This bane is too tard on heroic
>>744647848I remember the trick being to use the pistol as much as possible because it was a broken weapon.
ur gay and ur fuckin shit and gay lmao
>>744647848Every Hunter segment is harder, but the flood is significantly easier.
>>744647994You shoot the back off the hunters and there's a point on their back marked with silver.You one-shot them if you hit it with most guns.
>>744648450Well it didn't happen to me. I struggled with them the entire run.
>>744648472they added a magic little bit sorta between their shoulders where part of the armor will fall off after a couple shots then the exposed bit will let you instantly kill them, it's retarded
>>744648529>Rewarding game knowledge and skill>Retarded/v/ sucks ass
>>744647902in this the needler rifle felt faster to kill with so i stuck with that (outside of flood ofc). i kinda just wanna replay OG halo 1 to cleanse my palette though, this campaign feels like a shitty Reach mod. glad i pirated it lmfao
>>744648450I tried the aiming for the back thing a million times, it’s not with it. Just pump them full of assault rifle till they drop
>>744647902the magnum is heavily nerfed in this game. biggest downside is that the draw speed is much slower, to the point that elites have time to recover from the stun of an overcharged plasma pistol before you can draw and shoot the magnum, so the noob combo can be inconsistent
>>744648589I think that adding off-buttons to enemies is retarded, yeah.
>>744648657my strategy to deal with hunters is just to abuse doors, they are completely retarded when faced with doors, peeking with doors is one of the best ways to get them to stay still and prevent them from firing
>>744648690Every enemy has an "Off button" you fucking retard.
>>744648826You know what I mean.
>>744648632the weapons seem worse but the ai also seem worse, it's like everyone got dumber lol. i know a few weapons got buffed like the ar, but most weapons just feel bad to use. magnum and plasma pistol both got big nerfs, which is fair enough i guess, but idk why they had to nerf the shotty too
>>744647848Bane?
>>744647848lemme know when this is 20 bucks
>>744648680>elites have time to recover from the stun of an overcharged plasma pistol before you can draw and shoot the magnumliterally what the fuck were they thinking??
i feel like i got mandela'd into a universe where everyone calls the Halo 1 pistol the "magnum" now
>>744647848Play Gravemind and you'll regret your words and deeds.
>>744648450They refuse to expose their backs to me when playing solo so I just spam stickies and shoot their shins
>>744650365they were probably thinking the noob combo was too op and centralizing, which i guess is a fair argument. but they also slapped on more nerfs like a severe nerf to the lockon range of the overcharged plasma pistol (it could lockon outside of the red reticle range in the og)also speaking of the overcharged plasma pistol, holy hell the bug where enemy overcharged shots just randomly one hit kill you is so goddamn frustrating
>>744650689the problem with the noob combo wasn't the noob combo itself, it was that every other weapon was such shit that it was the only really viable option. why not just make the other weapons better instead of nerfing the noob combo?
>>744647848Nothing is harder than Cairo Station on Legendary
>>744650130>paying anything for this demake
>>744647848bane?
>>744650365>nooo you must suffer if playing a hard difficulty. No strategy allowed!
>>744651019Agreed. OG weapons required you to drain half a clip or more just to get the shield off, then they dive and hide for three seconds and it's recharged again.
>>744651614that's honestly what it feels like. any time i've played the halo games on regular, using anything but the noob combo or a few of the power weapons you come across (sniper, rocket launcher, etc.) just feels like you're wasting ammo on bullet sponge enemies. legendary is already difficult by making it so you die in a few hits. why do they have to compound it by making it feel like you're shooting a super soaker, which just isn't fun?
