There's a skull called "famine". When you activate it, all weapons picked up have a fraction of a full clip. That sucks badly.


Tips for ammo ...
If you can't find weapons, take your backup's gun.
If you see a downed plane, of course, run around.
Look for green pods stuck in the ground, those have guns in them.

Before you grab ammo, load your clip first. This way, you'll be picking up the maximum you can carry.



what stage are you on? Some levels are built not to have more than 1 clip's worth. (especially for the spartan laser, sniper, and rocket launcher)




I forgot the name of the gun (the alien one that you can charge up, generates a big green ball) ... but I've been using that quite a bit lately.

I'll charge the gun, get close, lock in, and either chuck grenades or punch right away.
