I really wish SP guns could carry more ammo.

It just seems that on anything higher than easy that I can only kill a handful of enemy before running out of ammo for that gun. On heroic the Prometheans are such bullet sponges that I find myself having to use their weapons, due to their large ammo compactly, instead of the human variants.

I know that this was done to balance MP and to keep the games world consistent, but in the end it really ruins the SP mode me for.

If you're running out of ammo on Heroic, don't even try Legendary.

That's the problem though. I actually enjoyed the campaign (sans the lack of ammo),but the first thing I use to do after beating a Halo was to start it again on legendary.

With this one though, I really don't feel like it. Those little dog enemies were a pain in the arse on Heroic due to the limited ammo, and the same goes double for the Prometheans. I couldn't imagine if they were even harder to kill and there was even less ammo around.

I appreciate that some people might like the extra challenge of having to swap guns every few kills, but couldn't they leave that for runs with the famine skull?

The Crawlers aren't even hard to deal with. Even on Legendary they aren't that hard. Just take them out with Precision weapons. Preferably the Light Rifle. Your gonna have a lot harder time taking them out with Assault weapons.

I know it sounds like I'm having a whinge here, but I don' wanna use the light gun rifle and supressor rifle!.

I used them for 99% of all Promethean missions on Heroic and it just makes it feel like I'm playing a game with only 2 weapons.

Dude what is wrong with you? On Legendary, without vehicles or power weapons, you can kill all Knight variants in 3 shots, all Elite variants in 2 shots, and all other enemies in 1 shot! Except Watchers for some reason.

That's kind of ironic... how on Legendary the enemies that take the most bullets to kill are Watchers just because they don't have a target for precision weapons. Not one that I'm aware of, anyway. Even their little heads don't work when their shields are down. But Watchers die very quickly anyway because even though they don't have a precision target, they don't have high health even on Legendary. A quick burst from an automatic weapon or about 5 shots from a precision weapon and they go down.

Is there something about the way I type that makes it sound angry? Maybe it's just something about the way you read.

How many shotgun shots does it take to down a knight on legendary? Because the game only lets you carry a handful of ammo for it and there's barely any scattered around.

Same goes for pistol, BR and DMR. There just isn't enough ammo lying around to make up for the little you can carry on you at once.

3 shots from a BR can kill a knight, so that's 9 rounds all up. How many can you carry at once, maybe 90? That's ten knights before you have to start thinking about grabbing a new weapon.

10 people is fair enough for a spree with one weapon in multiplayer, but in campaign I'd like the option of using one weapon all level if I want. I should be picking up different weapons because I want to switch up how I'm playing or exploit an enemies weakness, not because the game forces me to every few minutes with it's strict ammo capacity.

(by the way, not getting worked up over this. Just sharing thoughts with you guys)

Usually there are a couple rack of guns in new areas. You just have to look for them.

3 BR shots to kill a Knight? On Legendary? Are we playing the same game?

I don't know how many shots a BR takes, I was just assuming that's what the other guy meant when he said you can kill all knights in three shots.

To be honest I haven't played the game in a few months so I've forgotten all the specifics. I just saw it on the shelf and thought about playing it again, only to decide not to because heroic was frustrating enough due to the ammo cap.
Not that it was too hard for me, but feeling forced to use certain weapons is irritating.
