What do you mean "taken from the game." I actually found that it was much harder to hit space pirates than elites. The space pirates actually move, doge, and use battle tactics, unlike the elites the only form of intelligence I have seen them show in game is taking cover behind the same freaking wall over and over. When I start rushing at them, they just take my bullets.
You also over estimate the abilities of the elites. The elites would take more than "a few rounds" as you put it. The pirates would kick their asses even without that intelligence boost. I would hate to think what would happen to the elites if the pirates did have it.
Still yet to hear anyone tell me 1 advantage at space pirate has...
I've played MP and MPE... I enjoyed the game but it wasn't a challenge, you can easily strafe around SP and they don't stand a chance... and I played the game on Hard... Still too easy to kill things...
While Halo isn't a challenge on easy or normal, Hard to legendary provide a challenge...
Elites have shields... There swords could desacrate a SP and there grenades could kill a SP instantly.. and I believe that Elites are stronger and have better reactions then SP... Still if someone wants to tell me how strong and fast a SP is there more then welcome..
Till then I'm gonner presume your gonner backpat each other some more, and not raise any points...
We have constantly attempted to tell you the space pirates' strengths, but you have chosen to ignore them. What makes you so sure that a sword or grenade could destroy a space pirate instantly. I hope your not counting on the elites' aim, which turns out to be subpar. And I doubt that there shields could measure up to sustained fire from space pirate technology.
And shouldn't we be comparing Metroid Prime and Halo on the same difficulties? Why would we compare Halo on Legendary to Metroid Prime on normal? Even then the only thing that changes on Legendary is that the strength of the elites' weapons increases and they don't dies as fast, they don't use any new tactics.
I only played MP/MPE on hard... I don't know how easy MP is on easy but Its got to be a walk in the park... Hard wasn't that challenging... But then again I know there are worse gamers then me!
Space pirates don't take more then a few shots to kill... They don't regen shields or life, elites and SP guns are very similar, the elites have better strength and reflexes, There aiming is about the same...
I don't think MP has an easy mode, but I could be wrong. And the Space Pirates have much better reflexes than the elites at least they dodge your attacks. And the elites can also be killed in a few shots using a sniper rifle, plasma pistol,and sword, and one shot using a rocket launcher.
I don't own a gamecube... I played my friends... He told me to play it on hard as he knew I was good at halo...
Elite are regarded as having strength close to master chief and reflexes a bit below...
MC strength is around 25ton (worst case) 40+(best case)
MC relexes with cortana are around about the speed of sound...
yep.. its right up there, along side the time when chief charged up a genki dama and went super saiyan 3... threw thier home planet into the sun with his bare hands
Yes, you can truly get a feel for MP by simply playing your friend's gamecube for an hour. And being good at Halo doesn't necessarily mean you will be good at MP. And why are you giving estimates of MC's strength? Shoudn't you be able to find his exact strength using the book. If he was that strong I doubt that it would have taken such an effort for him to drag the bomb into the elevator at the beginning of Halo 2. He should've been able to pick it up. Since the books took place before the game, the cutscenes should've been able to reflect the Chief's abilities, like MP does for Samus. And nowhere in the books does it say that the Chief has reflexes at the speed of sound. Maybe your mixing him up with Sonic.
I got very far in both games... I'm 70% through the first (friend lost the disc) and 80% through the second... I think I have a good enough view on the SP's....
What a supprise satsujin came to slander the book...(still angry about the trouncing you got???) You should look up the halo script floating around on the internet... I think you will be pleased with what you read..
I think you will find MC dranged that bomb with 1 hand... His exact strength is undetermined.. thats why I gave a range.. I know that such incidents like lifting a tank and draging the bomb don't say he can do 100 tons.. but punching through thick concrete walls, and breaking titanium armor can't be done by some minor weight lifter... the elites have comprable strength...
When he first doned his suit he could dodge bullets... bullets move at the speed of sound... (this is his original suit, he then got several upgrades, and then got cortana who speeds them up even more) Elites reactions are slower so I would put them bellow the speed of sound...
Anyone wana provide a snipit of info on why a SP has any advantages over an elite?? or you guys just gonner keep nut swinging???
