I think I've killed a dude with a grenade once... by accident. I just can't get my head around them. They seem to destroy me with ease, yet mine feel like fire-crackers.

Welcome to my world since Halo 2 onward.I think I've killed a dude with a grenade once... by accident. I just can't get my head around them. They seem to destroy me with ease, yet mine feel like fire-crackers.
It seems that way for a while, but there are ammo boxes in almost literally every room and combat space if you go a bit off the beaten path and start recognizing their profiles at a glance. That they're not more obvious is a little strange, given the way you really do just burn through ammo in that game.
There was I think 1 or 2 spots where I really struggled with ammo as well. Pretty scary lol

That's how it works. You play enemies at your skill level, you get better, play better opponents.
That usually happens as you start to play opponents of equal skill.

Already annoyed by various power up/ordinance bullshit. Going to play slayer pro next time I'm on and see how that is. Also some weapons are so bad kid proof, easy as pie to use.
I was thrilled to see them throwing Boltshots at me just as often as Plasma Pistols. I fucking LOVE me a Boltshot. NOM.

I had some ammo issues at the second and fourth mission.
The campaign is pretty good but it does some questionable things. Last mission spoiler:
The whole intro beginning was fun but I can imagine it will be annoying as hell and as an huge impact of the replayability. It should have been an extra mission...
Overall the campaign was a lot of more fun than Halo: Reach and 2. I'd put it on even ground with 3's campaign. One thing I missed and this was definitely a missed opportunity for 343i is
an exploration level like Halo. The Chief is on a gigantic shield world. The whole setting screams for an exploration level. But at the end we got more of those kinda Halo 3 types/Assault of the Control room levels.(Not a bad thing still and the Mammoth level was pretty new and kinda fresh ) I love the second area's opening, just because of the exploration. Finding Halsey's journal entry was nice etc. I wish the game had parts more like this.

No, what's happening is that my kills are being turned into assists. My last few games have been something 11 - 20 - 13 or some shit. It's ridiculous. I'm very tired of my teammates having more effective weaponry and grenades than me.
The campaign made me feel like fucking Macgyver. I used anything and everything to kill those bastards. I would have thrown the guns at them too if I could.

Light Rifle/ Scattershot was my favorite Promethean combo.
I would PM and I want skins but I don't have any more skins to offer if you're looking to trade. D:
Some Knights take 3 clips of the LR. Its crazy.

A worthy substitute to the plasma rifle.
I'll grab it if you're offering.

Yeah, this piece of shit game is gonna make me smash a controller soon. I'm done for the night.
The second level is the most eye pleasing environment I've seen in a console game. The aesthetics are amazing. I love how the environments in this game vary so much in each mission.
And people are seriously complaining about the graphics.

Also, just found
Wonder if there are more...

a Covenant terminal thingy.
Less than 24 hours is a pretty sad threshold for this..
(and not a reflection on the game)
Play TS Pro.

What can I say?
I'm done going up against teams of people 10 levels higher than me.
I'm tired of shooting dudes with popped shields through a red reticule an insane amount of times only for my teammates to clean-up the kill on a single-shot to the guy's ass.
It's not fun. I'll try again tomorrow.
But suffice to say, first impressions are that this game is a HUGE let-down over Bungie's efforts multiplayer-wise. Bungie seemed to have some sense of craft to the balance of their gameplay, whereas these guys have seemingly tried to throw in as much shit as possible to cover the fact that they can't recapture the magic.

Camo doesn't show up on radar anymore? That's some brilliant shit right there.

They also don't show up on PV whenever they're camping their flag with a sword...

There are many, many profoundly stupid decisions in the design of this game.
BTW: Is there a way to filter game searches so you don't join in progress, but only join games that are starting from the beginning? Or is that one of those basic, sensible design ideas they decided to forgo in their quest to cram as much CoD-inspired crap into Halo?
Now the Suppressor...I'm having a heck of a time finding a use for it. Seems like a weaker version of the Storm Rifle.
Day 1 complete. Managed to finish the campaign co-op on normal, complete Episode 1 of SpOps on legendary, and reach SR-20. In one day.
Not sure how I feel about this.
Plus it sounds AWESOME.

Really? I've heard quite a few people say they dislike the Suppressor. Outside of the campaign, the thing's worthless. However, I loved using it during the campaign. They're plentiful, ammo's never an issue, it takes care of Crawlers quickly and drains Knights' shields decently. It's not too bad.

really? I love it
best gun for protein knights by far in my opinion, strips their shield faster than anything else, then pop a headshot

The Suppressor sucks sooooo bad.
There was part near the very end of the game where all I had was a shitty Suppressor (had run out of ammo for my second weapon) and I had to fight wave after wave of those crawlers. The crawlers are east with any sort of weapon that you can fire accurately fire but with the Suppressor it just sprays everywhere! Weak as ahit.
This makes no sense to me.
And bolded part is just insulting.
Fucking Reach was magic? What a joke.

While I agree it's insulting, it's not like you haven't seen some people say the same thing about Bungie here. Do you call them out too?
Protein Knights is now my favourite name for them.

It seems camo doesn't have the radar blips if the player is standing still.
Mighty annoying after you "clear" out a dominion base and start capturing it, only to find there is an active camo camper waiting for you to be helpless.

Must be using it wrong somehow. Unless I'm point blank, even feathering the trigger slowly makes the shots go so wide it can take a full clip to take a couple Crawlers out. Knights take FOREVER with it, the AR does a much better job.

Also not bad.
I'm guessing just over half way through Campaign.
Not sure how I feel about it. Heroic is far less challenging than I was lead to believe for one thing. The non-melee Knights just feel like damage sponges, the fights with them have been very disappointing. It's odd, because the Elites seem to go down too easily. It's almost as if they wanted to make the Knights seem "tough" by changing the tiers of strength among the different races.
The crawlers are currently my favourite of the Promethean enemies.
