What? How can you say getting one-shot-killed by snipers ain't fun? It's what made the game. I loved the feeling that you couldn't go out into the open without instantly dying. It was a flawless design choice.

Wow. I think that that's the first time I've ever seen Poe's law applied to a video game.

Then again, you're kind of in a religion if you like Halo. :razz:

Level design... hm.. that's something that disappeared a few years ago me thinks. Not to say that most modern games don't look good, because they look f#####g awesome... Just a sheer majority of them seem to lack something in the way they are presented.

Funnily enough, I had absolutely no trouble with that. :P

Try Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. There, snipers are useless and its all about flamethrowers and air strikes.

Mortars and snipers can be very effective, if used properly.

Though, since snipers can't normally get a one-shot, they're not used very often.

Snipers can't usually get proper range and field of view. And when you do, some soldier blows you to bits from a mile away with his super-accurate assault rifle. Waitwut?

Speaking of snipers, I am having flashbacks of MD Stormtroopers. :P

Anyone here play Enemy Territory: Quake Wars?
And should this be here or in Playsector, as it is about Gaems but it is a rant. Herm.

Anyway, I finished Halo3 on legendary just now. It was okay, better than #2, but I still prefer the original. Other than one or two spots were I died quite often, such as the motor-pool in crow's nest, it was fairly easy.

Granted, Scarabs were pretty sweet and finally I could shoot down Covenent Dropships!

I just finished ODST and y'know what I actually quite liked it. Even the night time sneaky sections which were really just an elaberate mission select sequence.

Only bit that really bothered me was it didn't really matter if the ODSTs saved New Mombassa or not as the important stuf was bing done by the Master Chief elsewhere. That and they were too similar to the MC ie; beingf able to remove turreted guns.
