AI Marine Gunners & Force Fields in Halo 3

Video Transcript

"JOHN SEXTON: Halo 3 is a registered trademark of Bungie Software, a company with which I have no affiliation. You can try to hang back and let the AI machine gunners take out as many guys as possible before you rush into the fray. One of the easiest ways to die in Halo is to rush into the battle too quickly and then you get surrounded and the enemies take you out. Because they are pretty smart, you definitely want to hang back and try to use hit-and-run tactics or hide and take cover as much as possible to stay alive. Now, in this section, we're up against a new vehicle you can see there on the horizon. It's called the "Brute Chopper" and it's sort of like a motorcycle with blades instead of wheels that the Brutes ride around on and try to run into you with. It also has a rocket launcher and machine gun on it so it's a pretty dangerous vehicle, and you want to avoid even being touched by it because the blades in the front will cause damage to anything they touch. But we were able to hang back there and shoot the Brutes out of the chopper. And so now we're approaching this tunnel that's got a force field over it. Of course, plenty of Covenant guarding it in some mounted guns. Now, vehicles can't go through the force field so we've got to find a way to turn that off so we can proceed through the level. It's also a force field that prevents bullets from going through just like the bubble field, so we have to draw the enemies out from behind the force field if we want to take them down. My gunners are doing a really good job of taking out the enemies for me and I'm just trying to drive around and present a moving target so the bad guys have a harder time of getting a hold of me. And here I've got one of my marines who has actually picked up one of the Brute Choppers and he's driving it around."
