Giving him a concussion rifle is like giving him an index to fire a Halo. That gun in the hands of an Non Player Character is the most powerfull gun in halo history.
it actually is just a basically reskinned brute shot, it's fairly strong because as a projectile weapon it's not subject to damage fall off, but its damage radius is fairly small, it's effective against any enemy that has low health or low explosive resistance, so it works well in multiplayer and on cannon fodder but shielded enemies just laugh at it
@@iceink Trust me, give it to the marines on Corvette and they wont need a Spartan to help them. As a player weapon I am sure you are right but Non Player Characters in reach never have to reload and just spam it. It's like a warthog shooting phantom shots with no heat management needed
I think this mostly just comes down to two things: 1: CE characters have an animation that runs when unshielded and taking explosive damage, so they become basically stun-locked when they get hit; and 2: CE characters have an animation that plays when they spot the enemy, whereas the Ultra just starts shooting. As a result, the Ultra gets to stun lock almost every CE character for a massive chunk of damage at the start of every fight.
@@CODDE117 Yeah, as far as tactics go, CE elites beat reach elites soundly every day of the week, as reach elites are dumb bullet sponges running towards you and shooting. But they simply didn't get to have that chance here as they were far from cover and the concussion rifle breaks CE's AI
That, and the fact all the combatants are tightly grouped up from the start, instead of more naturally placed. So the whole group takes AoE damage right at the start.
@@gregoryrose13I just beat reach on legendary and can tell you that's what it is, and the other people in this section might be coping but reach is way harder than CE, a whole mag from a DMR just to drop the shields on an ultra if you hit all in the head
It’s like the only viable shot gun in the franchise all the other ones have garbage range and shit damage idk why everyone’s got an obsession with nerfing cool things until they are functionally useless.
For a time I wasn't really sure what was so bad about them. I hated them as a kid playing through on legendary the first several times, but nowadays it feels more like Heroic. Asides from Halo 2 that is. But then I decided I'd dip my toes into LASO thinking it'd be a disaster but it wasn't that bad for most of the Halo games. But all those enemies I used to hate reemerged with a vengeance. I've memorized all the Jackal snipers, but when they're invisible and you have no hud memorization isn't enough. Rocket flood I always killed before i even remembered they were there, but in LASO you don't really have the time to pick them out on The Library. Halo 2 dual wielding elites join the roster of bullshit enemies when playing LASO. They will delete you just as fast as a jackal sniper, especially when there's several like at the end of Cairo Station, also known as the 7th circle of Hell. And concussion elites will erase you if a direct hit is made. But they don't need direct hits anyways. Black Eye ensures every little bit of splash damage will make things even worse for you and waste away any medpacks you had saved for harder encounters. Basically LASO really sucks but in a fun nostalgic kinda way. Really brought me back to the days of raging at Legendary. But not Halo 2 LASO. I beat all the others within a week like a year ago but I'm still only on Metropolis in H2 because I had to do Cairo Station twice. The playlist restarted for some reason and it pretty much broke me. Every time I think about continuing I dread pretty much every level from Delta Halo onwards.
Actually it wasn’t from Friendly Fire. The Fuel Rod Cannon in CE is designed to self destruct when it’s operator is killed, according to the history of the model, it self destructs when the operator is killed to prevent the enemy from taking the weapon on the battlefield.
@@nikerailfanningttm9046 So what you're saying is an enemy weapon killed the rest of said enemies due to how the weapon was utilized by them? I wonder what that sounds like.....
The damned reach elite melee on legendary puts you down to 1 bar or so of health. From full shields and health, and it's a 3 second melee with the only telegraph being them running at you, which is barely a telegraph because at the range they melee and their speed they reach you in less than 4 seconds. It's a shame cus I really like melee range combat and sprint.
@@In-Nihilum I'm quite sure for all elites on legendary you need to be full health and full shields to survive a melee hit. Even a small bit of damage means you die. As far as I remember all of em had the same amount of melee damage.
So to summarize, the only victors against the Halo Reach Ultra were a five man Covenant Commando squad, a golden sword Elite (only against ranged form, not sword form), five marines with shotguns...and a disembodied light bulb...
@brayachdragonbane7529 to be fair, the ultra is using aimbot concussion rifle, which basically stun locks most of the unshealded enemies and basically destroys any numerical advantage. Considering the dodge animation and AI the ultra has, I'd say the rocket launcher is fair game.
