Halo 4

Also, Promethean Knights aim dodge like a b*tch. You could be trying to snipe one, and soon as you pull the trigger, they hop to one side.

Well off to some war games

Finally got around to playing Spartan Ops, they are a lot of fun.

I tried some spartan ops but I just get kicked off live after a while for some reason when I try it online.

Is it just me or is it ridiculous 343 didn't add the search option? If you wanted to look for people with a good connection, similar skill and/or language, tough luck. You're just gonna have to get used to the lag and all these loadout screens popping up in the middle of your session that 343 Industries promised would not happen 😐

It's real annoying having to always be thinking I might get kicked out of a match if I'm in a game with friends or in Spartan ops. There are only 3 games that do that to me, left 4 dead 2, halo reach, and now halo 4.

For the most part I haven't had this problem it has hit me a couple of times.

Beganmy legendary solo run...so far so good. Not too annoying....yet.

I dislike the fact that the only reason the Prometheans are hard to fight on Legendary is because all the Prometheans weapons are garbage against them, and the game makes sure to supply you with only Promethean weaponry when you encounter them.

Artificial difficulty in games makes me sick.

Agreed. I had trouble against them on heroic because the supressor and bolshot weapons are lame.

The Promethean weapons aren't that bad against the Prometheans themselves, though it makes sense they would have at least some resistance to their own weaponry.

Far as campaign, the Boltshot and Suppressor (more-so the latter) are mainly good for taking down the Promethean's shields, but I mainly use the Lightrifle against them, in addition to the sentry armor ability if I have it on me. The Incineration Cannon (shaped like a Spartan Laser) one-shots any Promethean Knights, and the Binary Rifle (if headshotting) and Scattershot two-shots them.

For some reason I find myself switching between the Suppressor and Storm Rifle a lot when it comes to online. mmm

I recommend switching to Nemesis's Nemesis aka the DMR/BR/LightRifle for online. Can still use the automatics as secondaries and you can defend/attack at a distance with the rifles.

As for the campaign....it has not been half as bad as I thought it was going to be. I suppose all these years of Haloing, and the seasons playing firefight count for something. All I do is make sure I camp/horde any ammo supplies and try to position myself where I cannot be easily overwhelmed(which can be hard given 5 grunts at once can totally killa ya lol) The Lightrifle is quite good against all opponents. Was surprised when 3 or 4 shots managed to drop an elite's shield. Not even the DMR/BR can make that claim.

Nothing beats the brutality of Halo 2's Sniper Alley in Delta Halo.

So just found out the Rank Cap is 70. I pray for those who already reached it. I've played a lot and I'm no where near it.

played through chapters 1-5 with a friend on Co-Op. Don't think you can really argue that this isnt the best halo campaing yet, except arguably the first for introducing lots of the unique elements of the series that makes it so good, but its definiterly the best of the sequels. Best graphics, mpost dynamic campaign, and generally the most polished. Story is pretty standard for a Halo hgame, which is a shame becasue the opening cinematic was AMAZING and or a second I thought the story and cinematics for the entire game would be on that level, but then it reverted back to typical Halo story. Still need to play the rest though.

It's been a good day. Completed the monthly challenge to win 117 matches, got the Challenger achievement for completing 25 challenges, unlocked the Master Assassin commendation and reached 48 in rank.

Well in addition to automatics, I mostly use the magnum pistol anyway to kinda make up for whatever precision weapons I'm not using (unless I'm on Ragnarok, in which case I use plasma pistol for all the people using Banshees, Ghosts, or Mantises), and the Dexterity that allows for quicker reloads definitely makes it more effective. Starting to use precision weapons more every now and then though, mostly the Carbine at the moment.

Yeah, agreed.

70 huh? Well I heard 50's the minimum to be able to prestige to one of the other two Spartan classes. Don't know for sure if that's correct though.

I got the achievement for completing 25 challenges a couple days ago (only acheevos I'm missing now are the ones for the remaining Spartan Ops episodes that have yet to be released), but goddamn. Wish I had half that amount of spare time you got there like I did during Reach, then I'd be right up around there and have the monthly challenge done too, but I'm only rank 39 at the moment. 🙁

39 is decent.

I'm about to hit 50. Will let ya know how the whole specialization thing works.

Holy crap is this screen stretched.
