95% of the weapons are useless on legendary

This game is fun :)

Why do they release these games at snail fucking pace on PC.

Holy shit this artificial gatekeeping is fucking retarded.
>will have to wait for ODST before being able to play H3 because "MUH CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER"

All of them are good in CE. I mean there's only like 8 they really should be.
Just because there's rarely a reason to use anything other than pistol/plasma pistol/shotgun doesn't mean the rest are worthless. You can kill an Elite on Legendary with nothing but a plasma pistol.

CE is fine, the rest of the series had a bad problem of making a lot of the weapons filler you never really used because there was always something better around.

>95% of the weapons are useless on legendary

Only Reach has this problem

the weapons are strong as fuck in this game, how bad are you?

Because none of them are fucking ready. Reach and Halo 1 are out but in unfinished beta states.

you use AR on grunts

yeah I know, even the AR is useful, just not as good as the rest.

>the weapons are strong as fuck in this game, how bad are you?
It has nothing to do with skill

I'll list the weapons I think are useful or have at least some sort of useful niche
>Pistol
>Plasma Pistol
>Plasma Rifle
>Sniper
>Shotgun
>Rocket Launcher

Sucky weapons
>Assault Rifle
Then there's the needler that I havent really had much success with but could be good, what the fuck else is there

Did they remove the god awful auto aim from mcc yet?

Even on LASO the AR is pretty much worthless. It's just that bad. Every other gun is completely usable 100%

Actual truth. Over half the guns are just worse than a dmr even in their ideal cases.

>95% of the weapons are useless

lets go down the list

assault rifle is your bullet hose weapon. it's mainly there to take out grunts and flood infection forms

plasma pistol and plasma rifle melt shields, use them against elites

needler is good against elites and hunters with broken armor. use that there

magnum is a grunt killer. get head shots, combine with plasma weapons to easily dispatch elites, also useful against some flood

the shotgun kills flood it's your best friend in The Library

The sniper rifle does what the magnum does but better and from further away.

the rocket launcher is mainly there to kill wraiths, ghosts, and hunters its good against everything but you're only given a small amount of rockets

there I hope that cleared that up for you OP,

if you're still having trouble on legendary then maybe you just need to Git gud you worthless fucking zoomer [/spoiler}

it has to do with skill if you are of such low skill that even the games strong as fuck weapons cant save you

everything is useful on legendary. Plasma pistol + pistol headshot combo for elites
shotgun for flood
rockets for large groups of enemies
sniper for elites, grunts and jackals as well as 1 shot on hunters back

the game is ez as fuck on legendary too, if you haven't completed CE SLASO and speedrun in under 3 hours you need to git fucking gud you scrubs.

This. Heroic on first play through then legendary to challenge yourself.

LASO wasnt that bad honestly (except for two betrayals), but yeah the AR is always the first to go if you find literally anything else.

The fuck? All the guns are useful. You're just a shitter who only uses the pistol.

the shotgun fucking kills everything, even wraiths

Thats why Halo 2 Legendary was better, it was less about energy pistol cheese and all about making those consecutive headshots

With the exception of the Needler every single weapon in the game including the AR is good on Legendary you complete brainlet retard
The AR staggers unshielded enemies very well (which is why you see speedrunners switch to it and spray if they want to get past an area many times) and clears infection forms
Halo 1 pistol
The shotgun is completely insane and the best weapon in the entire campaign even above the meme pistol
The rocket is the rocket and nothing competes with its niche
The sniper is the sniper and nothing competes with its niche
The plasma rifle, with plasma freeze, relatively high damage, and expanded headshot multiplier, is the best in the series
The plasma pistol is self explanatory if you noob combo but even tap firing will stop an enemy dead in its tracks and melt shields without burning through all your ammo
CE is the only legendary difficulty in the series where you can use a plasma pistol as your primary because the game rewards aggression (unintentional as it may have been if you look at the early vidocs)
Wait till Halo 2 releases and you're a scampering mouse hiding from the slightest touch of a weapon and you'll see what you're missing

Legendary is not even the difficulty bungie thinks it’s meant to be played at. Heroic is. Legendary is too difficult to play normally.

Deal with zoomer faggot. Not like your adhd brain could navigate through the less linear missions anyway.

>boomers
How did it went from shit for little kids to being for boomers?

