Anyone else find it ironic Verb plays on normal because he thinks its the way "the dev intended for it to be played"

Even though the Heroic difficulty specifically say "the way the game was meant to be played"

:^
it literally doesn't, though

it only says that for halo 3--a game i haven't touched in years

so there is no way i could possibly know

LOOK WHAT YOU FUCKING DID BATCH.

NOW WE GOTTA DO THIS FUCKING SHIT ALL OVER AGAIN.

IT'S LIKE WE RESTARTED FROM THE CHECKPOINT ALL OVER AGAIN.

Except it only says that in Halo 3 and onwards.

Normal difficulty is the default in basically every game with a difficulty option. The text for Heroic difficulty means nothing, because you can play how you want.

Speaking of the music--I know, I know, I know that Marty's music is generally praised to high heavens, and everyone just loves to suck Marty's musical cock. But I'm sorry... I just can't get into this game's soundtrack. Either the music is laughably over-dramatic to almost cheesy extents, or completely unfitting for the scenario (there was this ethereal, atmospheric piece that was playing as I was fighting an army of grunts, jackals, and a zealot). And compositionally? It just doesn't impress me whatsoever. Sorry.

But yeah as big of a Halo fan as I am I also still find CE to be rather boring.

I imagine him holding down the fire button and flaying it around in a circle.

Halo CE's bullet spread is also retarded. You can do individual trigger pulls at the same RoF as holding the trigger down on Auto/Semi Auto weapons, and have each shot be just as accurate as the first.

See you Cowgirl,
Someday, somewhere
The assault rifle is actually good at suppressive fire and clearing rooms of elites and grunts..

It's actually one of the best weapons to have for fighting Flood because of it's spray. It knocks off body parts rather well.

Couldn't find a copy in any of those flea markets, unfortunately. Decided I would get a copy over at Amazon instead. Should be here in a week <_<

Looks like I won't get the game finished by August after all. Oh well.



Get halo 2 as well, if you can
I already have it. Didn't I mention this?

So are you going to gett a 360 if you decide to keep playing the series?
Ummmm, well, I'll have to if I plan on playing Halo 3, but that's gonna be a loooong time from now. Unless Halo 2's story is so amazing that I must get one immediately after beating it. So, we'll see.

how the fuck do you guys know which consoles I own/don't own, anyway

Will you read a couple of the books?
Ummmmm. No, probably not. I actually bought Fall of Reach, The Flood, and First Strike many years ago, for the sole purpose of looking cool to my friends <_<

Not that I'm not interested in the series lore, or anything--I am, but... I don't know. Books are books, games are games. Games happen to be interactive, and, well, fun. Books can kinda be a drag to read. Unless I'm actually learning something interesting or useful, I don't normally have the patience for them.

I guess I don't want to just flat-out say "no", so, consider that another "we'll see".

What I want to do is finish playing the games first--then I can start getting into all that other bullshit, if I so desire.

Don't think you did mention it.


Here's a list in order of release
Fall of Reach
Flood
First Strike
Ghosts of Onyx

The Cole Protocol

Contact Harvest

Evolutions (short story anthology) I and II

Glasslands
The Thursday War
Mortal Dictata

Cryptum
Primordium
Silentium

Broken Circle

New Blood

Hunters in the Dark

Saint's Testimony (Ebook novella)

Last light (September release)

Shadow of Intent (December Release)


Also the comics

Halo: The Graphic Novel
Halo: Bloodline (4 issues)
Halo: Helljumper (4 issues)
Halo: The Fall of Reach adaptation (4 issues)
Halo: Uprising (4 Issues)
Halo: Initiation (3 Issues)
Halo: Escalation (21 released, 24 planned total)


And the filmography
Legends (8 part anime series, available on YouTube)
Forward Unto Dawn
Infinity
Nightfall

There's also the reference books and the arg's and a bunch of other stuff, but I've already fine overboard

Every single other weapon does its job more efficiently. I understand how to use it.

Yes--I fire in short, controlled bursts, as recommended in the manual, rather than just holding the trigger.
And guess what? It still sucks.

Cry about it.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
When's the Silent Catographer post coming damnit.
oh, I was gonna wait until I had assault done, so I could have it be a twofer
but I guess that's out the window now lol

i'll post it tomorrow, no worries

it was my favorite level so far, i'll tell you that much
It's probably the best level overall.
I mean, there's segments of other levels that blow it away, but not the levels as a whole.

Yeah, it's best used at a range where the enemy takes up the entire reticule and just mowing them down, and it also works well for crowd control against the Flood. It'll take like 40 seconds to get a kill at medium ranges against an Elite, so it's generally better to use a Plasma Rifle.

Nah, it sounds like you literally just don't know how to use it right, or aim

I thought that, seeing as heaps of other people mentioned it by name, I'd be ok to do it too.

All of the guitar parts of Halo 2's soundtrack were ruined in the anniversary version. Which is a shame, because the rest of the new version is fantastic.

Eh. Fair enough.

didn't know just how much you knew of CE's story, and well...

the Flood are a massive game-changer.

Also, toexpand on the book thing from before. Have you been wondering where you're getting all of your guns and troops from? Because the novelisation only spends a couple of chapters on john's POV. Most of the book is set from the Covenant point of view and the marines who were conducting their own battles elsewhere.

So if you're wondering where you're resupplying and refuelling and such, it is explained. Just not in the game.
