Halo: Reach Discussion

[Pooky]

Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about Campaign.

Then play against real people if you want an actual challenge.

That would involve getting paired up with decent players.

[Kornman00]

, how about you guys just agree to disagree?

[Arteen]

See, this is what H2 Legendary detractors don't understand. Halo 2's Legendary was punishingly difficult, so much so that overcoming any given encounter felt like a serious accomplishment.

Even so, I'd still call some of that poor game design. I'd rather they just get more creative with the skulls to cater to players who want hyper-punishing gameplay. e.g:
High Velocity - All enemy projectiles move at 1.5x speed.
Absolute - Player is vulnerable to headshots and enemy melees do massive damage.
Nuclear - Enemy explosives cause lethal damage.
Moving Target - Enemies have eagle-eyed vision and sharp hearing.

So basically Reach on Heroic?

[Arteen]

Yep. I'd love it if those were skulls I could just turn on/off. Heck, the premise of most of the skulls is in the satisfaction overcoming poor gameplay design.

Yeah, I never understood why we got the skulls we got. They seem so arbitrary. Especially the non-score multiplier skulls. It seems like they could have come up with dozens of those, yet we got 4 and have had the same 4 for 3 games now. Same with the armor effects. It seems like the possibilities for those would be limitless, yet they are extremely limited.

Sorry but the double melee tard to actual good people ratio is a bit off balanced right now.

Give a few months and Reach will probably settle down with the aforementioned people.

Biggest booster I've seen yet (80% commendations complete...21 onyx). Him and some clan butt buddy of his.

Kill 1000 enemies in multiplayer? Shit.
