See that last part repeats for me until it's Monday morning.

Ugh
I'm going to spend all weekend trying to beat T&R

That's a shame. It would have been a great opportunity to incorporate some of the characters' canon traits into the gameplay: Kelly's speed, Linda's sniping skills, Fred's...

...I don't actually know what makes Fred special...

Da_Stronk_Destroyer 2016-11-24 03:06:55 UTC #968

His good looks, his personality...Maybe his prowess with a knife? I dunno.

Middlefingerstudios 2016-11-24 03:15:04 UTC #969

they actually do do this with their weapons and minor alterations to gameplay

Kelly's movement speed is actually faster than the others, there's some other alterations, I just don't remember what they are

legomaster1378 2016-11-24 03:16:21 UTC #970

I was really thinking about gameplay perks. Kelly could have a speed boost. Linda could be really accurate with Nornfang. As for Fred... maybe he could have a larger assassination range? That seems like the most feasible gameplay-impacting feature (even though it is rather limited).

I just would have liked your companions' in-game AI to have little quirks that would add to their characters. A feature like this would have really added to games like Star Wars: Republic Commando and Halo 5: Guardians.

Really? I've never actually played H5 so I wouldn't know. I do know it was a feature that was sorely lacking from Republic Commando...

Middlefingerstudios 2016-11-24 03:17:42 UTC #971

yeah there's some things, I think kelly also reloads faster

er maybe it's chief does in mid combat, IDK I kinda forget because I don't play a lot of co-op, I should change that

Da_Stronk_Destroyer 2016-11-24 03:18:16 UTC #972

Maybe give him a stronger Melee attack? have him use a knife more often?

Mrblackpants 2016-11-24 06:47:39 UTC #973

Make him more tolerant to alcohol so he isn't so drunk on the battlefield

EvilLobsterKing 2016-11-24 07:14:03 UTC #974

I jumped into Blue Team the other day to finish off the mission, because I was bored.

Linda revived me, and it wasn't very fun...

Xevins 2016-11-24 07:27:52 UTC #975

I'd argue he's a good leader but Chief is there everytime he is so it is wasted.

Halo legends implied that fred may be a heavy weapon guy but Halo Legends has questionable canon status.

Middlefingerstudios 2016-11-25 02:01:57 UTC #977

Fred actually outranks Chief IIRC, and he's just like "lol, chief's been to hell and back, destroyed two halo rings, and the didact, I'm not in charge"

Calebmar12 2016-11-25 03:08:37 UTC #978

I mean chief was told by hood that he could probably ask for admiral rank and there probably wouldn't be much of an argument against it

Da_Stronk_Destroyer 2016-11-25 05:17:15 UTC #979

Bruh, Chief could ask to be high lord and ruler of the universe, and nobody would question it.

Xevins 2016-11-25 05:18:04 UTC #980

That's partly because he got field promoted in order to lead the Spartans while Chief was off killing the Halos.

I still have trouble seeing exactly why Chief had to be separated from the rest before H2.
(First strike confirms they reunite after H1 but before H2)

So I recently got Halo 2 for Windows; the servers work on multiplayer and everything and there seems to be a fair amount of people on there. Does anybody else play on their computer?

Mrblackpants 2016-11-29 20:01:55 UTC #982

I play Halo 1
But you can use your Halo 2 cd code to install custom edition and do the multiplayer for combat evolved
So we could play together

Big Update coming to Halo 5 this Thursday!

Time to grind on those REQ points guys.

squeaverking 2016-12-07 02:19:49 UTC #984

Reach Operator is dippergodly, I wonder what the requirements to get it are, since it's a special unlock.

Xevins 2016-12-07 03:17:43 UTC #985

That EOD coming in 2017 is a godsend.

Finally I can rock my favorite helmet.

Bonus points on it being the ever popular reach version.
