Halo: Reach

Re: Halo: Reach

Is it just me, or is the amount of quitting in this game totally out of control? I finally had a good 2.5 hr chunk of time to play last night, and 9 of the 10 games I played had at one or more people quit. I tried team slayer, team objective, big team, rumble pit... it just didn't seem to matter! Some of the slayer games can REALLY drag when it's 4 people chasing down 1 person just waiting for the time to expire.

Did they remove or tone down the probation system? Hopefully it was just a "bad night" but it was so frustrating I eventually started playing the campaign. I wasn't crazy into Halo 3 online, but I enjoyed it a lot more then Reach thus far. It just seemed more team oriented for trying to rank up.

I think it's just luck of the draw. A couple weeks ago it seemed like a guarantee at least one person would quit in every team slayer/team objective game that I played. My last few sessions online, however, have been much better.

New Ranks & Armor Now Available

To help get you suited up into some hot new gear, we’re introducing huge Credit Jackpots for players who routinely finish their games. Because we love you and we want you to have nice things.

Oh, and we've some "reports" online of a second Rank cap. Those reports are false. You now have access to everything the Armory has to offer, provided you have the Credits.

Anybody know if this is retroactive? Because in all my time with the game I have yet to quit out of a match.

Yes to be able to render films and post them to forums you have to have bungie pro, or you just record them off you xbox then upload them.

Re: Halo: Reach

I bought halo reach today but still haven't played because I also bought black ops today. Anyways my question is, was halo reach a waste of money? Because 3 of my buddies, who don't know each other I might add, all said it was. I bought it used so I'm good but still want to know, was it smart to get reach or a bad move?

Its absolutely worth it. A great game, that is insanely deep. I won't be playing it too much in the very near future because Black Ops just came out, but a map pack comes out on the 30th, so I'll probably get back into it then.

I agree, the campaign was nice, I still love to get a quick game of firefight, and I'll keep it in my rotation because it's a change of pace from Battlefield/CoD. I've enjoyed the multiplayer on this game much more than the other games, the armor abilities really change your playstyle.

Re: Halo: Reach

Not much of an online player, but really enjoying the campaign. Great story, incredible music score. Playing through on Heroic then will try Legendary. Awesome game

Re: Halo: Reach

it's a good move IMO. it's really fun and addicting because of the daily challenges and all the customization. i haven't been putting enough time into it lately though, been distracted by new games (nba 2k11 and i'm assuming black ops)

in the future once the new games get old i'll be playing it a lot more.

hehe, thats exactly whats going on with me. since i got 2k11, thats all i have been playing. but i agree. reach is pound for pound, probably the best game u can buy for the 360. in terms of how many hours u can get out of it (replay value)

Re: Halo: Reach

Loved the campaign and the online is very cool as well, but did anyone else enjoy Halo 3's multiplayer more? I thought the powers like armor shield and jet pack were cool, but it seems like its been an utter cheese fest with those powers lately. Also, I think I liked the maps in 3 better.
