Halo E3 Movie

   KNOW YOUR FOES.

You will encounter many different aliens, each one with a different rank and trait. Here's a quick rundown...

• Grunts: the standard Covenant soldier. Relatively harmless unless in groups. Can carry plasma pistols, plasma grenades, needlers, and sometimes a massive fuel rod cannon.
• Jackals: the scouts of the Covenant. Carry a large energy shield that cannot be penetrated by projectile weapons, however, energy and explosive weapons can. Jackals always carry plasma pistols only.
• Elites: The Covenant shock troops. Elites are very smart and fast. They have a light shield that can be pierced by projectiles. Aside from plasma pistols, elites carry whatever is handy.
• Hunters: The Covenant artillery. Hunters are massive creatures who sport a huge fuel rod cannon and an impenetrable metal shield. The only way to kill a hunter is explosives, head shots or shots in the neck or back.

   HALO WEAPONS.

In Halo you can only carry two weapons. Many say this detracts from the game, but in fact, it actually adds to the realism. Eight additional grenades may be carried. The realism of Halo is great, but it lacks the environmental damage effect, which was first explored in earlier shooter games. In Halo you will learn that each of these weapons has its advantages. Each one has its ups and downs. Remember, each weapon has a melee attack for pointblank combat. The power of the melee attack differs from gun to gun.

• M6D Pistol: The pistol is powerful against smaller enemies. Its scope can be useful in knocking out foes from a distance. One shot in the back can kill a hunter.
• MA5B Assault Rifle: The assault rifle is a rapid fire weapon with a large clip. It is effective against anything without a shield. Short bursts are more accurate.
• S2 Sniper Rifle: Shot placement is the key. A head shot will take out almost anything. Utilize the night vision scope.
• M90 Combat Shotgun: I’ll put it this way, at short range, you’ll be unstoppable. The shotgun packs a wallop of damage. Anything within its cone of fire is likely to be on the ground after a shot or two. Don’t be an exuberant user of the shotgun. Ammo is sparse. Do not use this at long range!
• M19 Rocket Launcher: Of course, where would we be with out the good old room clearer. Try not to use this too often. Rocket ammo is precious. It’s an efficient weapon, but what a mess. Also, stay back when you fire it, you’ll see what I mean.
• M9 Frag Grenade: You can carry four of these at a time. They are quite destructive, but your enemies can duck for cover.
• M41 Minigun: You can’t carry it, but you can fire it from the back of a jeep. This weapon is very strong. It can literally mow over entire platoons of aliens. This is a very effective weapon against Banshees.
• Plasma Pistol: This gun has the ability to fire semi automatic bursts, or a power shot. Power shots are powerful, but they deplete your battery quickly and they may overheat your weapon.
• Plasma Rifle: This rapid fire weapon is very accurate and can reduce aliens to ashes. However, automatic fire depletes your battery and overheats the weapon. Power is limited, so replace it often.
• Needler: This odd looking weapon fires crystal shards that penetrate their target and detonate. It is quite strong, but it is only really effective on rare occasions.
• Plasma Grenade: Think of it as a sticky grenade. When it hits a target, it sticks to it. This explosive has a three second timer.

   HALO VEHICLES.

Halo is vast. You’ll need to use vehicles sooner or later.

• Warthog Jeep: This fast truck has a powerful anti aircraft gun on the back, but you’ll need a gunner to fire it. A marine can ride in the side seat and fire his weapon while you drive. While the Warthog is fast and maneuverable, it is prone to rollovers.
• Scorpion Battle Tank: This is a beast of the battlefield. It can seat four marines on the sides, so they can fire while you move. The Scorpion sports a heavy machine gun and a massive cannon. This tank is a large target for your foes, so be wary.
• Ghost Recon Speeder: The Ghost is a recon land speeder that relies on dual plasma cannons for defense. It has a high drift factor, so the steering is a little stiff. Apart from that, the Ghost is an effective hit and run vehicle.
• Shade Gun Turret: Ok, so it's not a vehicle, but it is an effective anti-infantry emplacement. The downside is that the slightest explosion can tip it over.
• Banshee Starfighter: The favorite of many. These aircraft wreak absolute havoc over the battle zone. With two plasma cannons and a fuel rod cannon, the Banshee can destroy a squad of soldiers in seconds. Its weakness is that it is hard to avoid enemy fire.

   HALO GAMEPLAY.

One thing that many people will love is that there aren’t any bosses in Halo. It just gets harder as you proceed. There are only ten levels in Halo, but they are extremely expansive. Within each level, there are five smaller ones. Each main level can take up to about two and a half hours. One thing that makes Halo really stand out is the ability to hijack vehicles, human or Covenant. A few missions require that you drive a jeep or a tank. You will realize that vehicle areas are some of the best parts. The AI is superb. Each enemy will respond in a different way to a situation. They will provide cover for each other while they advance on your position. When near death, your enemies may throw a grenade or go aggro and rush you, swiping their weapons at you. The intelligence of your fellow soldiers is also marvelous. They provide cover for each other and work as a team. When there are many aliens nearby, one of your teammates will throw a grenade. While in combat, your fellow marines will shout out random curses and phrases such as, "Crap I’m hit" or "Who’s your daddy?" When you hop into a jeep, one will come and ride shotgun and another will man the turret.

   HALO DIFFICULTY.

The learning curve for Halo is relatively short as long as your hands are large enough to hold the massive XBox controller. However, every button and trigger has a purpose on the controller, so it may take some time before memorizing the controls. Halo’s difficulty ranges from easy to legendary. Easy is for grandmas and three-year olds. Normal is the standard setting. Heroic is for those who know the game inside and out. Legendary is just plain suicide.

   CONCLUSION.

Halo has been rated M by ESRB for violence, blood and a little profanity. Most don’t believe cinematics are very important, but in Halo, you need to watch them. If you don’t, how will you understand what’s happening around you? Halo has a sophisticated plot, so watch the damn cinematics! Halo’s soundtrack is incredibly advanced. The music changes according to your situation. When you’re in considerable peril, the tempo gets fast and intense. When you’re in a dark area with no one around, it plays like something you’d hear in Silent Hill. All in all, Halo is a great game and it shouldn’t be missed by anyone. If you have or want an XBox, Halo is a must.
