Halo: Reach Discussion

[t3h m00kz]

they fixed latency issues. if you shoot someone, hit registers, regardless of lag. this is why two people can kill each other at the same time. I like it better that way, it's more fair than that whoever has the better connection bullshit

Compare a game of Shotguns in Reach to Halo 3. You'll see serious host advantage in 3, not in Reach

Fucking booting people because of accidental betrayals is completely stupid. I think anyone with an IQ above 80 should be able to figure out whether or not it's not purpose. And yet, somehow, when I'm in a Wraith, I boost, and some child drops down from the overhead platform into my path, killing himself basically, said child is going to boot me out of the game for that?

What the fuck?

Sigh. At least I got those multikill challenges done. So I win.

"anyone with an IQ above 80"

so, >0.3% of all XBL users who play Reach?

I love SWAT and Snipers. Snipers, if everyone has it, then it levels the playing field. Dont give me any BS about latency in SWAT either, I play against mostly Americans by the sound of their accents, and I have no issues kicking ass.

Snipers is okay, but SWAT is annoying as hell. I'm mediocre at Reach's (was great at Halo 3's), but it being mixed in with the normal Team Slayer playlist is a little much. I'll reserve my further comments on SWAT for when it actually obtains its own playlist though.

Ugh, thanks for killing my exaggeration. fff

Shishka is no longer a bungie employee...

This shit was brought up earlier and no one provided any backing to this claim. Where was it ever said from the horses' mouth that Shiska left/was let go?

[ejburke]

His b.net forum handle went from gold to the normal gray. And his title was changed to "Exalted Mythic Member" from, presumably, a title that indicated he was a Bungie employee. Unless they caught him skeeting all over the new studio, I doubt he was fired. Maybe he left for 343.

Guys, you are doing it all wrong!

I'm supposed to be the one pointing out the flaws in this game and hating on it!

You're supposed to disagree with me you faggots

Team snipers is worse imo. "You're going after that guy? Let me just strafe in front of you or just stop as you're shooting." Best part is it will headshot the teammate but totally miss the person being aimed at

[Arteen]

Yes. And that's not sarcastic.

Yes, and that's not helpful.

Team Snipers in BTB would be so much better if it didn't last so long. Bungie should just limit it to 50 kills and not 75. There's fun to be had in the gametype, but there's not enough variety in the gametype to keep it interesting up to the end.
