Halo Reach

[Brujesino]

Details on Halo: Reach from February 2010 Game Informer Issue:
[B]Reach will NOT follow the book, Fall of Reach.

We play as Spartan IIIs. Jorge is the only Spartan II on the team, and as a result is larger.

Carter 259 and Kat 320 are the only members of their original squad.

Jorge is a heavy weapons specialist.

what is this the 6th 7th halo game?

[Anton Chigurh]

ya your right

because GTA 4 wasnt a good game and they have other on the psp and so on

also MDW2 wasnt a good game cuz they have maybe 6 before that

you as a poster:sleeping

yea but those games were actually good. halo is just more of the same old alien crap.

[Anton Chigurh]

lol at you getting all mad over a video game

[Undisputed]

I'm really looking forward to this game. I like the sound of Halo going to the darker side of things and the aliens speaking their own language. I'm eagerly waiting for the beta.

[jaydacris]

not surprised, game makes too much money both in game sales and xbl
looks like it'll be pretty good

[Insomniax]

thats nice

Inconsistency in your argument. What did MW2 bring to the fps genre?

Nah, just the people who go out of their way to crap on someone else's thread.

[artex]

another halo...? milk it til its dry!

[Lancerballer21]

I am so lookin forward to this game. Thank god i have modern warfare 2 and NBA 2k10 to tide me over for as long as possible.

Plus i am thinking that the game is gonna be released Tuesday September 21st. (don't get on me for that if im wrong. It is just and educated guess.

[Al Thornton]

its the last one, hopefully it will be a good effort from bungie, and not half assed bullsh*t like halo 3/odst

This game looks like it's going to be amazing. I'm anxiously awaiting that beta. This will be a buy on the first day game for me. Looks like they're making good use out of the resources they have. I'm hoping for an improved Firefight mode with some matchmaking this time.

I agree. If this game had firefight along with the obvious multiplayer it would be awesome.

[QUOTE] Bungie continues to tease Halo: Reach tidbits this week in its Weekly Update, this time revealing a new grenade lobbing mechanism.

Grenades in Halo: Reach will have orange tracer attached to them, allowing users a better ability to place and detect grenade tosses.

What

[Lancerballer21]

Yea, i just read that update last night. I need to stop reading the updates though cause im getting way excited for this game but i cant get my hands on it till May 3rd. But trust me, on may 3rd im gonna play the crap out of that game.

[Brujesino]

A lot of new details have become available about Halo: Reach's online matchmaking and social networking features. Here are a some notable additions...

At the main menu or lobby screen Active Roster allows you to see what your friends are doing on Reach including who else they are partied with and what gametype they are playing.

A new Queue-Joining system removes the hassle of trying to join a friends game by automatically joining you as soon as it is available. Just set it and forget it.

When it's time to select a map, a new Veto 2.0 system has got plenty of options. It now shows four different sets of maps and gametype combos at once for players to choose from.

Perhaps the most exciting addition to the Halo universe is the new playlists dubbed The Arena. Made exclusiviely for the hardcore, The Arena's playlists only feature Slayer and Team Slayer gametypes. There will be month-long seasons where players are ranked and put into five skill divisions, Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Onyx. In order to be able to play in a season, players must do well in Daily Rankings which determine how you are doing for that day, this is where the men are seperated from the boys. The Arena uses a whole new way to figure out your overall score and doesn't let kills alone be the only determining factor. Maybe one day this will be the new Monday Night Football where everyone watches on TV or online?


i like the new veto system

[Undisputed]

All these details sound awesome. I am a bit bothered that there has been no answer on the Firefight with matchmaking yet.

Ensemble Studios did that game, not Bungie and it is 82 on matacritic, game was good.

firefight is not invasion, invasion is vs multiplayer. No details are going to be given about firefight anytime soon.

Beta code? I thought the beta was just going to be updated into ODST. Where do you get this code?

