I hear that. Campaign doesn't have much replayability, as unfortunate as it is. One 6 hour playthrough on legendary felt like more than enough. With me, now it's just firefight and multiplayer.. Multiplayer's still pretty fun. Doing a little mini tourney with a friend of mine, it's a blast
The only reason I keep playing Campaign every now and then is to work on my commendations...but that's gonna slow soon; almost got most of the ones that matter to at least gold. You should really get more credits for playing Campaign. I don't get why you don't, since you can't modify the gameplay variables like you can in FF Customs. Instead I have to hop into co-op MM if I want to go above the 100cR cap for game complete.
Also, the 1 Set FF matches take FOREVER when it's just you and some other person. Well, regular variants anyway. I've only played Rocket/Sniper Fight with 3+ people. The 1 Set FF variants make people quitting hurt all the more. I don't think the game scales back down either (in difficultly) to account for the now MIA douche bag "spartan"(s) either.
Korn, you do realize that you aren't even getting credits for Silver+ commendations, right? Why not wait to grind out those commendations when you actually get credits for it?
But anyway, this campaign is pretty weak and not that fun. It has good, adequate levels (and a few duds as in every Halo game), but nothing great. And as I said before, Heroic can be too punishing/frustrating (both in Campaign and FF), and Normal is too boring to even have a consistently fun difficulty to play at. It's easily the weakest campaign in the series.
(I'd rather play Reach than Halo 2, because Halo 2 feels like crap, but Halo 2 definitely has a well-designed campaign.)
Well that explains a lot. They still give you the commendation kicker when you gain a new level though...when the hell are they going to remove that fucking lame commendation capper? They should have just done it for the commendations which are actually easily farmed with that's what they're getting their goddamn panties in a bunch over.
Rank cap...fine, in the end I still get the rank due to my cRs still counting. But no cRs for silver+ commendations period (except when you hit a new level) is just wrong. Especially if they're not talking about why/when/how/etc about it. Yep, let's release a game then take all our 'oshi-' moments and cap them like a leaky dam! [/iMad].
I haven't seen any talk about the silver+ capping in any BWUs (only rank). I remember Limited briefly mentioning it...but I thought he meant the kickers didn't pay out. So basically they're keeping hush hush, so I get to play ignorant baboon end-user and call the player investment team "pussy asshole farts". Queef them.
I like Countdown. It could be my favorite map.
I don't know if anyone's ever played it, but non-moving KOTH on Countdown with hologram loadouts is the funniest shit I've played in Reach. I had a party of 12 people playing, and it was insane.
Holograms in general are funny.
BTB Snipers with holograms is extremely entertaining.
I really wish that we would get a medal if someone kills/destroys your hologram. Would be just as satisfying as getting a Rejection medal IMO.

And apparently that doesn't even work, according to some guys at HBO.Quote:
I stopped earning progress towards Campaign Commendations
You can earn up to the Silver level of Campaign Commendations outside of matchmaking. After that, you will need to play Campaign in matchmaking to make any further progress.
EDIT: And stop voting for Hemmorage Slayer, you jackasses!
I can vouch for this, I stopped getting credits kills leading to the next commendation when I was doing my legendary run, since then i barely get even 200 points for a entire level on heroic.Quote:

And they need to word that better. You can continue to earn past it...just the work done b/w each level gives you nada cR.
Why isn't this on bungie's website? Or hell, a MOTD in the game? Fuck Waypoint. They haven't fully taken over Halo yet.
I've actually posted a topic in hopes of getting at least one staff member to give some clarification.Quote:

What is this 100 cR cap for Campaign? I've been earning in excess of 2000 cR for a finished Legendary level with scoring turned on and yes, I am plugged into Live (just have no Gold sub).
E: Am I the only one finding Reach to be more difficult on Heroic than on Legendary?
In short, once you hit silver for your commendations for certain actions, you no longer gain credits for advancing those commendations.Quote:

I enjoyed those too, in an 'overcoming ridiculous odds' sort of way.
And I loved ODST's campaign. The hub was too cramped, repetitive and lacking in enemies, but I had a lot of fun with it in the right mindset. Besides, you can just select any mission from the level select if you don't want to mess around in the hub. I loved all of the missions, as simplistic as some of them were. Not to mention, ODST had a better story and better-developed characters in a rushed expansion pack than Reach had a full-length release developed over three years.
Bungie have finally put up the thermometer, its pretty crap though.
http://www.bungie.net/default.aspx
Doesnt say current amount, we can only guess from it, also doesnt look dynamic, i.e. Bungie will upload the picture every so often, with the set amount drawn out in pixels.
I call BS on the meter.
From top to very bottom (inc bulb) its 463 pixels high.
So far 114 pixels have been filled.
114 / 463 * 100 = 24.62%, of the meter filled in percentage.
24.62% of 117 million, is 28.80 million.
So according to my dodgy mathematics, we have 88.2 million challenges to complete.
Game has been out for just over a month, so we've completed 28 million challenges in a month, it would over 3 months total to reach that.
I understand the thermometer isn't going to be exactly accurate, yet either we are miles away or it is completely off, either way its not going us much hope.

