Weekend Discussion - April 16, 2023

Hey Shacknews, it's time for Weekend Discussion. Let's officially close out our weekend! Please take a look.

Is Halo 2's Legendary difficulty broken?

It's a question I asked myself when I played it back in 2004 and it's stayed with me ever since. I grew to love the outlandish challenge. There was something hilarious about just how difficult it was compared to Legendary in Halo: Combat Evolved. The Jackal Snipers will haunt my dreams forever.

Jake is so cool, man. I love his jovial nature. 

Remember Destiny? You know, the first Destiny game?

This person has gone back to check out Destiny on the Xbox 360. What a trip!

And now... Other Stuff From The Internet!

Do you recognize the tune?

Hope it wasn't just me, but the music at the beginning of the newest trailer sounds awfully familiar... do you hear it, too? #TearsoftheKingdom pic.twitter.com/v0I6p1WspS

I wonder if there's a special meaning.
