Halo: Reach

[quote name='hustletron']I agree that people will lose interest once they unlock/buy everything they want to buy in this game but the credit cap thing is just so absurdly stupid and unnecessary.

Bungie said it was so that people who didn't or couldn't play as much as people who no life it could be on a level playing field or some variation of that phrase but when they lift the credit cap, the people who no life it shoot even further up the rank list to the next credit cap.

There's no point, the only thing the credit cap does is make Bungie look amazingly stupid with visual evidence. They are attempting to prolong the life of their game by annoying their players. It doesn't work like that.[/QUOTE]

You know, Hustletron, I usually disagree with what you say, but I agree. :)

Anyways, it's been almost 2 months since I've had the game, and I still don't have internet. Hopefully I'll have it within a month from now, but I've almost completely run out of interest in this game. Black Ops is coming out, I'm so RIDICULOUSLY far behind every other player in cR and all that, input lag problem on my TV, just...not good.

I just don't know if I want to sell it. I feel like I'll way regret it later when I get bored of Black Ops.
 
Does anyone use the autolook centering? I turned it off, but thought it might help in some games like swat. I have a bad habit of aiming my gun down so i can see the screen better. But in swat games i keep it high... but sometimes when you jump down and need to center it again it could come in handy.

Only reason why I'm still holding onto Reach is Grifball having potential. If it sucks too I'm gonna sell it.
 
Well that wasn't so bad. Only took me 15 or so tries to get the "And They Came to Hear Me Beg" achievement. Got it on the 3rd time I performed an assassination.
 
Also knocked out the Banshee Hijacking achievement, and the one on Long Night of Solace for taking out the Corvette engines and escorts under 3 minutes.

So that's got all the achievements intended to go after knocked out other than finishing the grind to Lt Col.
 
FYI the CAG clan tag CAG Halo Clan has over 50 openings available. Send a FR to that tag and I'll accept you and you can matchup with other CAG members. Just remember to look at the friends of CAG Halo Clan on its gamercard.

So I've been trying to play the Campaign on Normal and...I'm just not enjoying it. I've only done three missions so far and it feels like a complete chore. Maybe I should just hookup with a few people and run through it on Legendary.

I got the LNOS achievement online today with 3 other randoms. I decided to play some of the campaign missions. Still need the achievement for beating the campaign on legendary. I have 5 levels left to beat. One thing i dont understand is why dont they show the level names when choosing what difficulty i want to play? Am i supposed to memorize what picture is for each level? Just seems a little odd that they dont include the level name.

Sweet. I'd love to, for once, actually be on the team with everyone in a group and actually have like some strategy.
 
[quote name='The 7th Number']

I read the new credit cap is 60,000. Serious why is bungie doing this. First it was a cap on rank, and you could earn like 100-120 credits a day....now they take the rank cap off but cut the credit cap in half. Just let me play the game!

obesity kills kids is why
 
[quote name='100xp']shortly after ppl start reaching the point where they've purchased everything they want or could buy in the armory with cR, you'll start to lose playerbase due to disinterest. sure, ppl say they will stop playing or take a break but sometimes sheer frustration of a cR cap motivates ppl to continue playing. *shrugs* Plus, not everyone can hit the cap or has time to do even try. Again, when you hit the cR cap you're not banned from playing online or offline you just cease to earn cR for playing. In essence you can play til you passout but only be rewarded for so many games.

when life is too easy, you want change.[/QUOTE]

The highest rank is 30 million cR and it is rumored that you can get items up until that rank. I think the highest revealed item is the Ghost Helmet or whatever it's called and that takes something like 8 million cR. People are going to lose interest way before they hit those numbers. I just hit about 600k cR about a week ago and completely lost interest. This game just isn't anywhere near as fun as Halo 3 or 2 for that matter. I just can't get myself to even get online and do the challenges anymore. It's just boring the hell out of me. Maybe one day I'll start playing again to get my armory/commendation percentages up.

