quick million?

demi · « **Reply #963 on:** September 25, 2010, 11:30:15 AM »

Just go in the search and find one of the many gametype labeled "quick million in 20 min or less"

They set you up with triple shields, infinite rockets, and Elites/Hunters spewing out every spawn point. You can get every FF achievement

i honestly didnt know that about the dmr, if you havent read it yet go to bnet and read yesterdays weekly update where they talk about melee clanging, which i actually did figure out beforehand but its equally if not more useful than that

naff · « **Reply #971 on:** September 26, 2010, 01:42:56 AM »

wtf only 2140 people online?! Wanted to jump into a game this afternoon and it's been saying there's only ~2000 people online for the past hour or so. Surely this is some error? Don't think I've seen less than 100,000 people online since launch, no matter when I log in.

Raban · « **Reply #972 on:** September 26, 2010, 01:55:29 AM »

I saw that as well. When I hopped on at around 1PM PST, there were only ~500 people playing. That's fucking impossible.

naff · « **Reply #973 on:** September 26, 2010, 03:13:06 AM »

Good to hear it's not just an NZ thing, maybe everyones playin RDR for the Double EXP weekend, gotta get that Zebra Donkey

. Probably played enough of Reach this weekend anyway, spent 13 hours playing 16 player lan with friends on Saturday. So intense.

iconoclast · « **Reply #974 on:** September 26, 2010, 04:09:04 AM »

Yeah the player count is really messed up. But another thing that has been annoying me is Doubles Arena. If I search with a friend, it will never find a match. It will just restart the search over and over and over. Going in solo works though.

Bungie needs to fix their shit. Need to get my Doubles Arena rating before it's too late. $:-\$

Raban · « **Reply #975 on:** September 26, 2010, 04:24:01 AM »

what Bungie really needs to fix is the whole co-op 4GB issue. I want to get my Firefight on, baby!

naff · « **Reply #976 on:** September 26, 2010, 05:21:09 AM »

Yeah it seems everyone online is seein low player numbers, but I'm finding matches really fast so it's obviously not right. I've been playing doubles with a friend and I haven't had any problems so far. Maybe you've been unlucky? What's the 4gb firefight issue?

iconoclast · « **Reply #977 on:** September 26, 2010, 05:56:59 AM »

Nah, it's been that way for a few days. It's just impossible for us to get a match in Doubles Arena. It could be because my friend has a moderate NAT, but we played tons of matches when Reach first came out and never had any issues. Just from googling a little it seems to be a problem a lot of people are having.

Chinner · « **Reply #978 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:13:40 AM »

the problem is that you're playing arena, and its shit.

naff · « **Reply #979 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:15:51 AM »

I play doubles arena most days with a friend and it's awesome. I mean it's just 2v2 slayer but the 3 ranked matches per day and small team size makes it fun.

iconoclast · « **Reply #980 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:16:18 AM »

But arena is the only good playlist. Bungie should add some objective games like oddball and CTF into it though, slayer gets boring after a while.

Chinner · « **Reply #981 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:19:53 AM »

never going to happen, in one of the vidocs bungle were like "ARENA IS ABOOT KILLING" and then they jerked of into each others chests.

Not just Firefight. If you have the 4GB 360 slim, you can't do any online co-op. Bungie and MS said they were working on a patch, but nothing so far.

doing a solo legendary run. on the mission after Nightfall.

i'm going to take out the AA gun and the stupid covenant tank thing thats not a wraith hits my warthog and as i'm going sliding off the cliff the game decides this is the best time to checkpoint me.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #985 on:** September 26, 2010, 03:21:26 PM »

Really just an enjoyable game. Has that addictive quality that Halo 2 had for me and Halo 3 missed for whatever reason where you can spend an entire evening just playing and putting your brain on neutral and just enjoy. I'll definitely be playing this alot up until black ops comes out.

demi · « **Reply #986 on:** September 26, 2010, 03:23:59 PM »

Black Ops will just be like playing SWAT 24/7

iconoclast · « **Reply #987 on:** September 26, 2010, 03:31:21 PM »

I like how Bungie somehow managed to downgrade the theater. In Halo 3 you could watch a replay with a group of people, pause, rewind, fast forward, etc. It was great. In Reach, you can only watch it by yourself. Now it's worthless.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #988 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:30:37 PM »

Another tip. I was going into forge into the maps to try to remember where the weapon spawns are and I thought there must be something already on line that has done this.

So I found this.

lol. I dont remember any of the maps. I just run around and try to find something better than AR/Pistol

I fucking hate standing around in one spot. I dunno how people do it

The Sceneman · « **Reply #990 on:** September 26, 2010, 11:42:12 PM »

fuck this shit, I was halfway through the last stage on Legendary and the game ate my checkpoint, so I started from rally point alpha, thinking the game will know I did at least the first part lastof the stage on legendary. I beat the game and it's saying I havent beat the last stage on ANY difficulty. I have to do the last stage again on Legendary. Fucking broken piece of shit.

cool breeze · « **Reply #991 on:** September 27, 2010, 12:10:40 AM »

Were you dying a lot? I think it is one of those games that automatically drops difficulty if you're doing poorly.

