| I like Halo's exuberance. | |

In Response To: Re: I find TB annoying at the start (Narcogen) http://highspeedhalo.net/?time&id=21 Though I do wonder how Insidi0us 'turns himself invisible' whilst navigating that 1st hallway. I can occassionaly (read 1 in 20) get past the first lot of Covies and get behind the ones who spawn around the corner but I'm still seen by the eyes in the backs of the Jackals' heads. You can trigger the door, hide behind the shield, and throw a plasma that can kill both Elites. You need to do it right and they aren't always hiding in that corner. Your motion tracker and your ears will tell you if they are. (If you hear alert Elite calls then you know you're in trouble) Its possible to kill the Elites and run diagonally left, down the slope and along the left rock wall down the left side of the pyramid. You can get away with the Banshee even with the Wraith there, but its all luck. (There is a tree for cover for part of the run across the open.) So you could do that part faster than Insidi0us but then you'd have an almost empty PP and shotty, and maybe just some frags to get past the Covies in the room after the bridge. I suppose if any of us were up to that challenge then we'd have done it already :-) But even if you aren't superhuman, its still possible to take out the two Elites with the one plasma grenade, overcharge PP one of the Jackals, run forward and finish him off then use the canisters for partial cover as you run round killing the last Jackal and the Grunts. Its ok as long as you aren't afraid of dying, and playing safe can still get you killed. It just takes longer :-) That's the great thing about Halo, you aren't punished for dying, and you die gloriously. <- That's a serious point. Ragdoll floppy deaths are not photogenic. They are embarassing. I hope that Halo 3 has the most photogenic and spectacular deaths out there. If you're going to die then you might as well do it with style. I like Halo's exuberance.
