Please reply to this post with any aspect of Halo that makes it a good game, that is worth playing. Please do not post anything that is available in many other FPS GAMES, i want UNIQUE reasons.

Vehicles, especially ones like the Warthog that are quasi-troop-transport vehicles. Two hogs full of teammates can take down a base easily.

The best thing about Halo is the sense of thrill when you enter a new area. Here's the scenario: You're carefully looking around a new, unscouted area. You don't hear much, but you can hear the distant noise of elites talking in the nearby hallway. You turn the corner and come face to face with a Hunter (Lekgolo). This scares the crap outta you, but at the same time adds excitement to the game. You know that there is another one nearby, considering Lekgolo always travel in pairs. You turn to find one charging at you and you sidestep just in time. You know you're in for one heck of a fight. (Unless you're a noob and kill it with one pistol shot to the orange spot, taking all the fun out of the hunt)



Situations like those, frightening yet thrilling, are the best thing about Halo, in my opinion.

Noob? I prefer not to waste ammo. Besides, noobs tend to panic and spray ammo wildly around... the experienced skilled people kill it with one pistol shot.

That's not what I mean...usually people will just kill it off so that they can beat the game and get it over with, instead of enjoying it. They should appreciate the time and effort that the programmers put into the game to make it thrilling. That's what I mean.

Re: [Ultimate Zero] What is teh BEST thing about Halo? [In reply to] Can't Post

I agree with both of you, I don't like to waste ammo, but I like the thrill of the hunt. So, I usually fist fight them, or stand a really long ways away and try to snipe them in the neck.

Ah, so you must love that one bit in Keyes (Halo 1) where you get to snipe those two Hunters who are being stormed by carrier forms.

Yup, or I just toss the sniper away and go melee crazy. I like Assault on the Control Room the best tho, many hunters and sniping and rockets flying and explodingLaugh

Meph. I know that you can cliff-jump down from the bridge to the Pelican and have no enemies the rest of the way. I know that you can steal a Banshee and go to the Control Center and not have any enemies. (I've done the latter, haven't been able to manage the former but I've seen it in a video, trying to copy it)

What other stuff is in there?

Re: [Arkanor] What is teh BEST thing about Halo? [In reply to] Can't Post

...Cliff-jump, I wonder how long it took to figure that out. Don't know if this is on PC version. If you fly high enough with the banshee the checkpoint won't trigger, which doesn't load any enemies. If you grab the banshee, then fly backwards to the bridge you came from and make your way back to the insertion point and fly down as far as you can go (there will be an invisible wall), then land on the ledge circling the tunnel and in the middle of one of the thinner parts, the Siege of Madrigal from Myst will start to play. The same song can also be found at the last section of this level, with the natural bridge, first you need to knock the banshee you first see off of the bridge so the elite can't fly it, then make your way down to the ground and fly the banshee up the massive pillar just outside the control room doors, the pillar has three, I'll call them supports, land on the middle support and go to the edge that would be on your right if you were facing the direction of the control room, then the song should play. I know it's quite useless, but meh.

Re: [Arkanor] What is teh BEST thing about Halo? [In reply to] Can't Post

AgreedSmile

Then there are things on any level like the hippo head on a wasted shotgun shell, the Japanese character on the bottom of the pistol that means power, if you enter ".fortune" as a profile name a message will appear above the name, there are ten messages that play in sequence and I think you can just delete the name and enter it again instead of saving the name then changing it again. When you have EDIT gameTYPES selected there is a picture of MC with very small text, and it doesn't say what you think it should, here is a picture that has the text big enough to read easily http://nikon.bungie.org/tipsntricks/eggs/gametypes.finished.gif. There is also a Chinese seven on the top of the pistol (if it looks like a seven with a horizontal line through it, it's upside downWink). The numbers on the panel beside the headlight on the Scorpion are the birth date of Halo's art director, Marcus Lehto, March 5, 1969. The same guy also has his initials on the bottom of MC's boot, shown in this picture http://nikon.bungie.org/tipsntricks/eggs/mc.with.foot.up.jpg. On the level Keyes, when you find Keyes as the blob of Flood, you can see his pipe hanging down below the platform http://nikon.bungie.org/screenshots/truthandrecon.010903/d20_19.jpg. On The Maw, a little bit after you try to meet up with Foe Hammer (around 915 meters remaining), there will be a side passage that is kind of a shortcut, half way through the tunnel there will be another tunnel that turns out to be a dead end, at the end there is a grunt who will say "Good thing that food nipple's waitin' for me at the starship, cause, man! Have I worked up a big, grunty, thirst!" this video shows it http://nikon.bungie.org/tipsntricks/eggs/foodnipplegrunt.mov Then later on, when you take the leap of faith and land on the little tunnel bellow which has a little jump right after it, if you stop on this "island" and park the hog as close to the edge as possible, then jump up on the upper level and go in the door way http://nikon.bungie.org/tipsntricks/eggs/rex.mov. And then there is the elusive Meg Egg, the hardest and most looked for egg in Halo, here are the steps to getting it (not that it will work the first timeSly)

1. Start PoA on Legendary, single player. Unknown if it works on co-op.
2. Skip the cutscene, turn around, and jump on Master Chief's cryo tube after it closes.
3. Jump on top of the shield regenerator.
4. Jump on top of the walkway.
5. Look up, then walk towards the exit while on the walkway.
6. Once done, turn around and walk to the back.
7. Jump on top of the barrel.
8. Jump down to the barrel below it.
9. Run around on these barrels.
10. Jump back on top of the top barrel. Do this by holding crouch right before the jump reaches its apex.
11. You should hear the crewman leave - he says "This way!".
12. Wait for the explosion. Music starts.
13. Jump back on top of the walkway. Walk towards the door, jump off walkway and head for the bridge.
14. Run past the Australian Marine.
15. Once at the bridge, walk PAST Keyes WITHOUT triggering the cutscene and jump down to the ladder. Wait for the message on climbing ladders to appear before jumping up.
16. Climb up and talk to Keyes.
17. Head for the exit. Kill all three grunts. The order doesn't appear to matter.
18. Get the Assault Rifle by the door. Reload it for a full clip.
19. Kill a standing crewman near the door without a headshot. With what weapon doesn't appear to matter.
20. Once the invincible marines come for you, shoot at them with the Ar until your clip is empty. (the door will open exactly when Cortana says "rampant").
21. Duck behind the pillar next to the door, reload, and fire at them some more.
22. Run for the door. It should open by now.
23. Go down the hall. Look up. There it is.
24. Now you're screwed - you can stay in the Megg room, but if you leave, the invincible marines will kill you. Even if you run past them, the door to the rest of the Autumn is locked. Nice knowing you.
