depends on if you are having the game save issues that lots of us are having

Seems like it picked up after the mission. When I resumed the campaign it put me two levels back. I selected the right mission and after it put me back in the city. I thought I wa gonna have to start over for a minute.

what i think is that these arent save problems just how the game works, if your save file still has you going to tayari plaza or something but on the campaign part it says you have already beat it load your save file and just open visr go to map and press up or down to go to oni alpha site or whatever else.

I must not be destined for Endure. Fourth Set, Third Round, Fifth Wave and my whole team was killed, just like last night.

Is it just me, or is this game a LOT harder than Halo 3? Now I'm stuck on Kizingo Highway trying to defend this point with Dutch, and there are hundreds of enemies but no health packs. I can't get past it.

No it's "easier" granted my friend and I went back and finished Halo3 on Legendary or whatever the hardest setting was last night.

I can't get past it.I had trouble with that the first time I played it but it was easier on subsequent play throughs. You have to change up your strategy and take out the Wraith as quickly as possible. A plasma pistol will stun it making for an easy boarding and melee death (or LT with a grenade). After the Wraith is gone, it is much easier. Good luck.

I found ODST easier. For the part you are at... this is how I handled it.

I found going to the upper corner (where you entered the area) is the best place to hang out. You will have about 2 brutes coming from the stairs midway through and a few jackals (about 4-5) on your right that come towards the end. Once they were dead, I ran along the top and shot two rockets into the wraiths and everything ended.

I still had problems even after first taking out the wraith. I also have the least amount of health possible.

odst is certainly easier than halo 3. if there are no health packs backtrack a bit or if you cant do it reload the level.

I believe there are health packs in front of the main entrance to the building, on the ground. And I thought there was one to the right, if you're standing in front of the building, looking towards the Wraith, in front of the turret (if those spawn in campaign - can't remember). I think it's with the sniper rifle?

For those in the preview program, the Halo Waypoint app (130MB file) is available to download. The big news is that this is the launch of avatar awards on the 360.

What awards you have are determined by having certain Halo achievements across the Halo landscape (3, Halo Wars, and ODST.) It also keeps track of how many awards you have in all the Halo games in their Waypoint career progression meter.

No other content in Waypoint is new, just some videos that ran on Inside XBox before. The official launch of Waypoint is Nov. 5, so I guess that's also the day the Facebook, etc. update hits everyone else.

I think they rolled out the avatar awards earlier this week in an update to 'splosion Man but the addition of them here is pretty cool.

I loaded it up and it unlocked 5 avatar awards for. ODST helmet, full ODST costume, OSDT shirt, ODST Hoodie, and a Monitor prop that flies around your avatar. The last one was a Recon Helmet for your avatar.

I have never looked at the avatar marketplace so I don't know this, but are these items for sale there? Would be cool if they were exclusive and only unlocked through gameplay as opposed to available to anyone with MS points to waste.

Does anyone still play this game? Lack of matchmaking really hurts when you have no one to play with. Then again I suck so that prob doesn't help. If anyone out there wants to try any of the challenges or even the campaign on multiplayer pm me and we can set something up. I'd say I'm a casual gamer and am not too concerned with getting all the achievements but no harm in trying!!

This. I can't really coordinate when I'm going to get a free second (or hour) to hop on the 360 and play something. At the same time, firefight is so chaotic that I'd be more than happy to hop into a random game and just shoot shit for an hour. This needs to get patched.

So, just started playing this the other day. Learned the hard way why you should always "save and quit" instead of just powering down. In my haste to come up with some kind of fix, I started a new campaign from the mission I was on, to see if it would let me continue in the story. For some reason it won't, kicking me back to Mombosa Nights, giving me a bunch of objectives to "investigate what happened to ODST teammates" and such.

I've come to accept that I'm going to have to play through every Mission again to get a campaign complete achievement. However, since I completed most of the missions on Legendary already, is it possible to do a quick playthrough on Normal, and then re-do the ones I have left on Legendary to get the "Campaign Complete: Legendary" achievement? Or should I just continue from the save I currently have on Legendary, with only the Flying around the Subway mission finished? Or, even worse, should I just start a new save? Thanks

I'm pretty much looking to get the firefight achievements in the next few days since I rented this from gamefly and want to send it back asap. So add em if you also want to run through some firefight, I got no friends playing this game at all so add me, message me or whatever. i dont have a working mic so if that is a problem then sorry. But the only way for me to even play firefight is if some people play with me.

