Halo: Reach Discussion

[MXC]

Just discovered Gruntpocolypse in Score attack. I think I found a new favorite gametype.


Also, this must be how everyone is leveling soo quickly. Bah, it's just an extra; I could play this gametype for days.

Don't be a baby. I think it's a great addition. It also, once again, reaffirms the idea that you can NOT run out and dog your enemies.

"Don't be a baby"? Okay, I'll be a manly man make sure my shields never drop. Ever. And play every difficulty level like it's a war of attrition. Far be it from me to be upset when I die instantly to a projectile that 99% of the time does minor damage. Consistency is nice. It's Halo, not Rainbow 6.

The needle rifle is consistent, you aim for the head on a unshielded enemy you get a head shot.
In the former Halo games if a jackal hit you in the head with a beam rifle they had the same chance of it being a 1SK as you had.

As for that inheritor rank, I am only thankful they didn't follow ensembles footsteps.

you can NOT run out and dog your enemies.

Then it is not halo.

If I were the designer, I wouldn't allow NR headshots from AI (especially because they have the supercombine threat), but there are plenty of other decisions and sources of cheap deaths that irk me more.

By the way, at what point do the Double cR weekends start happening? How many weeks or months in did it happen with Halo 3? I don't really care about rank, but I do want that Lt Colonel achievement.

And I wish Bungie would just come out and tell the people that have hit the cap that it's safe to play. That their commendations aren't going to be wasted. The point of the cap freeze was obviously not to force people to quit playing.

That first phrase was sarcasm. I was joking. My bad for trying that on the internet.

But your assertions are very opinionated to the degree that you're saying that Bungie is a bad designer for their own game series when their ideas don't fit your desires. It's one of my many pet-peeves when it comes to people explaining their opinions. Yes, assertions are good for stand-alone essays, but on a quick-response forum it just makes you look whiny or bratty. We know you're not Arteen, but constant complaining that isn't in the form of a bug report sounds like a constant drone after a while. Besides, Bungie said for the longest time that this game was going to be fairly different than the rest. If you get good enough with the assets available in the game, you very well can go Rambo on all of the enemies on Heroic.

If I play one more game of snipers on anything, i'm going to shoot myself.

[ejburke]

To be fair, the guy that made most of these questionable decisions was a guy they brought in from FASA that worked on a whole bunch of "okay" stuff and never had anything to do with the series before Reach. So it's not like Arteen is second-guessing the guy who made Halo, he's second-guessing the guy who made MechAssault.

Not that Sage isn't a bright guy. These choices might be good choices for any series except Halo. When you start getting into discussions about % chances of things happening, when Halo is the one series that's always said, "Fuck it, if an Elite gets killed, the nearby Grunts will always lose their shit. No dice rolls needed", it feels like some pen-and-paper game and not a Halo game. To me, anyway.

I quit playing because it just isn't fun to play slayer 24/7 anymore.
