The Magnum + Grunt Funeral

The Magnum and the Grunt Funeral skull made Legendary mode so much easier don’t you agree?

I’d forgotten that the Magnum could take down anything that stood in your way.
Put enough shots into a vehicle and it’ll be destroyed.
Put enough well aimed shots into a group of Covenant foot soldiers and they’ll be dead in a minute or less.

If you have 2 Elites and a few Grunts just one headshot can kill the entire group. Do you think 343i added the skull in to give us a more of a chance or too make up for the fact that they added specificly hard and annoying achievements for The Library?

They probably added it for a bit of fun, like all skulls are meant for, a bit of fun.

the damn blind skull is not fun!

tbh the shotgun is the most powerful weapon in campaign when bandanna is on.

I would say rocket launcher + bandana = more damage. I’m just glad I can take 1 hunter in 1 shot from a magnum.

> the damn blind skull is not fun!

Its meant to make first person videos, if you didnt want to buy Bungie Pro and download it after using Theater. Its nice that they gave us the alternative, and that its basically the samething with worse graphics.

I really didn’t like most of the skulls in CEA. Way too many of them were for casual gaming. I’ve noticed much of the Halo community does things simply because they are harder, and I’ve seen several others notice the same thing. CEA skulls simply didn’t support this.

I don’t have Grunt Funeral, but I was able to complete Anniversary on Legendary solo (On a different profile though), surprisingly it was easier than other Halo games on Legendary.

I agree that they were added for fun.

But I disagree that all skulls are for fun.

The difficulty skulls are:

Eye Patch
Famine
Black Eye
Malfunction
Fog
Iron

The only skulls that were done incorrectly were:

Foreign: makes things uninteresting
Recession: same effect as Bloom in that it cripples a weapon’s effectiveness
Mythic: unrefined

Now the fun skulls:

GBD
Grunt Funeral
Pinata
Bandanna
Boom

Taking out the 3 unrefined skulls, I would say that the skulls were evenly distributed between difficulty and fun. Most of the difficulty skulls seem to be focused on realism.

Unless of course you get into such tight quarters that distance is almost impossible. It’s fun watching the little guys explode and hearing the cheer, but when you die with it…angry face

However, one Thing I did enjoy ALOT was sticking one grunt, having him run around blow up and boom instant exploding grunt chain reaction. LOL! Great way to clear up a room!

Problem is that I regularly kill grunts then walk over them to continue on in the level, forgetting that it will blow up.
