Cursed Halo Again

Halo Cart was a mistake here
I'm sure it's fun with friends the way it was originally built, but putting it into this singleplayer mod sucks. It shouldn't have had the top 3 to progress requirement.

The first 2 tracks are fine, kinda fun even, but the third track is a mess, then... ♥♥♥♥ the last 2. Royal raceway's RNG ramp sucks hard if you flip both laps you're screwed and if you flip one lap you need to be lucky with the other racers crashing. Bowsers castle itself would be fine if the other racers weren't constantly teleporting ahead when they get killed, which if the player dies they just die, back to the countdown.

just a vent cause it's just an RNG fest, and I can't stand RNG fests (in singleplayer / competitive multiplayer)

While I would agree, Wario Stadium felt a bit more frustrating with how bumpy it was and a Hunter scattering the entire course lol, one time I had a physically impossible run as SIX RACERS skipped over half the course at the start due to a hunter, and I had only couple less restarts to get first place on my first playthrough on royal raceway (hunters will scatter the harder racers for johnson to deal with typically, my 1st place completion was with infection forms and Grunts in 2nd and 3rd respectively)

I never had that happen, both Wario Stadium and Royal raceway were 2nd tries for me so I was kinda lucky, Bowsers castle on the other hand had a good 5 or so retries.

My first attempt at Wario had everyone crash at the first set of bumps, including myself on a stray hog, and then like 3 or 4 racers managed to avoid the crash got too far ahead to catch up to, so maybe that kinda BS is more common than I thought.

My first attempt at Royal Raceway had both ramps flip forward where on the first flip I knew it was lost but wanted to try another shot at the ramp which also flipped, on my next run the first one flipped forward but I managed to claw back into the top 3 before the second one which tilted back for some reason and I just drove to the end from there, the AI obviously cheat here becasue they never failed the ramp (or atleast their path over the ramp is the one perfect way to do it)

The whole enemies skipping was due to the explosive physics impulse on the hunter's cannon, he shot...i dunno, another racer or the ground in the middle of the pack and everyone went flying.

On royal raceway by the time i reach the ramp there is only ever 1-3 other AI racers there, because again, the freaking hunter sends EVERYONE FLYING, even saw a pair of Elites get flung into the water, it felt more RNG dependant because johnson cant shoot for crap than the ramp personally.

lol.
I only ever had the flood launch anything (that I saw) and mostly they sent me flipping off my car at the start of Boswers Castle

Yeah the novelty of Halo Kart ran out very ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quickly with how often ♥♥♥♥ kept exploding. It's fine as a diversion but don't wall off progress to the actual campaign with it bro

The issue with how CE is laid out is it is impossible to do otherwise, alternatively you can skip the campaign missions thanks to how the MCC works but i got the hang of them quite quickly.

Except when everything explodes 3 seconds in, that....no skill can accomodate. But gets a laugh out of me.

I played Banshee Boardwalk for an hour and a half, having three races where I was blueshelled seconds before the finish line.
I played Royal Raceway for an hour. It was 5 am. I decided to sleep.
Do not. Let Johnson. Have rockets. You will restart.
Do not get in front of the hunters, they will throw you off the track, you will die, you will restart.
Do not get in front of the rocket flood unless it has already crashed, you will die, you will restart.
Do not be within 20 meters of anyone behind you. They will kill you, you will lose, you will restart.
You will restart.
You will restart.
You will restart.
You will restart.

Hard agree. I do like that the maps were ported over and finally made for singleplayer, but between the finicky jumps, the AI targeting you first as opposed to Johnson (where Johnson will always kill the backseater before the driver), the AI getting pickups you can't get such as Blue Shells and Lightning, the teleportation with the enemies in the last map, and the fact that it's right in the middle of the campaign as opposed to the end, it honestly just made me skip them a second time around.

Also, it's unfortunate that a level pack that wasn't even shipped with the Original Cursed Edition got ported to MCC before the multiplayer levels did.

I blew through the first 4 and now I have been doing Royal Raceway for 3 hours and it is driving me insane. I don't understand how you are supposed to take the ramp without flipping. I am a master at the course now except for the ramp. This RNG is really frustrating. Any tips would be appreciated if anyone figured out a way to do this consistently.

Well. Finally beat it. Sheer dumb luck.

♥♥♥♥ THERES ANOTHER ONE???

yeah, sadly "get lucky" is all I could say 'cause that's what I did (and as far as I can tell everyone else)

I hated that one even more

The racing section was so bad that I saved, quit, and started a new mission after the levels. One or two races was fine, but after 2 hours of Royal Raceway I had to stop. I could rarely land the warthog upright over the bridge, Johnson would either be ineffective with any weapon, or cause me to crash when he got the rocket launcher. Enemies don't die and just reset.

The vehicles are exact same speed only allowing for overtaking during crashes at the beginning or minor gains on turns. If you're not in the lead after the first few turns, you cannot get in the lead by any amount of driving.

At one point I thought I was meant to get out of the kart to kill the others, but that didn't work either.
