"I'm not going to lie to you, Lieutenant. You're stepping into some dangerous shoes the rest of the squad would rather leave unfilled. Me, I'm just happy to have Noble back up to full strength. I read your files, even the parts ONI didn't want me to see. I'm glad to have you're skill set. But we're a team. That lone wolf stuff, it stays behind. Got it?" "Yes, sir." "WELCOME TO REACH."

Honestly, the first time I played it I was scared out of my mind because I was a beginner Halo player. I just jetpacked and hid in the ceiling for a long time.

But my favourite way to kill it is either hijack a Banshee, smash its wings off, and fly it through the control room, or lure it outside, get it near the plasma battery, shoot it,m and let it evade away from the explosion and off the edge.

There is no 'favorite way' it's the Reach campaign.

It's also kind of fun to jump off the edge and make it think your dead, but save yourself with the jetpack, the come back up and surprise him. Mehehe I'm a ghost! >:3

No, just a little bit crazy.

If you're implying that the Reach campaign is narrow... you're wrong. Actually, I think if you haven't found more than one way to kill it, you're sort of narrow-minded for not exploring different methods.

It's funny because Reach's campaign is super linear.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

I find it fun when he gets in the banshee and I hijack it back, it works just as easy in Multiplayer.

Otherwise I find it funny to make him walk off, I feel a slight bit of joy watching his body fall.

Actually, now looking back at it... I know what you mean. I think that's mainly for story purposes, and I'm one of the few gamers who actually care about story, so I'm fine with it. Sill, there are multiple methods to killing that Ultra.
