I think that level is one of the most disappointing anti-climactic levels of all Halo games.


Really?

I mean yeh, I was hoping for a better showdown around the composer, but the rest was great.


I think I phrased it poorly but I meant specifically that moment where you pass the small UNSC army with the suggestion that you will return at some point and fight alongside them against a Covenant attack...... but that just doesn't happen.

I'd compare it to the intro cutscene to Tip of the Spear, where you see the huge UNSC army and get excited about the upcoming MEGA BATTLE but that just..... doesn't happen.

I still don't really get the H4 campaign. Why did the Chief and Cortana think firing one missile at one of three Covie cruisers, from the wreck of the Dawn, would accomplish anything?

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

It did a good job showing the Covenant as horrifying killing machines. the first time you walk into the hangar and that Jackal does that Velociraptor jump onto the poor scientist while Energy sword Elites are spilling out of Phantoms and all the people are running for dear life. I also loved how Tilson was shocked that the Covenant were shooting down the escape craft. It's pretty much the Covenant's day job to destroy escape pods. I would have loved a Scarab show up for the Composer fight though.

You pass the Composer for the first time and it is surrounded by soldiers, turrets and Mantis mechs. When I passed those guys I immediately thought "Well we'll be back here soon, and this is going to be an amazing battle"..... but nope. That just doesn't happen.

It's like Tip of the Spear all over again.


I thought the same thing, but the lack of corpses and nicely parked mantis's means one thing. The general evac order applied to those guys as well and they got the hell out of there :P.

I don't know the fact that they can talk while in a vacuum, kind of makes me believe the station has some form of atmoshperic shielding that only fails once the MC returns to the area.


I think that's pretty much it. First time it's shielded from space. Second time the shielding is destroyed or disabled, hence why the phantoms and banshees are able to fly in.

I don't think that was supposed to be some long term solution, the whole reason you were launching the missile was because of the cruiser bearing down on the wreckage to either blast it with Plasma Torpedoes or glass it with the Energy Projector. So I thought the missile was just to deal with the one cruiser to buy at least a little bit more time to reach and escape pod. *shrug* That's my understanding of that particular part of the level anyway.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Are you serious OP? The Station has shields you don't see that field emanating from the composer? not to mention you had to turn shields on so the covenant could stop getting in.

The biggest "flop" is the Didact and what is going on with him not something as stupid as this.

Thats all it was, nothing complicated. I think you just don't get it since stopped following halo flamedude.
