At the end you'll understand that the best drink to get drunk with is your own blood...

I am finally reading English based literature (I am ecuadorian, so I mostly read Spanish based), and I am finding 1984 by Blair something out of this world. I have already read 30 out the 100 Time Best Novels, who'd though English would be so enjoyable?

I highly suggest you go back and read the books again. Human forces won on the ground all the time. Of course there were defeats but that was only when the Covenant forces outnumbered the UNSC forces by a dramatic amount.

Yes, ODST's are not as strong as Brutes or Elites, but you really seem to be taking this to heart and making it somewhat personal.

If it really means that much to you, don't buy the game. I'm going to be kicking Covenant ass in Firefight while you (hopefully) go back and read the books again.


Woah there Viper. You also have to compare the results of battles with Marines and Elites and Brutes and Marines. IMO Brutes are tactically inferior and undisciplined. Also most battles won were with Spartans. And I don't think he's taking it personally. Read his posts and its not like he's not gonna buy it.

The only reason I see is because they were on normal. Thats why WHENVER I play campaign its usually on heroic or legendary (easy on glitches XP). But yes its impractical but Brutes are really dumb and they only pushed back by sheer force. An experienced elite would own any ODST. Or it would be close. Brutes are easy to read as they use primitive charge tactics. The smart ones are the ones piloting ships.


Thank you Jagster.

I just want to point out that I am not taking this personally at all. I have read the books multiple times, and in my mind the SPARTANS are the only human ground force that can really take a stand against the Covenant. They were so important, and the Marines had such low moral because they always loosed, that the because really big icons and even government propaganda to boost moral. Still for the sake if everything, I will read the Halo book once more, trying to understand why you guys constantly point out that the regular marines are superior to the Covenant.
