I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

Normal, I suppose. Because it's "normal".

Message me if you want, I will try to get back as soon as possible.

See you on the forums and in the games.

Mythic, plasma pistols and other weapons would melt your face off after one shot. With Mjolnir armor you'd still get screwed by concentrated firepower.

I thought you read the book? Did you not notice that Marines would get arms melted off by plasma shots?

In The Fall of Reach a singular needle from a Needler takes out a Spartan jetpacking. Linda is declared clinically dead after 5 plasma blasts, however she gets resuscitated later.

Oh Yes!

Normal hence the name.

It has to be higher than Normal. It's atleast Heroic, and that makes sense since it says that Heroic is the way Halo is meant to be played.
If a Brute hits you in the face on Normal, you lose some of your shields. In the books if you got hit with full Brute force, you'd get thrown 6ft backwards and almost lose conciousness.

On hiding dead bodies:

Inside another dead body. It's the last place they'll look
A corpse within a corpse.
CORPSEPTION.
Win.

None of them. You'd have to make a custom game mode to play in 'canon mode'.

You'd have to boost jump height, movement speed, weapon damage and shield strength massively.
A three-round-burst from an AR is supposedly able to take down a Grunt. In the game, it takes more than 20 armour piercing rounds.
Canonically, shields only drain by 'a flicker' from an AR 3RB. 6 of H3's Chain Gun turrets firing for quite a while is only able to drain a quarter, and a 'smattering' of 50mm high-explosive armour piercing cannon rounds drains the shield by a half.

Plasma weapon damage on Heroic is extreme, yet I think that it's close to canon.

Mythic doesn't make the player any weaker. It only makes the enemies more healthy, which I think is against the books.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Legendary.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I have tried to make "realistic" canon mode but its hard because you cant reduce enemmies health without them having weaker shields. Or is there a way?

  • 12.24.2010 6:53 AM PDT

a Bugie or 343 mploye declared heroic is the cannon dificult
