Slightly off topic, but what exactly is a Webcam MVP? How is it different in terms of earning the status (not that I will ever be there. lol)

SLASO is a great achievement guys but what is the point in doing it? I mean if you do SLASO do you win something?


I don't think so. Not even the R-word. I guess you're just mean to feel proud of yourself inside.

You can ask for making game harder.

"This was the game Bungie meant for us to play and more people need to take advantage of it."

Congratulations on finishing the campaign SLASO. That takes a ton of skill, time, and untold frustration and you deserve everything you "can haz" for finishing it. I don't want to diminsh your accomplishment in any way. However, the idea that SLASO is the way Halo 3 is meant to be played is absolute garbage. I'm pretty sure Bungie didn't spend thousands of hours coding levels filled with enemies because they meant for players to skip past them using hammer jumps, loading glitches, infinite ammo laser glitches, etc.

The Blackeye and Blindskull is the reason to why I'm not gonna bother with it.

I allways pick the wrong weapon can't see my weapon....and how am I supposed to know that I'm low on health so I must meele someone??

And If I'm hiding from 300 enemies behind a rock with no shields, I can't really rush to them and bash someone in the head and just go back safely with full health again =) haha

Yeah. For the life of me I don't understand why Bungie came up with those Skulls in the first place. They don't make things challenging; they make them downright impossible. They shoulda came up wiith Skulls with fun effects, like unlimited ammo or God mode.

After awhile, you learn just how much it takes to lower your shields down to critical. If you aren't sure, then assume they're low. The easiest way to proceed is to always save the Brutes for last, decimate their armor with a plasma pistol overcharge shot, and have them berserk. It makes for an easier assassination. Particularly on levels where the Arbiter is with you to distract them.

Yep, I agree, After a while you roughly know at what stage your shields are. I can normally tell when my shields are flashing or not.

As can I.

Another way you can tell FOR SURE is to either hop into a vehicle or pick up a turret. If you see that electricity sparking all over your armor, then you know your shields are flashing.
