well its also not a good idea to melee flood carrier forms but that doesnt mean theyre hard to kill. elites were smart in halo 2. brutes have always been dumb.
I have just been looking at the Reach Intel section for about 15 minutes and didn't even notice the change to b.net! -- I sort of kind of know the whole halo story now! YouTube- Halo in 5 Minutes (sort of)
Halo: Reach now has more pre-orders than black ops for 360 and ps3 does combined! VGChartz - Please Take A Moment To Visit Our Sponsor This makes me happy.
Why the **** would you melee a brute in halo 2? Thats a terrible Idea. I would say brutes were harder to kill simply because you couldn't hit them with a plasma pistol lilke you could do to elites. I shudder to think of how hard halo 2's campaign would have been, especially cairo station, without the plasma pistol. However, they were both hard as hell to kill. The brutes in halo 3 were absolutely retarded and extremely easy to kill. Buggers are still the biggest pain in the ass to me though. Does anyone know if buggers are in campaign? I know they aren't in firefight. To above, very nice.
Okay people who apparently take things too literally, I'm talking comparison wise. I don't go around meleeing everything to kill it, I'm speaking strictly in terms of how much it takes to kill a brute in halo 2 vs halo 3/odst. On easy difficulty in Halo 2 it takes about 5 melees to kill them, halo 3 on easy it takes about 3.
well that is not a very accurate comparison to make, the halo 2 melee was weaker. one beatdown only took down about half of a spartan's shields, unless you jumped. and it still didnt completely take them down then.
I thought the plasma pistol was relatively useless in Halo 2's campaign. After playing combat evolved on Legendary, Halo 2 was honestly not that hard. Seriously, five plasma rifle shots can kill you. Combine that with teams of three or four elites, and you're spamming nades and green homing devices quite a bit, to the point where it's not really that fun anymore, just difficult. That said, I hope the game's a little harder this time around. Halo 3 seemed a bit too easy; possibly because the brutes didn't use plasma weapons. With elites back, and now having the plasma repeater, I think we can safely assume it'll be better
plasma repeater is multiplayer only. but ive seen live streams of a leaked game on legendary, and it is most certainly harder than halo 3. one elite zealot dual wielding plasma rifles would kill the guy in literally about a second or less. it took him about an hour to kill that one elite. he wasnt the greatest player, but still.
Halo 2's campaign on legendary was the hardest of them all. I'v done H1 and H3 both legendary solo in like 4-5ish hours, Halo 2 i couldn't do by myself, and in coop if one player died you reverted. Halo 2's AI was very aggressive and they were amazing shots with the plasma rifles, and do you remember the Jackal snipers that could kill you in 1 hit? I honestly don't know what your talking about saying H2 legendary wasn't difficult.
If you ran through halo 2s campaign without ever using a plasma pistol, then I comment you because you found a ridiculous amount of ammo. 5 plasma rifle shots in halo 2 killed you as well. Halo 1 was not that hard. Reach Heroic is supposed to be like halo 3 legendary. Agreed. The only way to kill those snipers was to die and memorize where they all were. The brutes were a pain as well. I think Reach will be on par with halo 2, or I hope it will. There will be no flood though so thats nice. Thats another reason why halo 2 was hard. You couldn't melee or use plasma weapons on them.
Just logged into Amazon and saw that my price went down by $5, because the Release-Date Shipping for my Halo Reach Console bundle went down to $0.99. Nice.
Over 10+ of my friends are all going to the midnight release, and where will I be? Sleeping, getting ready for school at 6 in the morning. All class i'm going to get retarded texts like, "OmG, this iz so awesome". I hate college.
EB Games rang about and hour ago asking if I'd like to attend the midnight release for Reach. I said no. On Tuesday, I'm going to try to convince my mum into letting me come home early from school due to "feeling sick" after I do some test for my retail class that goes for an 1.5 hours.
My xbox has completely 100% broken. Four days before Reach's release. Great. EDIT: to stay on topic, I'll say more stuff. I really hope Reach is harder than Halo 3, that was pretty easy (except for Cortana on Legendary, solo). ODST was a breeze, and I just waltzed through that game on Legendary. Reach probably will be a lot harder.
Damn that sucks... I guess my situation isnt a whole load better. My disk drive wont detect disks unless you leave the xbox on for an hour (or more) and then try the disk drive. Campaign. I can imagine its going to be similar difficulty on normal and easy as halo 3, but much harder on heroic and legendary.
