[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mark V guy Personally I found the boss battles weren't really like boss battles you would find in a platformer. Bosses don't have increased health or anything (apart from tartarus's shield) [/quote][url=http://halo.xbox.com/Forums/yaf_postsm973553_Boss-Battles-In-H4.aspx#post973553]A rare kind of intelligence from Waypoint[/url] proves your claim wrong. H2 boss battles were easy (unless you limited yourself to melee and grenades). It's just the high damage and the constant reinforcements that made them difficult on higher difficulties. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mark V guy and I felt the battles were realistic and were actually what would've happened in the story. [/quote]Realistic? Not a chance. Would have happened in the story. Perhaps. I liked the degree of customization. Fighting Tartarus with vehicles, armies of Elites, Johnson clones. Playing hide and seek with the Heretic leader (sword cancel off of him to fly to the other side, cloak, and hide under the ramp. This is way better than swording like crazy and getting pwnd in seconds and it works with all skulls on). [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mark V guy For example sesa refumee has the same health and shields as a normal heretic elite,[/quote]Are you blind? He has like 5x the health of an Heretic Elite. It's merely disguised by teleporting. It's just like Reach skirmishers. They take a heck lot of body shots but they stumble every time to hide the fact that they're damage sponges. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mark V guy Tartarus would have those shields because he is the chieftain of the brutes, [/quote] Understandable. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mark V guy and regret is a prophet so he understandably has an over shield, but he is easy to kill[/quote]Prophets don't use overshields. They only Covie technology they use in combat besides their thrones is the plasma pistol (and this is depicted in the boss fight if you get him out of his throne with dual needlers). In fact, it would be more believable if there were Engineers protecting Regret. Then we wouldn't have to board him to kill him. Just shoot the Engineers leaving Regret open instead of taking chances with boarding (it's stupid how you immediately get shot at once you get off of him. On SLASO, it's ridiculous fighting Regret unless you combine your melees with grenades and run like hell). I always wanted to rocket the bastard. [Edited on 05.23.2012 9:23 AM PDT]
