ATTENTION EVERYONE! WAIT FOR THE CREDITS TO END! THERE IS A CUTSCENE AFTER THEM!

MOD EDIT: This is the worst OP I have ever seen. You should be ashamed.

Something along the lines of (in 12 year old whine of course)

OMG YOU FAGGOT YOU CANT EVEN SNIPE LOLOLOL

The_Scarab

SHOULD HAVE LET THE OLD THREAD GET TO 117 PAGES YOU FOOLS.

YOU FOOLS!

darleysam

tried it many a time, Moses, it hasn't worked yet. People are too hasty

edit: does anyone know where i can download a good quality version of the 'making of the Monument' video, with the awesome music and stuff?

edit 2: i've found a version on Gametrailers, but it's pretty low-res. Oh well. I wish they were on the LE dvds or something, but i guess they were finished too late.

SpikedFreak

Quick, steal 043's OP.

There isn't enough lime in the world.

Typhus733

All I can say after playing through the first mission and a large chunk of the second....epic.

Also does dual smgs seem so much better now to anyone else? I cleared

the hallway of brute on the way to the barracks in mission 2

using just them until my ammo ran out

Daric

I preferred the LAAG turret I ripped off the ground. Seemed to work pretty well.

powerss

Beat the game

I cried.

switzky21

Any turret works pretty well.

Also, anyone die really easy when they use the Flamethrower? I can't stop walking into the pretty fire, it's like I'm fucking Master Moth.

SniperGuy

Oh, so to copy my post from the other thread, why does it tell me that my NAT is closed, and that it will be slow? because I tried to play online and it was terrible slow. Also, my bungie.net service record doesn't even think I've played yet. Whazzup with that?

Daric, I didn't really get why

HUGE SPOILERS OMG DON'T READ EVER

They didn't find the tube that he was frozen in. The Arbiter got home okay, and they were on the same ship...So what happened?

LewieP

Anyone in the USA got the Legendary edition yet?

Opinions on the packaging and extras would be great.

Forar

IT BEGINS!

SniperGuy

Ok, Achievement questions.

What's the metagame and why are there points? Also, what are the "terminals"?

Score 15,000 points per mission and get an achievement per mission. I think the achievement is worth 25 or 30. Locate and access all the terminals for another achievement

And Lewie, I have the Legendary version and I love the packaging. The Box has a poster that wraps around when laid out is the chief standing tall. And the Helmet is really cool looking. If you like having game related merchandise (action figures and crap), get this.

Well yeah, but what are points, and what's a terminal?

Heroic is really starting to piss me off

Points are awarded for kills. The more technical the kill (head shot as compared to a body shot), the higher the points awarded. Die and your points are reduced at the continue even further than they were when you first got to that checkpoint.

And i'm not sure about terminals, haven't really looked for them. I'm guessing they'll be something similar to the Marathon terminals.

switzky21

Except impossible to find.

I've gone through the whole game, and I never saw one.

powerss

I cried.

I did watch after the credits, on Youtube. I mistakenly hit "A" when the "Love, Bungie" screen came up - I thought it required a button-press to pass. Fuck, that screwed me.

powerss

I found two terminals. I don't know how many are there in total.

Dusda

Must...resist urge to click...

Yeah, same here.


REAL ACTUAL SPOILER

So, why do you think everyone thinks Chief is dead? And more importantly, why did he freeze himself.

Oh, and if the Arbiter was on the same ship as the Chief, then why is he on Earth and the Chief is lost?

QuestionMarkMan

When the hell is the big surprise supposed to happen!?!?!

MaverikV

the barracks with allt he brutes

Seriously, what the fuck. I have full body armor and die in three hits. They are fucking monkeys with stcks and i have to shoot them for 3 hours to kill them

I have to headshot the armored ones about 75 times to kill them

WTH

DeMoN

My screenshots aren't appearing on bungie.net

Klyka

Guys,I don't even HAVE the game yet and I have to explain the ending to you?

*sigh*

Ok listen up:
REAL FUCKING ENDING SPOILER

At the end when the arbiter makes the ship jump, only the arbiter's half of the ship jumps because the explosion interfered with the jump. So the people on earth and the Arbiter think that the half with master Chief was incinerated. So they have a funeral for him,their greatest hero. At the end, master CHief and Cortana are in the wreckage of the back half of the torn ship and Cortana sends a signal to earth but it could take YEARS to reach it. So Master Chief goes in cryo sleep cause, you know, waiting and not eating for years is kinda boring. And then, the wreckage with him inside drifts toward a planet. THE END

Is everyone happy now? Did you all understand it?

edit: beat evangir like the slowpoke he is :P

Oh dear god major spoilers, don't click you jerks!

The Arbiter got out on some sort of escape pod, and I guess he didn't know the Chief survived (I suppose the Halo detonation prevented Chief/Cortana from speaking? Who knows EDIT: Klyka is probably right... Different ends of the portal). The ship was chopped in half by the closing of the portal. They're stranded in deep space. So he's freezing to survive until rescue arrives.

Oh yeah, OMG I'm back on forums again! Going over a week without arguing with anyone on the PA forums was rough, lemme tell ya!

Kill the one with the stick by any means necessary and pick it up. 2 hits (first stuns and knocks the armor off) and the brutes go flying in legendary. One hit and your toast.

That's what I thought, actually.

REAL ACTUAL FUCKING ENDING SPOILER

But the back half still jumped, right? I could swear Cortana mentioned something about them jumping.

And do you think they'll let the series die, or explain how (if?) Chief gets back to Earth?

Maybe that's the Peter Jackson side-story thing.

MaverikV

The problem is if I step out I insta die, and the one with the stick is the big pussy that stands behind cover and yells at the others to attack

Is there any way to change the difficulty level after you've started? This is fucking bullshit
