Halo: Reach

at first i felt that way too but it seems people have figured out how to use the elites and they were destroying spartans in some games or at least making it very competitive and fun.

I dislike that map though

The quitting in Invasion is getting ridiculous.

Pretty sure I've had three straight matches then ended up 6 on 3. It's ruining any enjoyment the mode might have.

Samething happened to me yesterday. It sucks. Good thing steps will be taken to try and cut down on it.

Yeah, I saw that post and its definitely good that they'll be taking care of it in the final version. If it was like this, I truthfully don't know how consistently I would play the mode. It's fun, but it definitely is not enjoyable at all when you constantly end up with half the guys the other team has and an automatic loss (though I kept one of the 6 on 3 Invasion Slayer matches close with 29 kills).

Re: Halo: Reach

my problem with Invasion is, when you're defending and the Spartans capture the first point, there's no buffer period for your team to set up a defense. You are respawning at the same time the Spartans are running through the gates. In my experience either you stop the Spartans at the first point or you don't stop them at all.

And also, when you're a Spartan and the Elites are going for the core, once it's outside it seems you spawn so far away. It takes forever to get back into combat and once you do the core is halfway home and you splattered by a ghost or blasted by a wraith.

On a completely separate note, I'm enjoying the needle rifle like 1,000x more than the DMR.

You can choose your spawn point. Try switching to the "Junkyard" spawn - it's that little base-like building close to where they have to take the core.

hmm, I'll give this a try though I remember the last couple games I tried switching my spawn points and the closest I could get was near where the core is before it's stolen. I don't remember an option for the junkyard, but I only played a handful of Invasion games and didn't mess with different spawn points too much. I still don't think that's enough to change my opinion of Invasion though. It just doesn't seem to have that hold on me like the rest of Halo's multiplayer does.

Re: Halo: Reach

Yeah, Invasion Objective needs some balancing. Elite spawns aren't great. Elites are at a disadvantage in the first phase with the Spartans having superior loadouts. If the people playing as Spartans are skilled with the DMR and pistol, good luck. Scorpion tank respawns to quickly in third phase. Some of the railing in parts of Boneyard lines up directly with the Spartans line of sight.

Unrelated, but I really hope Bungie sticks to it's guns with the changes they have made to the core formula and feel. There's quite a lot whining going on over on the B.net forums, and while that's nothing new, I just hope there able to separate the whining from the rationale.

I have had no issues as elites on the first phase, we usually take the ship pretty fast.

In response to the bolded, I wholeheartedly agree, and I trust that Bungie will stick to their vision of this game. It is such a breath of fresh air that this game is original and different from previous Halo's. So many sequels are exactly the same as their predecessor's and this game is actually different and new and people are complaining about that.

As far as changing the game, If double beatdown, Armor Lock Spamming/glitching and Reticule Lightness are fixed then I be happy.
