[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mark V guy I was playing Keyes in the PC, and I don't mean scripted explosions but just explosions everywhere from enemies. The first battle with the spec ops elites is ruined by chaotic flood carrier forms, grenade slamming grunts and fuel rod guns all at the same time, it makes the game lag up and sends your body all the way to other side of the room.[/quote]Are you talking about the room with the Proto-Gravemind? If you keep the door closed, you can preserve those Covies for later battling. Just bypass them after killing all the Flood, there's a health pack nearby for replenishing and go a little bit further for a checkpoint then you can fight them without Flood interference. Also, that (you're playing it on the PC) might explain why there was lag. Go to settings and disable decals, shadows, and select no-vsync. That will drastically improve performance. Also try adjusting particles. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mark V guy In Halo 3 I loved all the missions. The easiness of it all is fun. Cortina is fun because unlike Halo CE and 2 the Flood aren't overpowered. You can actually kill them with melee now. [/quote]You have a point but on a higher difficulty, H3 can be as brutal.
