Legendary.pstt...when u get used to it,legendary is nothing but another difficulty,the simple key(and common sense) for legendary is think extremely think ahead of time,plan,then strike,not go like you do in easy or normal that you just stand infront of an elite and smack him with your gunlol.i've beaten halo in legendary and the real challenge is driving and getting past the sentinels while your driving.thats all.Like i said before,legendary is just another difficulty once you get used to it.and please,MC can have the shiniest armor in the world,like death said,(i'll put it into my TERMS) he was trained to KICK as$.

Dude, His armor isn't always shiny, when he's in the dark I'm sure it isn't fuking illuminating like the light of a 1000 suns. I guarantee the only time you see him with shiny armor is when HE'S IN LIGHT. Elites have shiny armor to.

All forums of combat involves stealth buddy. If you have no stealth then you're enemy will see you a you're have a less change of not getting killed. would you run right in front of you're enemy then kill him/her?

Well then i'd suggest instead of arguing amongst yourselves with your far fetch pipe dreams of being the best at this game, to instead drop 20-40 bucks to enter a sponsored tournament with a big cash prize. So you can get utterly humiliated. Best in the world, hah, for a guy who complains about the ignorance of others so often, you sure seem to be short sighted.

To answer the original question, the Spartan armour was designed to disperse heat and energy on the outside- so as to weaken the plasma weapons the Covenant use. It's shiny because reflective surfaces disperse energy/heat far better than matte colors do.

MC is so shinny because he has an extra refractive coating on his armor. Read the books.


I typed this the same time as Lunous:)

Lunous i dont think the question was made in any hopes for a serious answer, that's what skater_lm does, makes loads of crappy topics to vent the frustrations of his lack of control over every situation he's involved with. Only thing the guy's good at is aggravating people, and making my mornings slightly more enjoyable. It's like clockwork, he signs on and bluntly makes an ass of himself.

But judging by your insanely original Multiplayer name, i didn't really expect you to have enough creativity to figure that all out on your own.
