It certainly doesn't help that the longest cinematic in the entire game is smack dab in the middle of that mission, and it's unskippable.Rickenslacker said:

Interesting Campaign discussions going on in here. I think I need to replay the Halo 3 campaign, but except for the Scarab part of The Storm I remember feeling underwhelmed by it. I dont know why because the discussions are making it seem pretty good. I suppose now that I know a bit more and may try the alternate routes so to speak I might enjoy it more.
With Halo 3 I remember The Ark and The Covenant (are those the right mission names?) pretty much blowing me away in terms of fun. Nothing in Reach came close BUT Reach has a good campaign.

Thinking back i enjoyed alot of halo 3's campaign. Cortana is easily the worst level the rest are more than replayable.

Cortana was a aweful level. I cant believe they thought it was fun enough to ship lol. Im pretty happy that ODST and Reach avoided that one annoying Flood level which has to be in every Halo game lol.

The only thing Halo 3's campaign is missing is that story that gives it the necessary oomph to help you remember. The gameplay and encounter design are the best in the series, but a good story would've helped focus your attention.bobs99 ... said:
The two main reasons that I didn't like Halo 3's Campaign was because of Brutes as the primary enemy, and too many vehicle focused maps. I prefer the balance of Halo CE, where most of the levels are based on infantry combat, and the vehicle sections are either quick and focused or used sparingly. Only AoTCR and Halo are the levels that are primarily vehicle levels, and even those have a lot of great infantry encounters. In Halo 3, I never liked that I was fighting Brutes the whole game, and I have never loved Halo games because of the vehicles, so it just felt like too much of Halo 3 was made up of vehicle combat.
Halo 3 is my least played Halo Campaign, and I honestly can't even remember most of the second half of it, I ran through it on Legendary 4 player co op in like 4 hours. I never really returned to it because the gameplay of Halo 3 was lacking imo, and because of all the damn Brutes and vehicles. Every time I would try and give it a shot in Solo campaign, I would become bored in 30 mins or less and quit.

Brutes are definitely one of the worst things to happen to the encounters I think. They were just never nearly as fun to take down as Elites. Even aesthetically, having their armour shed isn't as satisfying as seeing an energy shield pop.Booshka said:

You know those excellent Mythic guides by Tyrant? Well the dude has his own site now with all the guides up in one place.
It gets better. You can now PAY him to play Halo with you.
$25.00 - He'll help you get ONE Daily or Weekly Challenge
$35.00 - He'll play ONE mission with you on any Halo game
$50.00 - He'll help you get ONE Campaign Achievement (not all Campaign Achievements apply either)
Bargain!
I didn't think there would be a casual alternative to paid MLG Pro lessons, but the day has finally arrived.
Dude built up a ton of respect doing those sweet guides. Used them myself for a number of Weeklies. Now he just shat it all away.

I still think Halo 3's Brutes are more fun to fight than Reach's Elites. Which is fucking sad. One of my biggest disappointments in the entire series.
Reach's Elites just feel overpowered and cheap. And their jerky, erratic animations make them feel more frustrating than intelligent or graceful.

I understand this sentiment as well, they behave strangely sometimes, and the fact that they can just rush toward you and beat you down at will is frustrating as well. They aren't stunned like they should be, and have much more melee damage than you. Overall, they are better to fight than Brutes imo, but aren't as fun as Halo CE elites, which were formidable and smart, but not overpowering and cheap with rush tactics. Elites in Halo CE were easier to stun if you had a shotgun or could melee after weakening their shields. In Reach, they don't slow down at all until their shields are dropped, and they have a lot more shield strength than they ever have.omg.kittens said:

Haha oh wow thats aweful. On the plus side next time I need to get 5 assists or whatever I can just pay him 25 quid to do it for me. Good luck getting 5 assists on Reach Tyrant, that 25 quid will work out to less than minimum wage for how long it will take you. /troll.
I really hope no one ever uses this service. I really do. 50 dollers for a achievement. Thats pretty shocking. If ANYONE goes for that they deserve a slap.
So I take it after a hour or so if he hasnt helped you unlock the challenge or whatever... you basically payed for nothing lol.
omg.kittens said:
Oh yeah those brutes sucked. I also agree with the Elites. Legendary Reach is basically either an insane amount of shots to kill or easy noob combo kills all the way. Unfortunatly thats how I completed Reach Legendary (putting like 12 DMR shots into an enemy isnt fun). It was probably easier than my first run of the game lol.

Depending on the Brute, they had shields and armor.Rickenslacker said:
But really, the Brutes in 3 and the Elites from CE and 2 are largely the same. The main difference is that Brutes have a pack mentality, and the Elites like to go it alone.

I hope we see a good story-focused level in Halo 4. We haven't seen one, well, a good one, since 343 Guilty Spark in Halo 1.

The black market price for a COD BLOPS Prestige lobby is around the same price Tyrant is asking for for a single Campaign Achievement.
He's got to be careful he doesn't price himself outside of the market. LOL

The thing is Elites are cool looking and Brutes are space apes. To hell with Brutes.Dax01 said:

I'd imagine we'd get at least two hoppers for CEA maps and gametypes, Slayer and Objective. And inside those we'll get a mix of Zero-Bloom, Reduced-Bloom, 3SK Pistol and Default (no changes to bloom or the Pistol) for Slayer, Flags, Bombs et al.
We'll know for sure nearer the time.

Add me to the consensus that Halo 3 had the best Campaign of the series. Cortana is awfulawfulAWFUL, and there aint much of a story, but the enemy encounters and general level design is just fantastic, really shows off the Halo-style of versatile combat, varied AI, and great overall pacing. Really fun, very replayable. I'd put Tsavo Highway, The Storm, The Ark, and the Covenant up with any level in the series as one of the best.
Reach didn't do that for me. A combination of the different weapons I didn't like as much, an even worse story with characters I can't even remember the name of, much like why I should care about any of them, and just a real middling feeling to the whole thing. Halo 3 builds up brilliantly with Sierra 117 and Crow's Nest, easing you into the campaign and the challenges you're gonna face, then it pretty much kicks into overdrive for the next couple levels, dialing down a bit for a a good Flood level that's short and sweet without overstaying its welcome like many Flood levels, then back to the awesome of The Ark and The Covenant. The entire Halo Reach campaign, I was waiting for it to get great. Instead, I was during boring ass spaceship missions and boring ass flying around the city stages that just draaaaaag on forever.
Outside of Cortana, I could replay Halo 3 on Heroic or Legendary with some buddies whenever. I NEVER feel the need to replay Halo Reach ever again.

I think that's probably true of everyone.Tunavi said:
But I think I get what you mean. In Halo 3, I could have fun even if I was losing, because it generally felt fair, and the core game was more fun. With Reach I want to yell "bullshit!" a dozen times in each game, be it bloom, armor lock, my Warthog getting rolled by two DMR users, a camping Banshee, a sniper round blowing up my vehicle, etc. I Halo 3, I blamed my lack of skill, and just did by best. With Reach there's that too, but there's also just a lot more frustration that I feel is out of my hands, and that leads to me blaming the game as much as myself.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
I hate close games. I suggested a feature for the TU that would make my weapons do 200% damage. Sadly it was a last minute casualty due to test finding said "feature."Tunavi said:
