Halo: Reach Discussion

[Spartan094]

Meh, I felt off today in MM because I was sucking badly for a Lt. Colonel thou I won some of those games. I blame the head ache.

Also I got Wake Up, Buttercup, yay 49/49 achievements.

I am just not feeling Reach today. I'll play it tomorrow but I spent my time today in Red Dead Redemption. Gotta get ready for Undead Nightmare.

Reached Lt. Colonel grade 1 today. Probably going to shoot to Colonel or higher when the cap lifts in a month or two

[DarkHalo003]

I had a 15 game winning streak. How am I still breathing?

[Kornman00]

I'm almost a Colonel

[ejburke]

If I ever make it to Colonel, I'm going to wear white armor and change my emblem to a chicken. I'll be the worst player to ever make that rank, but I can claim it's because my fingers are covered in delicious transfat.

*steals ejburke's idea*

I'm only a grade 1 Commander.
It feels like I've earned a lot more credits though.

@Pooky: Why? Just because you happen to die half of the time from some things and ragepost half of your posts doesn't mean it's a gameplay flaw.

I can't really recall any intelligent rebuttal from you on any given point, just 'stop criticizing my video games, it hurts my feelings '

A gameplay flaw is when frag grenades kill you in one throw and having a starting weapon can rule the entire game. As cool as the DMR is, I would much prefer AR starts thank you very much.

What's that? You're posting your opinion on the gameplay? Just stop dying you bad kid and it wouldn't be a problem.

Obviously.

Not in the PC version at least

probably a networking thing

E: Actually, I've noticed times where people will be shooting me and I'll zoom out, though I've taken no damage. Yet, it's possible to take damage and not zoom out. I'm willing to bet if you shoot someone straight on (not leading) in Halo PC while they're zoomed in, it'll make them zoom out.

It's most definitely still there, but does get pretty inconsistent over the internet.

Also, collision on the Reach models is no bigger than it was in Halo 1. If anything it's the auto aim. Compare the collision when betraying. No easier to betray someone in reach than it is in Halo 1.

That depends on if you're comparing Reach to Halo 1X or Halo PC. A controller vs mouse/keyboard comparison isn't even remotely fair.
I'd actually say it's considerably easier to betray people in Reach. I've done it before accidentally with the sniper.

@ pook

Double melee kills are ridiculous; essentially, they're as powerful as the sniper. But, I'm not complaining since I sploit the fuck out of it. Just remember to always have a pistol or a precision weapon with you for the headshot after first contact. I do agree that melees should definitely not be a 2 hit kill, but it's avoidable in most cases.

It doesn't happen to me often because I always have a headshot weapon on me, it's just annoying as fuck when it does. It's basically the game giving a free kill to people for sucking too much to use their guns. Also, it happens a lot more often in small team games where the maps are cramped and blind corners are everywhere.

Maybe it's the area of detection with the bullets, maybe the game is just overall easier to shoot people in... it does feel outragously easier to hit people. but as far as the collision, I guarantee it fits the models nearly perfectly and isn't outrageously extruded. Most you'll get is minor inconsistencies with permutations.
