How did Halo become successful? On heroic you can't take any dmg whatsoever and enemies take tons of shots to kill...

My friend made his parents sell his Ps2 to get an xbox for shoot games, but mostly because it had a shit version of counter-strike at the time

Apparently Halo 2 is the hardest Halo but still. Halo felt like a step back compared to even older console shooters in my opinion

I came to really appreciate halo when I got older. The sandbox, the scope, the ferocious enemies.
The ride of shooting gallery were everything dies in on hit cant hold a candale to it.
>inb4 bullet sponge shields of ellites
Literally 2-3 shots of dmr and one headshot. Or 1 shotgun shell. Or 1 plasma bolt etc.

But 343 knights with dem force field ressurection drones... Now that Is shitty annoying design.

Because console players were starved for competently made FPS's, so when Halo (an utterly mediocre FPS by PC standards) came out, it blew the console players minds.

This.

I fucking hate games with bullet sponges, it's not good and it's not fun, fuck that.

Well of course if your only point of comparison is the modern CoD-games then Halo will look like a masterpiece. My point of comparison is Blood, Shadow warrior, Duke3d, Quake1&2, FEAR, etv etv. Actually good FPS's.

Use grenades, plasma pistols and the magnum.
Usually just burst the shield and then melee the back of elites, grunts are weak as shit

Charged plasma pistol shot followed by one bullet to the head takes down an elite in legendary. I prefer to play all halo campaigns on legendary aside from h2. Do not waste time on guns like assault rifle it's trash other than to deal with grunts sometimes. The pistol is one of the best weapons in the game and is your rifle now.

That's the thing though your enemies are mostly enemies so you have to pick up alien guns because ammo isn't universal

It's the only FPS with good enemies in history. In DOOM for instance you can use any gun you want against literally anything. In Halo you're essentially always planning on a dime

>planning
BR + Plasma Pistol for 100% of the encounters isn't planning.

i've completed all the main line bungie games on legendary from 1-3 ODST. need to finish reach but it's really not that hard. you'll die a fuckload but once you get the hang of it it's easy. just take your time no need to go gung ho.

Halo Is almost in It's own subgenre of fps. You mentioned old school gotta go fast through the level shooters, and halo Is more of a true shooter warzone sandbox. I love me some old shooters of pc, and that Is exactly why I didnt think much of halo back in the day. It was too slow for my young brain, but now I get what they were trying to accomplish.

Recently played reach for the first time since release. Aside from couple controvertial things like abilities, everything holds up glorious. The gunplay, music, scenarios, enemy AI, even the sandbox Is still there.
It baffels me how 343 shit the bed.

>Speedrunning h2 missions on Legendary for the under 3 hours achievement
>Breeze through most of gravemind, reach the final room with under 20 minutes on the clock
>Mfw I kill all the hunters, brutes and elites inside with no problem but get my shit pushed in for over half an hour by the 4-man Elite strike force at the end

Plasma pistol is absolutely useless against everything that isn't an elite. Using it on brute or flood maps is just hindering yourself for no reason.

>Plasma pistol is absolutely useless against everything that isn't an elite.
Everything else dies to a single headshot. Or in the brutes' case, a couple of headshots.
Flood maps are almost always just fighting Flood, so in those few instances you'd replace the plasma pistol for a shotgun.

Playing on Heroic also gives you a lot more freedom when it comes to how you handle encounters. The only difficulty where you really need the noob combo is Legendary. I mean using the brute shot or dual needlers or whatever doesn't really require any kind of planning either. But I wouldn't say playing it on Heroic requires the noob combo to survive.

>Halo isn't fun because its hard and not like my other shooters
disgusting

>The HP/shield regen is what really killed FPS games

Call of duty started it

>games evolve
>in the case of HP, people get tired of looking for pickups
>FPS ARE DEAD1111
its been almost 20 years, give it a break retard

Call of Duty released after Halo, and didn't have health regen at first.
Tribes started it.

It’s all about pacing, zoomer.

The first herald of fps degradation was Half-Life that made ”muh cinematic feel” acceptable excuse to ignore gameplay and level design. Cawadoodie solidified point n click instant gratification garbage design and is considered to be the tipping low point.

Stupid console peasants threw their money at the only barely competent FPS.

Then the game went to PCs and all the idiots who had those were convinced by their stupid console peasant friends that the game was good and to buy it.

The power of marketing to stupid people.

>complaining about heroic
Actually get good

No, it didn’t. Go play ps1 shooters before you complain, zoomer.

I beat all three halos on legendary by myself
get good faggot

bro what
Heroic was the difficulty me and my friends started with after not playing the game for 10+ years
are you getting distracted while playing or something?

It killed your boomer shit but it made halo great. When you encounter anyone in halo it feels like a mini boss, you cant run away like a bitch because they have an incentive to hunt you down, if you wait too long it resets, every new encounter is a fair test of skill.

Because it's the multiplayer that made the game popular.

A thousand dicks cummed with the power of a thousand voices

Every enemy in Halo dies in 2 hits.

>muh bullet sponges
lol holy shit you fucking zoomer trannies should all kill yourselves

>DUDE JUST USE THE NOOB COMBO LOL

Wow what a fun and dynamic game

You're given plenty of plasma pistols. Anything else is just a handicap.

Im not talking about the shitty 5 hour campaign, Im talking about multiplayer which is where the actual game is.

any answer other than babbys first console fps is wrong