[Brujesino]

Servers seem to be down.Took me 15 minutes to get into one game then after that i spent a hour trying to get in a game but never worked.

these are some pretty good screenshots and video.

Finally, the king of FPS is back with another game. Reach beta is amazing, and Bungie continues to show how first person shooters should be made. This game is a lot more like Halo 1, which I love. The loadouts are kinda cool, and the old pistol is back (kinda):bowdown:

The game had over a million people playing the beta, that is just ****ing insane.

Well you have a little over a hundred kills and about an hour of play time. That is not really enough time to adapt to a game, no to mention the limited game modes and maps. I am not playing the Beta bc of this, I really do not want a halfass experience.

[Lancerballer21]

I finally got my hands on the beta yesterday and i thought it was pretty good. I could only play it for like an hour before i got bored cause there is only three maps and a couple of gametypes.

But one funny thing is that i was playing with my one friend yesterday and we were playing invasion, and one match he was the spartans and he complains about how their weapons suck, and the covie weapons are SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOO much better. Then the next match he is an elite and he says the exact opposite. What and idiot:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

[mrpuente]

downloading the beta right now.....post updates later.

Never played a Halo game before. Only started playing FPS games since playing MW2. Is it going to be worth me getting? Or should I pick up one of the older Halo games first to get used to it?

you dont have to worry about getting reach until around september when it comes out right now we are only playing the beta(sort of like a demo).

If you feel like going out to buy halo 3 its only around 30 bucks and the community is still very very very strong.

You should definately play halo 1 and do some LAN's. Halo 1 actually has physics, unlike 2 and 3, so when you throw a nade at a weapon or power up, the blast actually blows the weapon. What's interesting is that if you stand in the same spot on a given map and aim at the same spot, the nade will always land inthe same location. This means you can blow the sniper rifle/rockets to you from a remote hidden location on the map. Because this required skill and kids were getting owned, they had to do away with this feature in halo 2 and halo 3 to cater to the noobs so that everyone could be a winner. :lol

Hopefully halo reach will reedeem halo 2 and 3, as both of those games suck compared to halo 1.

I get tired of seeing these kids on halo 3 with 5000+ games played to my 400 or so and they wind up going negative with me going positive time and time again. You wonder why they just don't take their shit back to gamestop, system and all. :lol

Unfortunately, this is something that’s happened before. Actually, modders were able to get their hands on both Halo 2 and Halo 3 before their official releases. Individuals over at Game-Tut.com, the new title from Bungie Studios has been yanked from Microsoft’s servers. While the technicalities are all their own, we imagine that it was made much simpler by the fact that Microsoft put the game on their servers, enabling a $1,250 download of the title for reviewers just a few days ago.




The game, which has been on the servers for a little while now, was originally meant for reviewers of the title, and was supposed to only be able to be downloaded courtesy of a special code. The modders were able to find their way around that, and have been able to download the title at their will. Game spoilers are popping up all over the place, even Bungie’s official forums, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop any time soon. Unless Microsoft figures out a way to put a stop to it, and pronto.

Considering the title isn’t meant to be released until September 14th, this is a pretty big leak for both Microsoft and Bungie. Whether or not it will make a significant impact on their sales remains to be seen, but we really doubt that it will. Halo: Reach is the culmination of the series, and while it may not have its prodigal main character that Halo fans have grown to love, it’s still Bungie’s swan song to the Halo Universe. And that means it will probably sell a ridiculous amount. Even with a leak like this.

my 360's not modded so no point in downloading, but i dont think i would anyways.
gotta respect bungie, they've given me lots of good gaming hours, or perhaps stolen lots of life hours :(

but either way, ouchies. sucks for bungie/microsoft

They'll still be making their money. If I were Bungie, I'd move the release date up by a week.

I can't wait to claim my pre-order and play this game. We should get an ISH Firefight team together and play on the first day of the release.

