I played a little bit on Heroic. It was so much fun. So refreshing. I've been playing it splitscreen-Coop too, so when you enjoy that it's pretty indicative of how well-designed the game is.

It's hard to have highs without lows. I find this game to be a steady morphine drip as opposed to the passion-neglect cycle of past games.
My first playthrough, I wasn't impressed with the Prometheans. I thought that the Chozo ghosts and the space pirates from Metroid Prime had gotten drunk and decided to screw, resulting in these Knights as their unwanted spawn. I thought they were hollow, out-of-place bullet sponges.
But they grew on me. Legendary really revealed their behavioral patterns and made killing them and watching them digitize feel so satisfying. My preconceived notion was that they were simple Elite clones, like the Brutes eventually became, so I was expecting them to be easier to kill. But they are a tier above Elites and now that I've come to understand that, the damage required to kill them doesn't seem so undue.
The crawlers are far cooler than I had anticipated. I love how they skid and slide and explode. I also think it's neat how their weak spot grows and shrinks based on whether they are trying to shoot you or not. I could have done without the spot where they infinitely (?) spawn, however. That's some Call of Duty bullshit that we don't need.
The watchers are more ancillary and don't feel like true characters to me, but they demonstrate 343's understanding that flying enemies should hold relatively still, just like the crawlers demonstrated the understanding that fast-moving enemies should have big glowing targets.
So, I did a 180 on the Prometheans. They fit in the sandbox just fine. The Watchers are vastly superior to Drones/Engineers/Sentinels. The Crawlers are vastly superior to Skirmishers. And the Knights are vastly superior to Brutes. As such, I'm really not sad that any of those unit types were cut. I just don't miss them. Though, I do wish there were more Promethean enemy types. Where's the Rook!?
Just play it Legendary by yourself, or invite some friends and set up a game.Quote:

I just finished level 3 and I feel physically sick. I don't know if its the game or I ate something bad but its weird.
I'm just not feeling the campaign much, playing it on Heroic and I get frustrated, the lack of ammo is something I notice every time I play. I don't want to feel like I have to avoid using a certain gun because I need to keep that ammo for only X enemy.
Jesus, this game is BRIGHT. You guys notice that?

I got thrown into an in-progress Flood match today. I spawned without getting to select a loadout, I was an enemy to everyone, and I only had an AR and pistol. It was great. But not. Then the next round started and it fixed itself.
Fuck this joining mid game shit.