demi · « **Reply #992 on:** September 27, 2010, 12:28:36 AM »

um no its not... lol

cool breeze · « **Reply #993 on:** September 27, 2010, 12:32:32 AM »

you sure? I was trying to get that "survive fall by assassinating elite" achievement on the last level. I kept trying, then it randomly restarted the mission entirely instead of only the checkpoint. The elite was a different color too. I assumed it just knocked it down to normal because it thought I was dying for real.

demi · « **Reply #994 on:** September 27, 2010, 12:39:16 AM »

It doesnt, I've died countless times on Legendary

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #995 on:** September 27, 2010, 05:41:15 AM »

i played multiplayer for the first time yesterday. was fun
i like dressing up my spartan barbie

iconoclast · « **Reply #996 on:** September 27, 2010, 08:26:51 PM »

at Bungie removing Slayer Pro from Team Arena. Slayer Pro gets picked over Slayer DMRs 49/50 times. And the only reason DMRs gets chosen over Pro is to avoid a bad map like Boardwalk. I swear they are the most distinguished mentally-challenged company to ever hold a big multiplayer IP.

demi · « **Reply #997 on:** September 27, 2010, 08:42:32 PM »

I think I just played a dude who is using a controller mod or something. He was firing DMR + Needle Rifle bullets way to fast

i was booking down a cliff on the map with the giant mountain in the center and i saw this dude just appear so I leaped off of a rock and melee'd when he got close. it wasnt until i pulled up the theater that i saw my dude did the flying knee. shit was so cash.

The first round of playlist updates, barring any unforeseen shenanigans, will go live on Tuesday of next week.

Here’s what you can expect when we pull the trigger:

Team Slayer
SWAT is taking one in the face (being removed) and the weighting for all other gametypes will be adjusted to fall in line with voting data. Expect – surprise, surprise – more traditional Slayer offerings to appear.

Team SWAT
SWAT gametypes that are removed from other playlists are being incorporated into their own, unique playlist with adjustments made to modes and maps based on voting data (farewell SWAT on Hemorrhage, you sucked and everybody hated you).

Team Objective
Powerhouse will now feature several more gametypes, including 1 Flag and Stockpile. Because Powerhouse is awesome and we don’t get to play it enough.

Multi Team
Rocket Race is being added. You win by staying on the Mongoose and racing to the checkpoints. (Oh, who am I kidding, you’re just going to hop off and try to assassinate people, aren’t you?)

Big Team Battle
SWAT and Classic are being removed and the frequency of Snipers is being reduced based on – you guessed it – voting data.

Arena Doubles
Boardwalk and “Pro” options are both being removed. Default Zealot is being replaced with Arena Zealot, a map variant which features modified initial player spawns and a soft-kill zone in spaaaaaace.

Team Arena
“Pro” options are being removed. Arena Zealot (details above), is being added.

Score Attack
Credit earn rates for Gruntpocalypse are being reduced to fall more in line with other modes.

General Matchmaking
Alongside the major alterations listed above, a myriad of much needed fixes and tweaks to the experience will also go into effect on Tuesday, including a metric ton of small, but annoying bugs and gameplay issues that we’ve identified and earmarked for eradication. As these updates go live, Jeremiah will publish the full details to our Optimatch forum so you can pore over the subtle nuances of each individual change.

Beezy · « **Reply #1003 on:** October 02, 2010, 10:26:24 AM »

Good riddance, SWAT.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #1004 on:** October 02, 2010, 10:30:22 AM »

Yep. I'd actually backed off playing a bit until this update because of SWAT and snipers.

There is another update coming later in the month.

Quote

The second salvo for October will include the fix to the current betrayal booting system, bringing it back in line with Halo 3 (three strikes and you’re out), and it will also introduce some significant changes to the Firefight experience, including the removal of friendly fire. Also on the way, a proper Team Snipers playlist, the possibility of a radar-less “Pro” experience in Season 3 of Arena, and more love spread out over all of our offerings, with a strong focus on Rumble Pit and Multi Team (all barring any unforeseen issues).

Already mentioned and still planned is the introduction of Campaign Matchmaking and some substantially awesome changes to the Firefight Matchmaking experience, the latter by way of cooperative multiplayer maestro, Larzy B. We’ll talk more about these updates next week.

Long story short, we’re evaluating all of our playlists and we’re acting fast to make sure feedback from voting data and the community-at-large is being evaluated and implemented.

iconoclast · « **Reply #1005 on:** October 02, 2010, 10:46:25 AM »

Hey guys, let's remove the only gametype anyone ever plays in arena! If they refuse to use our distinguished mentally-challenged abilities, we will take away their choice!

Raban · « **Reply #1006 on:** October 02, 2010, 11:47:05 AM »

Oh btw demi I was looking at your cheevos and I wanted to ask you; how did you get the cheev for saving yourself from a fatal fall with an assassination? That sounds fucking impossible to do.

It says "temporarily banned from matchmaking for quitting"

I need the 100 kill challenge too... lol. I just wanted to play some SWAT but it gave me Slayer DMR... so I quit

Raban · « **Reply #1019 on:** October 03, 2010, 02:16:30 PM »

ahahahaha

they really need to add an option for you to bail out during the map voting session, or just open matchmaking up a little more so people can come and go as they please.