I gave Halo 3 a shot and didnt like it. Even tho the hype and previews of this game (even XBL has some weird ass music playing feature/video now) I wont lie I'm tempted but I wont do it. If you cant borrow a Halo game to see if you do like it then good luck buying Halo Reach. Maybe you'll like it.
This is going to be the king of all Halo games. So many different game modes and shit. The multiplayer beta was really good, and there's been improvements based on the data and bugs from the beta. I'm mostly getting it for Firefight with matchmaking. I wasn't going to buy it unless it had that. You should at least rent it.

[sawyersauce]

I'll probably buy this, but I'm trying to keep my expectations down. The Halo series has progressivly gotten worse as each new game comes out.

The developers haven't been able to recreate the amazing set peices from the original (at least in single player). They seem to think more weapons and better graphics improves gameplay. I actually thought the original had the best set of weapons, they were all so different from each other and balenced perfectly, different weapon combos completly changed the way you played. By Halo 3 you could pick up any weapon on the battlefield and it was just a clone of your previous gun, except it's bullets were red instead of green (slight overexageration).

The original is one of my favorite games ever. Hopefully Reach returns to those heights.

i agree. kept getting worse with each game. 1st had an excellent single player. 2nd had a decent one but the multiplayer made up for it. the 3rd was just bad. maps were terrible. i might try out reach but i haven't been impressed at all by the things i've seen.

Completely disagree. The only weapon ever used in the original Halo was the pistol because it was so unfairly powerful. There is no way you can say with a straight face it was balanced. 3 head shots and your dead even from long range. Why do you think they nuked it so much in Halo 2?

1 was a great game no doubt, but 2 will always be my favorite.

You're obviously right that the original pistol was overpowered. But I'm not really talking about the balence of individual weapons, I'm talking about the balence of the collective. The sequels had a lot of redundant weapons, excess fat.

Wasn't the Battle Rifle and Carbine the same weapon as the original pistol? (2x scope, super accurate, headshot, mid/long range). Yet they kept the pistol anyway (albiet a watered down version). Not to mention the SMG, Plasma Rifle, Needler and Spiker, all interchangeable short/mid range fast-firing guns. Two tactically identical Sniper Rifles. And don't get me started on the Sentinel Beam.

For me the glug of weapons in the sequels killed the strategic element of having to pick your two weapon combo carefully. In the original each weapon served a unique strategic purpose. In the sequels several weapons serve each of those purposes.

It's your right to prefer Halo 2. I personally thought it's single player was average. Even though the level designs were different aesthetically, they mostly consisted of a sequence of small groups of entrenched enemies. You clear one group and move onto the next, until you finish the level. The original had lot's of different combat scenarios, from basic hiding behind cover-in-a-corridor to huge outdoor battles. Now that 2's multiplayer is redundant I won't pick it up again, but i'll continue to replay the original's campaign.

Now that 2's multiplayer is redundant I won't pick it up again, but i'll continue to replay the original's campaign.

Then your not really talking about balance. When 1 gun in a game makes every other gun except the heavy weapons useless the game is not balanced. There was no need for any of the other guns because they were so inferior to the pistol. It seems to me your talking about redundancy not balancing, which makes somewhat more sense but I still don't agree with it. The pistol owned everything! Who cares what your second gun was, if you had a pistol you were fine. The pistol was meant for mid range combat but even in short range combat, it still beat the assault rifle and plasma pistol making those guns useless. In Halo 2, you had the option of dual wielding which made all the short range weapons useful again against better weapons.

Unique strategic purpose? Again, I call shenanigans. More gun options allow greater freedom to choose strategies. In any competitive game in Halo 1, it was a race to the pistol. There was no strategy.

