[@jakespacepiratee3740]

No, the Halo Infinite Cortana goodbye-scene is not better than Halo 4. In Halo 4 its like actually watching a loved one die. Halo Infinite's version at the end of the day only exists to pretend Halo 5 never happened and it emotionally feels like watching a family member committ uninstall in jail after they killed 5 people.

[@omegaprime9794]

One thing I like is that whenever you find a dead spartan, there are so many dead banished around them, Spartans do not go quietly

[@darkrider2544]

i hate them cuz it takes up to 30 mins to kill them on EASY!

[@jckcc]

These Hunters are smart. They refuse to be baited to melee and when they do they do it fast so the chances of getting to shoot at their back are barely present. It’s a good type of challenge and not spammed too much since they are really rare in the game. And yes, Needlers and explosive weapons deal with them well but I like to focus fire their joints.

[@Grimlaw]

Not sure if you meant hate... because hate makes more sense. On legendary there was a lot of times when I questioned if they were even taking damage from my weapons. Had to keep threat sensors on them to watch their health bars. Felt like fighting a fast moving wraith, and the wraith is easier. Lol

[@shoebillgaming2147]

[@Grimlaw]

@Introspective Rage Played legendary, refused to use sentinel beam due to cheesing. That's the easiest weapon in the game. Though not sure that works on hunters, never tried. Currently doing a sidekick only challenge with no abilities but the grapple in my 3rd playthrough on legendary. Challenges I have done, no shields, no Hud, reduced ammo, and needler only. Next will be plasma pistol only. Game is more fun the more challenging you make it. Give it a try. Anyways take care. Replied due to notification.

The Jeff Steitzer cameo clip at the end had me crying. Said it before but it bears repeating: He's the wholesome we should all be aspiring to be.

[@tedlipper5451]

A thing I found interesting in this game was that they used red and blue as team colors in the storyline/writing for the campaign (both literally and symbolically). Red meaning enemy/banished and blue meaning friendly/human. They also changed Cortana to be purple because she is now an enemy but chief still remembers her as a friend whom he failed.

[@firstconsul7286]

I thought Cortana was back to purple as a callback to CE, since she's pretty much the same shade as she was then.

[@bennycostello2472]

Shes purple in halo 1

[@Execuor]

She is purple in both Halo Ce and Halo 2 - It's from Halo 3 on wards that she turns blue. So it is potentially both.

[@CLNCJD94]

@@Execuor yeah, I like the idea it could be both a callback and a slight nod towards color design. The John Wick franchise does this to symbolize whenever John is in control (Blue I believe) and whenever he is not in control (Red).

The thing with the smell sensors actually makes sense. On one hand, for analyzing the close atmosphere for various substances and on the other hand, for SLLS (stop, look, listen, smell), to become aware of enemy camps ect. Smelling is a vastly underestimated sense and since reconnaissence is also a task of the AI, it actually makes sense, that the AI can smell.

[@Grimlaw]

"Never gonna use the drop wall", to anyone foolish not to use this on legendary, you're missing out. Fully upgraded drop wall enhances your weapon shots and grenades thrown through it. It's good cover as well to snipe out the jackal snipers, dodging them is pointless. No matter how fast you are grappling, sliding, etc. They will hit you, Jackals got aim bot on legendary. Always use the sensors to know enemy positions, helps not get ambushed if you're doing a no death challenge. The Sidekick pistol is your best friend on legendary, especially the upgraded variant. Won't spoil fights, but the final boss.... bring a gravity hammer... that's my tip. Trust me.

[@dpjazzy15]

The sword is fantastic in those last couple lil bits too......and there's a couple of em in that chamber.....

[@Strav24]

The last tier helps grenades? On earlier tiers hitting the back of it caused the grenade to instantly explode and take out the wall so I never tried it later

[@Grimlaw]

@@Strav24 It helps all projectile based weapons, including grenades yes. Skewers, Cindershot, Heatwave, M41 SPNKR for example. The game also gives you not only in text, but a clear visual effect that it's enhancing your weapons, hard to miss it. It's a disruptor effect. An example, anytime you throw a grenade through the drop wall, it looks like the disruptor grenade. You probably thought you threw the disruptor grenade by mistake, but no. It's the drop wall. The best combination from experience was the cindershot, that really cleaned up the final boss room instantly on legendary. The Chieftain's Gravity Hammer, if you did not have one before with you, take it to use on the Harbringer. Hit the Harbringer 3 times, game over. You're done. Congratulations on beating legendary.

[@Strav24]

@@Grimlaw I get that it helps everything, trust me it was vital in a bunch of places. I was just confused on grenades, since my early experience with the two didn't go so well. Gameplay proving different than the tiny description. And by the time I got the last upgrade my playstyle was to avoid throwing grenades through the bank of the wall, since it rendered both useless

[@Swindle1984]

We've been using bomb sniffers in airports for decades, but dogs are more effective and cheaper, plus unlike bomb sniffers, dogs can also detect other things, like drugs. We had people sniffers during Vietnam, that would supposedly let you detect VC sneaking through the jungle by detecting sweat and body odor. They worked... sorta... but turns out that they were calibrated using white people eating a Western diet and mostly just detected your own troops, rather than Asian people eating a Vietnamese diet, who smell different as a result of genetics, diet, and environment. Read accounts of soldiers in various wars, including modern day Iraq, and they'll tell you that in the dark, you literally can smell the enemy coming... as long as they're a different ethnicity and eat different food, anyway. So yeah, I fully believe that 500 years in the future, we could have a sniffer built into combat armor that detects alien funk.

I’m surprised I’m like the only person that actually used the other equipment while not on legendary. I would have used the grapple even more if I knew how to do the charge thing with it (hold down melee button). The drop wall was pretty useful when I was naked without cover, the thruster was useful only when active camo-ing. Also what are you talking about that the motion tracker was useless? Extremely helpful when in giant groups of enemies or on tanky ones, plus the health indicator part helped a lot in those cases,

[@itsthemumu8585]

I think some of the issue is how painfully long it takes to get to the right equipment. It’s a little much to ask to remember a button combo in the heat of a fight. They should’ve just gone with the system every previous Halo game had (with grenades) where you hit the “switch” button until you get to the one you need. A lot easier when you’re in a pickle to remember how many times I have to press right on the D-pad than a D-pad button combo, and I’m sure I’m not the only one

How could there be something WORSE than the Flood?" Because 343 is desperate to have their own enemy faction that people like that they can point to and say "we made that!" They tried it with the Didact, Jul'Mdama's Storm Covenant, The Created, Succeeded with the Banished, and now they are trying this once again with the Endless. Give them a chance and stop overreacting to a malfunctioning AI's ramblings. We have fought the Flood for 4 Halo games, there isnt anything else that can be done with space-zombies. They are dealt with the exact same way in every game, we find them, fight them, then blow something up to kill them all. Its not that cosmic and inspirational as some people think. Plus, im pretty sure I remember older Halo fans hating the Flood because they were annoying to fight...hmmm

Its the endless and they are worse because they are immune to the rings which made them incredibly deadly if they got infected by the flood because the flood would then be immune to the rings too.
