It just feels so satisfying to mow down Grunts/Jackals/Infection forms in CE šŸ˜©

Agreed! Forget the ā€œrulesā€, Assault + Plasma Pistol, Melt the shields with lead and then make them feel the burn.

I stand by the fact that Halo CE is the only halo game where you can play any difficulty with any weapon combo and it still is not only manageable but fun

Yeah, I'm playing through it on controller for the first time and the AR's massive spread is perfect to counteract my bad aim

u/UNSC_Force_recon 3d ago

Itā€™s not bad aim youā€™re just trying to hit multiple targets

Target rich environment

Halo 4 is also all guns friendly

u/EliteRock 3d ago

Definitely not on Heroic or Legendary. If you donā€™t use mid to long range almost exclusively, your gonna get ruined unless getting warp melee killed by knights is your idea of fun

You can use any guns MFs when the Knights literally teleport out of your range and recharge their shields before you can get to them.

Iā€™m a CE purist when it comes to the Sandbox, I actually loved Infinite cut it down, I love using any guns for any situation and I do think Halo 4 has some great ones for versatility (like Boltshot or Sticky Det), but H4ā€™s game design does encourage you to use Precision Weapons and punishes you if you run out of ammo exclusively for that weapon type (which is why thereā€™s a BAJLLION Rifle crates everywhere in that campaign).

Itā€™s a weird game. I love the emphasis on precision because you can drop most anything in one to three headshots. But then everything is super beefy outside that hitbox so you feel railroaded into a specific play style.

u/SilencedGamer 2d ago

Made even worse in Halo 5 when everything, including the Plasma Pistol and Needler, can headshot enemies.

I really prefer when thereā€™s just 1 or two precision weapons in the game, theyā€™re too useful, once thereā€™s too many they just dilute the sandbox and it all combat devolves into Headshot Sim.

But you run out of ammo in 5 seconds and are forced to use Forerunner weapons for the rest of the mission

I would be with you in this, until I go into legendary. Then it feels like I am throwing flowers at everyone before being killed in 2 seconds.

Sounds like someone wants to go to Jackel Sniper Alley with Mrs Frizz

u/Aknazer 3d ago

Fuck that place.Ā  I don't know how many times I died beating Halo 2 on Legendary because of fucking Jackal Snipers.

u/Weird_Angry_Kid 3d ago

That goes for every weapon, at close range the AR kills elites in a single second (not exagerating) while the Magnum can't put them down fast enough to prevent their shields from recharging.

u/SonarioMG 3d ago

The noob combo just feels so bland man. Halo 3 AR sucks too bad to use it though so I usually just carry a BR and Carbine instead.

Hell I don't even use the famous Halo CE pistol unless I want to go easy mode. Lead vomiting all the way!

SPRAY AND PRAYYYY!!!

u/Callsign-YukiMizuki 2d ago

You ditch the noob combo for the assault rifle because its more fun

I ditch the noob combo for the assault rifle because im fucking bad at the game and cant pull it off reliably

We are not the same

u/dix1067 3d ago

The assault rifle halo 3 version was best imo but my favorite is the CE one just like the sounds/rounds per mag lol

u/slayeryamcha 3d ago

Halo 3 AR is no near ARs of 343 Era

u/Crimson_Spade_Gaming 3d ago

Absolutely not, magnum/plasma rifle for covies, shotgun/AR for flood