In Halo 2, the only weapon I found to be too redundant was the brute plasma rifle. The battle rifle and carbine as you said were similar to the earlier pistol but not the same. The Halo 1 pistol had quicker reloads, shot faster and only took 3 head-shots to kill compared to lets say the battle rifle which was a tad slower and took 4. They were similar guns but not the same and not the same power. The spiker was not even in Halo 2 and all the other guns you mentioned each had a "purpose". SMG's were great dual weapons as well as the pistol. SMG's provided damage while the pistol gave you the key headshots for quick kills even in it's watered down state. You could combine either of these with a plasma pistol for more quick kills. Each of these were different and had different skill sets that could be used together to be effective. Basically, you could still use these guns and get kills unlike in the first game. The snipers were also not the same. The Covenant sniper gave you the option of faster shots for consecutive hits but you would probably overheat as a result compared to the human sniper which was slower but would never overheat. The needler for good measure was terrible but still unlike any other gun. I fail to see the "glug" of weapons that serve the same purpose. You could mix and match in Halo 2 far more than in Halo 1. I don't even see that as debatable.

I agree with you about the Sentinal Beam, that was a pretty terrible gun. But I again disagree with you about the Halo 2 single player. That's as much as I'm going to get into that.

[sawyersauce]

Then your not really talking about...

Nice to see a solid argument. Good post.

But, a few re-hashes
The argument I’m trying to make is that the series has gotten worse as each new game came out. I don’t really want to reduce that down just to which game had a better blend of weapons. The term “weapons’ balance” was just used in a passing remark in my original post, yet that seems to be all we’re arguing about. IMO there are other and probably more significant reasons the original is superior to the sequels. It also means some of the criticisms I’m making are of Halo 3 and ODST. Probably more so, because I feel the effect snowballed as each successive game came out.

I’m also talking about the campaign.


But I again disagree with you about the Halo 2 single player. That's as much as I'm going to get into that.

In any competitive game in Halo 1…

From the above comments of yours, I’m guessing you’re mostly talking about multiplayer. That’s a completely different discussion.

Your argument that the game just turns into a race for the pistol doesn’t really apply to single player. I can’t speak for others, but I certainly didn’t play the entire campaign just using the pistol because it was overpowered.

I think both redundancy and balance fit what I’m saying (more aimed at criticising Halo 3 though, I suppose) although I guess my definition is different to yours.

I felt there was an excess of fast-firing short-range guns in the later games. To me that throws out the balance of the collective. In 2 and 3 I seem to spend a lot of time simply picking up those sorts of guns, burning through their ammo then picking up another different gun that does exactly the same thing – rinse and repeat. That’s what I mean by balance (or lack of). The collection of weapons is over-heavy in one type of gun. In the original the collection was spread evenly. Balanced.

As for redundancy.
A lot of this (both ways) just seems to be opinion. I think in Halo 2 the SMG and Plasma Rifle (and in Halo 3 the Spiker) were basically identical - Fast rate of fire, short range, used primarily to burn through enemies shields. You disagree. Ditto with the Battle Rifle and Carbine. Ditto with the Sniper Rifle and Beam Rifle. The differences seem minimal at the most, and hardly change the way the weapon is used strategically. So there are a lot more weapons, but only the same amount of strategic combos.

...And i ended up talking entirely about weapons, which is exactly what I didn't want to do...

I'm not really that good either - I blame my old man hands and reflexes. I spent the first 3 months getting hammered in matches until I figured out that I shouldn't just charge at people as soon as I saw them. ha!

I still enjoy it, even if I have to absorb an occasional butt whipping in multiplayer.

thank you!

[Whiteness]

Yah, preordered it meself :cheers:

I've been a fan since the original PC game...

going for those TSK's with the original magnum...

getting leads with the sniper rifle on blood gulch...

those were the best of times, brothers :cry:

[KOBEMAMBA24]

Haven't played 360 since about February, but I'm gonna buy this. That new and improved forge looks fun. Then you got co op campaign,versus,firefight,etc.Too much fun to be had on boring night.

same here havent played in ages

[Scott Baker]

Yeah I also haven't played in forever... I raped in Halo 3, and I will be buying Reach and 2k11.

[Bano114]

Im getting Reach...did you play the Beta? It was pretty fun. The story should be interesting too.

