Too overpowered. They need to be taken back a notch or two.

Invasion mode is out and it's pretty fun

Bloodwake · « **Reply #423 on:** May 08, 2010, 12:21:58 AM »

I hate nerfed grenades and I love grenades that behave like a fucking GRENADE would if it goes off.

They don't need to nerf grenades at all. Honestly, in Halo 3, I just fucking quit using grenades if they didn't stick to people. It literally felt like a grenade would go off two feet away from someone and not fucking do shit. They would then rape me with the overpowered melee.

So, Bungie, keep it the fucking way it is. It plays like Halo 1 or 2. I like killing four people with one grenade. KEEP IT.

Invasion is meh, but then again, I started playing it when EVERYONE was like "how the fuck do I play this shit" so I am going to give it another shot.

More than 2.7 million people logged onto the video game "Halo: Reach," the upcoming prequel to the first-person shooter trilogy starring supersoldier Master Chief, developer Bungie Studios announced Monday.

Players collectively logged more than 16 million hours and more than 1.1 billion virtual kills during the 18-day public beta test of the game's multiplayer mode, Bungie said in a statement, adding the game will be launched worldwide on Sept. 14 -- except in Japan, where it will debut a day later.

"It's exceeded our expectations," said Bungie Studios community director Brian Jarrard. "Our only real perspective going into this was the 'Halo 3' beta test, which had about 800,000 people. We knew there were a couple million copies of 'ODST' out there, but we really didn't have any specific information that let us know what the population might be like."

It's a shame that you probably won't be able to use your maps in any form of matchmaking and they'll very rarely get played.

cool breeze · « **Reply #432 on:** July 23, 2010, 03:43:15 AM »

yeah, it would be weak if there wasn't an interface to search for custom maps and modes. At least they're allowing firefight to be done in matchmaking now and I hope campaign co-op and forge follow.

either way, Reach looks pretty crazy all around.

This. Which is my problem with the forge conceptually.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #434 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:53:07 AM »

They did a good job of including Sandbox maps in MM last year. And it seems they made it easier to share maps too, so even if you have to make your own customs it seems like it will be easy to spread them virally.

Don't get me wrong. It's better than nothing. And I wish more games had a forge like option.

I just wish there was some way to introduce the best stuff into a matchmaking context. When its limited to custom games with friends that introduces a high barrier of entry.

Hasn't been a good Halo in over a decade but that is pretty incredible.

It would be 20x better on PC, though

Yeah, Killzone and Resistance franchise is trash. They're just as bad as Halo.
The only good fps game series is Half-Life, basically.

The best stuff was put into matchmaking with Sandbox though. It can only improve from there with Reach IMO

Been on a Halo kick lately for some reason or another. Went through Halo 3 recently and had a good time so I then popped in Halo 2 yesterday but then I remembered how much I don't like Halo 2.....don't think I can finish it again. Anyway, Halo 3 (levels 3-7) reminded me how much fun this series can really be so I've gone back and rewatched the Reach campaign trailer again and now I'm fucking stoked. I've refound my Halo love. I even went to Walmart yesterday to put a preorder down so I could get that fucking DLC helmet that I'll probably never use.

Bring on September.

Play Halo 1's campaign instead of Halo 2's. You can lament the death of the three-shot pistol with me

These videos are mostly appealing to me on a nostalgia level. I remember playing these levels so fucking much back in the day.

Honestly the gameplay looks exactly like Halo 3 to me with a few of those special abilities. It's just looks graphically much better. But I'm fine with that I suppose as their final swan song to Halo. It seems fitting from Bungie to sort of turn it into a best of edition.

Although I hope when 343 takes over they aren't afraid to make bigger changes.

Wow, a single-shot, accurate BR? BR start? Health? Fall damage? Bungie might actually be able to top Halo 1

cool breeze · « **Reply #451 on:** August 16, 2010, 10:33:14 PM »

They're actually going back to Halo 1 in a lot of ways. Like, I thought dual wielding was the only big change between post-CE games and now they're taking that ability away for Reach.

It's pretty amazing how that backstory feature regresses before your very eyes. The first 2/3rds are slightly above-average-for-a-videogame-sci-fi and than the minute it reaches Halo 2 there might as well have been a marquee of

Ifyou go to TRU this week, you can get a card for Halo Reach that gives $10 off any Xbox 360 game. This coupon can be used multiple times.

If you can find any clearance games for $10 or lower, you will receive them for -free-. I am going to raid the two stores nearby before work in about... an hour

This. Once Halo 2 hit I never really understood what the hell was going on anymore although I still enjoyed the action in the games. One of the reasons I like the idea of Reach is them perhaps going back to a simple but workable story to follow. Are there any flood in Reach? I hate those damn enemies and levels that feature them.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #460 on:** August 17, 2010, 10:17:31 AM »

There shouldn't be any Flood in Reach since the Flood don't appear until after they find the first Halo.

Reach should be nothing but Covenant.

Looks like a fairly easy 1000. Kinda surprised there's an achievement for beating it solo on Legendary since co-op is a pretty big focus for Halo. Was planning on running through it with a friend or two when it came out, but I guess I won't bother now.

I played Halo 3 recently for the first time in forever and man I felt rusty. I couldn't remember the buttons even after many games.

I probably shouldn't even bother trying to practice on it since I heard Reach switches up some of the buttons.

Wow this game is good. Played it for about one hour at a friend's place. I already can confirm that this game is better than H3.

I still can't believe how bad H3 looked when it came out. I had to check out if I wasn't accidentally playing H2. But Reach looks really great.
