bellow Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I decided to look in on odst again, and sort of turned myself around on the game. A bit, at least. Got out of the city onto the beaches, and did one of the best warthog chapters I've done in the whole saga, with a gunman so well programmed to attack the biggest threat, it was like I was on the turret and driving at the same time. Great AI in these games, you have to say. Sadly I'm back in the city, but I think I've finally got a handle on how the game wants me to perform. Feel like I'm gonna see the thing out, which I didn't the other day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I'm feeling this now. This city is ours, and we're gonna defend it. I don't know why. We just are. Did a nice tank mission then had to defend this monumental plaza from a vast horde of covenant, until someone had the bright idea to trap us in a building full of explosives. That's were I left off. If we're going down here we're taking the covenant down with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Have you figured out what the city does yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Yeah, makes me wish I had a grapple hook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm on the chapter called Data Hive, and going deep underground looking for the stranded captain. There have been some excellent levels in this, real showpieces for what the whole series stands for, and the more I've played the more I'm starting to think this little side game can hold its head with all the main entries. At first I didn't like it. I wasn't sure about the tone or the physical darkness of the city. But the strangeness of it has won me over, the quiet streets occupied by patrolling covenant forces, the possibility of stealthing thru buildings and those hints from the unknown. I found a few recordings from what seems to be young girl trying to get out of town. But I probably came to that too late to make sense of it. Yeah, I really like it now. It's so strange, like the way Rookie (or whoever the initial guy is) is piecing the narrative together thru finding bits of gear all over the city. Weird, and a bit chilling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Some might say it's in the top 5 Halo games of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 There's only 8 isn't there? Not counting those tactical ones. I won't be playing those. Life's too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 You already played Halo 2 the time wasting has begun might as well finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 It's time for Maf retrospective on Halo 2. It was just as good as the others as far as I'm concerned. Your young eyes might not have been able to cope with the extravagantly cinematic cutscenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'll stream and commentate a Halo 2 playthrough and show you in explicit detail why it's a stain on the series. As long as you complete Halo 3 on Legendary. It's really fun @bellow Fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I already beat it on legendary. (Or normal while chugging Jack Daniel's. Which is the same as legendary. Probably harder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 @bellow you can't play all these Halo games and not try one of them on the hardest difficulty. Legendary mode is iconic and you got to try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Isn't that something to do in co-op? I wouldn't do it because I hate people, especially their annoying voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Co-op? No do in co-op. Doesn’t count if you do it in co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Legendary is doable solo, might take a while though. Unless you plan to do Halo 2 because apparently nobody play tested that game in Legendary. Shit's fucking impossible even in co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Isn’t the story something like that they tested Halo 2 Legendary in sections and debug modes but due to time pressure no one sat down and played it start to finish so it’s just fucked. I can’t remember what bit of the game it is, I think it’s when you fight one of the Prophets. But I was watching a speedrun and the guy said that if you get to that point and you don’t have a sniper rifle, you’ve fucked up and it’s essentially game over because it can’t be done without it.

bellow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 It is done. Squad found and evacuated, alongside a friendly alien engineer, whose compatriots I've been gleefully slaughtering all game😕 Very enjoyable that one. Definitely going to take a break from halo now tho. Will probably play 4, then Reach when I resume. Am I right in thinking that 5 is multiplayer only? It seems to be by the description given in gamepass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
