Uh, you dont get the Rocket Launcher in the Library>_>

I usually used shotgun as much as possible, and picked up a needler as secondary whenever possible.

[Grizzly]

HomeWorld, never knew why it was that much better then O.R.B (probably because ORB was released later and didn't get the attention it deserved... and the game CAN NOT be considered a clone of homeworld, since it was more then 2 years in development)

Yea, you do... whenever you take it off of a dead Flood Warrior form.

Which isn't hard to do with the shotgun/pistol. They can't aim the rockets anyway. Heck, Flood can't really aim much at all (Legendary excepted )

[jr2]

They're not that bad of an aim on Heroic (which is what I beat the game on; I only did the last level on Legendary).

Oh, you haven't lived until you've played the Library on Legendary.

"Why the $#@! did I pick Legendary?!  Why the $#@! aren't these Sentinels more helpful?  I wish I could $#@!ing kill the stupid blue orb floating around above my head and making snarky comments!  Who the $#@! is responsible for this level, and where do they live?!  $#@! it, maybe I should just use this rocket launcher on myself!  Next time I want a $#@!ing book, I'll buy it - I'll be $#@!ed if I'll ever visit a Library again!"

I cannot put into words how much I hated that level.  And the worst part was, it never ended.  You'd get on the elevator and think "that's it!  I made it" and then it stops 10 feet up and you want to cry.

Really, it made you long for the levels where all you had to deal with were Hunters.  At least they don't appear by the thousands.

[jr2]

Yeah, it was no picnic on Heroic, either.  The good thing about Legendary is that you can actually jump over a Hunter's head, and move faster (but so can the enemy XD ).

[Roanoke]

The libary is the same as any other level. Take your time, remember where the big ambushes are and prepare yourself by running back to some cover so you can fight them one or two at a time.

That's how you have to beat every level... Well, except for Assault on the Control Room () and the beginning of The Silent Cartographer ()

Why would you want to jump over a hunter's head? Just strafe around him until he charges, turn around, and BLAM, one pistol shot to the back (or the front, tricky shot though) and that hunter's toast.

That's when it's time for 'nades, rockets, assault rifles, and shotguns . .. .

I found The T. & R. harder than The Library.

[Mathwiz6]

T&R on legendary HURTS. Especially once you get on the ship itself. Is it even possible to save anyone during the first part on the ship?

The library's pretty nasty, but at least you're never really pinned down (too badly). Most aggrivating thing is just how many there are. Even on legendary, flood don't aim too well actually. If you don't strafe though, assualt rifle, humiliatingly, is the most likely thing to screw you over, IMO.

Yeah, T&R, not T&A hurts like a bastard skateboard on the back of the leg

[DaBrain]

If you ask me:

HL2, Battlefield 2, FEAR... and a lot of other games that are popular atm.

Overrated doesn't mean bad, but those games really aren't special in any way and way too simple to stand out. (simple, not easy...)

I'm waiting more more elaborate games like Bioshock. At least they try to move forward, while most other games just copy already kown stuff.


I completely disagree on FF7 and Chrono Trigger. Those games are special. You can tell the extreme ammount of work behind them.

Crysis and UT3 also need a lot of work... but mostly for the gfx content and the gfx code...

Supplement to Spartan's List:

BF2142. Yea, it was a good game, but it wasn't everything that was advertised...

Wait till he starts to charge you, jump over his head, spin around, and shoot him in the back. 

[Deepblue]

I remember playing Halo 2 for the first time, trying that trick, and then getting splattered by the Hunter's arm coming down on my face. Tricky programmers!
