Halo: Reach

Re: Halo: Reach

Call of Duty has mid-game joining, so it's hard to have lopsided teams in terms of numbers, but you run into the problem of being put on teams that are poor or losing badly.

Bingo. That's the reason you don't have it in the Call of Duty franchise - they allow people in and out of games mid game so you never have to worry. I actually hated joining a game losing 7000-3500 more than I hated my team quitting in Halo.

Re: Halo: Reach

Part of me hates it more when a guy doesn't quit and just sits there, dieing and then respawning.

If 2 people quit during a 4v4 the game should automatically end in a draw in my opinion. It's getting ridiculous. That and no more guest in matchmaking! It's stupid!

yeah I wish they would bring back regular matchmaking and social matchmaking. Obviously, only guests would be allowed in social games. I don't think the Arena has enough players daily for it to be considered a true equal of the ranked playlists from Halo 2 and 3.

It really doesn't. There are many people out there who still don't understand the way the arena is set up and are playing social games without knowing it. I like voting on what maps are played, but I enjoy the arena more. There's a bigger map variety (even if it's usually Slayer DMRs). In the social lobby, I play the same map two or three times in a row ,on a regular basis.

Re: Halo: Reach

I am in love with the multiplayer. I am liking regular slayer alot, team objective is great and firefight is my favorite of the bunch.

Me and Dave got in a couple games last night. This game is truly a blast to play.

Only thing that I hate is the constant bunny hopping all the guys do. I don't mind it being hard to bring someone down. But I HATE when guys do these cheap tactics. It looks ******** also. Either strafe, take cover, or anything else but QUIT BUNNY HOPPING!!

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

The constant jumping in Halo is like the people who always go prone and pop back up in COD. It's annoying, but its there to stay.

Lol, Daily Challenges are not hard to get. I just hop on a little each day and complete them.

Also anyone up to get on tonight?

Sorry I couldn't hang around more. I'm finally getting over being sick today but I wasn't myself last night. I actually enjoyed firefight and the last CTF game we ran was fun.

I'm sorry for being ignorant but how does arena work?

Arena is the ranked playlist for Reach. Instead of reaching a certain number via TrueSkill, the way it was in Halo 2 and 3, you play a certain number of matches to earn a rating. Once you play enough matches where you earn a rating, you're placed in a division (Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Onyx). Each season lasts one month, and when it's over you must qualify all over again.

The bunny hopping has been there since day one. Nothing you can do about it but shoot the damn bastards.
