Poll of the Day > The covenant AI in Halo: CE is rather engaging

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is Player 2 in CE a girl? There's a Spartan pod on the second floor that has a name take some something like ERIN-046 (I'd have to play again to check again)

No both are playing as the Master Chief but that other spartan you're talking about is Linda IIRC so yeah it's a girl.

You could play as her(or the other members of Blue team) if you play Coop in Halo 5 though.

You're right, it's Linda... I coulda sworn it said ERIN though...

Anyways, I started up Reach... not sure if I wanna do Halo 1 LASO or not, I'm on Truth and Reconciliation for that. DEFINITELY won't be doing Halo 2 LASO since the load times are so poopy, but Reach loads like 4x faster than even Halo CE so ... ya

...

I just wanted to make a joke though: Halo Reacharound: You play as Ignoble Sex and there's a furry on the team

I started Halo MCC today and was disappointed by the MP. It feels kinda bear bones version of each games multi.

In the collection, the Halo theme in the menu.... the choir part sounds a little too much like Hank Hill

lmao

I'm halfway through Reach and, well, it's pretty good.

The AI is still not as good as CE in terms of PvE, but the enemies now behave a lot more like player bots rather than monster bots (if that makes any sense) so it's still cool, but annoyingly tricky since Elites can tweak out of anything.

Also, I'm detecting a theme with the plot so far

Jorge just sacrificed himself, and it was very sad - but as you are falling back to Reach you see the Covenant fleet come in - really stamping it in that the sacrifice was for nothing

What I really like about Reach's campaign is that you use your specific Spartan from the MP which makes Reach's campaign feel a lot more personal than any other Halo(and most other shooters).

War isn't pretty. Lokarin, you gotta take Team Noble & do everything you can to hold off the Covenant for as long as you can....

that happens a lot where they finish some crazy mission & then the covenant just do something that makes its look insignificant. take out a communication tower? covenant ship immediately shows up & blows up your ship.

I just finished Reach a little bit ago... was pretty good overall.

I had to google something though... I assumed the whole team died so I had to google when Jun died 'cuz I don't think I seen it, but he lives! Can't recall when he leaves the party though

Apparnetly I'm not the first to think about this; but it sounds a lot better in the actual game