I guess I can play solo, but ehh

I need to get my ODST disc back from my friend before then. I bought it at launch mainly for the Halo 3 multiplayer maps. I played ODST for about an hour, decided it sucked, and lent that disc to my friend, while I kept the second disc to play online with. But it sounds like I will need the first disc to access the beta.

Couple of things to address here.

The "fight night" thing has been confirmed to be optional. If you hold down the beat down button, it will go into the long winded animation. If you just tap it, it will do the same thing as previous games.

I see a lot of people complaining about rolling, but I don't see it as a bad thing. Lets look at the past 2 Halo's, where the BR was the dominant weapon. A majority of the battles boiled down to having 3 shots of the BR land on the guys body, and then one shot to the head, with the only evasive tactics being a) jump or b) strafe. But now you can also add in a c) roll, which essentially ducks your head and lets you get to cover without letting the other person get that crucial headshot on you. Yes, I know, the BR hasn't been confirmed yet, but the pistol has, so my point remains valid.

As for jetpacks, they aren't all that different from having the portable gravity lift.

Last I heard, that is what it is currently slated as, but they aren't 100 percent sure yet.

Agreed. The jet packs are really the only worrisome thing for me, since it really opens the map to annoying situations of camping with a sniper, ala super jumping in Halo 2. On the other hand, some interesting glitching and exploration may come out of the implementation of the jetpack, just hopefully not with such ease that they can be done in the middle of a game. Also, I really hope that all these "enhancements" are turned off if you grab a flag or a ball. Being able to use the jet pack when holding the flag would be lame.

Did anyone get an email from xbox.com saying they get 400 points, 3 months of live, and a beta key for a download of the halo reach beta? It was basically a "I'm sorry for halo 2 being shut down" present of sorts

I didn't. Supposedly its only going out to Xbox 1 users. Shame too. Halo 2 was the pinnacle of Halo, and from the looks of Reach, H2 will remain as such.

I wish Bungie would've stuck to the "One gun to rule them all" game play instead of stray away from it like in H3...it was what set players apart. Instead, they opted to overly balance the game and reward AR users for simplying jamming on the trigger. I am still unsure why they didn't implement the MLG setting Battle Rifle into all the matchmaking playlists....

Granted, no one has used the DMR and it could be the new all purpose power weapon, but that remains to be seen. If there is no such "gun to rule them all" I will definitely play the MP for about a week then say "fuck this"

How would Xbox 1 users play the beta? MS would expect them to buy a 360?

I would be willing to play. Been wanting to play this again for a while now, but the lack of matchmaking really hurts since none of my friends are playing it. I will be online around 8:30-9 est if you need someone.

I could play, but we're def going to need more than 2 people...

from reading it it looks like they give you a token. which you could use on your 360. IF however you don't got one.. you still have the token to use whenever you want or to give it away..

is there another solution that doesn't involve 360 owners who didn't have an xbox 1? since giving 360 owners who didn't have xbox 1 is like giving a guy a gift basket who wasn't at the party.

It's not like I want Reach to be bad. I even bought a copy of ODST just to play the Beta. You're also talking to a guy who bought the goddamn $100 Kotobuyika Masterchief statue, the Halo 3: Legendary Edition and a regular copy of Halo 3 so I wouldn't have to open the Legendary Edition all on launch day. I also have 2 copies of Halo 1 and Halo 2, the Halo 2: LE still is unopened and countless other Halo piece of shit merchandise....

Yep. Halo = Microsoft, not Halo = Bungie. Completely right in your assumption. Also, Halo 3 multiplayer was a complete piece of shit.

Trying to play in early May probably will make it impossible, at least for a couple weeks, since the Halo Reach Beta drops on May 3.

Kind of what I figured. I could "attempt" to try now, but with my crazy sleep schedule (due to my current job), I'd rather not adjust it just for a game.

No biggie though. It just gives me time to either play the beta or work on other games in my backlog. :razz:
