Halo: Reach

Re: Halo: Reach

I refuse to buy Halo: Reach

Are you wondering my reasoning? Well I have a great reason: the game is simply too good. I get stuck in the "Halo Cycle", which is as follows.

Win: Yes I won! I can't turn it off I gotta keep the streak alive!
Loss: WTF man I lost! I ain't no chump I ain't going out like that! Another game here I come...

Literally consumes my entire life

Have fun

Haha understandable. Yesterday afternoon I good to the height of frustration with the game, told myself I was going to take a few days off the multiplayer, next thing I know I'm playing again two hours later.

So first campaign play through was heroic solo of course, but I'm working on my legendary solo right now, and this is the first Halo game that I can say is actually enjoyable on legendary, it doesn't feel like I'm being cheated, the enemy is just really good, and really smart. The only thing that irks me a little bit is that the shields of the elites are ridiculously strong on legendary.

How, and about Bungie's stat tracking, after I sign off from playing, the first thing I do is get on bnet and look over the games I played. Every time. It's that good.

Re: Halo: Reach

Officially sick of two things. Infection and people quitting any team game. I was 8 on 1 earlier in a BTB. That was fun, let me tell you. With 3 mins left, it was actually the first game I've ever quit out of.

Oh, and another thing, with BTB, spawn camping is sickening. Died 7 straight times before I took 3 steps earlier. We lost 75-8. Ugh, not fun.

Think I need a break for a few days, just frustrated with online now.

some spawns need to be fixed in BTB Slayer. Last night on Paradiso, BTB Elite Slayer, the other team had all the vehicles and trapped us in our base. Die, spawn, get shot by banshee. Fun times.

Same, It's unfun to be alone on a team and its unfun to play on the larger side of an 8 v 2 battle. I've voiced my displeasure with Infection already many times. Really can't wait for it to become a weekend only thing or get its own playlist. Still upset it won't happen in the next playlist update.

I did the same thing for that challenge. weird thoguh I got all of the challenges but one that day and I don't know what any of them were besides that one.

Plasma Pistol. This saved my life soooo many times in the campaign when I did it on Legendary. Use it, take out their shields, and then use your secondary and just keep shooting them.

Re: Halo: Reach

The freaking...betrayal/booting system is so hard to grasp.

One game, I get shot point-blank with a rocket by my teammate when there is no one else around and I don't get a chance to boot him.

The next game, I throw a plasma grenade and my teammate walks in front of it...and then I get booted.

Freaking stupid.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense, I just learn to accept betrayals in certain gametypes, like Firefight especially RocketFights, it's bound that everyone would kill each other at least once by accident.

They gave me the opportuity to boot someone in rocketfight when my jetpack ran out and I landed inthe middle of the enemies. Didn't boot the guy becasue I'm pretty sure it wasn't on purpose. However the guy throwing grenades inthe room where we start out doesn't give me that choice.

Re: Halo: Reach

I heard they are turning off friendly fire in Firefight. Which is a good thing. I was doing Rocketfight last night and just shot a rocket into a group of enemies, which had my team mate in the pile. Next thing I know... I'm booted...

I also just bought the Grunt's Birthday Armor Effect.... LOVE IT!

The betrayal system is changing back to the one that was used in Halo 3 in next weeks update.

Thats stupid. Now they can betray you twice and as long as they dont kill ya a third time they wont be booted.

I cant count how many times I have been betrayed when I pick up an weapon that someone wants or get into a vehicle someone wants in Halo 3.

Re: Halo: Reach

I'm glad they are changing it. Last night I'm going to town and am leading my team in points and kills when my moron of a teammate rushes into a freshly dropped off squad trying to melee people.

He get's blown up along with 4-5 bad guys and I get booted.
