| Re: Recantment Accepted! | |

In Response To: Re: Recantment Accepted! (Ducain) : I'm touting my ignorance here, but Lone Wolf theoretically goes on : indefinitely right - covies just keep spawning? Yeah, every 1 or 2 kills new guys pop in. If you don't kill anyone, then nobody new shows up, except for the Spirit dropships which just fly by and then leave; they don't actually drop anyone off. Each Spirit is new (so taking out the gun on one doesn't really help, since when it comes back it'll have a new cannon), but they follow a pattern. Initially grunts and elites spawn in as you mow down covies. There's 21 grunts, as mentioned, which spawn in -- they're randomly either garden variety grunts or the Hero grunts w/ helmets. Once the grunts are gone, it's all elites. At the beginning the elites are randomly Minors, the orange kind (what are they called again?), and Heroes. Eventually the elites get better weaponry, with Heroes or orange Elites carrying the Focus Rifle, and Heroes and eventually Generals carrying Concussion Rifles. Generals can also carry swords. Even on Easy, after about 50 kills Elites just mercilessly run at you until they have an open shot, and then fire. At some point it just becomes impossible to stay alive as you run out of ammo and get flooded with concussion rifle shots. At most, I've gotten about 70 kills (on Easy, of course). Actually, I should probably specify that enemy aggressiveness is most likely based on time. If you kill nothing and perfectly hide yourself, you can see this. At first, enemies will kinda meander around, passively hoping to see you. After about 8 minutes, they'll be right on top of you, and perhaps randomly knocking around obstacles to try to find you. There's also imposter Banshees flying overhead; I've never killed one, I think they're just for show. One interesting departure from the standard enemy list is the Phantom that flies overhead at the onset of the level. It has no side gunners, and will take a few potshots at you before flying off to its holding position:
That's him, off in the distance. It'll stay there until you succumb. Oh, there's also Wraiths, but they don't bother you much really except for the occasional random shot when they get a clear look at you. I don't know if killing them causes new Wraiths to respawn; I'll have to try that out. Well, that was probably way too much info, but hopefully it answered your question. TL;DR Yes.
