the way the game plays is so much more fun now!

juking kills. like it did in halo CE.

nades are now proper tools of death, meaning you dont have to dual wield and spray to kill and can use more advanced tactics.

the pistols arent as retardedly brutal now, and require aiming.

jumping yields much better rewards than before, and is now essential to survival in the higher rankings.

and the new maps kick ass.

Jumping yeilds much better rewards than before? Dude...Since when was JUMPING part of the Halo universe? That is what set Halo:CE apart from other FPS's. You didn't have to jump around like an idiot to avoid death..No it's a necessity....

Pistols are just as brutal man, their range has just dropped..That's the only diff...

Nades are now proper tools of noobification. Any jackazz can throw 8 grenades 30 feel away from you.....But they still kill you...
A more advanced tactic doesn't really consist of shoot shoot grenade hide shoot shoot grenade....

The Grenades were fine as they were, if you could use them before THEN you had skill.

and I swear to god the Melee has to be the GAYEST upgrade ever. I mean..I love the shotgun/sniper/etc/etc melee...That's good...
but the pistol being able to drop your sheilds completely from one to the head? And you can kill someone with one punch if they don't have sheilds? Come on now, that's just stupid...

And why doesn't the brute shot have a 1 hit kill affect? I mean...It's a 20 inch metal blade....If 1 Punch can kill you, how come 1 slash with a blade can't?

That I agree 100%. That is all people do now it seems. SO if you dont have a shotgun up close they will just melee you instantly. I honestly dont like that either. Seems like even dual SMGS are nothing against a melee attack. Oh well im just happy theres no cheating so far in over a week. I cant wait until they drop the contesting. That is rediculous people sitting around 20 minutes looking for some guy hiding in a corner. :lol:
 
well I like jumping around like an idiot avoiding death. you should try it in Halo CE. works wonders if you know how to aim while moving.
 
Dude...Halo CE was aiming...Not jumping..If you could AIM you didn't have to jump... Jumping is retarded and it is what makes most FPS's VERY annoying..."Oh you're in a firefight? JUMP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.." How does that make ANY sense?

No I'm a 2 now, I used my 1337 skills for a while yesterday :)

Its strange now some games you win easy other games you just get owned. It'll prolly take a week or so to even itself out again.

BTW - The strength of the melee attacks now is much too strong.
 
My girlfriend and I played big team battle for about 3 hours last night and I am a level 8 and she is level 7. Only saw 1 new map in the playlist. I am finally getting the hang of the sniper. I just started using it about 2 weeks ago and last night I ended up with 28 kills-20 medals-10 headshots. I was very proud of this considering I just started using the sniper gun. Nothing makes you feel better than shooting the gunner out of a moving warthog. :)
I agree the Melee attacks are just rediculous. That is all people do up close. Its like watching a boxing match.
So far I do not like team slayer on Coagulation. Mabey it will grow on me but for now im not enjoying it.
The Wraith and Spectre's in a few of the levels is a nice change.
 
Melee isn't too strong. No, what happened before was that it was almost too weak. Hell, it probably isn't strong enough in comparison to what else he can do, anyway! MC can flip a damn TANK, if that were to hit anything vaguely human, it would cave in its damn skull. But, since it would be annoying as hell if one melee hit kill, it's now at least two(One, with the Brute Shot, if you jump. It IS the strongest melee weapon).

No...the sword is still the strongest melee weapon. the Melle is too strong, Anytime you're in a firefight and the guy with a SMG is the victor vs a guy with a SMG/PR doesn't make ANY sense. Yeah, he can flip a tank so he's strong. But he can fall from 1000 stories in the air and not get hurt, which means he's pretty tough, which doesn't account for the SMG using 24 rounds and a melee and you're dead.
 
On saturday night my girlfriend and I were both rank 16 in big team battle. We bounce between rank 14-16 now. The rank system seems to be more generous than before.
We are still terrible at team slayer.
 
I didnt see this mentioned yet and I wasnt about to put it in the other Halo 2 thread thats just loaded with people arguing.
Bungie is releasing 5 more maps. (total of 9). My girlfriend and I still play this game online at least a couple times every single week. We will be DL the new maps for sure. :)

July 5th

1. Gemini
2. Relic
3. Elongation
4. Terminal:
5. Backwash
 
The new maps are available today. I will be checking them out hopefully later tonight. The new level graphics and detail look amazing! :drool:
My girlfriend is at level 21 Big team battle now. Im only 18 :dunce:
I am just shocked with the Download content this game has developed. Now thats gettting your money worth. Now 11 maps have become available since this game was released.
 
Sorry for reviving a thread...

I FINALLY got a chance to play this game, and I now know why my brother was addicted to it. Duel wielding rules! The graphics are better than the original Halo.

Well they should be... It is a newer and betetr put to gether game. But the whole level thing... IS SO REPETITIVE... And if you ask me.. The graphics kinda suck...
 
WERE HAVE YOU BEEN! I played it when it was a soo called *BIG HIT* I don't hate the game.. I baught it. It's fun to mess with your friends in... But's it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overated.
 
I was obviously....at somewhere in the Arctic, away from the gaming world ;)

I don't think it's overrated, although the game did make me tired.
 
I just recently bought it. Actually, I bought it the day I bought my Xbox. (about a month ago) but anyway, I bought it mainly for multiplayer, but have been trying to finish the story mode. I am having a hard time getting into it though. I think I've been too distracted with Fable and Half Life 2...
 
The Campaign isn't too hard. Me and my brother finished over half in one day (9 hours)

Btw, you actually pay for Xbox Live? That friggin' expensive service? :eek:

50 bucks a year? thats like $4.16 a month, thats dirt cheap. Thats not even a burger and fries...
 
I Play off and on, my one friend is really really good, even though he cant play now since he sold his xbox. But me and my other friend have been told by him and many other who we have played with that we are the best snipers they have seen.

I heard from a few people it was like $30+ a month for Xbox Gold or something...

He was wrong?
 
From what I heard, it's much better to pay for a Year's subscription rather than month by month. I think you save $10 that way.
 
I also have it set up to pay $50.00 for the year. Just like it was said above, thats only $4.16 a month and they just automatically take it out each year. So once you pay you dont have to worry about it again for 12 months. I have been on xbox live over 2-3 years now. Best online experience still to this day. 👍
