Halo: Reach Discussion

Ha ha, he said "these guys are Spartan II's" and then he said that they weren't as advanced as the Master Chief...

I think he said it as "these guys are Spartans too...but they're not as advanced as the Master Chief".

Wow, looks like they addressed just about all my complaints about Firefight. Black Eye? Catch? You two have been shitcanned because now I can shitcan you. And hey, we haven't seen anything about Drones, have we? That helps, too.

[Kornman00]

Drones are still there, at least, from what the public beta game data says (they're part of a wave of elites and such). Only time will tell if they stuck. However, he said you can choose what enemies are in what waves IIRC so even still, sans drones FF!

I want multiplayer space battle MODES

[ODX]

I doubt they made, and tested all the mechanics needed for the space battles just so it could be one level/part in the campaign. Hopefully it is in Multiplayer or else everyone will probably bitch about it too.

Firefight 2.0

[Arteen]

I always liked drones in Halo 2, but hated how they were done in Halo 3, where they were just a dumb swarm of weak, annoying bugs. If they are like the Halo 2 drones, then they should still be fun.

the increased clip size is because of ONE kid bitching enough to Bungie to change the clip size because a small clip eliminates the skill gap

You mad? Maybe it's because the NR and DMR desperately needed a larger clip size? Now they are more in line with the BR and pistol, which could at least take out three players if you had perfect accuracy. Not every setting Bungie had in the game was absolutely perfect and should not be tainted by the will of commoners.

as for firefight, looks cool, but if we have a say in what spawns i can see people jsut having grunts spawn to get any FF based achievements

I'm not sure where you're getting the 'child' part from. I read that guys post and 3 pages of replies. He posted a well thought out, carefully phrased argument that makes a lot of sense. In fact, it pins down pretty well one of the reasons why I hated the reach beta so much. Most matches I would just sprint around like crazy double meleeing people because once I shot one person, another guy would always come out of nowhere and I didn't have enough ammo left to kill him without reloading.

I expect any FF achievements will be tied to preset gametypes.
