It all started as a joke after she had beaten the game on Legendary, but now she's done it. My wife just beat Halo using hand-to-hand (except against a few of the Sentinel that she couldn't reach) and grenades only. Not a single shot fired. Yeah it was on the easiest setting, but it was still damn tough to do. Anyway, thought you guys would get a kick out of it.
I love being married to a gamer-girl :).

I did that on Legendary a few months back when I was bored minus grenades... Except I skipped the flood level seeing as how they won't die with hand to hand combat.

Me and friend did that on all difficulties already, back towards the end of 2003 I believe.

how the hell is that possible to do that on Legendary? You mind telling me how you took out a Banshee with melee attacks? Or a gold sword Elite?

nice Homer simpson quote by the way, unireal

I think the our little teen Halo fans are kinda missing the point here. Its not "look, my wife beat the game using hand to hand and grenades only." It was "look, my wife beat the game using hand to hand and grenades only."

All i have to say? Good catch Arravis! ;)

Jagar: Some saw it some didn't, I didn't find it all that special that a women did it because I see them just as EQUALLY as men. But that's just me.

And for those who asked how you beat something without killing it. Run PAST it.

I don't think Jager meant something like "Look, a GIRL can actually play a game", rather, "He's got a kickass wife", after all, how many girls in this world are there that would be willing to go one on one with you in Halo then go one on one with you somewhere else? For this guy it seems to all come in one nice package, hooray!

And I wouldn't put it past these people to not know running past something in Halo is a solution to the conflict. Playing a game of Halo and leaving something alive just doesn't sit well with most people.

lol my ex-girlfriend used to get jealous of Halo. I'd tell her I'd call her but Id always go to my friends and have a LAN party instead, usually getting home at about 11:40 and phoning her then saying "Sorry lost track of time!" I know if she was a gamer sh'ed understand but she wasn't so I'd get my ass kicked! Anyway she cant complain she brought me my X-box and copy of Halo!
P.S. Congrats man, I'm envious!

Thats some nice work...I always consider playing the full game with only melee attacks, but when you have a pistol in yur hand, and an unsuspecting grunt in the distance i can never resist just popping them in the head....

She's 25 and gamer-girl all the way. It rocks :). Every few months we'll have some fairly large X-Box LAN parties and there's nothing better then seeing a hot little blonde stomping through a bunch of guys like they weren't even there. Anyway, since it's fairly unusual (she's the only woman we know that actually plays because she genuinely enjoys it) I thought you guys might appreciate it. Thanks for all the positive feed-back and yeah... I do feel damn lucky :).

P.S.: I thought a few of you might get a kick out of the flyer's we've made in the past for our Halo parties.

I think it's quite cool to even have a gamer wife no matter what game it is but it's even cooler that it's Halo and hand-to-hand! WAOW!

Lucky. My girlfriend only likes games along the lines of Super Mario World. I tried to get her to play Halo, but she quit midway and refuses to play. She considers it "Highly boring and like crack; Its really bad and people won't stop doing it." Her words not mine. I routinely play it in front of her, and she doesn't really mind, but she won't pick up the Controller for anything. She does get a good kick out of the obvious frustation I pour on my room-mates. Even she knows that 3 shots to the head will kill anyone from any distance. Ha HA!

I love playing on easy with melee only, just whack whack whacking away at anything that moves including marines and flood, MC is unstopable on that difficulty.

MC = GOD on Easy. No way around it. If you are having trouble with this level, here is a checklist of things you need to troubleshoot.

1. Make sure your controller is plugged in.

2. Make sure you aren't asleep.

3. Make sure the gnomes aren't attacking your privates.

4. Most importantly, and I stress this, quit playing Co-Op thinking that it is a Split Screen Deathmatch.

Regarding the 4th one, everytime I play Co-Op, this happens somewhere along the line. Its fun, and the person comes back with full health and ammo too, haha. I'm sure this technique is practiced regularly when in this mode too. Sometimes it degrades to nothing more than killing each other over and over again, causing someone to lose spirit and quit the game, which could cause situation 4.

You are forgetting one thing, some people can't use the dual thumb stick controlls (I try to help but they can't do it), they can't aim at anything so they get killed on easy, at this point we both know that it might be best if they just give up and play something else.

If you can't use both at once, than you are just SOL. I have hand-eye coordination and 14 years of gaming experience on my hands, so using both at once hasn't ever been a problem. The X-Box controller is genious for FPS. It kills all competition in that area.
