Halo: Reach Discussion

[Warsaw]

Well, I managed to luck out on a CTF game in Hemorrhage. There was massive tank spawn camping, but it would flip to us getting a tank and returning the favour. Basically, we had a tank for five, then they had a tank for five, etc., etc. I managed to avoid getting shot by always staying generally beside or behind the tank, picking off his infantry support and not placing traceable shots (needle rifle, rocket, sniper, etc.) through the tank's field of vision. I then got in a Ghost and splattered red team all over the ground.

Reach multiplayer is almost as bad in MW2.

Any objective or slayer game on Hemorrhage is camping with the tank.

Slayer on Paradisio is banshees and tanks.

Infection still sucks, but it's 10x better than Halo 3. In Halo 3 Bungie didn't know what the fuck. They still don't know what the fuck, but it doesn't make me cry in pain every time I play it.

Oddball is possibly the second biggest fuckup, next to Hemorrhage. With the drop shield loadout all everyone does is grab the ball and shield themselves, so the only way to kill them is to beat them down. Only problem is that it's a one hit beatdown for them.

I only played two objective games in Big Team since I got the game. All everyone ever chooses is slayer. Always. I want CTF, territories, headhunter, king, and oddball (not gay version please).

They really could learn how to make good gametypes if they just released a dedicated server for custom games and a server list. Maybe we'll get lucky with Reach PC :|

I don't know how the fucktard in charge of the playlists still even has a job at Bungie. That stupid piece of shit should have been sacked since Halo 3.

Nah, people chose other game types, just got to have a full team so you can swing majority if they decide to go for something "unfun".

Shishka was the guy in charge of playlists in H3, but he quit/gotfired a couple months before reach came out and now its back to the guy who was in charge in H2.
I agree, but I don't play anything besides invasion and firefight enough to care

uh,

source?

The problem is my friends I always play with want to be the ones in the tank. :|

Also they can't stand my complaining about what is in their opinion the ~best game ever made~

[t3h m00kz]

Vehicles are much weaker in this game... 5 sniper shots blow up a banshee, 4 take out a mongoose I think.

You can cap the top of the tank off and shoot the guy inside... I like it. alot.

Not that stupid ass OMG U NEED MISSILE PODS OR LAZR in Halo 3

Weapons also seem to spawn alot faster... feels more like it actually rewards you for knowing how to use weapons, rather than controlling the map.

Pretty much the same here, I also need to dick around with my player profile thing because I am getting 12 year olds that love the "legit" gametypes like Team Snipers.

I actually had a lot of fun in Team Sniper BTB. So chaotic, so amusing. Maybe I'm just strange.

I love it how MLG is crying over how bad the game is, apparently a DMR isn't pro enough for them, they prefer autoaim enraged BR's.

I cant believe I like this game so much, my friends are saying its an insanely slow game, I find it to be alot faster than any other halo ive ever played.

Just to clarify some things...

This game has a lot of problems. I fucking hate the current multiplayer lineup, which is the biggest issue for me at the moment. There's other smaller things such as how you can't do online co-op without a HDD (not even with the new 4GB Xbox 360 S), how you get quit banned for quitting a FFA game or solo Score Attack, the lack of ammo in the pistol, and how killing sprees reset after host migration. My general disappointment in campaign is another story, but it's "good enough."

But overall, I like the weapon set, I like armor abilities, I love firefight, and I think they did a really good job developing the game. As I listed above, there's many, many issues plaguing the game, but I don't think it's as shitty of a game as MW2. As I mentioned in another post, as of now my rating for this game is a 4/10 because of how crippled MP is. If they actually make it enjoyable, I'd put it right back at 7/10.

I guess.....Halo 1>Halo 3>Halo 2>Halo Reach. I haven't beat the game yet but I'm close to it. All the Friendly A.Is are retarded, I am impressed with the enemy AIs, and a few things still seemed like they need to be polished. Which is why they should release this game with a good editing kit or give Halo PC owners access with this engine (like UDK or Crytek). I highly doubt that will happen though, and that's not even close to a good excuse.
