Halo: Reach

Re: Halo: Reach

Thank goodness for the strategy guide. Its the only way I am getting through the campaign on Heroic. Lol

Me and a friend are tackling the Campaign on Legendary. We've gotten through the first 3 real missions you do. I think we just started the fifth mission. All the achievements look easy to get other than the solo legendary one.... that's going to be a tough one.

Re: Halo: Reach

Friend and I just wrapped up the campaign on Heroic. Hats off to you Bungie, it's been a great ride.

Re: Halo: Reach

I'm making an attempt to re-create Shipment right now. I'm doing it exactly as you'd see it in Call of Duty 4. I've been playing some Shipment maps other people have created, but they don't feel the same. So I've decided to make my own, 100% exact (or try to) Shipment. I Just finished making the big crates in the middle and I'm moving onto the side crates which I will tackle tomorrow.

I'm adding every detail I can think of from the barrels near the crates, right down to the gaps in between the crates where you can shoot across the map.

Lets just hope I don't run out of important pieces... I'm already running low on wall pieces...

I might make an attempt to recreate Vacant as some else did with limited success, but that map is huge...

Re: Halo: Reach

I have no doubt they will get better, because they always have in the past, but the playlists need a lot of work. I certainly don't want to see to many playlists, because then the community becomes to spread out, and sometimes it's hard to get good games in certain playlists like with Halo 3. But the core modes really need to be broken up more, especially Team Slayer and Rumble Pit. Both should have options for just strictly Slayer, while another is mixed. I don't want to play Race, Infection, or Snipers on Paridiso in these playlists. Currently, it's to much like Grab Bag.

Re: Halo: Reach

This is easily my favorite Halo of all time, and I haven't even touched single player yet. Usually I'm bored of multiplayer within a day, but with this one, no matter how bad I am, I keep wanting to come back to play it.

Completed today's daily challenge, it was a fairly easy one and got the achievement.

Will finally sink into multiplayer this weekend.

Re: Halo: Reach

I'm completely the opposite, I have absolutely hated the online multiplayer, just as I thought and knew I would, but the campaign was good of what I played of it.

Just out of curiosity, why are you making maps from Call of Duty?

I guess its just personal preference, but I like the grab bag approach to playlists, especially with the voting system.

Re: Halo: Reach

I've had some with this so far. Played maybe the first two missions in the campaign, playing on the level below the hardest.

Online is fun, but I'm not very good/ some people are incredible at this game. I'm gonna try to get better, but it's getting frustrating, not being able to compete.

Re: Halo: Reach

I finally got to play Reflection last night in multiplayer and it's a great remake. I loved Ivory Tower in Halo 2 and now I love Reflection. In two games on it last night I went 23-13 and 17-9. A few too many deaths for my taste, but we won both games.

The problem is SWAT and Snipers come up to much, and the majority of the matches they have when I've played, people have voted for them.

I would also like to play BTB, but hearing how much these two gametypes come up there is keeping me away. What happened to the love for BTB Skirmish? So many awesome memories of 1-flag, 1-bomb on Headlong, Relic, and Zanzibar. Multi-flag and Multi-bomb on Coagulation and Containment. Now Slayer is weighted way more, and Swat and Snipers is in the playlist? Ugh...I miss the days of Halo 2.

Yeah I'm not sure why snipers and SWAT are even in the Big Team playlist. Those are not Big Team gametypes IMO. I agree with you, and the playlists will be adjusted over time as we have known Bungie to do, but in thoery I do like less playlists with more gametypes.

I'm with you 100 percent flawless. Too much SWAT and snipers in team slayer and BTB. I want team slayer to be team slayer. I want BTB to be assault, 1-flag and mutli-flag CTF. Not enough people play BTB to do this, but I wish BTB could be split into BTB slayer and BTB objective.

Well I want to make Shipment because a) other people's versions aren't good. b)Although there maybe some good 1v1 maps in Reach that me a my friends play on, we played a lot on Shipment in Call of Duty 4 and I thought I'd recreate it in Reach so we can have all the fun we once had in CoD4 in Reach

This would be bliss.
