One of the strategies one must master is when to fight.
I have spent so much time happily addicted to HALO my wife is convinced
she is a widow. Yes I have completed the whole game a number of times,
on all difficulties. The killer was the third level The Truth and
Reconciliation. On Legendary that has to be the level you must use
discretion and stealth. Fighting to the death can take on a new meaning
on that level.
Do I like doing all the levels? Yes, especially level two Halo, with
that one the driving, the sniping, charging the enemy, rescuing our
troops, ahhhhhhhh so sweet.
Back to your question: I starting hogging the xbox from my kids to play
the FPS, killing mankind's enemy. Many times to run back into an area
just to kill them off a different way. i.e. third level The Truth and
Reconciliation: you've fought your way out of the gravity lift room and
up to the deck above the equipment storage (tank, ghosts), cleared the
deck, and plasma pistolled (on overload) the enemy below you. Now rather
continue to the door at the end of the deck, jump down onto the tank.
Go through the open door which leads back up to the upper deck and
attack the elites from the opposite direction they were expecting you.
Really you don't have to deal with them once you jump down, but it's fun
to go get 'em.
Again, for skill testing / fun, I like to see if I can complete a level
AND never have been killed. That is fun, and it requires the strategy of
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL AND FIGHT EVERYONE." Oh yeah, respect you shield
bar as if it was your health. Now try to get through the level without
dying once.