[boozehound]

no, but I will be giving a Halo Reacharound later today

[Bird]

I will be, but I won't get a chance to play it until March at the earliest.

Once I am able to play it though, I plan on logging some major hours on it, like I originally did with Halo 2.

[matt1016]

The Beta was pretty good - I thought Invasion was a lot of fun. I prefer the running & jumping of Halo 3 vs the lead-footed guys we were using in the Beta so hopefully they'll adjust that.

I really enjoying having a scoped pistol again and I liked the needler rifle even more than the DMR.

[Undisputed]

I already have my pre-order payed off. Planning on picking it up at the midnight release at Gamestop.

If anyone on ISH is gonna get the game, add me ( GT: Warp1ay ).

[Undisputed]

I still enjoy it, even if I have to absorb an occasional butt whipping in multiplayer.
Agreed. The thing about this game is that there will be matchmaking in Firefight, which is a co-op game mode if you don't already know. It will be nice to get away from the hyper competitive multiplayer deathmatches and such.

[BALLin01]

Definitely, have it on pre-order as well

[RoseCity07]

I will be purchasing it. I'm a bit of a Halo enthusiast myself, although I'm not that good at all the games. I've read most of the novels too.

Yeah I read Fall of Reach, and at the Halo 3 midnight launch they had a trivia game for a free year of Xbox live. I won it using answers from the book.

I'm pretty hyped about Halo Reach. I played the beta and it was really fun, much better than Halo 3. I can only imagine the polished game will be even better with more weapons and vehicles.

yeah, can't wait for the DLC to rape my wallet :rant

knowing microsoft they're gonna squeeze every dime they can get outta this one

[RoseCity07]

The DLC will only be maps. They never add vehicles or weapons. But man, it's something that irritates me about Halo Reach.

Like 3 or 4 of the 9 "new" maps are just creations Bungie made in Forge World.

So really it's only 6 new maps with the game, and you know damn well Bungie or M$ made it that way so they can charge another 10 dollars for maps that should have been included in the game.

[bballer]

I will be getting it

[Jackass18]

So, what vehicles and weapons are they adding?

[Undisputed]

So, what vehicles and weapons are they adding?
For weapons http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/108/1086176p1.html

I can't find anything on new vehicles. There weren't any new ones on the beta either.

[matt1016]

For weapons http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/108/1086176p1.html

I can't find anything on new vehicles. There weren't any new ones on the beta either.

New vehicles:

Humans get a rocket warthog and the Falcon - a hornet-like flying thingee with side mounted guns (like the hog, you need a gunner and a driver, er...flyer)

Covenant gets a new vehicle that is a cross between the wraith and Halo 2's Spectre. I think it is called a Revenant.

I was reading some Halo Reach stuff on ign. And Marlo from "The Wire" is doing the voice of noble 4...

Yes,first thing iam doing is going to campaign since i hear its the best campaign they have made ever.

[shortlunatic]

ok so i have a question about the ranking system cuz I'm really confused. I understand that it resetes every month. But what I don't get is how exactly your rank is calculated. I hear that in reach, the only way you lose points is by quiting matches. If thats true, that sucks because its just like call of duty where rank isn't based on how good you are, but on how much you play. Can anyone confirm??

Well, the way that the arena worked in the beta was that your individual performances in each game were assessed a score, and the averages of your best 3 or something were used as a basis to match you against similar skilled individuals. I'm not sure if that type of ranking system will even be in the game, but it seems like (initially, at least) they're basing ranking more on skill than games played.

I can't be the only that shakes my head when I hear someone say "I only buy it for the multiplayer". My noob as friend says this crap. The campaign is the best part, and how you get good at the game.

[RoseCity07]

By the way, I heard that the NBA 2k11 demo comes out tomorrow on Xbox 360 and PS3. I'm thinking at about 2 am it will be on XBL, but that's only based on what they did in the past.

