Me and a friend were going to play some Halo 2 today, but i forgot about my fucked about SD card, so i had to download the entire game again. ODST finished first, and i decided to just mess around in it since i’ve already beaten it and i was short on time today and wanted to play something. This was a lovely mugshot i took of a enemy that got stuck.

My screenshots were acting funky today and the timestamps were all off and then for some reason some screenshots didnt save. I only walked away with two really worth sharing, because of that. I think most of my screenshots i picked today were new ones, but i took so many i can’t be sure, i know for a fact the Main one i picked is new though.

this was a picture of a picture of a antelope i took on the Zoo level. idk why but something about it in a Halo game stood out to me. I also have suspicions that this may not be a new screenshot, but was missed in. But i really like this one so i left it in.

I really like ODST’s vibe. Master Chief is fun, (and i’m not fully in on the Halo lore so i may be wrong about this) but playing as the rookie and not Master Chief in the Spartan suit feels fun and more commando. I’m a sucker for everyday characters.

    ODST is pretty cool, super atmospheric. I hope we get more sideline Halo games in the future

      I’ve heard Reach is supposed to be similar. I’m excited to get to it. I still need to finish 2 on Legendary, and go back and do CE after I accidentally played it without anti-Cheat trying to fix a bug it was having with split screen on Steam Deck and I didn’t get the achievements (I set myself the impossible task of 100% MCC, so I’m dedicated to doing it)

          I’m doing it Co-Op and the forced reset upon a players death is making it really difficult. We’ve been spending almost entire days on just a single level. I’m dreading having to do LASO since I think there’s achievements for that too

            Ah you’re using the iron skull… Haven’t done LASO at all, apparently it’s somewhat easier in coop

              Is there a way to turn Iron Skull off? it was on by default in Halo 2 Legendary since the first level and it’s been a pain in the ass (as much as i love a challenge)

                  I ended up googling the Iron Skull to see exactly how it works. sadly it’s forced on by Legendary Mode in Halo 2 for Co-Op. Thank you for the help though, i’ll be keeping that in the back of my mind once i try out the skulls system

        It’s structured linearly like CE, 2 and 3 (no hub level to wander in like the streets of Mombasa). But you do fight alongside team members, so there’s that. It’s very emotional and human too, and generally more grounded. Have a great time
