Also, one thing I did learn from your run was that when melee fighting Elites you dot he opposite of what you'd do to Brutes; Brutes require your to juke right whereas Elites seem easier to backsmack if you move left around them.
Yes. This is because elites are anatomically similar to spartans. No, gross, not like that. I meant both elites and spartans can be assassinated by hitting them in the right shoulder. When I first land on the corvette, notice the angle which I assassinate the ranger when he flies up to me and the two rangers at the terminals. Try it in multiplayer! I believe Halo: Reach Mythbusters has an episode on that. Also, from what you're telling me, I'm gathering that it's NOT suicide to get in a melee fight with a brute? Thanks! That will really help me on Exodus :)
Mhm. I remember they did in a Halo 3 episode of it and noticed it still applies. As for melee fights with Brutes...unless it's a Chieftain with a heavy weapon, you'll get punished by their uber powerful melee for trying. Then again, there might a way to properly dodge their retaliatory swings. The problem with the one they use on enemies that are behind them is that the swing starts outside of your periphery and comes from low as they swing.
Edit: I think I'm going to give my 360 a break until tonight. It's never a good sign when it freezes, but at least it didn't red-ring when it froze and when I turned it back on afterward.
