In Response To: Halo PC Strategy Guide "Weapon Gamer Tips" -> (Doug Radcliffe)
:Human Grenades detonate faster and are best used against large groups of Grunts, Jackels. I find they are better at killing the Flood then the plasma grenades.Also, Human grenades bounce and roll. That always helps for those times your forced to hide like a sissy and bounce grenades off walls or roll them around corners.
I find plasma grenades take longer to detonate and work less well than the Human grenades at clearing out Flood and some of the Covenant. Moreover, If you manage to stick one a Flood, He often brings it back to you, the Kamakazi way. Bottom line use human grenades if possible, if you have none, aim for the floor and hope. Aside from this, plasma grenades don't suck. When you learn how to aim and stick them, you will be able to kill anything and everything from a distance you choose. Eventually, When you become great(like me) you will even stop shooting at banshees altogether and just 'stick it' with a plasma grenade as it passes. When that happens, you never forget your first. Finally, when you know your about to die always, always, always let a grenade loose and take them with you.
Hey guys!
: Been a bit since I posted but wanted to thank all of you who responded to my
: query about what you would love to see in a Halo PC strategy guide. You
: had some great ideas and I really appreciate all your comments and
: suggestions. If you didn't see my original post, my name is Doug Radcliffe
: and I'm authoring the official Halo PC strategy guide. I'm a big fan of
: Halo and Bungie having been a part of previous Bungie game communities
: (Myth is my all-time favorite game!).
: To repeat what I said in my initial post, one of my goals in the book is to
: give the Halo community a voice -- I'd like to community to be a part of
: the guide -- and halo.bungie.org is obviously a huge segment of that
: community.
: So, with that said, I'm going to include "Gamer Tips" (that's
: probably not the official name for them but it'll do for now) in the
: guide. These are "veteran" or expert Halo tips straight from
: players in the Halo community -- you!
: You can send your gamer tips to my email address, doug_radcliffe@yahoo.com .
: I'd prefer email as I will check that more often than this thread, though
: I'll check back here as well.
: If you submit a tip and it's used in the guide, your name (or handle if you
: wish, please let me know if you prefer what name is used with the tip or
: I'll just use whatever is next to your email address) will be included
: alongside the tip. Also, your name will appear in the acknowledgements
: section of guide. If you need an example of how it would appear in the
: guide, let me know.
: It may not be possible to include each and every tip submitted, though I will
: certainly try to fit it in somewhere!
: If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me!
: I'll make posts when requesting new tips. The first batch of tips in this
: post deal with "weapons". Focus your tips on the single-player
: game only for now, not multiplayer. Also, dont be specific to a level
: because there will be level tips later. Keep the weapon tips more general,
: though you can be specific to certain enemies. Any unique/veteran style
: tips on weapons will be perfect. Even personal anecdotes, cool things to
: try, etc etc.
: I asked the HBO staff about including those already submitted to the tips and
: tricks section. He said it would be fine as long as the original submitter
: was credited. Any of those used will be credited exactly like submitted
: tips.
: Whew! So, let me know if you have questions. Email me your "weapon"
: tips to doug_radcliffe@yahoo.com . I can't promise I'll reply to each and
: every email but I'll definitely try.
: Thanks very much!
: Doug Radcliffe
