First Impressions: Halo PC

[WarLocke]

Talking about Elites, do their shields regenerate like the Chief's one?

Yes, yes they do. <_<

That's why Elites piss me off so much. They almost never travel alone, so you can't really concentrate on them until you've taken out their Grunt/Jackal squadmates, and then as soon as you get a few good hits in, they duck for cover. If you don't keep the pressure on, they'll pop out in a few seconds with recharged shields, and all the ammo you spent on them was wasted.

Sometimes one'll duck behind some obstacle, and my vision will just red out and I'll charge through a firezone to hop onto the cover and unload a clip into its' ugly reptilian face. :angry:

Something about The Flood: Cheap! Imagine a long long narrow corridor, and imagine that I've come from one end, making doubly and triply sure I've cleared anything behind, in case I have to pull back. Now imagine I come out of the corridor, see a blitz of monsters, and try to pull back, just to find the corridor is CHOKE FULL OF ENEMIES.

While that is kinda cheap, I rationalized it as the Flood assimilating the Covenant and Marines you left behind. After all, the Master-Chief is Space Rambo, but even he can't kill every Covenant on Halo. There are (were?) undoubtably some that you bypassed and/or plain didn't encounter.
