Re: The Library aint so bad

In Response To: Re: The Library aint so bad (Narcogen)

: nothing but
: Flood opponents-- no Covenant at all.

The Covenant were better because they were an varied ensemble of great characters.

But we have lost the Grunts, Hunters, and Elites.

Unless there is a story shakeup, the Covenant line up in H3 will be: Jackals, sniper Jackals, Drones, and Brutes.

Jackals were an important part of the original mix but they were the least charismatic members.

Sniper Jackals stop you from just leaping out of cover and mixing it up. My natural instinct is to be a coward and snipe from miles away, but that sucks the fun from the game.

Bungie used the Drones sparingly in Halo 2 because swarms of flying foes are a pita for a fps. Its impossible to target an enemy at the zenith because the reticle doesn't go that high. You can't see were you are going whilst looking that far up, so you get stuck on the geometry at the worst possible moments.

I found fighting Brutes to be uninteresting. They were just buffoons.

Given that lineup, I would find it hard to choose between Covenant and Flood.

Maybe the Elite/Grunt/Hunter Faction could have their own agenda and the Chief could be framed for a crime he didn't commit :P.

Then you have to fight various combinations of: Flood, Covenant, Faction, and Humans. :)

Now that would be fun.
