I don't understand Sarah Palmer....

Ok, so in the cutscene in spartan ops when the unsc is being invaded by prometheans, palmer kills them with 1 head shot with a PISTOL! WHERE DID THE PROMETHEAN SHIELDS GO?!?!? I have to shoot a promethean knight twice with a beam rifle to kill it, but palmer gets to 1 shot them with some halo ce GOD pistol.

Also, in the trailer for episode 8, she gets knocked down by a promethean knight… that was just dissapointing in my eyes… i would just expect a spartan to reaction faster to something like that… well shes not a spartan ll so i guess that explains it…

I’ve learned this since Halo Wars. THE CGI Halo World and the Gameplay Halo World are two different things.

“Why, yes, as a matter of fact, I will take the Palmer pistol into my next firefight.”

She also never wears her helmet, which is dumb because SPARTANS can’t activate their energy shields without their helmet on.

> She also never wears her helmet, which is dumb because SPARTANS can’t activate their energy shields without their helmet on.

i know… she shouldve atleast been wearing the helmet in the campaign,where she meets chief for the first time… also doesnt it bother anyone else how cat dies in halo reach? what was the point of wearing all that armor with you die in 1 shot :confused: so does this mean that in halo 4… if a spartan gets shot in the head they will die even if they have a helmet? O_o

Let’s not forget that Thorne one-shots 2 elites with the Storm Rifle.

another one of these threads? palmer duel weilds, palmer kills a promethean in one shot
ITS A CUTSCENE, who cares honestly, you know its not related to gameplay, stop with these please…

I think it’s just a hump you have to get over that CGI will be different from gameplay.

Lol I just got a mental picture of Thorne unloading on those elites with the storm rifle…I just don’t think it would work too well for the, to have to unload 4 clips of magnum ammo on one promethean.

I agree, I would love to watch a cutscene with Palmer shooting a Knight with a pistol 16 times and dodging enemy fire for 30 seconds. That would have definitely added to the moment. /sarcasm

every NPC has superpowers. ._.

i will not stop until it is just! and that NPCs will have to unload 5 clips of ammo on promethean knights! so that they will know what i have suffered >:l

That would have been boring.

Alternatively she could have fired at them with both pistols while backpedaling as the Prometheans menacingly continued to approach since pistols should do jack -Yoink- to ancient robot space demons.

A headshot with any gun will kill you. The point of wearing the armor are the energy shields it affords. As well as the HUD and performance boost(faster running, strength to flip a tank etc.)

However, the EMP that followed the glassing beams of the covenant ships overhead temporarily rendered their energy shield offline.

The Halo 1 Pistol

Two things here - when cut scenes begin everyone JUST got hit by a plasma pistol overcharge. second, all cutscenes are filmed in easy difficulty.

> “Why, yes, as a matter of fact, I will take the dual wielding Palmer pistols into my next firefight.”

Fixed.

Plot hole bullets are very deadly

Why is she allowed to dual wield and we’re not?

To add to that the books also use a completely different scale for weapon strength. For example a single plasma pistol shot would burn directly through armor in the books.
