I like Halo 2 because it gives me opportunities to formulate strategies. Like this. Same thing with Halo 3.
But in Reach, whenever I try to play conventionally (stay back and shoot from distance, snipe with sniper rifle, long distance plasma pistol bolts), I get crushed. The Elites have unreasonably fast shield recharge rates (it seems that way when I try shooting at them). In fact, whenever I try to take down Elites by shooting at them, I almost always get killed.
Even after setting up scenery blockades, it doesn't make a difference.
But when I try to take out Elites by assassination, it's much more easier. But there isn't much strategy in jumping off cliffs or sprinting around (although I have less trouble dealing with concussion rifle wielding Ultras). Besides, I only have fun when dealing with Ultra Elites. To be honest, it gets really, really boring trying to kill all the Covies to get a chance for Ultra Elites to spawn. I seriously wish they included Thunderstorm with the Reach Demo.
So yeah, I've given up all hopes of trying to combat Elites by shooting at them. Speaking of which, I would have given up on Reach if it weren't for the Ultra Elites.
