Have you tried reasoning with them?

That's just a play on some of the marine dialog in the game, however, you are right... if you are playing a low difficulty level. My advice would be to attempt Legendary if you feel it is not a challenge.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed if you fancy hardships, but if somehow you find yourself begging for more, try LASO (Legendary All Skulls On). Nobody in the world has beaten Halo 2 on LASO, at least not to my knowledge.

Another thing is that it could be just the earlier missions. I have noticed that the second half of the game, (from Regret onwards,) is more thrilling as well as more difficult. Perhaps they do indeed go hand in hand?

Either way, there is so much more to Halo 2 than the difficulty level, as you may soon realize. Enjoy your future of Halo 2!

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

Halo 2 Legendary is not "challenging". It's just difficult.

The Elite AI acts pretty dumb compared to Reach's.

Noob combo works wonders and Jackal Snipers are relatively easy to fight (remember their location and headshot). Bungie simply beefed up damage and health instead of ferocity.

i actually found halo reach's elites to be less mean than halo 2's elites... on halo 2 legendary the elites with those plasma rifles were pretty insane especially on cairo station

Halo 2 for Life!

make it hard by killing them only with beat downs.

it's hard to avoid there lunges but if your skilled enough in the art of prediction you should be alright.

That's what I meant. They only buffed the damage they do instead of how smart they act.

That's why noob combo works so much better in H2 (along with the generally OP plasma pistol tracking). You can use a lot of weapons for different Reach Elites to succeed with. Noob combo, Plasma Rifle+Headshot weapon, Needlers, Snipe and the AR

Not saying that they are more fun to fight, just more challenging.

Solid advice.
I think that the Elite trick became standard with this game. In the docking bays, you could spend 45 thousand million hours trying to get through using standard means. (And will admit I didn't use the trick for all of my CE time before 2...yikes, embarrassing...) Yet, send a plasma and follow up...it's gravy. Grunts seem roughly the same, but far more "cute" in this one.

Hi
I have just got this game, and the first thing i noticed is that elites are really easy to kill. They fight back really lamely, and you just have to go up to them and beat them to death.

maybe on easy or normal but if you play it on legendary, they'll make sure of your death if you're within 5 meters of ones range.

I did. It took me almost three months all the way through. Never again.

It's too easy to say you did it, a lot harder to actually do it. I don't believe you unless you care to explain how you survived, say, Cairo. Maybe a step by step description.

Once every couple of months someone comes on and says, yeah, I did it. There's never any proof.

I'm on my phone right now at work so I'll write up Cairo when I get home on the computer.

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

Regret too please.

-_- I don't particularly want to spend my whole evening writing up how I beat a bunch of levels in a video game. If I have time I'll do regret.

I'd appreciate a detailed write-up, even though you're not obligated to do any such thing. I would like to be convinced you did it because I know I never will.

I look forward to your WOT, if nothing else we may learn more SLASO tactics from you. Too bad you couldn't film it because it's a pretty big deal for gamers like myself.

Also, just do Regret if you want, that would kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

I know :/ I would love a PVR but alas, life costs money.

And like I said, if I have time I'll do Regret.

R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

Play on legendary and then lets just see how easy they are. I bet you won't even get past cairo station.

had a go at LASO, grunt killed me with 4 pp rounds so each bolt cuts over 30% of your shields. during the longest period i survived against an elite i managed to put 54 BR rounds on him (1 and a half clips, have yet to kill an elite on LASO).

the angry, mythic and catch skill give the enemies a terrifying boost in combat, the turret was blown up 5 seconds after the covy enter the room!

cant imagine what the regret boss battle, the start of gravemind, infiltrating the scarab and uprising would be like on LASO

if i could JUST get my hands on the dead grunts PPs, that will make it possible to kill an elite, though the chances of him killing me first is still 85%
