Dude, I just want to say a massive thank you for this! I've been stuck on this level for such a hell of a long time now, however with your help in the walkthrough I was able to restart the mission from scratch and finally complete the mission in around an hour and a half. I found all your tips and techniques very useful and they really made a difference. You and MythicTyrant are the best Halo players I've seen on here :) Keep up with the awesome work! ^^
The Halo 4 DMR is a more powerful weapon, so I prefer it from that aspect. But it's so much easier to use that I think it is a detriment to the amount of skill you have to utilise. I went back and played some Reach recently (preparing for these and some other videos I'll post later next week) and hitting stuff was hard! In H4 it's almost an auto-headshot on everything except crawlers and freakin' Knights. Kinda like HCE M6D to H2 BR. 'Better' weapon, but less skill.
youre a god when it comes to speedruns i always enjoy watching your videos. i just want to point out though that the seraph was in the books a lot so between halo 2 and reach there were seraph just not the ones you could play. theyre the equivalent of longsword (the ship you escape in in halo CE) and are both used as scouts as well as close combat against larger ships in orbit (thats why in the level oni base in reach the corvette actually retreats when it sees the longswords "pushing"
The level after this is Exodus. So ordinarily that is what I would post next, but I've already done a (bad) commentary for that ages ago and I don't see the point in duplicating the effort. So if you want to see it, check out the LASO Reach Playlist linked in the description.
when long night of solace LASO poped up as the weekly for the first time... clearing the enemies in the big room for the pelican caused my friend to have a mental break down and cry himself to sleep. fucking casual
And no, I don't think Bloom in Reach, as implemented, was great. I mean just the pure mechanical skill it takes to put the reticle over the target in Reach is greater than in H4.
All your videos are like god tear Levels of impressive it is seriously like watching a machine. Now reach in in mcc you can actually skip these cutscene... Make of that what you will
Halo 4 was better than I expected - don't get me wrong. But we became super spoiled as Halo fans under Bungie :P 343i's Jessica Shea (BS Angel) confirmed earlier this year on her Twitter (and later in a Waypoint Bulletin as well) that a TU for Campaign/Spops theatre wasn't going to happen. I was super sadface :'(
Hey RC. You've been laying low recently.... why not do reviews of the existing halo games, from ce to 4? What you think about the story, campaign design etc? Would love to hear your thoughts... cheers!
Reach has horrible weapon and mele damage balancing. A sword cant kill an elite with one stab but an elite can bop you on the head or roundhouse kick (also a pretty stupid concept) you dead in one strike. Elites throw grenades at professional baseball pitching speed.....it is really pissing me off that I keep getting meleed dead in one hit by these flying elites when entering the corvette. Unfortunately it just doesn't play out nicely like in this video each time. There is simply too much RNG in this game.
Once One understands what to do in the space dogfighting part, get to the corvette and it's probably even harder to get passed the 6 flying elites.....and since I let these laso tutorial videos talk me into bringing a rocket launcher instead of a plasma pistol, there is pretty much only a specific way this area can play out or I am dead. Its about 1/2 the time that both elites will come up and out. If that doesn't happen, may as well quit/save and hope for better RNG luck next load, because the two elites at the controls will move and now the rocket launcher is completely useless. If you shoot a rocket at an elite who sees it, he is just going to sidestep it every time. With perfect random good luck.....the rocket launcher method works (if you hit them directly and IF they dont move.) Unfortunately its not really a great strategy if it relies on perfect RNG. Im really sick of this mission and I really dont want to restart so that I can bring a plasma pistol instead of this dumb-slow rocket.
Truly Godly man, That space fight made it look like you were on Easy haha, Why Frank ruined Halo :( , Easy plot line they should of picked from Halo 4 ( apart from hiring colour blind people) Chief crashes on a planet and cortana still has rampancy except he finds Jorge as an old man who has massive respect for Halsey, Instead we are gonna get 343 guilty spark as the villain as they kept showing his symbol all through out 4 and his humming at the end of 5, another rip off grave mind thread :( god i hate 343
This guy is lying at about 18 minutes in he remarks that he picked up a plasma pistol with 100 percent charge if he had the blind skull on he would not have be able to see its charge BUSTED!

32:09. Fixed the title now. Thanks for the spot :)
Bungie really needed to work on those assassination mechanics
29:04, "Worst throw ever, of all time!".

U need more subs
Man thank god that pelican gun glitch still works on MCC
The elite at 2:30....why does hitting him in the back never work?
Elite General or Zealot. Their shields are insane!

What happened to the entire UNSC fleet and the orbital defenses. How come we don't see that on this mission?

Sword flying, the best bug in H2!

why couldn't I see anything you were holding, or your arms
Blind skull

Only what I showed you. *shrugs* Seraphs coming behind Anchor 9 is usually rare. And that gives you a little bit of time to try and pick them off.
Never knew about banshees
When I get time I will :)
If you could be any Covenant Empire species what would that species be,and what rank of that species would you be?
Awesome vid RC, I know you've probably been asked this a hundred times but do you prefer the Reach DMR over Halo 4 DMR?
Councilor or Field Marshall works too
Please segment the whole of Reach at some point. I'd love to see what kind of tricks you could pull off.
imthebest
32:06
You weren't playing LASO....
LASO was playing RC Master
Will you continue your halo anniversary classic skulls run?
Hey rc i am getting a hint you are not H4's biggest fan. Did you ever hear anything back about campaign theater? Cheers buddy
At the start of the video you say it's in 32:09, but the title says 32:04. Which is it?
You can't do this level on legendary zero shot

David Hull no the plasma pistol he picks up is always guaranteed to have 100 ammo
He's probably played the campaign 100s of times on all difficulties. So he knows what is what and where. BUSTED!