Quote:
The bulb at the bottom is filled with millions of challenges and whatnot. I'd get good up to date numbers but rocketmoose is on vacation. :(
Then Bungie are complete idiots, the bulb is always full in thermometers, you only gauge from just above the bulb line because heat causes the liquid to expand, lifting it up in the thin pipe.
Yeah, the thermometer is useless. Considering ~21M challenges were completed in the first week, I'd assume we're a bit farther than 29M a month after that.
I bet you, if every player didn't get a single challenge from now on, the cap would still be lifted. Coincidentally when either Black Ops or the Noble DLC map pack is released.
Or the week before, they will turn around and say "Hey, we noticed a miscalculation in the challengeometer, so we'll remove the cap today!".
I'd love to think there is no shady tactics going on with the cap removal, but I really can't believe it.
http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/ga...er=DarkHalo003
Not Trollin'. I got an Untouchable and Be The Bullet in this game.
If you can get paired up right with the bad kids on the opposite team then yeah you can get Be the Bullet and Untouchable easier since its up to 100.
It also helped that it was on Hemorrhage with a respawning sniper while I controlled a Territory Sniper versus a bunch of Elites. They also weren't stupid, but they were easy targets, especially when my team kept them from spawning anywhere but their base and the rocks.Quote:

I also love dying instantly on the first part of Delta Halo when shot in the foot by a beam rifle wielded by a Jackal who I can't shoot because his Elite and Grunt buddies are too busy pounding the snot out of me with their 20 round per second guns. I've never gotten past that second part, by the way. I don't know how you get off enjoying the Halo 2 Legendary, because it had to be the most bullshit campaign I've ever played in any game. Even the bullshit of Reach's Heroic difficulty is more fun than that.Quote:

I did say, "most" of those scenarios were fun. The only thing really bullshit-y about Halo 2 on Legendary was the jackal snipers. The Cairo station hangar was hard, but ultimately satisfying. I'd recommend watching a speedrun of that level to see bad-assery in motion.Quote:

Getting ~30 kills on Hemmorage Slayer as a Spartan isn't hard. And I did that in a match where our side only got to 81 kills. And two Elites in your match were absolutely terrible. Elites are just huge targets with crappy weapons.Quote:

All I do is win. (Though, my Game History begs to differ ...)
I think I got mine when I got my Unstoppable.
That or I think it might have been on Boneyard.
I've been playing like shit all week so i cheated and got it in multi team oddball on zealot. But then after that game I started playing normally again and was able to own everyone in btb. Fucking challenge jinxed me
I almost got Like Mike (which I got it eventually) on Invasion Boneyard when I was defending the core and a banshee got close so I accidentally killed one of my team mates with the scorpion tank (he mad I took it anyways) and I was 29/30 and I was about to shoot the guy in-front of me and it said I got kicked, I raged. But I got it a few games later.
If you think about the challenge too much then you're more than likely going to screw up. Just play as normal (like the challenge doesn't even exist!) and you should get it naturally (assuming you have some skill of course)
I haven't even bothered going for it.
This x10000000 credits. I normally get around 30 kills in Invasion anyways, but trying to get this challenge purposely messed me up until Friday, when I stopped playing for the challenge and played for fun.Quote:

How is the challenge meter magically jumping by about 5 million challenges per day? Either their scale is horrendously off or they are truly counting down to the Black Ops release date.
Somewhere in COL-G2. Since Reach is the only video game I play right now, I can work on my commendations which really help you rank up. Well expect when it comes to Campaign. Since whatever assholes at MS and/or Bungie decided to stop making commendations in Silver+ give you cR (you still get cR when reaching a new level). The same shit happens in matchmaking co-op too, gives you jack shit. Fuck you too.Quote:

So, to give an example, say my Walking Tank is at the Gold level. I earn jack diddly shit for my double, triple, etc kills, unless the "point" I just earned made me level up to Onyx, then I'd get like 4K cR (give or take 1K) as a kicker for leveling up.
However, my Cannon Fodder may be Bronze, so I'll still earn cR for killing grunts (on top of leveling up). So if I kill 2 grunts and earn a double-kill, I'd only get 2+2 cR since, like I said, my Walking Tank is already at Gold and thus not ponying out any fucking cR.
A bit like my commendations for campaign.Quote:

This raises a question actually.
Doe's anyone know if this limit is purely campaign or doe's it effect the other game types as well?
I'm at bronze for most of the multiplayer stuff so I can't tell but if the same thing is true for both campaign and match making, I'm wondering how exactly we are expected to get upto some of the higher ranks if there is no credits left once maxing everything else out?
Whichever the case, game completion credits in matchmaking scale to your rank to accomodate the lack of credits you get when you advnace your commendations. When Reach first came out I got most of my credits from commendations, and averaged around 1000 cR per game. Now at max rank I still average at 1000 cR, but 800 or so of that is from game completion.
It's only an issue with campaign. You're supposed to be able to get the credits in the Campaign matchmaking playlist (according the latest version of the Reach Support FAQ), but supposedly that's broken too.Quote:

