Maybe in like a week or so, I got someone that's gonna help me out on buying a new bulb for my TV.

And then I'll buy Reach and ditch you.

Lol, it turns out I had the iron skull on. :D

I got Reach today, and it's fun so far. I am a bit disappointed that the retarded squad AI from part 3 wasn't fixed. Nothing is more frustrating that having a marine man the chain gun on a warthog and just not fire at anything. If I try to take over, he drives us right into a flood of enemies. It's fucking stupid.

I'm finding the game much more forgiving on Legendary than part 3. I'm already in stage 4, and I just started. In contrast, it took me all afternoon Saturday to beat 1 level in Halo 3.

I even admitted I was terrible. Hell I was terrible at first in COD: WaW and MW2. Until I know the maps I'll suck at it. I'm also only on stage 3 in single player.

I always found Halo 3 and Halo: ODST's Legendary to be easier than the other games in the series, including Halo: Reach, due to the fact that there were Elites in the other games. Brutes have shields but their shields don't recharge, and they're not as effective with evading fire.

Anybody down for some games?

I went to enable grunt headshot pyrotechnics and figured that was your issue when I saw that skull.

Equally annoying: when they are shooting, they feel the need to fire in short bursts as though the mounted unlimited ammo weapon needs to be conserved and has kickback. Just kill the fucking thing, assholes.

Halo 3 only had a couple parts that really slowed me down, like the huge amount of snipers with one-hit kills early on in the jungle and the fight against two scarabs. I don't recall the other games being tougher, but it is a lot nicer to be fighting elites again. Brutes are just a boring design.

I usually just melee the marine from the get-go. If I need to shoot something, I'll stop and jump on the gun.

The fight against the two scarabs is easy. Use the hornet and bomb the enemies off of the scarab's surface, land on it, destroy its core, get back in the hornet and fly off before the scarab explodes. Repeat with the other scarab.

I don't think you can kill your invincible spartan teammates.

That was the basis of my strategy, but the hornet always got destroyed after I landed and before I got back (usually fell off and got wrecked). I ended up just using the tank to kill everything and soften the scarabs, and then flew over. Easy and safe.

Just wanted to say one of yesterdays campaign challenges (Kill 10 enemies while jetpacking on Exodus) was not only quick, but fun!

MORE LIKE THAT PLEASE! 600CR MY DICK MY DICK

David, you mentioned a lot of 1k cR challenges today, what were they?