I never felt like Legendary was the hardest difficulty on Reach. I felt Heroic was and that was due to there being more silver Ultra elites. The gold ranked ones on legendary never felt that hard and doing co op on Legendary and Heroic years later, we found legendary to be easier still.
That’s literally how they would be lore accurate wise specially sense there was a bunch of them in line waiting to get hit is literally why he got the upper hand
3:57 really a beautiful scene where a CE elite avenged his dead friends by fighting three ultras alone. Obviously, he’ll die by the same hands that killed his friends, but he was at least able to return the favor to the ultras by killing one of them
After beating Halo 1-3 and Reach on Legendary, I can say that the only results that surprised me were the ones where the Reach Elite lost. Watching the Reach Elite lose to an H1 gold sword Elite, only to come back and destroy the H1 Elite with his own sword made me laugh out loud.
This is IMO what is truly missing from Infinite and especially the campaign. AI vs AI. This was one of the best parts of Halo CE IMO when the flood would fight Covenant and also the marines vs covenant and was never properly duplicated in any Halo title that followed in the same way. It is so much fun to watch the AI go at it and see the varied results. Hopefully when AI comes to forge it allows creators to have the AI fight each other. Having brutes fighting Elites would be so entertaining. Great job with this by the way, highly entertaining. Sword Elite Ultras vs Gold Sword Elites was my favorite parts.
@@dj11o9er Even BETTER, we can _forge_ with AI now… Or at lest people that can understand the scripting systems can. Damned rocket science it is to me still.
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire All I've really done is set up a bunch of AI spawners on two teams to spawn on different timers and set all of them to go to the same Move Zone (you can choose the move zone at the bottom of the spawner's settings). The area they're allowed to fight and maneuver in is based on the size of the Move Zone. Add in a few Spartan bots and make it a King of The Hill gamemode and then you've got a large battle you can can even participate in if you wanted. I used the Oasis map to set this up, constantly having squads spawn and occasionally a Heavy Sentinel with two hunters. Both sides have the same enemy spawns with the same timers.
@@watermelongaming3698 Ok, this is pretty good. Wasn’t expecting forging advice today… So I’m trying to make a Husky Raid with Cycling AI waves, 16 AI for each wave for each time charging towards the other side to the secure the enemy flag and spawn, and each Wave is supposed to be a smidge different... How do I do it like that?
I think all explosions usually do that when we look at these videos. The concussion rifle is probably one of the faster shooting explosive weapons though, making it OP like you say though compared to the others
I remember watching a Reach documentary of how they designed the game and Bungie said that they wanted to make the Elites a formidable foe. Different armour, different classes and more aggressive to reflect the true nature of the Sangheili warrior attributes.
Absolute flex on the marines’ part that a couple of shotgunners ends that elite in 3 shots. Give that shotgun to the entire UNSC, covenant will be negotiating their own surrender in no time before the Chief even shows up.
Really illustrates how OP the Reach Elites Ultras are. Even the noob combo is ineffective against them since the plasma pistol overcharge isn't a guaranteed way to drop shields in the game.
@@watermelongaming3698 Tell me though, what armor ability can counter these fuckers? Sprint ain't doing jack when the Ultras can run faster. Armor lock will only delay your death. Drop Shield will just make it into a boxing match which you'll automatically lose. Cloak can give you the first drop which won't matter since nothing can instakill these guys.
All right, full disclosure I don't know. I guess it's less "keeping up with armor abilities." And more "keeping up with more than one Spartan at all times" (with some exceptions.)
@@watermelongaming3698 Yeah I guess that's it. Most of the time when you fight Ultras, you have other Spartan buddies with you. They're not really that much of a help but they are invincible and can be great distractions. It really makes it a pain wben you fight Ultras without the rest of noble team with you, like in the control room for the covenant cruiser.
@@eskhatos Was always the other way around for me. Unless the Zealot had a concussion rifle. Tbh tho, most of my combat strategy vs Elites involves CQC. Dodging their melee is usually easy. Leaves them open for an assassination
The problem with all the Halo 1 AI is that they all have stagger animations when they get hit to make it seem look very realistic which stun locks them if that animation gets reset. We have seen it alot of times on this channel. The other halo games dropped this behaviour that's why those AI enemies perform better
Halo 2 does have stagger but it's harder to do than in CE. Best example is seen when dual wielding plasma rifles as those seem to stagger enemies quite easily
good video, the ultra elite of reach with that concussion cannon is very broken, not for nothing is it one of the most difficult to eliminate in the campaign but you have long-range weapons
And to think, when Halo 3 came out, the legendary old Bungie devs said 'we don't want to add bots to multiplayer maps, we don't really see the point' They didn't know what they were missing.
