Oops, I'm not used to the layout here. Noob alert (like anyone didn't already notice). lol
And thanks to Dark Hunter for recommending the plasma-pistol. It's never been my favourite weapon in any Halo, but I'd forgotten how much more lethal it is in Halo 1. The lock on is almost inescapable, whereas in Reach they just dodge it (I struggle to land it anyway). Once charged it's like a homing-grenade in Anniversary.
Those Hunters (my faves) still go down too easy and somehow they seem less alert (again it's probably after playing Halo3), I was hoping they'd fine-tune the gameplay too. Not just the graphics, I'd have double the health for all the hunters and put a little extra ammo in the areas where you face them. Have their guns changed too. I remember green-beam weapons which were far more lethal than the greem plasma-bomb launchers. I'd also make the overshield run out quicker, it's too comforting as is. Could you really not pick up plasma swords in Halo 1? I can't believe I don't remember that.
And finally I thought Halo 2 was easiest on legendary, then 1, then 3. I died an amazing number of times on the 2nd or 3rd level in Halo 3, the level where you have to wade through an entire army of Brutes in corridors. Other than that Halo 3 was easy on legendary too. I have done ODST on Heroic, but again there are 3 points in that game I don't think I can get past on legendary. That one is too hard for me I think. I'd be more likely to try and do Reach. Also I feel guilty shooting the engineers poor fellows.
Halo 2 was my fave overall. The sheer epicness of it all, and I loved the bosses. My all time favourite Halo level was the one where you kill the prophet at the end in the boss fight after leaving a ridiculous trail of dead elite guards and hunters. My 2nd fave level was the scorpion take-down also from Halo 2. I wish they'd release Halo 2 Anniversary too. I'd be on the pre-order straightaway. Halo 2 and Half-Life are my 2 fave games of all time. It would be a shame for that Halo to be the forgotten Halo, the one no-one plays anymore because of SD ugliness.
