I bought a new Laptop. It is an Asus Tuf Gaming A17. But then MS pulled a fast one. Secure Boot. What a nightmare. I see how to work around it, but I cannot seem to find a way to coexist with it. Any thoughts? You know where to find me. I will be playing Frog all day most days.
I got busy IRL for the past several weeks again. My Gentoo is still on the A grade game. For you: Just go into the BIOS / UEFI interface and disable the secure boot and the TPM too. That way, you won't be restricted from Linux installations. With secure boot enabled, you'll supposedly be limited to only Ubuntu/Debian. I think MX will run the ASUS laptop excellently and I'm very positive on that.
Dang, I am here just because I have tried this part 30+ times on noble and still can't get through it. I guess part of the problem is that I didn't bring that Hunter cannon with me...just the sniper rifle and the battle rifle. I'm gonna keep trying, might have to restart the level and bring that cannon with, though. Don't want to, but might have to.
@ Dark metallic adolescents No. It isn't impossible for you, unless you mean doing it the way YggdrasilTid did it. YggdrasilTid is a skilled brawl-fighter, but THIS IS HALO:CE--you don't HAVE to be a super-skilled brawler to get through these scenes because there's nearly always another way to handle it if you use your head. I'm a mediocre brawler, but years ago I did the entire game in Legendary many times, using strategy and tactics that don't require much brawling skill. There are 4 corridors opening into the Gravity Lift Bay, and groups of Covies spawn at specific places up these corrodors and run down into the bay. Two of those corridors (on your left as you land in the bay) lead to a connecting corridor, where you can hide out of sight of the bay. Covies generally don't run back up into the corridors unless you draw them up by showing yourself or continual firing. There's a spot where you can stand and suppress spawning at one spawn point, and cover another spawn point with the sniper rifle. If you limit your fire to 4 quick shots, it doesn't draw Covies up to where you are; and you can play peekaboo and snipe Covies down in the bay, one at a time. No brawling skill required. Unfortunately (for some players), this leaves the marines to die at the hands of the Covies, whom they won't fight with the same vigor and skill that they show when they're trying to kill YOU. I usually prefer to get rid of my marines as soon as I can, because they screw up my stealth tactics. If there are no enemies handy to kill them off, I have to kill them myself. Fortunately for me, they're as stupid as Covies.
No, I'm just an old-school Halo:CE player. There is now a new generation of players who cut their teeth on the sequential Halo games and who probably don't realize how versatile and flexible and the original Halo is. I originally got hooked on Halo, playing a friend's Xbox, when I realized that I didn't have to play it the way he did, always rushing to finish the game as soon as he could. I saw a different way to play one level, and lo and behold, Halo:CE gave me the leeway to play it MY way--which was a lot more fun for ME. This game if full of so many options, you'll probably never find them all. Try BadCyborgMovies 's channel, starting with BCM1 through BCM266 (as of this date) to see all the things newbies don't know you can do. Some take skill, but others are just knowing how to do stuff. The only hate I have is that the Halo franchise made sequels LESS interesting than the first one. It could have been done the other way around. The same engine, AIs, and weapons with some added content (new AIs and weapons) would have been a LOT more interesting than Halo 2, for instance. But that's an ancient discussion.... :(
Of note, the video shows that I mis-typed some filenames at the beginning, and acknowledged and fixed those later on. Those screenshots at the beginning were clearly for the 2 hour 30 min mark. Whoops!