I'm not sure what annoys me more: skrimishers magically headshotting me with a needle rifle or the absolute bullshit that MS/Bungie has been surrounding the cR system with.
I've earned the same cR per commendation "point" in matchmaking games for every level I've been, so the Game Completion isn't scaling to that, if at all.
See, this is what H2 Legendary detractors don't understand. Halo 2's Legendary was punishingly difficult, so much so that overcoming any given encounter felt like a serious accomplishment.Quote:

Yeah, I never understood why we got the skulls we got. They seem so arbitrary. Especially the non-score multiplier skulls. It seems like they could have come up with dozens of those, yet we got 4 and have had the same 4 for 3 games now. Same with the armor effects. It seems like the possibilities for those would be limitless, yet they are extremely limited.

Damn it, I won't be able to do the weekly challenge since I'm away for the week :( Seems pretty easy though...
Damn that trailer was sick, loved the music. I feel in Tempest, if you don't have a vehicle your going to get mauled.
1000 in a week? Might be able to get it. Biggest MP booster I've seen is T U R K, 2190 kD ratio. He's played so much, that his butt buddy, that has 0 kills, is warrant officer.
I don't see how Bungie doesn't have a way to monitor/punish that sort of behaviour. I know you could get a week-long exp ban in Halo 3 for boosting like that.
It's still a rule, and I have no idea why they aren't banning people. They do say "if you actually play the game we aren't worried, we are more concerned with people with automated systems".
The FF and Campaign like boosting, they said is legit and they arent too worried (they did the silver cap to stop campaign boosting). I personally feel the MP commendations are the important ones, and the ones that have integrity. People party boosting them is destroying the integrity that that MP commendations has.
Well, they haven't exactly updated the ban rules for Reach's cR/commendation system (AFAIK, that one "group" bullet point has been there since Halo 3's EXP). Really, they could just limit the party sizes to be a team's worth if they were that worried about people cR/commendation boosting.
Of course, as a end-user, they didn't Hit 'A' to any sort of agreement saying they wouldn't do this kind of boosting, nor has there been any MOTD texts (that I've seen)...so there's nothing they can do if they're not using an automated system (they're playing within the constraints of the game), unless they want to chance someone raising a law suit.
Fuck boosting and fuck the boosters. I say, let 'em do their thing unhindered so they'll get bored with their unearned, meaningless rank faster and go back to boosting MW2.
Some of it was, no doubt. Still, some of those situations were so fucked up that I was forced to use unconventional tactics, which can be very enjoyable as well. The best example I can think of off the top of my head was the final Flood vs. honor guard Brutes on High Charity. That encounter was so retardedly impossible that I actually had to get through it by camping in the little tunnels where the Flood spawn. If the situation hadn't been designed badly, I would never even know about that strategy. To clear Halo 2 on Legendary, I actually had to learn and understand the game on an uncommon level.Quote:

How the hell are you expected to ward off big purple dinosaurs from coming into your shipyard and stealing your data corez when there's only 4 or less of you and 6 of them rolling around tossing sticky spiders at your face?
Be damned if you quit, because that then goes against you. Be damned if you continue to play because the numbers are against you. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Goddammit.
Maybe some kind of team forfeit, where you and whatever members who are even still around vote to end the match due to such a low team member ratio? This could of course be abused like so many other game elements are with each release but it's a place to start thinking "how can we fix this?". Quit bans may work on the individual level, but there's no 'I' in team. Quit bans are a reactive system. Games like Reach need a proactive system.
Or, fuck me, here's an idea: add game servers! [/UMAD gamer]
Or instead of wee little 30 minute bans Bungie should authorize full 24 hour bans (after like the 10th quit of course). However, keep in mind that people lag out too. I range from terrible to excellent connectivity (Firefight's smoothness still puzzles me) so I never know when I'll just randomly disconnect from XBL. My Bandwidth is what's shitty, so there's little I as a 17 year old can do in this situation (I'm not uploading Youtube and the only people at home besides me are parents).
But that isn't to say I approve of quitting. I hate it more than DMR starts and double meleeing in non-Invasion games combined. It happens a LOT too. Usually I'll only have 4/9 games that have no quitting involved. It really kind of pisses me off.
This is one of the weirdest glitches I've seen: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/Fi...er=LiveWire003

May be. I'm seriously fine on any of the other Halo games on any difficulty, it's just Halo 2's Legendary that gives me trouble. Perhaps it's because I don't really play multiplayer because I don't have a Gold account, and thus don't get in as much practise as I should. I'm not the world's finest Halo player to any degree, but I do usually finish multiplayer games (when I do get to play them) within the top five players normally, and within the top three more often than most. Is there some trick to Halo 2's Legendary that I'm missing?Quote:

I actually own the paperback Prima guide for Halo 2, and it does help. However, if I have to memorize spawn locations, timings, and in general just get lucky to beat it, it's broken. I should be able to observe a situation, calculate a plan, and execute it within a reasonable number of tries.
