[@GamerFreak354]

Dontai pro tips: the little flood things can bring dead flood bodies back to life. Destroy dead flood bodies with a sword or explosive to stop them from coming back The color of elites armor also indicates their rank and shield/combat capabilities: Blue-Solider, weakest shields Red-Veteran, strong shields White-Ship Masters, strongest shields and usually carry swords Red with orange highlights-Honor Guards, strong shields and have swords and strongest weapons Hunters are weakest in the orange part of their back so shoot there to kill them faster Always kill Elites first, when an elite dies the grunts will get scared and run away

[@Godzilla_Cheeze]

Dontai's inability to tell the very obvious difference between the two types of elites and grunts made me so confused, bruh. Just look at the color of the reticles, if how they look already isn’t obvious enough. 😭

Entire playthrough was journalist mode. Can't use the vehicles right, can't shoot targets, no brain gameplay. Only decent content was the reactions. Nobody played the original this bad, just seems that incapable people are playing games above their level nowadays. Nothing against noobs, but even noobs back then knew how to adapt and overcome, and not be complete garbage the entire game. Put some effort into it. I was never good at controller and used inverted because used to flight sim joysticks, but damn never this bad, and I'm order of magnitude better on PC. IDK if joystick here, but even joystick has aim assist, so this is pure skill issue.

[@Godzilla_Cheeze]

@@JohnDoe-ip3oq What's your pfp?

[@JohnDoe-ip3oq]

@@Godzilla_Cheeze I've played Halo 1-2 on Xbox, and the original Halo on PC from disc, don't really play the new stuff although I bought MCC and infinite. I've played reach though, and I don't think any of the newer games aged as well as the originals, nor do I care to play the 343 sequels. I don't like how PC users were treated as second class until MCC, and quit caring about the series. Doom and quake were and still are the better PC games, as well as half life, and their remasters are great. If you like modding, doom has some of the best mod content ever made, including full games like hedon and selaco. There's also that free mod ashes 2063. As for halo mods, I've played svp3, which was good, but I haven't played Halo regularly since 2. OH. IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE MYTH SERIES, PLAY THEM, MADE BY BUNGIE. 2 was my favorite.
