I am playing the Maw/Final Run part of the epic thing that is Halo CE and I saw 2 things that I have not seen before. Both occured on Legendary Campaign.
1-I had blown all 4 reactors and was just wasting time to piss off Cortana. Yeah, 15 minutes to get off the ship? We will see about that! I had been playing with the spawning flood and sentinels for 10 minutes or so when I picked up a Plasma Pistol near the top of the 3rd floor gantry entrance, passed through the opening to get some cover, turned around to start pinging at sentinels and when I let loose with a few taps on the trigger all I saw was the small flash at the end of the weapon and where the round impacted. The actual animation of the round moving through the air was gone! It was very odd looking, I could see the lil puff of green when it impacted on some flood that were closing in on me. It was something I had never seen before and will not soon forget, it just looked so strange, but very cool!
2-For the first time ever playing this game, I got a checkpoint during the Final Run hog jaunt. I thought it was impossible to get one! It happened with roughly 2:30 left on the timer. The cool thing about it is that I can try some stunts that I typically do not bother with because you always have to start the run over from the beginning and it is just a pain to do them that way. Now, starting over half way through each time, it allows me the pleasure of having fun! I want to see if there are any other interesting things besides the food nipple grunt down some of the other pathways that covies and flood come out of.
Odd stuff, but nice to know that after 7 years of playing the game, still new stuff to be had! At least for me anyway...