[quote name='GUNNM']obesity kills kids is why[/QUOTE]

I blame the internet more for obesity than I do video games.

Anyway, add me, everyone. Mr Arbitrage is my gamer tag. I need people to play with. I prefer doing Team Slayer or Team Snipers so if you like those game types, add me.
 
I've been playing since day one and I haven't lost interest yet, mainly because majority of the games I play are w/my IRL buds on XBL. I still play Borderlands too even though I'm currently on a break to enjoy Reach. *shrugs*
 
There will be a drastic drop of players on Reach when Black Ops comes out, I hope Bungie takes note of this. Now we will see which game has the best multiplayer, both have the same ranking system.
 
I was trying to beat tip of the spear on legendary with 2 other guys, and well that didnt go so well. What was really annoying was we had a checkpoint right as we made it to the second Gun (i think) we had to blow up. So we are there with 2 wraiths, 2 hunters, whole mess of flying bugs, and have to clear a landing zone after blowing up the gun. We get past that, which takes maybe 10+ minutes and many deaths. We get into the heli and man the guns. Bam we die within seconds of contact. So we get loaded all the way back where we first got to the gun. I mean seriously there is no checkpoint when you get into the helicopter? We tried this three or four times and kept getting loaded back where we first got to the gun, and we had to blow the gun up and clear a landing area over and over. So i said F this and quit. There was no way i was going to be able to get past the heli part with these two guys.

Wow, thanks for letting us know this. Now I am going to get black ops just because of the name.:roll:
 
Some easy FF challenges today. Knocked 3 of them out before work in a couple matches. I found the multikill one (yep another 35 one), much easier this time(I did Glacier last time). Tip: Corvette + Sprint. It leaves you vulnerable, but you can make it to the spawn point on the first floor faster. I had 6 Killtaculars and 1 Killtrocity.

I seem to recall most of you camping on the left (I camp on the right), so run over to the spawn point and launch a couple grenades through the energy field. The grunts have nowhere to dive to and bamm, 5-6 medals in a second. Run back and continue camping until the next wave. Wash and repeat. While you are out running around, grab the Fuel Rod too. I ended with 63 multikills this time.

I can't wait for the inevitable drastic drop of posters in this thread.
 
I wouldnt even consider Black Ops if Bungie didnt take the month off in terms of playlist updates. I guess they decided to let everyone go and try to win them back next month which might work after you get killed for millionth time by an RC car tomorrow.

There was nothing to really update.

I agree with you corvin, hopefully it takes all of the whiners away as well.

Of course there is. Theres always something. They should always be shuffling in new maps, modes, and playlists.
 
I think there's been enough updates so far--more than most online games I've played over the first couple of months of release.

I'm tired of the game, but I'm not going to whine about it. I've put over 60 hours in which is a ton for me (as I said in another thread I think this is only the 5th games I've put 60+ hours into in 25+ years of gaming--though I have no idea how much time I put into things like fighting games on the SNES years ago etc).

So I've got my money's worth for sure. The Halo multiplayer just isn't really my cup of tea, but that's not worth whining about rather than just going and playing something else.
 
sweet deal, bungie confirmed that the jackpot earnings won't count towards your cR limit for the day. Tax free cR. haha...not that I've ever gotten the jackpot yet, but oh wellz.

What do you want? MLG? Griffball? Bungie has to wait on them to make the maps and all the fine tuning. More maps? We just got 3 new maps, 2 matchmaking and 1 firefight and we are about to get some DLC in a couple of weeks. Oh well some people just love to complain.

I'd answer that but then I would be whining so I guess I cant.

Fix spawns on the invasion maps that are in BTB. Removing armor lock from bomb gametypes. Balance invasion gametypes. Fixing the spawns on Pinnacle. Fixing the hiding/unreachable spots in infection. Adding actual good community maps and remakes of old maps. Adding a Rocket Race or Actionsack playlist. There's plenty more people would like to see as well.
 
