Subject: Boarding,Gravity Hammers,ripping off turrets?!?

Ryan(Sgt.Cortez)

Ok,so as I was watching I hear ODST in firefight will rip off turrets,use hammers,board wraiths,and I was just wondering,why?Is there not one game bungie that you can make for once where you actually rely on strategy,like a normal human should.Mine as well let us be spartans and elites in firefight to,thats what it sure seems like. P.S. No BR as well you put weapons in this game that shouldnt be there yet,but the one weapon that should be there and its not,well I don't know but I'd sure like answers plz.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

It's a video game. We like to have fun.

It was supposed to be fun because you couldn't do all the crazy things a spartan can. Bungie totally failed on that as far as I can see from gameplay videos.

From what it seems, you're just a Spartan in an ODST's suit. I almost want to take back my pre-order.

Then don't get it. I'm going to get it and enjoy it for what it is. If you don't want to, it's very easy not to get it.

Already thinking about that.

I'm guessing you completely overlooked all the downgrades made so you'd be more like an ODST. Like the decreased speed, lower jumping, shorter grenade throws. An ODST is an elite marine. The best of the best. They're still strong enough to rip off and lift a turret and stuff like that.

  • 08.03.2009 10:19 PM PDT

Here's a slight difference; you die much faster.

Maybe for a little while, but Halo 3 turrets look like they could still easily weigh a quarter ton with 200 rounds in it. You shouldn't be able to carry it so easily. And a gravity hammer would rips a persons arms off. And there's no way an ODST should be able to beat down a brute.

Now, I know it's just a game, but it was supposed to be different and fun because you aren't a spartan. So far it doesn't seem any different.

I don't ever remember being able to give a plasma sword or gravity hammer to a ODST and ODST are just normal people and the turret is heavy even for spartans so it actually dont make much sense

  • 08.03.2009 10:22 PM PDT

Go Rams and Missouri!

They wanted you to feel like an ODST, but not at the expense of fun. And you can't really board, just hop onto a Wraith and blow it up with a grenade.

Just take it for what it is: another Halo. Play it, enjoy it, and quit BLAM-ing about it "not being realistic." IT'S A VIDEO GAME!

Yeah, the only thing i disagree on is the hammer, which doesn't bother me that much.

Your melee is weaker, from what i saw it took at least 4 hits without fire to kill, if you could get that close.

Well I was because I always wondered what it was gonna be like fighting like a human and how they struggled through the war,right there just underated spartans,and by the way I didn't like halo 3 that much after awhile I just got bored samething and thats what this game sounds like.

From what I've seen you'll have to use a lot of strategy in the game. I guess you could try to rush like a spartan, but that wouldn't work well.

Ryan(Sgt.Cortez)

Well so far from what I've seen they have done that and only died once,after that they were fine,because brutes arent smart so a lot of the time they will sit and look at you,just like halo 3.

Every firefight video I have seen, I think, has to be set on easy or normal which would make it easier to pull a rambo. I'd bet if you notch up the difficulty a bit, it will be much much more strategic than what we've seen so far.

Ok so heres a strategy,Your guy distracts a wraith,and then other guy boards it,I can already see it.
