Some of my fondest gaming memories were getting halo 3 a week early from tesco and tearing shit up online. Makes me sad that I'll likely never have that again.
Struggling to find a match, but house move means net is back and I don't have packet loss out the wazoo. Actually have a spare hour or so too. Rust in coming.
Just found out i haven't completed every MCC mission on heroic some are only normal. Wtf is wrong with me. Only one course of action available to me. Play through all again on heroic. Anybody want to co-op some?
I literally unlocked my Photobucket account. I managed to guess a password from 2012, I feel like I should get some sort of Achievement for that. And this is it of sorts.
The moment me, Hulka and TreeFinger double lasered and sniped, all at the same time three n00bs who thought they could get away with our flag. I think we had to put our pads down for a minute after this because none of us knew we had power weapons and none us knew we were targeting the 'Hog.
Nah. Halo 3 is best by quite a stretch. Perfectly paced and not too long.
The main problem with Reach was those god fucking awful armour abilities. Bungie's biggest cock up imo.
Halo 3's equipment items were the most perfect addition to the gunplay. Every piece had some tactical use in both MP and the campaign and were stuck a laugh to play around with.
Bubble shields, land mines and grav lifts were a blast - especially with vehicles involved.
I have only used the sprint armour ability, that's all you need. For MP Halo 5 has the best mix abilities, sprints and thrusters. Just done an awesome reach mission where you have to get to top of one of the AA guns and take out sword elite
Reach is the most dramatic, even though it's non canon, it's an aces campaign. They all have numerous high points so it's hard to choose a favourite. I've played them all god knows how many times and I'd say I'm the biggest Halo nut you could meet, and my choice would go against the grain with 4 being the best campaign. Most balanced arsenal, best audio and visual design, updated AI routines, and I don't mind the Prometheans, they fit their description from the universe perfectly in looks and behaviours. MP let it down, had great mechanics but lacked good maps etc, they rectified that and more in 5 though.
When you get to the first promethean bit in 4 it's horrible. Heart sinks. I think they are better in 5 don't hate em so much. Don't particularly enjoy fighting flood. Just need covenant. Seriously Reach is awesome i recommend you all play it again.