>>744651667i'm playing reach on legendary and there are a few parts that feel like straight up soft locks if you don't have the noob combo available. picrelated is particularly egregious.>one shots you>takes 3-5 rounds to kill a grunt
God damn tourists.It’s magnum on the jackals.Plasma pistol charge or plasma rifle on elite and jackal shields followed by a pistol shot to the head or AR.Needler or needle rifle on the brutes.SMG or AR on infector floods.Shotgun on combat form flood.Literally anything on carrier forms.Plasma grenade and rocket/fuel rod spam on hunters and pure form flood. Also if the hunter’s back is broken just shoot the weak spot with a magnum or AR once and it will instantly die.Sentinel beam or charged plasma pistol on the sentinels.Charged plasma pistol on grunts or a pistol of the head or just use an AR.EMP with plasma pistol on shade turrets followed by a plasma grenade or just use a pistol to headshot the turret user.Rocket on wraiths and banshees since the game gives you plenty of ammo every time you have them.EMP plasma shot + hijack a ghost.As for the sniper, literally just shoot anybody. Grunts, jackals, elites. It doesn’t matter, you will find a plasma pistol lying around somewhere to kill whatever’s left over with ease.The plasma pistols owns the game. Combine it with the magnum and the game is a breeze. Piss easy pisstol game.
>>744648680>>744650365Play the original, you retarded reach zoomers.
>bane
Jump over the hunters in this game instead of running around them. Ur welcome.
>>744652015i played CE when it came out on the xbox, and literally just finished replaying it before starting reach. outside of the flood levels where you want an AR/shotgun, the noob combo is more viable in CE than any other game in the series. go get raped by a pack of niggers.
>>744648680>>744650365>>744650689>biggest downside is that the draw speed is much slowerbefore some nerd replies that the animation is the same length as the originals, the reason it feels off its because it doesn't let you pull the trigger as fast as the original
>>744650689It locks on when you zoom. Sane with the needler’s heatseek. Use the zoom old man.
>>744652015i have played both the og and mcc. if i didn't, how would i be able to tell the magnum was nerfed?
>>744647848Just get good, bro.
>>744652167>the noob combo is more viable in CE than any other game in the seriesonly if you're playing on legendary, if you're actively using the noob combo on heroic or normal what the fuck is wrong with your life?
>>744647848>>744652040Bane?!
>>744651981I don't carry all of those weapons around with me, dude. I can only carry two. So I just melee everyone to death.
shill thread kys nigggers
>>744652167No way it's better than in H2
>>744653675only if you're counting battle rifle/plasma pistol as a variation of the "noob combo"
>>744651981magnum sucks dick in a direct confrontation with jackals since the bullet magnetism makes shots aimed at the hand hit the shield instead. it is pretty good if you can get them to lower the shield or face away from you since it's usually a onetap kill. for some reason the bullet magnetism isn't as strong on the plasma pistol and you can reliable shoot their hands with itthe plasma pistol does own the game, but that's also a problem because it gets old and incredibly boring fast. the weapon balance really needs another pass
>>744656151The easiest enemies on a low difficulty in the first level. In actual higher difficulties, Elites will rush you the moment you try to turtle.Blue Elites are the lowest ranked one. The higher ranked versions have more shield, more HP, are more aggressive, they do not miss, and won't flinch.
They expect one of us in the layoffs brother
>>744656523That was on legendary. Actually, maybe putting it on easy would make their "stagger" long and the noob combo viable. Because on legendary they recover faster than the magnum's draw.
>>744654360The PP and any precision weapon is the noob combo. It just happens that the only normal precision weapon in CE is the magnum.
>>744656151Me every time I do CE on legendary. PP only for half the game. Add in shotgun once you reach the Flood.
>>744656812Nope, basically the same on normal.>forgot about the hud/inverted aiming tutorial and had to sit through it to compare
>>744647848This series should have never left Xbox I swear.
>>744659098What xbox? Microsoft has given up on the console market.
>>744647902Not the magnum pistol. The plasma pistol is what's broken in OG Halo. It has no penalty against flesh, stripes shields effortlessly, is 100% accurate with no bloom, and it can kill sentinels with a single charged shot.The main reason to keep the magnum is for sniping clumps of grunts and jackels and for one-shotting hunters.>>744648632The needler is FANTASIC against Flood in Campaign Evolved, though. The super combine explosion gibs them, preventing reanimation and damaging any nearby Flood.
>>744649950>, it's like everyone got dumberThey did, and half of the retards were replaced by jeets who are genuinely low iq trash
the state of Halo is extremely painful

>>744659217Xbox isnt just the console anymore, its a blanket name for microsoft's game division.
