Up to level 8 on Legendary now. Getting there...

Played a bunch of BTB too, so much fun. Did all my daily challenges and popped the cheev.

I cant believe I'm getting into a Halo game! Yeah Reach is awesome.

I told you that Reach is awesome...and system seller too

The widely-publicised launch of Halo: Reach helped double sales of Xbox 360 in the UK last week, according to official chart monitor Gfk-ChartTrack.

Bungie's shooter had a "marked effect on hardware sales", with Xbox "up 99 per cent" for the week ending 18th September, director Dorian Bloch revealed to Eurogamer this afternoon.

360 was the best selling console in UK before Reach btw

Finally beat it on co-op. Enjoyable. The second half of the game I found much more difficult than the first half. I'm on like mission 5 on a solo run on legendary but I'm not sure if I can stomach some of the later parts to finish solo.

Hey guys, if anyone sees this in the next little while, I made a map last night, and a friend and I tweaked it earlier today, and I'd really like to have a full group check it out. It's designed for 8v8, and right now we have five people. Just hop on, and join the game. My gamertag is tehjaybo, just come on in. It's been pretty fun so far, but I want to see it's full potential.

Yes, but I eventually got it. Not much to explain. Run, jump (tap LB again to stop Sprint), and hold melee as soon as you're about to hit him.

In terms of MP yes I find it much better than Halo 3.

As far as single player I also think its better there also although its not perfect when it comes to the sp. The single player will still wear thin as you get further in the game.

I find the arena is more challenging if I want a competitive game. Regular Team slayer seems to be a bit easier so I go there if I'm in the mood to do better.

The singleplayer is about as good as H3, maybe slightly better. Multiplayer is MUCH better than H3 (and H2 of course). It's almost on Halo CE's level.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #865 on:** September 22, 2010, 09:14:23 PM »

I'm calling it. Sorry but its annoying that Halo doesn't replace people on your team. I've tried to accept that this is the halo way but its bullshit. If Halo purists don't want that then give me a playlist where it does do it and then give a different playlist for the people who don't want that and still punish the quitters harshly.

Playing something like invasion without a party of people you know aren't going to quit is absolutely pointless. And why does it feel like everytime somebody quits your team the game has to go to a black screen for like 30 seconds. It should only do that if the host quits right but either I'm getting really unlucky with the host quitting or its doing it a lot during games. Like multiple times.

demi · « **Reply #866 on:** September 22, 2010, 09:19:07 PM »

Yeah quitters are a buzzkill. And if I quit then I get hit with a stick.

I just hit 100k... only 350 more

Multi is best of the series but I am not in love with the campaign. I did not like the dedicated vehicle sections and I would have liked more large scale stuff like the Scarab encounters in H3

Yeah. I think the thing about reach is that its mostly consistent which a lot of the rest of the halos aren't. There is no level in reach that I hate like in the previous halo games. But then there are levels in some of the other halo games that are better than anything in reach. Like taking down scarabs as you mentioned. So I like the Reach campaign mainly because its steady rather than spectacular. Its conservative but at least they didn't fuck up a part like in the other ones imo.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #870 on:** September 22, 2010, 11:27:02 PM »

Game rocks. Haters annihilated.

My gripes are consistent with Stoney - the servers should replace quitters like they do with Call of Duty. Also, I despise certain game types, and wish they were separated entirely into their own categories.

Single player is ace so far, a lot of polish. I don't think the big set pieces are the best stuff that Bungie has pumped out, but the level design is leagues better. I'd really like to see a re-release of the trilogy using the Reach engine.

They're both terrible. Slayer Pro, and to a lesser extent, Slayer DMRs are the only good slayer gametypes.

I do get sort of annoyed that some playlists are completely DMR heavy. I sort of like playing with the full Halo tool kit of weapons and armor abilities. Not just stripped down modes for MLG types. Of course offering more playlists would fix this issue imo.

SWAT was in Halo 3.

But I agree it is a nice change of pace from other slayer game types. I just get a bit frustrated when you constantly end up in SWAT or Snipers.

I'm sure Bungie will fix up the matchmaking eventually. I'm sure most people remember the overabundance of shotty snipers in Halo 3 I think when that first launched.

iconoclast · « **Reply #879 on:** September 23, 2010, 12:10:50 AM »

I don't like any gametype that has the Assault Rifle as the starting weapon, but I think everything in Arena has DMR start so I'm cool with team slayer having the basic ruleset and the unusual gametypes like SWAT and snipers. At least the pistol is pretty solid this time around; it's not on Halo 1's level, but it can still do some business.

I logged in just to express how much I fucking LOVE this game's multiplayer. I rolled into a Elite Team Slayer match where my entire team bailed on me and it was 1 v 4. I guess the other guys sucked because the match ended with me having 32 kills, 15 of which were melee. Even when I'm losing Reach's multiplayer is fucking AMAZING.
