I dont know what it is but I hate arena....

Yeah same, everytime I play arena, its a horrible experience. Then I'll go play the same gametypes and maps in the Team Slayer playlist and its fun haha. I dunno...with how hard they made it to get assists in this game, it kind of hinders the arena formula. The best part of the formula is that assists are worth as much as a kill, but now they decided to make it impossible to record assists in this game, so the arena rating turns into trying not to die, aka camping/playing ultra conservative.

Two Words.

Camping.... and Try Hards.

I guess that's more than two

If anyone gets a random friend request from RollinWithAU, that's me.

I'm trying to build up a friends list so I have some people to play with when my buddies aren't online. It's only fun if you're playing with people you know.

I agree with this 100%. Especially for Halo. Halo gets boring after a few games when you play by yourself.

Anyone want to play in like 10 minutes? I'm rusty as hell, been playing too much 2K11.

Re: Halo: Reach

Just played on Cliffhanger.... that map is alright...

Honestly, what is with Bungie and bases.....

I'll see if I can play Atom and see how that goes.

Re: Halo: Reach

Some maps would play better without the jetpack or radar, and Cliffhanger is one those maps. It's playable, unlike The Cage. Way better Forge maps out there though.

I like The Cage xD But I agree, Cliffhanger is nowhere near as good as some maps. I could make this map easily.

Re: Halo: Reach

Looking for some achievement tips guys. I cannot get "Two corpses in one grave" and "If they came to hear me beg" even though I think I am doing what the achievement asks of me.

If they came to hear me beg is a difficult one. I tried to do it for over an hour and still didn't get it. Youtube video on how to do it is in spoiler tags.

You can do "If they came to hear me bag on the beginning of the last mission.

Watch this video, it helped me out a lot.

As for the Target locator one, you gotta set the zone just as you see the Wraiths, otherwise the Wraith's will just go right through it.

Hmmm this has been what I've been doing, not sure why I'm not getting it. Really not sure why I'm not getting the wraith one, because I've destroyed both wraiths many times with the airstrike, but I just don't get the acheivement.

I've tried to join you a few times, my gamertag is "x Mamba81 x." Send me an invite next time we are both online. That goes for anyone else in this thread that plays as well!

Bungie Weekly Update

The run up to launch provided us with a wealth of rich and exciting news to cover, but as time marches on between this, that, and the next thing, it’s simply inevitable that we'll have to slow this train from time to time and chug into some weeks where we don't have tons of hot news to unload on you.

This is one of those weeks.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty of coal being shoveled into the studio engine this week. The Noble Map Pack has been powering through the requisite polish and bug fixing phases and the team is ultra close to sealing the deal and shipping the new maps out the door. Right now, we’re prepping a trailer and small batch of multimedia aimed at getting you acclimated to the new spaces before you're forced to fight for purchase. The trailer is scheduled to arrive early next week. (Like really early next week if all goes to plan.)

On the playlist front, we’re currently testing out some totally radar-less Arena action. Aside from the obvious impact this will have on the playlist as a whole, it will also sound the death knell for the Active Camo Armor Ability in this particular playlist format, as there’s literally no downside to getting your cloak on when radar isn’t in play.

If all goes to plan, expect to see this change hit the Arena at the beginning of next month, just in time for Season Numero 3. We’ll supply you with some more fleshed out bullet points as the November playlist update becomes more and more solidified in the days ahead. As with all early news, details are always subject to change.

And we’re off! As of right now, the front page has been updated to display your current community Challenge progress. Keep on keepin’ on and the carnage will automatically update until we blow the top off, unlocking access to new ranks and armor.

1. Regarding 'came to beg' achievement, you have to make sure and disable the sprint armor ability in mid-air or else the assassination won't count towards the achievement.
2. Regarding ' two wraiths' achievement, you have to kill them both with one airstrike, basically I just aimed the locator in area between them and they drove into the marked area and both were killed with the single airstrike.
