Halo: Reach

Re: Halo: Reach

I haven't had that much of a problem taking the first point with the Elites. You just have to run all the way right to avoid the DMR fire. A team of 4 Elites should be able to take the point pretty easily, especially if you use evade.

I haven't seen that much quitting in invasion either. Must be getting lucky.

I think 5 of my last 7 games have ended up 6 vs 3. Incredibly ****ing annoying.

Plus there is a needle rifle right by the crates, as soon as you get into that valley. Usually I just hit the camo and run up to the first set of crates, pick up the needle rifle and draw fire to myself while the rest of the guys flank to the far right set of stairs that others have mentioned.

Re: Halo: Reach

So is Halo Reach online different from Halo 3 and is it worth buying when it comes out?

Re: Halo: Reach

I'm going to be hoping for a straight invasion slayer playlist when the game releases.

Re: Halo: Reach

This beta does nothing for me. It's Halo, so I know I'll bite from the peer pressure of my entire friends list playing it, but like every other Halo...it's just Halo to me.

It is very different than Halo 3, although I guess still "Halo" at its core, but I lot of people have complained that this game simply isn't "Halo" so if you haven't liked Halo multiplayer in the past, I feel its worth playing and seeing if you like it.

Invasion slayer is awesome. Personally though, I like playlists that have a variety of gametypes. I love grab bag and hope that they include it in the final game. There aren't any 4v4 playlists in Halo 3 that combine different slayer and objective gametypes.

I agree. Grab bag should definently be in the final. Invasion Slayer is way better than Invasion to me.

My issue is that there are never enough people that vote to play invasion slayer.

The problem is the game always defaults to Invasion as the first choice. If they put Invasion Slayer as the first choice we would probably see much more of it, as not everyone will vote on a gametype.

Yup. I would love if the game didn't automatically put your vote to the first one. Have the people who're paying attention vote and everyone else doesn't get a say unless they pick something.

Re: Halo: Reach

Anyway you slice it, Spartans have superior loadouts in the first phase. DMR and an equally great secondary with the pistol. There should be a loadout for Elites with a ranged weapon (Needle Rifle), it's only fair. Also, the Elite spawn near the cliff is terrible.
