Halo Wars, again

Ascendant Justice wrote:How many levels do you fight the flood for? And are there any missions where you encounter the covenant already fighting the flood?

You fight the Flood on levels 8,9,10,11,13,14 and 15

13,14 and 15 having both Flood and Covenant forces.

That's pretty cool. I like that idea.

Except the Spartan Laser wasn't even around.
And the Chaingun? Give me a frikkin' break! There's a reason it's not an infantry weapon. It was barely alright when it was an infantry turret that could be ripped off, but an actual weapon?

I mean, seriously, the Spartans would have been better off with normal infantry weapons, with upgrades to sniper rifle or anti-vehicle rifle. (Think M99 Stanchion Rifle)

And does the Prophet get seen in campaign?

I agree with you on the Spartans, though gameplay wise I have to admit that they are "fun" to use. Canonically, not as much.

I don't recall seeing the prophet in campaign, he does come in the cutscenes though. Also, the brute chieftain is not at all encountered in the campaign (brute units however are) nor the cutscenes. Now that I think about it, none of the covenant hero units appear in gameplay.

But they are a lot of other, more noticeable mistakes in the campaign.

For example, at one point you have the ability to fire 45 MAC shots on one location.

Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

*raises hand*

anyway, the level with 9 spartans, four of them have lasers!

Then you are a fool.

You might as well have dropped a NOVA on the area.

It would of done less damage.

Well isn't this ironic..

Yah, I still don't have the game
45 MAC shots in one area? I'm pretty sure that blowing harvest the fuck up isn't exactly good, even if they did lose. If they anticipated to win, who thought shooting the agricultural planet was a good idea.

Great, now my disc is playing up.

I hate my 360. It's starting to laser burn every new game I get.

I don't know how much longer it will last.

With a few adjustments you can either fix your xbox or get a prototype spartan laser :twisted:

I doubt it.

What adjustments are you suggesting?

If I knew I would already have had a laser... I seriously have no idea.. Ask Robborboy over at HWF. I think he is good at xbox stuff.

You can easily pull the laser out of its housing.

Find out what its voltage/amperage are and you can build your own circuit and hook it up to a couple AA's. Get a new housing unit with a lens, focus in at a specific distance and start lighting shit on fire.

Hooray for inneficient home made laser weaponry!

If you think of the MAC blast power as a "precision bombardment" power instead that just uses normal ordanance delivery, which I kind of do for myself, then it all makes much more sense.

Then why is it called a MAC?

It's misleading, overpowered and I doubt even the Super MAC cannons above Earth could fire 45 MAC rounds in such a short space of time.

It goes on the list.

The very big list. Atleast it's only fan-fiction.

Yea I know they call it a MAC, but I kind of renamed it myself to just plain bombardment. I think it's the thought of the power that counts...being a precision bombardment. If you just ignore the name "MAC blast" then it isn't such a big deal.

Of course it would've been nicer if they had just named it better, but we can either complain about it or get on with our lives and just kind of ignore the inconsistency. I chose to do the latter.

There are some things I am willing to accept. I'll put up with the Cyclops, I'll put up with the MAC to a degree, but the huge central mistake is not forgivable, as it screws with all the games that take place after it.

Red Team should not of found the Flood.

I have renamed it "Artillery," but since we spent 2 years telling ES how stupid it was and they ignored us, it's among their top failures.

Why? There is no bit of logic to support it's inclusion, and quite a bit against.

And now for the wisdom of Roger Waters...
"Can't you see, it all makes perfect sense,
Expressed in dollars and cents,
Pounds shillings and pence!
Can't you see? It all makes perfect... sense!"

The cyclops is actaully a good unit...when not in combat. Using it as support to repair my tanks and anti is a relief when you dont have the heal ability.

The MAC, well, if the name bothers you, just pretend it's called archer missle. Seeing as it has the same effect and all.

the flood pisses me off in canon though. I don't know if you noticed this, but......

Flood infected grunts and jackels! What the hell is up with those!? They look like crap too...

There are many other canon flaws, but this post wouldn't be big enough to hold it all...

Repairs? Forge is the money commander! If he wants repairs, he'll just use the repair power.

Really? Grunt and jackle flood? Can't say I noticed those. But if those are in then canon is just obliterated.
I also still don't see why there uberhaupt is any flood in this game at all, it has no reason to be on that shield world.

I did like the stalker and swarm flood though, asuming they are pure forms.
