I may be boring the long timers with my weird game play posts but I am at it again, this time not allowing myself to use any grenades.

Pillar of Autumn is no sweat, but once you get to Halo and T & R (where I am now) it becomes a real pain in the arse to never use a grenade of either kind. I am so used to being able to take out elites with a plasma tossed into their face, groin (my personal fave) or butt (alot of time they end up on their shoulder though, my aim sucks at times!) that I did not realize how much tougher it would be to play never giving myself that option.

I anticipate that later into the levels I get the more ridiculous this idea will become.............ah, for the love of a good experiment!

What difficulty are you planning? Legendary T&R I couldn't even imagine how insanely difficult that would make gameplay.
Halo would be quite tricky until you get the warthog. Once you get that, you don't even need to get out from behind the wheel.

Wow, that sounds incredibly difficult. Taking on Elites on Legendary would be ridiculous.

Waffles > Pancakes. End of story.
I <3 Bungie :)

That sounds like a great idea. My internet is down, so I can't play Halo 3. That will give me a chance to play Halo again.

Play, as usual is on legendary. I am going through Silent Cartographer at this point and the Elites are def tougher due to their distance and their uncanny ability to dodge plasma overcharges and needles. The needler is becoming a great weapon for this type of play. Taking out a number of Grunts in a small area, then needle one till he explodes and watch the carnage as the dropped plasma's take out pretty much anything else within pissing distance, watch em fly! This is a great way to take out certain elites that are proving tough to kill. Normally I limit my weapons choices to make the gameplay tougher, but not using nades has the exact opposite effect, now I use pretty much anything I can get my MC mitts on. During T & R I used virtually every sniper round I came across on board the ship, sniping Covies on the upper platforms from the hanger area (spawning them then dropping down to the lower levels to snipe). It is so hard to resist that left trigger!
