K so blah blah blah, those of you who saw the diary of Other M are probably pretty familiar with what this is. Anyways, it's just me chronicling what I do(or don't do) in the first runs of games, this time Reach.
Also yes I have it yay. No I haven't gotten to fly my spaceship(Sabre) yet.
Day 1: Not so long opening cutscene compared to Other M, the opening one is the one in the trailers where Noble Six gets introduced to the rest of his new team. Anyways, after being sent to investigate a group of rebels that apparently took down a military squad, I found the Covenant(and by Covenant I mean a truckload of Zealots) hiding in a bunch of houses. As if no one saw this coming. Not too much action to kick things off, but hey, it's the start of the game. One thing I like about this is the return of the "energy tanks" from...Halo CE, I believe? The health packs from ODST and Halo CE make a return here to recharge the energy tanks(bars at the bottom of the screen). But enough about that. More firefights, managed to get through this part without dying. Eventually found some house where Kat(who is a real "cool dude") told ONI through some comm link that the Covenant was here. Jorge and Emile almost got into a fight. I can tell this team isn't gonna work much better than the Toa Mata.
Went to some other base on Reach called sword base. More Covenant, got a warthog and learned again why I never let the AI drive. After driving through Elites and stealing a Ghost from a Grunt, I found some weird....tiny...wraith, I guess? It looks like a wraith, it shoots like a wraith(it blows you up like a wraith), and yet it's smaller and a million times more annoying because it's so fast and agile. Eventually blew it up, blah blah blah, activated a signal, got the heck out of there. Met a Phantom with the rest of Noble Team(and a bunch of annoying active camo Elites), blew it with these awesome lock on rockets, end of level(except for meeting Catherine Hasley, who also is a cool dude.
Day 2:
Night mission! Hooray...until I find out that it's a sniping mission. Oh well. Looks like the special sniper ammo isn't all that special...but that might be because I can't hit a moving target to save my life. Thankfully, not many of the Elites move all that much...until you hit one of them. Then it becomes pistol time.
After a lot of trying to figure out where to go and fighting more Elites, I came across some military base where a bunch of people were getting destroyed horribly by the Covenant army. After saving them, Jun decided to "steal back" the already stolen weaponry, and then a freaking truckload of Phantoms and enemies. After killing all of them, went to some riverbed(avoiding yet ANOTHER Phantom), and eventually Jun went in and planted a charge on a Covenant pylon's leg/arm/whatever the heck it is. Ran away, met another freaking Phantom, a Shade, and a Covenant Corvette. After a bunch more firefights, the mission ended, with Noble Six pointing out that Reach is being invaded.
Day 3: Wow, did a lot of stuff today. Finally got to flah my Sabre but that's later. Anyways, first mission I did started off with a boatload of warthogs heading straight toward a Covenant pylon, which apparently was disguising their forces that had already arrived. After barely making it over a cliff, Noble Six got up on his own will and saw a warthog crash into the edge of the cliff and fall through(the "DAT SAWX" moment of the game). Got a grenade launcher and started blowing things up. Eventually got to a Covenant AA gun in a rocket warthog. After fighting some enemies, I blew the gun up and went further on to find another AA gun, complete with it's own amount of annoying hunters and such. Blew the gun up(decided to ignore the hunters), and then watched a Phantom drop off like 5 Grunts. Some reinforcements. A Pelican stopped by and dropped off a garrison of Marines. Got to ride shotgun(with a turret) on a Falcon, and after blowing up a bunch of Covenant things, the pilot decided to fly straight into the Covenant shield around the pylon. Bad idea. Falcon crashed, and so we had to go inside and blow it up....annoying.
I'm actually getting really bored of typing all this stuff down so yeah. Blog probably ends here. I'm sad that Jorge died, but even sadder that he pretty much died pointlessly.
