Let's be honest: looking for a deep story in a shooter game is a loosing battle.

That said, I feel like the Halo games at least try to have a single player story and a decent Campaign. Reach even has a few things in the Campaign that aren't in multiplayer. Beyound that, Halo has some good stories for shooter games.

The rundown:
- Characters are characatures (spelling?). They don't get much screen time, so they make up for it by being easily identifyable.
- Anyone who's played the other Halo games knows what will happen, but that can make the story more powerful if you care about what's going on. Rather simple story, but well done and well connected to the trilogy. (Reminds me of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, where it leads directly into the original game.)
- Campaign gets a few special sequences. For example: a space battle and low-gravity/low-volume foot battles. It takes work to add features, so Bungie took some time giving the Campaign a few memorable scenes.

Besides that, there's the multiplayer. But we all know that. Image IPB

Even better: armor powers. If you played Halo 3, you don't have to worry about the horrible "equipment" coming back. Now both singleplayer and multiplayer can have a whole new layer of strategy. Or you can just fly around in a jetpack.

That would be a good idea. If you don't like it, you don't have to keep it or shell out 60+ USD.

I'm not even sure how the last guy dies to be honest. I was too busy making sad faces :(
I can't remember what happened ...

**On a side note, I think this is the first Halo game I've actually really enjoyed too. Even though I knew what was going to happen *my brothers read the books, so they told me everything ...*

Still haven't hijacked a banshee though :(


allmost the same situation here, i allmost would say i hated the Halo 3 story. I had to do it with another friend or i would die over, and over and over, and i ahvent hijacked and banshee either Image IPB

I dont mind a game with little story if there is atleast great characters, I love Half life 2 for one, the story was cliché, but the charascter were amazing. So if the characters themselves are atleast interesting and believable, then I'm all for it.

I'm not sure what kind of characters you'd be interested in, but I have one or two favorites in Reach. Of course, I've just been waiting for so long to have a non-John 117 Spartan.

I always forget about skulls.
Except the grunt birthday surprise thing. One of the greatest things about Halo, I say.

I can't think of any specific difficulty that makes the elite squish easier. I tried on both Heroic and Legendary, don't remember when I got it. It was mostly by accident in the end.

As for assassinations, I don't think it matters what you have as long as you attack from behind. (I *do* know that you MUST deactivate sprint to assassinate. I hit the ground hard when I forgot.)

Oh, I remember the first time it tells you to assassinate. I didn't know what it meant so I just ran up behind the guy and shot him in the back of the head.



I uh ... restarted that mission (dropped him but ... I wanted to do it right).

It has to be done at the start of Pillar of Autumn. Remember at the very start your looking over a cliff theres an Elite and some Grunts below you? Use the rocks to line it up and use your sprint ability to run and jump off the cliff then assassinate the Elite as your landing to save yourself. Its a hell of alot harder than it sounds it took me ages to get and I know people who still havent managed to do it.

Also I have both Legendary acheivements so it is definately possible, hard and a bit frustrating but possible.

Oh... the only mission that is confirmed for the "if they come to hear me beg" achievement is the final mission's opening. You really do die if you miss.

As for ninja vs. assassination, I have no idea where exactly you have to be. I just know that you have to be behind the enemy. And it's harder for the elite achievement because you have to do it half-blind. How do I know this? Both ninjas and assasinations can save you from death (like the achievement wants), but only the assassination gives the reward. Image IPB

By "recon controller" are you talking about sprint? I'm a little lost there.

As for button, it's just the melee button. You have to be in free-fall and hit that button at just the right time.

I think you actually have to hold the button to perform the assassination otherwise you just elbow the Elite in the back of the head.

Tip of the Spear. Just before you have to go up the big tower thingy there will be a few banshees flying around which will come at you and fly suspiciously low. They are just asking to be jacked, you can use a charged plasma pistol shot to make it easier or just jetpack up and jack it that way. The only problem is that Jorge chooses this part of the game to actually be useful and has a tendency to blow them up so be quick!

Ah, okay, thanks. I forgot about the jet pack:whistle:
I didn't really concentrate on it until the package bunker area ... I think I grabbed a ghost and got distracted. I can't remember (I remember moving fast though lol)

I did it at the end of "Tip of the Spear" and the end of "The Package."

Tip of the Spear
---------------------
When you have to climb the tower after crash-landing with Jorge, there should be a jetpack nearby. Grab that and kill as many ground enemies as you can. Two banshees should be flying around. Using a weak weapon, try to get their attention without causing Jorge to kill them. One will eventually come down low enough for jetpackers to highjack, but you have to be quick!

The Package
------------------

During the final fight outside of the lab/artifact, there will sometimes be a banshee or two flying around. Grab a jetpack and fly to the top of the building next to the lab (to the left when your back is to the lab/spartan laser.) Avoid getting killed and wait for a banshee to pass by, but you again need to be quick! There is sometimes two banshees, and the other will try to stop your highjack. The banshees will also dodge you if you get too close without highjacking. (Make sure you hold the highjack button!)