I’ve got a few ideas for fights: Jackals vs lots of infection forms. Fuel wield Needler elites vs suicide grunts. Drones vs anti air wraith. Sniper jackals vs hunters or brute choppers Shade turrets vs drones Prometheus an crawlers vs mongoose with various passenger weapons Drones with sniper rifles vs passenger warthogs with battle rifles.
Concussion rifles were like fast firing fuel rod cannons in the hands on ultras and in your hands they were like firing really big water balloons i remember this every time i replay reach.
If you mean Infinite characters vs other Halo's characters, I have no idea. They just kinda seem like their own thing, weapons and all. If you mean Infinite characters vs Infinite characters, there is now AI in Forge. Plus, there were already a lot of Infinite vs Infinite battles on TH-cam.
Infinite NPCs in CE will never truly happen, as the games were made using different engines (Slipspace vs Blam), whereas every other Halo uses the same engine. Closest you can get is model swapping to Infinite characters and using AI packages closest to Infinite's AI, but it's not the same.
The hunter solo fight killed me, bro was getting bodied shot after shot and said alright I’m charging this b***h and got humiliated after throwing two shield attacks, last one going in the wrong direction and than getting put down right after 😂
Demonstrates some of the best bits from Halo 1: the effectiveness and variability of the spec-ops elites, how scary an elite with a sword running at you can be, and just how effective the shotgun was.

When enemies have it, it’s like a handheld Wraith. When you use it, it’s just a knockback gun. The same goes for the Revenant.

Drones vs anti air wraith.
Sniper jackals vs hunters or brute choppers
Shade turrets vs drones
Prometheus an crawlers vs mongoose with various passenger weapons
Drones with sniper rifles vs passenger warthogs with battle rifles.
Concussion rifles were like fast firing fuel rod cannons in the hands on ultras and in your hands they were like firing really big water balloons i remember this every time i replay reach.
Lol. Highest ranking Sangheili had a freakin Reaper Black Star at the end. 🤣
Seeing the drop pod come down in legendary was the “aww fuck where’s the explosives I saved for this or the target locator “
When will you start doing Infinite characters? It will be exciting to see newest vs oldest.
That’s hard it will take him some new updates and upgrades of pc
Reach was the last Halo.
If you mean Infinite characters vs other Halo's characters, I have no idea. They just kinda seem like their own thing, weapons and all. If you mean Infinite characters vs Infinite characters, there is now AI in Forge. Plus, there were already a lot of Infinite vs Infinite battles on TH-cam.
Infinite NPCs in CE will never truly happen, as the games were made using different engines (Slipspace vs Blam), whereas every other Halo uses the same engine.
Closest you can get is model swapping to Infinite characters and using AI packages closest to Infinite's AI, but it's not the same.
The hunter solo fight killed me, bro was getting bodied shot after shot and said alright I’m charging this b***h and got humiliated after throwing two shield attacks, last one going in the wrong direction and than getting put down right after 😂
3:40 what was that? The H1 zealot managed to get the kill by swinging his sword but the Reach elite was behind him?
After so many years not playing the classic halo 1 game I never forgot the amount of purple blood that goes everywhere
I can't rumember, but is the elite at 8:35 the kind of secret boss from reach ?
Field Marshall.
no way they spawn naturally with that gun tho right? I dont think ive ever seen that@@johnstarke5981
"In my book, Experience outranks everything." Well, GARCT Commander Rex was right again it seems.
5:18..come on bro LOL
Those guys sucks 😂
thank you, i didnt know i needed this vid
I feel like giving the ultra something other than a concussion rifle in a couple of the battles would have made the video a bit more fun to watch
The amount of blood lol epic
The poor hunter!!! 😭😭😭😭 4:33
Demonstrates some of the best bits from Halo 1: the effectiveness and variability of the spec-ops elites, how scary an elite with a sword running at you can be, and just how effective the shotgun was.
7:29 aight that’s not fair the Oracle in CE is invincible wtf why would you pin anybody against that version of the Oracle???😂🤣
Cool j'aime bien ta vidéo tu m'as rappelé les souvenirs d'enfance merci à toi