Got the weekly challenge done in 6 minutes. I was lucky and got a checkpoint where i was nearly aiming at the elite you assassinates head, so i would snipe him and reload last save, and repeat. LOL All i need is the revenge challenge which shouldnt be hard.

Im 210,000 cR away from general, but i just got ghost of sparta, and black ops is coming out tomorrow. So i might not hit general for a while. Kind of sucks since im so close.
 
@Kael - You forgot Fiesta. ;)

Was nice to see some easy challenges today (and for the week). Finally got up to major.
 
hmmm, for some reason not every shot to the elite's head on heroic kills him with the sniper rifle...I must be aiming at something that the game doesn't consider it's dome. [apparently back of the head does not count, figured out to go and shoot splitface in the jaw frome the side). I did notice that if you save and quit and do something else...your progress resets so it's best to do that one in 1 sitting.

as for complaints? respawning in SWAT way to close to the other team over and over and over again.

I thought they fixed respawn in invasion?

[quote name='mickeyp']I was wondering if the actual game disc for Halo Reach looks the same in the regular version vs. the limited edition?[/QUOTE]

go on youtube and watch an unboxing video.
 
That seems to be the go-to excuse for whenever someone plays a lot better than someone else in any online game. Which, of course, is dumb, because playing a lot does not ensure you're a great player. I've played this game way more than I should have, and I am by no means a dominant player. Yeah, I have games where I get like 25 kills and 3 deaths. Then, I'll turn around and have one with a -10 spread.
 
Wow. Can't ask for an easier 9,200 CR than the challenges today.

Two games of G-Poc, 1 round of Rumble Pit Slayer Pro and load up Nightfall and shoot the elite at the start in the head, revert to last save and repeat 70 times and all daily challenges and the weekly challenge done.

Got me up to Major Grade 2.

I always do the sword base trick when its a "kill XX amount of enemies in any reach mode". Which saved me from playing g-poc more than once today. I also shot the elite in the begining of the level, then restart from last save, only took 6 minutes to kill him 70 times.
 
Yea, I saw the challenges today right before work. Looks like I will be hitting Major Grade 3 tonight. Hopefully close to getting Lt Colonel soon.

Anybody getting the DLC on Novermber 30th? And was there an annoucement for the achievements yet? Sorry, on my work computer and can't pull up most of the gaming websites to find myself.

I'll definitely be getting the DLC. Someone posted the achievements earlier in this thread. They are:

- getting a double kill from the grave
- getting a double kill with the shotgun
- destroying a vehicle with armor lock
- killing someone in Rocket Race
- something to do with invasion
- killing someone with the DMR from a "long" distance
- collecting all the flags in Stockpile

What really annoys me is that I've done most of these recently, and I know when the DLC comes out, it will take forever for them to happen again.
 
[quote name='The 7th Number']LOL @ Kill 100 enemies in matchmaking, and kill 150 enemies in matchmaking in the same day.[/QUOTE]

I'm going to guess either the challenges are on a randomizer and it came up this way or 150 or 100 was supposed to be enemies in any game mode. No complaints here.

unless getting all the achievements is a race, i'm pretty sure you can get these again soon by just playing. the only one I thought that would be annoying and challenging would be the stock pile one...but i dont think they said if you needed to collect them from 1 matchmaking game or just in general. The rest will just happen from grenade spam, SWAT, and BTB.

I'm getting the DLC, hopefully with the 800 ms rewards points that most of us have coming.
 
destroying a vehicle with armor lock
Click to expand...

I wonder if the vehicle has to be occupied by an enemy combatant, or if you can just go up to any random unoccupied ghost and destroy it with the AL.

I think, for average players, the only way to get the stockpile one will be if you get lucky and 2-3 people drop off the other team. :lol: Since there is an achievement tied to it now, I doubt that will happen though.
 
you know according to the wording, you could probably just have your teammate get into a ghost and ram you while in AL. Doesn't say destory an enemy occupied vehicle.
