[QUOTE=Legolas;23987868]Which one is that? Is it the all people in ghosts on the last level with Iron on Legendary?[/QUOTE] Yeah. I can at least get the infinite splaser.

Problem with those campaign vidmasters is the fact that Halo 3 and ODST campaigns frame rates drop so badly on on Co-op. Also Ive done the anual run a few times.

I am suddenly reminded of my two days of playing the Reach beta and the maximum trolling also known as Armor Lock Someone locks in front of you? No panic, you lock next to him! You can blow his shields when he emerges! Shit, can't dodge that rocket? No panic, you just lock! Rocket deflected at the shooter. I wish I hadn't been using a guest account, since I had one brilliant "assist" where a friendly sniper accidentally shot at me but the bullet deflected off my armor lock and got him a double kill on Invasion That aside Jetpack > rest

When I have some time I'll go after some Vidmaster achievements. I have to write an essay. :arghfist::saddowns:

[QUOTE=fish puncher;23988131]Dammit nevermind. I probably can't do the Live campaign achievements. I lag so fucking much.[/QUOTE] Its nothing serious you should still give it a try.

Anyone else planning on doing the campaign alone and on legendary?

I'm quite curious about Halo's slogan, Combat Evolved. Now what exactly is the combat evolved about? The combat tactics in the game is more run and gun and bash and trash and hijack enemy vehicle. Sounds like brute tactics to me. The slogan was never explained

[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;23988176]When I have some time I'll go after some Vidmaster achievements. I have to write an essay. :arghfist::saddowns:[/QUOTE] Why do you have an essay? And okay, I'll go for them. I call infinite splaser, though. Although I may die a few times. I'll practice by myself a few times before so I can get it right.

New page requires pageking content. :colbert:

Hey, Zezibesh, you seem like a cool dude. Can I add you for some Reach when it's out? :v: Damn it I wanted to automerge this post. :argh:

[QUOTE=Trooper-guy1;23988305]Anyone else planning on doing the campaign alone and on legendary?[/QUOTE] I thought about especially since there's an achievement for it but it will probably ruin my first experience with the story.

I think I'll just do it on normal first and legendary later.

[QUOTE=BCell;23988351]I'm quite curious about Halo's slogan, Combat Evolved. [/QUOTE] Bungie also ask this question. It was microsofts idea to put that it.

[QUOTE=Legolas;23988435]Back then it was somewhat combat evolved. Big firefights, recharging shields, amazingly well done vehicular combat right next to on foot combat and more.[/QUOTE] That's true in terms of FPS perspective but now when I look back at it, the game's mechanics would seem entirely out of place in real life(only if you ignore the sci-fi part like recharging shield) I mean have you seen the way they handle their weapons? I know HALO series will NEVER HAVE IRON SIGHTS cause kids are too god damn lazy to aim

Looks like we need a new thread soon. Also the SMG has ironsights you just cant use them..... Who needs ironsights when you got a HUD built into your brain.

Yea, I heard Gameinformer talking about it in an interview, besides just the name "Halo" on a box wouldn't sound as good.

I haven't read any of the books or anything, but I'm guessing the suit, or more specifically the helmet, has some kind of aiming help that pretty much let's the spartan shoot from the hip without loss in accuracy?

Post limit was raised to 5,000.

Oh.....good.

So no new thread for another 75 or so pages.

Plus if it's the 26th century, why are the humans are still using a pump action shotgun?

[QUOTE=BCell;23988721]Plus if it's the 26th century, why are the humans are still using a pump action shotgun?[/QUOTE] even better.........if its the 26th century why are the humans still using cars with wheels and weapons with bullets:why not lasers and hovercraft and all that futuristic shit

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23988631]Marines have implants in their head which work the same way as the helmets HUD does.[/QUOTE] why do ODSTs have reflex sights then What about EMP don't tell me they didn't think about that It's odd, really. The MA5 and variants have no iron sights. Every gun should have iron sights just in case.

The only thing they have going for themselves that beats ballistic munitions is the speed and accuracy. You need to spend far less energy to propel a bullet to a target than to shoot a similar sized laser hole into someone.

Maybe they make em without sights so its harder for the innies to use.
