Re: Halo: Reach

Spoiler

Anyone surprised by the way this game ended? Usually Bungie games end with scrolling credits and a short cutscene afterwards. In Reach, the game ends very abruptly which is surprising considering this is Bungies last Halo game. I ended up dying on the very last mission and it took me to the end game cutscene... is there an alternate ending if you manage to survive that last level? Is it even possible to survive it? I ask because I'm playing solo legendary so the game is very difficult at this point.

Spoiler

you're not supposed to survive. the main end mission is not the last one, but the one where you need to clear the landing zone for Keys' falcon.

The short cutscene is in Legendary ending and you cant survive last lvl.

Re: Halo: Reach

Played this for 5 hours straight last night.

Holy Hell is it a good game.

I have to say that this is the best Halo imo. The single player has me so engrossed you feel like a part of the action at all times. The Halo engine has run its course imo and I hope 343 builds a new one for the next game or the next Xbox. All of the outside environments are absolutely beautiful, while I found some of the interior levels to be so-so. I am having a blast and hope the ride isn't over with anytime soon.

Re: Halo: Reach

I would agree with that. I found myself totally invested in the story, which is something that hasn't happened with the past few games, ESPECIALLY ODST. This is definitely up there as one of the best.

As far as the multiplayer is concerned, I'm not sold yet on the perks. I love the sprint because a way to move faster was needed, but the rest I'm still up in the air on. Especially with the Active Camo adding to the camping with the sword strategy.

What does the upstream bandwidth warning mean?

Re: Halo: Reach

Anyone know if you get penalised for quitting during an on-going game? I'm getting tired of seeing people quitting. Bunch of panises. Also, where do I find the weekly challenges?

I'm wondering the same thing...

It's the last one underneath the challenges. There first four are the daily ones, the last one at the bottom is the weekly one.

Yeah I have that too, but I know that I have good internet, and I've had no issues, so I'm not worried about it.

Good looking out.

You forfeit any credits you otherwise would have earned had you not quit. The ban hammer swung during the beta, and it's been swinging the past few days with people getting timeouts from matchmaking. I saw some whining about this on B.net with one dude saying he paid $60 and should be entitled to play how he wants, and threatening to trade it in towards Black Ops. I hope Bungie sticks to their word on punishing habitual quitters. Better playlists will help some, because I know I've came close to quiting a few times when a gametype kept coming up and being voted for.

Re: Halo: Reach

Just finished the last weekly challenge last night. The pass 9 missions on heroic one for 5000 cr. Pretty fun (and easy with my 4 man team hehe).

Re: Halo: Reach

I'm still yet to even start single player. LOL

This week's weekly challenge is easy, just play 30 matchmaking games. I'll have that in a day or 2. LOL

the challenges are a nice touch. I had no intentions of starting the single player last week but I did so I could finish the challenge and get the 5000 credits. Now I'm glad I did because the campaign was a lot of fun.

Going to sink more time into multiplayer this week, and I think I'm finally going to hit up the arena.

Re: Halo: Reach

Act 9 on Legendary right now and absolutely awesome. All I'm going to say is I missed fighting the Elites on Legendary.