Even the Needler is good when it comes to tightly packed enemies/enemies in cramped hallways. You can blow Elites apart on Legendary with that pink bastard,

I struggle to imagine what your gameplay looks like if you think Halo CE is the one that necessitates noob combo but not Halo 2
The only things that required those consecutive headshots were Brutes which were piss easy when you had a carbine/needler and complete nonsense damage sponges when you had any other non-power weapon

based

literally only the AR is useless on legendary, and even that can be pretty useful against the flood. Still, the AR is just so god damn cool and fun to use that I still use it.

>boomers
Halo is a zoomer game
>Inb4 2001
If you were born after 1989 you are a zoomer

They are, you fucking scrub.

>95% of the weapons are useless
doesn't matter what difficulty you play this overhyped garbage on

It's almost 20 years old, it can't be zoomer forever.

Becuase playing on legendary is only for autists. True chads play on NORMAL where you can have more options than charged plasma pistol shots.

>posting your own birthyear
alternatively
>larping as a boomer
kill yourself

based AR bro
I still use that thing in Reach on Legendary despite the fact that Reach's version is dogshit incarnate

What are the hardest levels on legendary in the series? barring Halo 2 which is obviously the hardest

For me it's, Truth and Rec.

That’s not how the generations are divided, retard. Up until 95’ is a millenial.

not how that works

but good attempt

>barring Halo 2
fuck you, I'm saying Cairo Station anyway

>Pistol - good
>Plasma Pistol - good
>Plasma Rifle - good
>Rocket Launcher - good
>Sniper Rifle - good
>Shotgun - you bet your ass its good

That's more than 95% of the weapons and unlike most of you fuckers I've actually beaten Legendary CE within the last week so I'm very familiar with the game right now.

It takes like 3 super combines to kill an elite though and CE elites are by far the most agile main enemies in the series
You're not screwed if you're stuck with it but it definitely sticks out as the one "bad" weapon in the sandbox

Truth and Reconciliation isn't even the hardest in Halo:CE, the only hard part is immediately after you get beamed up to the ship. Two Betrayals or the Library are both more challenging

You had to be there.

>zoomers don't know good games
What a TWIST

Its Truth and Rec for me too. All those jackals, a lack of power weapons, dogshit marines and a very long narrow level design without much room for maneuvering.

The bridge parts in Assault on the Control Room can be pretty bad too but at least those are short.

Beyond that I would say Cortana in 3 is my least favorite Legendary level.

Still has the best AI

I hope this is bait, because if not, you're a retarded out-of-touch autist with no concept of what's actually difficult.

Huh I remembered it being stronger than that. I still feel like there are situations where it's viable enough.
Also it is just fun too.

two betrayals oh my god, more like two years

Cortana is a bad level on any difficulty mostly because
>no boss fight
>backtracking
>fucking telepathic interruptions every 30 sec
It could have been complete kino.

I don't even think I have the balls to try for a Halo 2 Legendary run again. I have no fucking idea how I did it back when I was in middle school, I think I was just granted mercy by the sniper jackals.

2> CE > 3 > ODST > Reach > 4 > 5

While ODST is definitely the easiest legendary in the series the part with the Oliphant made me want to kill myself

You wanted more Halo boss fights? None of them have ever been very good.

We were really in the thick of that "character walks slowly through a linear segment while npcs talk to him" fad with that shitshow

Tartarus was kinda fun. I liked the setup more than the execution, I think.

As someone who used to be top 10 in CE, all you need is the regular pistol.

CE > 2 > ODST > 3 > Reach >>> 4 >>> 5

IIRC the reason Halo 2 Legendary was so terrible was because they had no time to make it correctly balanced and rushed it out. The re-release might see an adjustment

The Prophet fight in 2 was good

2 had a better online than CE but CE had a better story. 2's online was pretty much peak Xbox Live back in 2005

top 10 in what? Gay prostitution?

It looked kinda goofy riding around on his chair punching his face.

CE has the best story in the series, I don't think anyone would debate that. Its nice, simple and effective.

>CE had a better story
CEs entire story was just AN ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS, 2 giving the covenant some actual backstory instead of just being the bad alien dudes that shoot you was great

3 comes out before ODST

I don't know if it strictly counts as story but the godly dialogue in 2 has always made it my favorite Halo story. Right after that is CE though. Both have all the best lines.

Halo's named boss fights are terrible but contextual boss "encounters" have always been fantastic
>the end of TB with the massive Covie vs. Flood war
>the warthog runs
>every scarab in Halo 3
Considering CE didn't have online, I agree
But I get what you're saying, while 2v2 CE is great anything above that turns into insanity

Friendly reminder that everyone hated Arbiter and his levels when Halo 2 was released, and the backlash from these retards caused them to remove as much Arbiter stuff from 3 as they could