[Rose]

Ehh its why I bought Halo actually. I don't like the Flood and hate them personally. But I played multiplayer thought it was bad ass and bought it for that :oldlol: halo 2 I got for both. and I never got Halo 3, just read about online, and bought ODST....for the multiplayer. Reach I'm buying for both though. I just think the history behind Halo is fascinating.

[RoseCity07]

The original Halo really is the best story. That's not just nostalgia either.

From beggining to end, and the end was awesome. Halo 2 was such a let down, but Halo 3's finish made it worth the wait.

I already know how Reach ends, I saw it about 3 weeks ago. But so does everyone that read the books. I still think this can be the best campaign. Although Halo CE is going to be hard to beat.

[Kobe Jnr]

There's no flood in Reach. I was going to go to the midnight launch, but I fell asleep early...

Luckily I didn't go, b/c I got an email saying it's getting delivered soon... I pre ordered it online months ago... I totally forgot about it..

first was the only one people went to primarily for the campaign. multiplayer was tacked on, was no xbl yet. it was very fresh, lots of variety. 2nd and 3rd and i can only assume reach were boring as f*ck. 2 had great mp, but 3 was a complete downgrade. reach looks like it will be solid on both ends, but again nothing new which is really sad.

[RoseCity07]

honestly, I didn't think Halo 2 multiplayer was that fun. I tried to force myself to enjoy it, but I would quit playing after 15 minutes. When something just isn't fun to you, it's hard to stick with it. Halo 3 multiplayer was much better imo because they actually had a massive beta and the full 3 year dev cycle. They went back to the basics of what made this game fun.

The BR in Halo 2 really did have massive autoaim, unlike the halo 1 pistol. The sniper rifle looked so poorly done, like they just gave up on the weapon skin.

I think Halo 2 is so popular because it's most peoples first online experience with the game. But I went to Halo LANs in high school, and it was much better.

by the way, there are new weapons, new maps, new vehicles, new forge, new armors in reach. Don't know why you keep saying nothing new. Oh I forgot to mention, there are armor abilities now.

[Undisputed]

It's been talked about, but who's actually down to get an ISH firefight team together after midnight or in the evening(of the 14th, of course)?

Add me if you guys are down. I'll be on until about 5 am tonight and sometime in the evening tomorrow.

there was 3 years between the first and 2, so don't know what you mean. but 2 was just really well polished and had some of the best maps in an fps, definitely for a console fps. a lot better community with that game too, and maybe just because that was one of the few good xbl games.

i'm gonna get this eventually, but right now got dead rising 2 and 2k11 queued up. not a priority, but still looks decent.

Got it delivered around an hour ago... had to do some things. Gonna have a shower and get to it!

Damn u...... i have been seeing a bunch of gameplay on youtube already tonight, i havent been this hyped about a game well since Halo 3. I cant get the game til later on this week so i am gonna miss out on the Midnight Madness. From what i have seen so far the graphics engine looks a loot more polished and smooth... great graphics considering all the ish thats going on on the screen at once. I live in cali so its not out here yet have about 2 1/2 hours.... oh yeah did i say "DAMN U "....:D

it's pretty well known in the bungie community that halo 2 did not have a full 3 year development cycle. Bungie admitted they didn't have a running build of the game when they showed the e3 trailer just a year and a half before release. Microsoft rushed bungie to release halo 2. You should google it. There are some articles about it.

I'm on my iPhone at the reach launch so it's too har to post links.

[RoseCity07]

Basically everything is online in this game because campaign has matchmaking now.

[Undisputed]

Played a little Firefight and some of the missions tonight. This game is really amazing. 10/10 for me so far.

[RoseCity07]

Have had some of the most epic campaign moments. This is the best Halo game ever. At first I thought I was overreacting. No, this game just has the best of them all and then some. I've gotten so far in campaign already. This game is a 10.

I'm going to pick this up when 2k11 comes out. Multiplayer up in this b*tch!

