Re: Forerunner Units
Posted By: Ragashingo <ragashingo@mac.com>Date: 2/10/13 8:41 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Forerunner Units (RC Master)


: What are you talking about? Watchers are Drones (shoot at you, annoying) and
: Engineers (give shields to allies, timid) combined with a 'catch grenade'
: function added.

: Their spawning from Knights is even like how Tank forms in Halo 3 spat out
: extra flood spores.

Ok, yes, there are some similarities, but Watchers respond on a personalized interactive level to player actions where Drones were JUST annoying and Engineers just floated and passively shielded. And the Flood Tank was completely and totally useless. I can't recall ever being killed by one, much less challenged or even impeded.

The Watchers may not be perfect, in particular I dislike that they have a face, but they are much better than Crawlers which are just fast non grenading grunts that sometimes stick to walls, and Knights which are just reskined Elites with occasional infuriating teleportation.
