Plasma weapon + pistol shot to the head

I haven't seen any pistols in a long time. I guess they just weren't available in those levels.

I meant when you have one. Sorry.

Also run things over when possible to take advantage of CE's terrible acceleration physics.

It's not the acceleration physics. They just couldn't program the game to detect I your moving at a certain speed and what damage to deal and instead said fuck it and made it so any vehicle impact will insta kill an enemy. Or friendly. Or you.

Na. If you hear a grunt scream "grenade", it means they're throwing one. Not that there's already one at your feet. That's your que to pack your shit up and get outta dodge essentially.

Basically, dance like your life depended on it.

I wouldn't know where to run, is the thing. I might run right into it, because I can't tell where the fuck it is. Sometimes.

Then its your fault for turning your back to the enemy

but if you type "xbox 1"...

Are you going to play Halo 2 as well?

Fair enough. It tightens up the vehicle mechanics, definitely. And it provides some more covenant story, too.

Halo is like Star Wars. The first one was a good plot that wrapped itself up nicely while leaving itself open for a sequel. Then the second one comes along and ramps things up even more then the third one comes along and introduces budget wookies fighting stormtroopers in a miraculous key down.

Then the prequel comes along and is shit.

Then the franchise gets taken over by another company and starts putting out some pretty good content (I think E7 looks amazing) and lifts the franchise up from what it's previous owner left. Who then goes and makes kingdom of the crystal skull and watches as his fanbase crumbles.

The analogy is scarily accurate.

i liked the prequels though

Reach is actually bad though

Oh ya. Taking all bets.

Verb is gonna like the shotgun in CE. Callin it. If he liked the one in Half-Life he'll like the one here if we're talking about stupidly OP.

B30 is my favorite level in Halo 1.

also, verb, halo was meant to be played on Heroic iirc.

And Halo CE is pretty brutal even on Heroic.

In Halo 2 onwards, the Plasma Grenade makes a loud hissing sound when you are near it so if one goes flying at you, you'll be able to hear it.

It also lights up really bright when it is about to explode so you have some time to avoid them... granted you didn't get stuck by one of course.

Holy shit, I completely forgot about this. I've absolutely lost it several times in MP, upon seeing some poor sap stand too close to a Vehicle being flipped/melee'd/moved slightly in some way, causing immediate death.
