Re: Halo: Reach

I love this…check it out… I hope EA eventually institutes this, especially into soccer, hockey and madden where you can play with teams of people:

Halo Reach auto-mutes loudmouths

Game detects people who're muted regularly and saves everyone the trouble

Bungie has built a clever system into Halo Reach which looks out for players who are constantly muted by fellow gamers and, eventually, mutes them automatically.

We hate the racial homophobic slurs that the prepubescent Xbox Live crowd has deservedly earned a reputation for as much as you, and often we simply resort to cutting off all voice comms completely. Silence is bliss. But you needn't be so extreme in Halo Reach.

A Bungie rep has told Ars Technica: "We (Bungie) have added an "Auto Mute" mechanism that notices, warns, and eventually defaults players to being Muted when they enter games if they are muted by enough people over a period of time."

Nifty, innit?

I absolutely love this, I think it takes time or something because last night I was on with some tremendous idiot and he did not mute automatically. I had to mute him myself.

Re: Halo: Reach

Ninja on Fire is back doing playlist updates for Halo (he did playlist updates for Halo 2).


Brian Jarrard:

Playlist review meeting went well. Ninja on Fire and crew are working furiously to try and get key changes in ASAP. I'll save the meat for Urk to detail on Bnet but suffice it to say that SWAT will move into a separate, dedicated playlist and Team Slayer is getting better organized and tidied up. There are a number of tweaks and things across all playlists but the restoration of Team Slayer is one of the main highlights for me. Of course, the addition of Campaign Matchmaking and (most likely) two sweet Forge maps to the rotation don't hurt either.

See? This is why I love Bungie. They're constantly changing playlists and making changes to the game. I hated having SWAT in the slayer playlist, and now it's going to be in it's own. I hated played Team SWAT on Hemmorage or Team Snipers on The Cage. It's good to see the Team Slayer playlist getting cleaned up, it was mess with half of the game types being played on maps that just aren't suited for it.

Thank-you Bungie for making this game the most amazing game ever.

that's good news. Now if they could only make BTB into separate BTB slayer and BTB skirmish playlists, I would be very happy.

Very good news. Looking forward to 2 news maps as well. If we get a new new maps every month that is going to be awesome, and DLC will be coming as well.

Re: Halo: Reach

Pumped that there will be a SWAT only playlist. I'll definitely be in that one a lot.

Also, I really hope one of the forge maps is The Pit remake. That level in this game would make me a very happy gamer.

Re: Halo: Reach

Alright I need some campaign help.

Spoiler

On the fifth chapter, how do you destroy the second AA gun?!?! I either get killed by the Hunters, the Wraiths, or every other Covenant. I'm playing this on Legendary and this is the first time that I've gotten stuck on a part for over 30 minutes in this game.

Anyone...help?!?!

Re: Halo: Reach

Had some great games today in Team Slayer. Been mostly avoiding it because its usually SWAT and Snipers every time, but today I got a party of four going and we played for about 2 and half hours.

Re: Halo: Reach

Anyone know if there is a laser on hemorrage? Playing any kind of BTB game on that map is a huge drag as there are no weapons available to take out the vehicles (namely the scorpion tanks). Its useless to run around on that map as you'll most likely get blown up by those ridiculous tanks... it really ruins the return of blood gulch.

Check out these shots I took from a couple of my matchmaking games. I LOVE the theater mode!

Yea I just finished playing 5 SWAT games in a row... and I didn't vote for any of them...

Nope. If you go on the Bungie forums, everyone's complaining about this and how there is so much spawn trapping. I say get rid of Scorpions and add Wraiths and add rockets in the middle of the map like they used to have.

Sick shots man! I should do some of these

Only played one SWAT game in that whole session I think.

The plasma laucher is in the middle of Hemorrhage, but I think that rockets would be better. The plasma launcher has been nerfed a lot since the beta, its not really that good at all anymore.

I think they should remove and/or nerf the tank though.

[ChubbyBanana]

I wish they'd make swat a seperate playlist on BTB like "BTB Swat" or something so i could avoid that garbage while trying to play some large CTF and slayer.

Re: Halo: Reach

With SWAT getting its own playlist, I would expect it to either be removed from BTB, or its percentage of coming up significantly reduced. Hopefully removed, because it's terrible.

Rockets should definitely be put in the center of Hemorrhage, but no laser, that thing ruins vehicular combat. I would be in favor of removing tanks all together too. Hogs, Ghosts, and Revenants is plenty.

In the meantime, if you or one of your teammates has the sniper, it should be used to destroy the tank. Some people don't know, but the sniper is a highly effective anti-vehicle weapon.
