So I realized that I never beat the game on Legendary. That's not acceptable. I managed to get through the first 2 levels by myself, but it's starting to get hard. I think the flood levels might get REALLY aggravating. I'm always up for co-op. The only thing I ask is that you stay to finish the level.

I always pump in the chopper and feel it certainly helps out in chop on chop battles and in taking out warthogs if they get the jump on me. Never bothered pumping with the fully auto guns/vehicles but I doubt it'll help.GhaleonEB said:

I can help you, though, my disc is scratched and it doesn't let me play The Ark, and after finishing Halo(to get to the cutscenes), it boots me out and tells me the disc is unreadable. I've been planning on getting a CD cleaner/doctor, or buying a new Disc.
For the Rapid Fire Controllers, I thought Bungie banned people that used them, or Microsoft did from any game. Thought I read about it somewhere.

I'm biased when it comes to snipers. Still stuck in Halo 2, I guess. When shotty snipers comes up, I don't even use the shotgun. I specifically refuse to use it. You can ask Diabolical Bagel for confirmation on this. I guess I do it to make me better, but it also feels much more satifying to get a no scope snipe, and even more satisfying to no scope someone with a shotgun.Dax01 said:

Using the shotgun is just the least satifying in Halo IMO.
I was referring to him solely using the shotgun. But he was joking and merely uses it most of the time, which makes sense. I thought he was alluding to his hate of the sniper and therefore refusing to use it. This is not the case, so all is well. I didn't mean to come off sounding like Juices, even if I do like the competitve side of Halo more than the noncompetitive.Louis Wu said:

Does the rapid trigger tapping decrease the BR spread?

Quite all right.
However, hopefully this makes you feel better...:lol So close!
Kind of related: For Team Snipers, I wish you would always spawn with the Beam Rifle as your secondary weapon. I don't like having to press "B" twice to get out of zoom. I much prefer pressing "Y" twice.

Default, yeah I said it.

Even before I switched (from using default) I preferred to press "Y" twice.GhaleonEB said:
Besides, Bumper Jumper is a "no-no" when it comes to dual-wielding (i.e., it makes it a lot more difficult than it should). It's why I don't rock the Bumper Jumper.

I just looked at the controller configuration. It wasn't the dual-wielding I had a problem with but the reloading. I love using RB for reload.Botolf said:

Default, because the familiar is comfortable, always been somewhat afraid I'd end up trying out Bumper Jumper for a while and somehow mess-up switching between and end being terrible at both.
Anyway, off to London for two weeks, don't announce any more awesome anime without me around to bask in its (hopeful) glory.

IMO bumber jumper is the superior control scheme because you can keep your thumb on the stick that controls look while pressing the jump button.

I was thinking about going to PAX this year. Have to save up some money for gas, though.

Fullscreen Firefight footage just posted by GT, if anyone cares - http://www.gametrailers.com/video/sdcc-09-halo-3-odst/53411

That's crazy. I don't know how you do that. Can you move in a direction and jump at the same time?Louis Wu said:
I use Bumper Jumper, but it took me two tries to get used to (after a lot of campaign practice).
I was hoping for direct feed but thanks for the link. It really shows how the ODST can't throw grenades nearly as far. Which is weird because in the E3 demonstration the grenades tosses looked completely different and much floatier than even Halo 3. Now it looks like ODST can't throw nades as far as the gruntsKibbles said:

This video does confirm what Voltron already said: the pistol has a large recoil.Kibbles said:
Looking good. I'm more excited to play Firefight every day that passes.
rofl - I'm gonna love to see footage of someone trying to play like this on a difficulty above Normal.Kibbles said:
(He wouldn't have lasted 5 seconds under that first phantom on Legendary, or probably even Heroic...)
Yes, but I accidentally zoom in a lot when I'm doing it. :lolStormtrooper30 said:
At 2:25 he's backpedaling away from two hammer Chieftains....when he's blindsided by a third one from the left.Kibbles said:
Oh my.
And while it's been visible before, this video makes it much more clear that the Brute's shields flare ala Elites and Spartans when taking damage; I don't recall that much of it in Halo 3.
Edit: it also looks like the Chieftains are faster than the ODSTs, which makes sense, given how ODSTs are slower than Spartans. But still, I never really added it up: fleeing a pack of hammer Chieftains who are faster than you.
Pants will be filled.

Nice footage. At 0:55 under the reticule there is some sort of ying-yang medal he receives? Wonder what that is. Player gets it multiple times throughout the video, once after killing the brute chasing him.
Looks awesome, but have they confirmed ODST permutations? Cause everyone in the video is either MICK or BUCK. Man I really need to get back into the Halo loop. Been away too long., but my interest in ODST has been revived.
