[360] Halo Kitty

I need to work through it on Legendary too. Need to find me some Brits/Europeans to play co-op with, so if anyone's up for that drop me a line.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Prime, if I'm online when you are, drop me a line. Tag's Asmus. Could be cool

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The post-credits scene is only viewable when you beat it on Legendary.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I finished it on Heroic and saw a post-credits cutscene. If there's an extra one of Legendary, that's a different matter.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I tried adding you to my friends list but apparently I can't as your friend list is full. If it's possible I'm definitely up for it (I'm around most evenings English time).

Tails: stfu.

But as Q said, you get the post-credits bit on Heroic too. No idea about easy or normal, but I'd assume you get it at all levels, you just have to wait out the credits.

How ya doing, buddy?

I've heard that the scene at the end is different in length for every difficulty, so legendary would get the full scene, and heroic's is shorter

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The legendary post-credits scene is like 8 seconds longer. I haven't beaten the game on normal (lol, who plays normal) but heroic doesn't have the extra bit at the end of the post-credits scene.

How ya doing, buddy?

Right, my bad. I've only beaten it on Legendary and was going by what I've heard. Those last 8 seconds or so are epic as fuck though. It's pretty much like OH SHI-! and then it ends.

Who even beats it on a difficulty lower than Legendary though, lets be honest here.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, and how many people did you have helping you play it on Legendary. Three, that's right.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I probably couldn't even beat it on Heroic by myself I'm so terrible at it. That said, I wouldn't mind getting some partners for running the Cortana map and beyond in Legendary at some point.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Gimme a holler if you're in #xblive tonight and I'll help.

Cortana map drove me insane when I was playing on my own, I freaking hated those spider things that run along wars and shoot shit at you.

To be honest, despite the massive increase in battles and enemy numbers, I felt the game was a tad easier than 1, since you often had an invinsible AI partner with you, so if you wanted to weasel it, you could just hang back and let him hack and slash everyone.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The Arbiter wasn't invinsible. He ran in and got himself killed a whole bunch of times when I was playing through levels. However, after a while he regenerates and gets back up. But yes, it's definitely easier having the help in a number of situations.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The Arbiter retains his temporary active camo when he is AI controlled, players can't use it though.

I've only seen him use it a few times, to be honest. He is invincible in the sense that he can't permanently die like the marines.

I like how I got stepped on by the Scarab when I was moving to meet up with the tanks in The Ark. Funniest shit ever. I had no idea what hit me until I saw the rest of it walk past. Maybe I'll make a video clip of it. Next time I'm playing through with someone I won't rush through the door so quick.

Most amazing jew boots

Shame you can't do that in campaign replays. It's all or nothing when it comes to that.

Progressive screenshots of the incident are probably the order of the day, here.

FELIPE NO

I can't remember how many times I was climbing the first scarab to reach the weak spot for massive damage and I get shot by the second scarab's death beam outta nowhere.

I also had my warthog stepped on once during the level, really took my by surprise but I couldn't contain my lolling.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's why you should fall out of the sky onto the scarabs on that map. What you do is ride the mongoose and park it next to the hornets when they show up, then ride along as a passenger on a hornet and the pilot will fly right over the top of the right side scarab, at which point you jump off onto it and take it out. Then you immediately run back up to your mongoose and use the big hill that is next to the second scarab to ramp the mongoose over it, at which point you jump off onto it. The scarabs basically don't even know what hit them it happens so quick.

I think I might do that again tonight so I can get some sweet screenshots of it.

Yeah, I played the level driving a warthog, and while I saw a few other AI controlled vehicles driving around, I didn't really think I could have driven those for that section. I need to check on a later replay if I can try a different vehicle. That's one of the great things about the game (and 1, I guess), how you don't always realize you have so many ways of tackling even the more set up and scripted battles.

I personally can't wait to see the speedruns for 3, shoving vehicles through gaps to go beyond points you were supposed to take by foot, etc.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hahaha, check out the forum banner. Bigblah forgot to put it up on the 25th, but it's there now. Galen made it! =D

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Easiest way to beat a Scarab towards the end there is to get in a hornet. Paralyze the legs, and then shoot the big glowing target on the back end. This blows the whole back of the Scarab off, and you now have a clear sight of the target. After I figured this out it was a breeze.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hah, you can blow that off? I had no idea.

It's far, far, FAR more fun to do it the hard way though. My favorite is landing the Hornet on the thing, blowing it up, getting back in the Hornet and flying away as the damn thing blows up. It damages the shit out of you if you're not fast enough, but it's super fucking epic and makes for some great screenshots.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Most definately. I just wanted people to know the easier way to do it because it would be nearly impossible to do it any other way on Legendary I would think.

But yeah, I only found that out because I like seeing what all can blow apart in a game when I go through it a second time. So I kind of just stumbled upon this.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So I finished the game on normal (woah) and I think the only way I ever died was by falling off the driving stage at the end.

Gotta say having not played the first two games, the story was really not all that interesting for me. But that's okay, I didn't buy the game for the single player game anyway.

I'm up for some online play even though I'm pretty terrible. If you want to add me, my gamer tag is Guru Rider.

Also if I'm online, feel free to invite me to games or something... I'm not exactly all that familiar with arranging games and stuff since I just bought my 360.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'll add you to my list next time I'm on then, because I'm not all that great myself. I played all 3 campaigns, and a bit of 2 online but nothing too intense. So as long as you don't mind I'll add ya and maybe we can get some evenly matched games between us ^^

I found it easier with a Scorpion than a Hornet.
