Front energy sword strikes are one-kill as well, I think. The brute carbine also has an insta kill.
Clubbing people is pretty much over with. If you're dual wielding(which should be about 85% of the time), you lose your gun if you club so I really don't do it at all anymore.
Not all front Energy Sword swipes are though. The melee lunges are mostly 1 hit kills for lesser enemies, but higher order elites and brutes take two or three usually. Or so I've noticed, I think..
One thing I do like though, the Hunters are actually a shit load harder this time. Unless you have a scoped gun, or are shooting from behind, you will most likely not hurt them. They were fucking cake in HALO, and now they are actually formiddable. If you get two of them in close quarters, they are a pain in the ass!
I'm going to buy it but there's no way I'm gonna pay for Live. I'll just own up on my friends on system link.
sucks for you thantos i bought 2 x box games in a yard sale and i guess the retards forgot but their was like 6 passes of full years in one of the games....2 were used but 4 werent so i kind of lucked out. my best tip for you man is go buy splinter cell brand new...it comes with a free year of xbox live in it.
I just played it at my friends house, good game I really like the double weapons. He has live so we played a bit and that was sweet. But yeah legendary is fucking impossible.