[matt1016]

Played some online games today and the multiplayer is GREAT

The multiplayer has been a blast so far. I'm still trying to get used to the way the grenades bounce now but I've been doing pretty well through a handful of games.

Since I wasn't all that great at Halo 3, I figure a whole bunch of new kids have hopped into the Halo world with this game and I'm victimizing them.

I'm not spending any credits - I'm going to save them all up for the next 3000 matches or so and buy the lightning bolt armor effects. Then I probably won't wear it :confusedshrug:

[shortlunatic]

So I'm taking the multiplayer experience is worth it the huh?? I only hear good things from reviews and I ask everyone single person that picks up halo at my job if they know anything about and they all say everyone they know says online is amazing. Think Ima just shed the cash...

[Rose]

Online is astounding. I love it. The campaign is brilliant(I'm almost done) Game is a 10. It's gonna keep me interested till gears 3!

The online is so good and there's so much to do, I have only played one campaign mission so far.

I haven't messed around in Forge yet but I'm looking forward to seeing what the community comes up with there.

Invasion (particularly the human's attacking the Elites version) is really fun.

Firefight is so much better than the ODST version, I think I'll actually play it regularly now. Instead of fighting with your backs against the wall, it is more like campaign where you can move around and pick your battles.

I hopped into the Arena today for the first time and it was pretty intense. Everyone was pretty skilled - it was quite a change from Social.

[SayTownRy]

had this game since tuesday and haven't had time to play :mad:

that all changes in one hour and 20 minutes. got my halo 3 controller all ready to go. easily the nerdiest thing i own.

[BALLin01]

Beat the campaign on Legendary today, great game.

[shortlunatic]

I couldn't help it, I pulled the trigger. The game is pretty good, I started campaign just to get a feel for the the controls since I'm brand new to the Halo franchise. I actually enjoyed it, which is rare cuz i never enjoy any campaign mode anymore. Online looks pretty good too. Only had time to play a few games but it looks promising. Looking forward to actuallygetting good at it cuz I'm getting whooped right now. Quick question, at some point in time will I start online games with a better gun?? I always start with the sing shot rifle which is kinda a bummer for me. Do your weapons change as you rank up or is thats just how you constantly start off and pick up guns when running around??

I started back to gaming with Halo 3 and spent several months getting whooped in multiplayer until I realized that I shouldn't charge in at anyone. You probably know that already but I had to learn the hard way - I'd never really played FPS's online against humans before.

In my humble opinion, in the Halo environment your grenade placement makes or breaks you. Throwing a grenade at the spot where the other guy is going to be in one half-second from now sets up your killing headshot.

As you start out in multiplayer, try to use grenades, magnum, DMR, and the needler rifle. Avoid going in close for melee beatdowns - you'll just end up trading kills with people. Run backwards a lot.

In CoD, I found most of my encounters came down to the strategy before the engagement. After both players were aware of each other, the quickest/most accurate shot usually won the encounter and it was over fast.

In Halo, more damage needs to be done to someone to finish them so you have to get used to slightly longer encounters. Even if someone has the drop on you and fires first, you have enough time (because of your shields) to outgun/out-grenade them if you're a superior player.

I always use something besides the AR as my primary weapon. The AR should just be for finishing people off up close.

You always get access to the same guns as everyone else. Halo differs from CoD in this aspect. Everyone gets the same stuff so the experienced players don't have any advantages. You have to memorize where the power weapons are on each map.

Halo Reach added a credit system but the armor pieces and other unlockables are strictly cosmetic.

If you're just starting out with the controls, switch to the Bumper Jumper button layout and get used to that. It makes you much tougher to kill because you can jump all over the place and still keep your thumbs on both sticks.

Disclaimer: Take my advice with a grain of salt. I am by no means a Halo god...I'm pretty average in multiplayer but I know enough of the tricks to brutalize any noobs I run across. Real players usually beat me pretty good. lol

[Rose]

Lol at disclaimer ^^^^^^^^^. From what I've seen there's only Noobs and average people.No one's really dominated any matches. It'll be like 4-5 people at the top all close together in scores, and then the bottom guys have like 3-5 kills if they all stay.

Forge seems a little off too me, not sure how or why. It just seems that way. invasion is boss. So is infection but no one ever wants to play it! Firefight is pretty solid I guess. It's much improved by trying to get all the scoring achievements is pretty hard for me.

yeah, I noticed that too. I've only been in a couple matches where someone had 20+ kills and destroyed everybody.

I figure that the Halo 3 generals are still learning the maps and getting used to the new grenade physics just like the rest of us. The kids that were great at H3 will eventually be better than me at Reach but right now I can hold my own. I played a few Arena matches and the competition was more intense but I didn't get hammered.

Yeah I've gotten absolutely murdered once. And it was by one of the guys who stayed on to play Halo 2 after they closed off the xbox live original. Dude kicked all of our asses in headhunter and slayer dmrs it was just insane.

I love how they brought back the one map from Halo 2 with the big fountain and courtyard in the middle, forgot the name

This game is pretty great so far. My only beef is that I am unable to access the file sharing stuff. Whenever I try it says my account does not have access, but according to the faq all you need for access is a live gold account and i have one of those....

that all changes in one hour and 20 minutes. got my halo 3 controller all ready to go. easily the nerdiest thing i own.

Sigh, I bought the game and a year subscription, go buy another controller (I lost mine) and as I turn on my Xbox on I get the Red Ring of Death. So effin lame. I bought a repair kit off ebay for like 10 bucks and I'm going to try the X clamp fix. Seems to work out sometimes. I'ma be so pissed if it doesn't work.....

[Jackass18]

Alright, been playing for about a month now (it doesn't seem like it's been out that long, though). Firefight is kind of boring. It seems the main reason to do it is for the challenges (maybe I just got burned out on it with that weekly challenge where you had to play it 50 times). They definitely need to make some changes and/or add some things in so it doesn't seem so repetitive/too easy (people always seem to vote for Rockets/Snipers). Hell, having 1 person on the Elite side would make it more interesting.

All the maps seemed huge at first, but they don't seem to be so big anymore. I guess I just had to get used to the new maps. I like the campaign so far, but I don't play it very much. Multiplayer is king.

All everyone wants to play is

i just picked this game up the other day, i like it so far im more of a team objective type player. Straight up getting kills kind of bores me. I cant get the controls down like Im used too. Probably going to start on the campaign. What do yall think about it so far?

[Jackass18]

I was rather rusty when I first started playing, but now I'm beasting. I'm creeping up on Lt. Colonel Grade 3. BTB seems repetitive since I seem to get Slayer on Hemorrhage all the time, and Invasion on Boneyard sucks ass. If you're on a bad team, then you're going to get raped. I like the variety, but I think I like Multi Team the most. I don't have to worry about being on a bad team or even worry if my partner sucks.

Since i got laid off work ive started playing this game much more and liking it more everyday.I really really want to get 100% armor this weeks challenge gets you 16,000 iam defenitly going after that.

Hmmm, I've been playing Black Ops until the new map pack comes out for Halo, but 16k is enticing...

What rank you at now?

Warrant Officer 3

Ya those 16k is the most they ever put up...i think.

You have to do 16 daily challenges in a week todays challenges are easy so i should be able to get all 4 of them plus my 2 from yesterday.

[Jackass18]

3-4k is the highest I can recall before that one. 16k is a lot and I had to jump on it or at least get started on it. The jet-pack challenge sucked. I never use that damn thing, and I didn't get credit half the time I killed someone while jet-packing.

[Brujesino]

Been playing this game alot, iam only a couple thousand credits away from Lt.Colonel

[Jackass18]

I haven't played since getting that 16k. How are the new maps?

I dont know 10 bucks for 3 maps isnt worth it for me.

[Brujesino]
