able to kill them.
game does have pretty visuals though from an artistic standpoint. the huge ships in the sky, etc that stuff is pretty awesome. i also found a glitch on the last level where you can use the spartan laser an unlimited amount of times for a certain section. oh well back to getting my ass kicked 500 times.

heheh i meant the first time i played through on heroic. my bad for not clarifying. i know heroic is supposed to be difficult too but damn up close you might empty 2 clips in one of those guys. shotgun is a different story. 2 - 3 good hits seems to take down anything.
it took me about 8 hours yesterday to play 8 and 9 on legendary and most of that was spent on 9 and it took that long because of the A.I. not helping out. i was absolutely stuck with no ammo and just kept going head first. there were 3 of those guys in the white armor that juke and jive. i absolutely could not kill them and had burned all my ammo. emile wouldn't attack for shit so i finally managed to sneak past them and around the corner into 4 of those bastards with wrist shields and 2 of those giant bastards with armor that shoot the green shit. i only had a spartan laser and had picked up a shotgun by this point so i killed the 4 little fuckers and hid. emile FINALLY killed the 3 white armored guys and then i would pop up and hit the last 2 fuckers with the laser to kill them.
that's something i noticed was that if you kept pushing forward you could "drag" the a.i. counterpart into a situation where it would finally attack and help out but other than that they were pretty useless, at least in the later levels.

It has been a staple in the Halo series since the beginning that you are meant to mix and match your weapons.
Use covenant weapons to remove shields, and finish them off with human weapons. |

i kinda sorta gathered that but fuck man i hate most of the covenant weapons. aside from a few rifles i don't like any of their guns. it's all good tho - i feel like i've made it through the hardest part of the game on legendary. i finished up level 2 last night also and began 3. the last part i'm expecting trouble is level 7 but i figure the rest should be smooth sailing.

The Elites dodge too much for plasma charged shots and plasma riffles. Shotguns are great for closeups but if you get too close they'll fuck you up in no time. On other difficulty levels plasma rifles will melt their shield like butter, also on normal-heroic your shield can take more shots. On legendary it feels like you have a cardboard box for a shield, while their shield is in uber mode.
One grenade splash will kill you with full shield, while elites can take about 2 grenades to go down.
It's hard as fuck but still, is a nice challenge.

spot on with the shotgun. as long as it's those big stupid fuckers you can get away with it though. the dude with the gravity hammer being one of them that's easy to rape on legendary with it... those fuckers with the green laser being another.
about the shield though, oddly enough, on legendary i've found myself having to use less health. i guess because it forces you to hang back and play smart instead of running out head first and shooting.

Imho games on hard setting shouldn´t have the enemies take more bullets, they should get smarter instead.
In fact that´s what I thought differed halo from many others, in previous versions at least. Can´t compare in this, since I only played heroic.

let's say I suck and I'm playing on Legendary. If the level has you with an AI controller teammate, will they eventually kill everyone at each checkpoint if I hang back and chill for a couple of hours? Or does the AI just stand there and get shot the whole time?

i'd say its possible. i was in a similar situation and needed the companion a.i. to help (do the work, was out of ammo). he wouldn't attack so i managed to run through the area of fighting and then found a hiding place. since he was in the middle of the fight he ended up doing the work.

I'll be sure to hold onto the 'RUN' upgrade! forget shields!
