"Halo 4: I Get a Woman!" - Sgt. Mjr. A.J. Johnson, RIP

wut wut where are the crates? What are you in the crates? Hello hello

So I just "completed" the game on Heroic. The reason why I put completed in quotes, is because the game says I haven't completed Level 3. Fuck that, that is the level I hate. So great, going to have to go back and play for the achievement.

My thoughts on the SP:

Story was pretty boring, I also felt like it was me soloing it for human kind way too much, in past Halos you really feel like its you and humanity VS the enemy, this one I felt alone, too alone.

I only really liked a few of the levels. These were typically the ones where you are doing a unique activity, I loved going about the ship in the Mantis. I loved the installation 03 stuff. Really, the Prometheus I found boring to fight and frustrating.

Apart from those cool levels where you do something unique, like drive a pelican, or broadsword, it just felt like I had to always go to multiple switches to turn something off or on, and just rinse and repeat that.

broadsword level sucked ass. They should've squeezed a level on installation 03 instead.

Halo 4's scripting should be archived in plain text. I don't understand how modders haven't torn it apart yet.

Had they hired me/brought me in to intern I would have verified that no debug data would have leaked into shipping builds. Their loss. Or they just don't care. Or someone there wanted it this way. Their loss, either way.

And I'm pretty sure the crates are spawned in the following zones (instead of all in the same spot) as a way to replenish the player with heavy weapons (since it only works on legendary).

OS for halo4, coming to a shitbox near you.

Since there's a challenge for doing Forerunner on Legendary solo, I'll share my tips for that mission.

There are several reasons why this mission is a little bitch. 1) There are barely any power weapons to be found and during the first couple encounters, all you have are freaking Boltshots and Suppressors. 2) Cover? What's cover? We'll give you a little rock to work from. Good luck with those crawlers, Ghosts, and Banshees that can get behind and shoot over said rock. And 3), the guy in charge of placing checkpoints is an asshole.

My first Legendary run, I had a Kill Em All mentality and it took forever and was exceedingly frustrating. Playing today, I avoided fights whenever possible and there are a LOT of opportunities to avoid fights on this level. The Prometheans and Covenant are fighting all over the place and that's usually a great opportunity to look for an opening and book it.

When you get to the beam towers, don't fuck around. You need to get a checkpoint as soon as possible, because replaying the beginning of both of those encounters is not something that is good for your sanity. What you need to do is be aggressive and go take out one of the shield generators, kill the nearby enemies and you should have a checkpoint.

For the second beam tower in particular, what I did was run over the Elite heading for the Banshee, then continue on in the Ghost to the right hand shield generator to force my first checkpoint. Then I worked my way around the back to take out the other two generators. Once they are down, go grab a Banshee and fly up to the light bridge and jump out. You're home free. Don't try to kill the Elites on the tower or the other Banshees, just give them the finger and move on.

As far as weapons go, I stuck with the Light Rifle and Scattershot. As I was saying before, there's really not much of an option there.

Just logged on this morning:

Where the fuck is Episode 3?
Where the fuck is Team Snipers?
Why is there now a FFA Throwback playlist, and SWAT is gone?...

Scroll down, that said team snipers and episode arent available. Should have been though.

E: Is it a dumb idea to try and complete Forerunner on legendary solo, whilst doing the "Carry a UNSC weapon all the way through level?"

[ODX]

That's a really dumb idea, because you'd be limiting yourself to one weapon since your UNSC one will probably run out of ammo about 2 seconds into the damn level.

Yeah I gave up after 5 minutes.

Funny stuff, Halowaypoint is down and their twitter says they are experiencing "deployment issues", yet FFA Throwback is on...cant wait for snipers.
