Has anyone noticed that the Hunters and Brutes can melee you from a pretty far distance?

It looks like they're not even hitting you. It's like the hitbox for the ODST soldier is too big or something.

The Sausage King of Chicago.

The only serious problem I have had (Well, more like a glitch) was on ONI Alpha Site (Campaign, not Firefight) where you were in the courtyard of the ONI Building. I was fighting a Hunter Leader and then, after I meleed him once, he just stood there and looked at me. When I walked around to melee him in the back, he followed me, but wouldn't attack me. I fired at him, but still no reaction. So I just let the critter die.

I havent noticed that issue with the brutes. But with the hunters, it is pretty obvious. It is difficult to gauge the appropriate distance to avoid being hit.

And as I recall, this was not the same with Halo 3 hunters.

Yea, me and my friends got lagged out with 2 or 3 enemies left on set 4, round 3, wave 5. I mean I already got the endure achievement, but someone literally was seconds away from getting it before we all got lagged out.

I always get button lag which obviously makes it hard lol, but my main complaint is the last firefight game I just played it had some sort of connection error. I don't remember it all but it had something like Co-op failure.. 1 1/2 hours of my life gone :( I had some wicked good stats too. Suckfest :(

firefight lag should be fixed idk if this is because of the server or peoples connection being to slow but seeing as alot of people have complained id say its bungies odst firefight hosted server. maybe a dlc for more firefight leveles/campaign addon as the original was short.and possibly a patch for online cooping with people for the campaign and firefight modes.

If theater had a record... I have been hit from unreal distances by hunters. I really dont know a good way to accurately describe this. I would have to say, "from front to back of a warthog length" if not slightly more.

Extraterrestrial life detected, attempting communication:
"Hello, where can I find the space bathroom?"

Sometimes, when playing Firefight, I get extremely itchy. At times it can be almost frightening.

Patch plz.

Ok, glad to see others are seeing this too.

And just for reference, I wasn't playing online or anything, so lag is not a reason for it. It happens in both Firefight and the Campaign.

*falls to his knees* my baby is back! *nussles his magnum*

sigh I forgot to mention it I think but the fact phantoms protect the wraith/ghost/chopper below it from any damage, or the inability to kill anyone but the gunners until like 5 feet our of the ship. halo 3 didnt do it halo 2 didnt if I remember so why now?

makes it seem uncannon and a little overboard for the covies, I understand not being able to destroy the phantom itself (lag lots of lag) but theres really no reason to why we cant kill the passengers or dropables.

Im sure you did it to make firefight hard but to be honest with turrets fireing at you from all sides its hard enough to kill them as it is.

ive also noticed the phantoms side turrets are able to shoot through the phantom on crater when its dropping covies in the middle. theres no clipping :/





as for other non phantom bugs ive encounterd 2 pimp brutes a hunter that would only shoot but be friendly up close and not smack me, and a few brute choppers on lost platoon that do not attack when driver has no armor, they just sit there and dont care if you jack them, (one of which was a pimp brute hijacked and he walked towards me and pimpslapped at the time thought it was an easter egg :/)

Im trying to get to the mission "Data Hive", But when I complete the mission before it, and find Dares helmet in the Mombasa Streets part, it takes me back to Buck, and all the other missions... why does it do this? Please message me the answer

  • 10.01.2009 11:32 PM PDT

Popitan

happened to me about 10 minutes ago and im really mad me and my friends spent alost 2 hours on firefight for the vidmaster and then get lagged out we were so close!

  • 10.01.2009 11:33 PM PDT

My only complaint with the game is that Dare sort of resembles Willem Dafoe in some scenes.

So i played through firefight on heroic into the 5th set. everyone in my party got the endure achievement but me. however, when we quit the game a form popped up saying my road to recon was complete (this was my last vidmaster) and made me hit 'A' to select 'yes i can haz recon!' but alas i cannot use the armor please can someone look into this it means a lot. Also i've emailed the webmaster i know he's busy but will i get a reply at some point?

There should be a switch somewhere on your profile to give you recon.

My friends and I beat the forth set on our first play through on alpha site. When the bonus round came up we lagged out before getting the achievement. Needless to say there was much cursing instead of rejoicing. We tried a second time and got it thankfully!!! but i know of friends that have tried countless times and still no achievement.

the ability of grunts and brutes to throw unlimited grenades from 15-halfway across the map. i would atleast like to see a limit anything from 5-15 grenades held by grunts/brutes would be better then unlimited and i would also like to see their throwing distance to be atleast a resonable range not like a grunt throwing a stick on catch 200 feet or more away and end up sticking u in the foot.

Firefight lag over xbox live.

First, it takes me forever to find players for one game, then when I do get a game most of the time my ODST walks around like he just ate 6 big macs and I can't aim or dodge for -blam!-. I can't play the game like this, this is garbage and needs to be fixed ASAP. Can't beleive they released the game knowing about this and haven't even acknowledged this and other problems this long after release.

Never before with any online game have I experienced this awkward movement lag. Not impressed.

Don't know if this is a glitch or what.

I was doing Campaign on heroic, and beat Kikowani Station. I had beat every mission, in order, before that. When I checked my map, it said I had to redo Tayari Plaza, Uplift Reserve, and the other Plaza.


Exactly my problem,except I was doing it on Legendary.
