So I’ve been making my way through MCC again, and I finished Halo 4 the other night and started some Spartan Ops today.
Holy shit, the Prometheans are honestly fucking terrible. Like what the actual hell were the devs on when they made these guys? The Watchers are the most bullshittest enemy to ever bullshit, Crawlers are incredibly annoying (although easy to pop) and Knights are just time-consuming bullet sponges.
On top of that, the despawning weapons thing is completely fucked. It screws you out of any possibility of scrounging up ammo during or after intense firefights, so God forbid you want to hang back and take your time picking off enemies before making your way to the next objective.
Spartan Ops is just more bullshit on the shit cake. Just incredibly unbalanced to where some missions are too easy and you’re done in 5 minutes, and others you just get swarms of enemies that hunt you down relentlessly as soon you spawn in.
I didn’t mind the Didact, even though I hadn’t read the books leading up to, or really anything besides Contact Harvest and Evolutions. I thought it was fucking awesome that we had a living Forerunner character and I wanted to see why he hated humanity (I still haven’t found all the terminals in MCC)
