Strategy Guides are for girls, just like seatbelts and safetys on guns, and painkillers during surgery! And bungie chords in bungie jumping....

Just kidding, I ve just never purchased them, you should write a sultry letter to the editor of the strategy guide, like start it out with "When I'm all alone at night I like to fantasize about...." Oh woops off topic there,

Go team Halo, and Cartman when he dresses up like Hitler for halloween

Lol. Stragety guides are good for about 5 minutes. Then you just find yourself deviating from them because they're so bad and you know better.

That strategy guide sucks. It is wrong in SO many places. But you don't need it for anything. I bought it for views of the multiplayer maps.

bah

The pistol sucks on Elites in campaign. I can kill them quicker with any other weapon. The pistol is exremely effective against all other Covenant and the Flood though. And for those moments when the marines turn on you.

he pistol is amazing against any other enemy besides elites, where its average, however if the elites sheild is down then its one shot one kill(assuming you hit them in the head with the slug) its amazing against covenant when you pair it up with a plasma weapon to ring down sheilds

  • 09.20.2004 9:23 AM PDT

bah

I find any plasma weapon effective all by itself. Just melee the Elite twice when the shields are down and hit it a few more times with fire and it's gone.

I believe there actually is a Banshee on AotCR, it's just hard to get. I've never gotten it, but I've seen videos of people flying it. You'll have to get the directions from somebody else, but here's a general overview. You have to re enter the Pelican before it leaves, and ride it down the well. After a certain point you have to jump out. If you do this right you'll survive and land on the ground of the well. Nearby you'll find a parked Banshee. Just a general idea of what to do, there is probably explicit directions out there somehwere.

ow that was so wrong my brain hurts. grphiw you've got two different things confused there first there is a banshee in AotcR here goes: after you get the tank you have a choice of going through the tunnel in front of the tank of the canyon path to the left. You take that path to the left and look up there will be a platform if you fire a rocket at the bottom of the platform right where the angled support ends a banshee should fall down. If it doesnt you have done this wrong and should try again. What you were talking about is an easter egg. At the beggining of the level right after you get out of the pelican you need to turn around and press "x" you will then be seated in side the pelican again the pelican goes down the shaft you came up and after awhile you will be surrounded by a green fog the pelican will then flip and if you are lucky you will end up on a platformy kinda thing which you can not escape from unless you kill yourself. I hope i helped clear some of your confusion up.

strategy guides are -blam!- especially for games with a good plot because its more fun just to figure it out by yourself.
