In Response To: Re: How many people still play Halo? (Captain Spark)
: I played Halo 1 just yesterday, had a blast on Keyes and Assault of the

The megabattles are always great for a spot of intense replayable action, but I also still go through the levels quite a lot. The marathon experience of AOTCR is my favourite for that, and I play it lots of different ways to give myself challenges. I was on it last night, trying to get through on Legendary without ever losing a health bar, and also forbidding myself the use of vehicles and the sniper rifle. Nearing the final bridge (the icy one), I'd just killed the two Hunters in the preceding room, and now had to clear the corridor of Jackals and Grunts. A frag grenade took out the Jackals, but in a moment of overconfidence I waded in to take on the Grunts with an AR I'd just picked up. It was a needless risk. Unfortunately the mag emptied before everyone was down, which was sheer carelessness on my part. One of the fin-backed devils kept on coming, and as you know, on Legendary these guys can actually get pretty nasty with their plasma pistols. Before I could reload, I'd lost a health bar, making it game over for me. Defeated by a Grunt! Oh the shame...
