The customizability of Halo multiplayer was (and probably still is?) fantastic. Made a very fun game mode called "ninjahammer" in Halo 3 - one of the smallest maps, everyone is invisible with a gravity hammer and a magnum and infinite ammo. Motion tracker was enabled, but set to the minimum distance, so it would give you just enough warning to go "oh gently caress oh poo poo where are they". Also we made it a rule that you had to get the final kill with the magnum - getting the last kill via hammer or magnum melee put you into last place, with the winner then being the next-highest kills. Lots of tense creeping around until suddenly there is frantic action and a flurry of violence (that attracts anyone nearby, leading to more frantic action) gently caress, i wanna play some ninjahammer now

CzarChasm posted:I forget, why is Truth going to Earth? Does he know that the ARC is there and that it will fire off the rings? Does he still have a spark with him, or was the one in covenant possession the one that went with Tartarus? Or is he just leading the armada there to kill the poo poo out of humans? going off of vague memories: - the covenant already knows that earth is Very Important, which is why Regret went there in the first place (jumping the gun for personal glory) - Truth now has extra info from 343 (since Tartarus has been holding him for a while) - some symbolism about getting to the Ark to survive the Flood idk

i always try to stick the drone swarm with a grenade when they fly by (the one that's fleeing after you've armed the bomb). great way to get some easy points in arcade mode, too

odst troopers definitely throw grenades differently. seems to have much more of an arc to them, instead of just blasting them forward like chief does. your grenades' arc ends up looking a lot more like your allies' arc too, which is neat. still a lil frustrating when you're switching between games though

best level in halo mcc if you want to do the "complete levels really fast" weekly challenges. you don't have to kill anything or push any buttons, so it's pretty easy to just grab the ghost that's sitting before the first tunnel and boost through the whole level

and now the followup: this is the best mission for the "get X points" challenges. easy to hit 20k points on normal with a few skulls, or heroic with no skulls at all. also fast and fun!

I guess that means it wasn't good? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMxIjGjMJz0 throwing pistol is within the first two minutes, but the whole thing is a treat.

inverted for flight, or not, depending on the game and plane or w/e one of the reasons that halo reach is the best one is that it allows you to equip all the very silly multiplayer armour and shows it in the cutscenes. noble team misses their old noble six and then up rocks this fucko with spiked furry vambraces and a sword strapped to his back and a hooded plague doctor helmet and says he's the replacement

i always justified it as the radiation/emp knocking out the shields, and since kat took a while to put her helmet on afterwards the suit wasn't able to properly start charging the shields again. needs continuous surface area, something something, sci-fi is magic anyway

"do you have it"/"i have it" feels like it's an officially required response thing, like "you are relieved"/"i stand relieved"

SWORDFISHHH posted:That sort of makes sense except Dr Halsey is a civilian who doesn't play by the rules. imo that's because most of the rules are about things she doesn't care about at all, whereas this is something she cares about a lot, and using a formal procedure underscores that. really this is all just my headcanon, though Samovar posted:Also, I can only surmise that Emile must have magnetic buttcheeks on his armour what with him being able to sit on the ramp - with his legs OUTSIDE, mind you - of an accelerating plane and not getting thrown off. the armour is really fuckin heavy, so there's more friction maybe? i don't know physics

halo 4 is really great at a few things: - sound design of weapons, as mentioned upthread - there are several encounters you can just run past - sets everyone's expectations for any future halos

just a reminder that during all the solemn cutscenes on Reach you can look like this, if you want to alas you can't get all the super-goofy halo 3 armor, you can't look like this during Reach cutscenes  halo mcc is good
