Your gonna hate it. You'll think the graphics are awful and think it's a really bad shooter. You can only appreciate it's awesomeness if you played it when it came out or maybe a year after it came out. It's the same reason I never liked Marathon on XBL Marketplace.

Don't assume everyone needs bloom and HDR to make a game good.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

keep in mind that it's on old game, an origional xbox game at that. the graphics may be a little dated and the physics might be a bit odd, but it is one of the best games i have ever played. the story, the gameplay, the music, the lan parties, i loved everything abou thise game. most important piece of advice, enjoy.

WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LIKE TO PLAY


The pistol is your best friend and has fully automatic firing. (Just for zooming to see further, is a useful tool) Can even take out Banshees/Wraiths.
The Scorpion allows for use of its anti-personnel machine gun. Use it alot.
The Elite trick works. Plasma Pistol overcharge+pistol headshot=kill.
Grunts can be hurt/killed by Plasma Pistol overcharge, and it doesn't drain down like H-3.
No dual wield/weapon swap/boarding privileges.
SIngle pistol shot to exposed back kills Hunters.
Flood do not reanimate, but their melee is brutal.
I also find that when "steering" a battle, is better to steer in favor of Flood. Elites are ridiculously tough.
Mind your health bars - game uses first aid packs and seems to make it tougher when your health is lower.

If you get stuck, feel free to message me for ideas. Have no-died all the levels on lgdry.
Enjoy the ludicrous amount of fun you're about to have.

I always shoot Keyes, just to see how long I can last (what's the point of a Spartan if every ship has a garrison of invincible Marines?). Anyway, the pistol is all you need. It may sound strange, but the Plasma Rifle is a killing machine, particularly online (8 hits to strip and kill an overshielder).

You'll find the game is completely different than the other two games, and better for it.

The needler sticks for a couple seconds, then explodes. You can throw 'nades far. Flood are a different style to fight, since they rush you in huge mobs rather than fight from a distance.

Rockets and Sniper are useful. There are also powerups(Camo and OS) in Campaign.
