Halo series - Crimson Map Pack out now!

[RuNNing Riot]

Bungie will ban you for boosting achievements so I wouldn't do it.

If you knew how much my brother can scream when he's ****ed, you wouldn't be saying that. I am not making this up.

A lot of people really don't like Orbital because it's too twisty, I think. It's gay because the real worst map of the map pack is Heretic. But still, good luck trying to get those achievements.

Maybe he should calm down and realize that it's a video game and achievements mean nothing in real life. Just saying.

Dayyyyyyyyyyyum! Get eeeem!

I'm bout to play some reach this weekend. I'll hit people up for some games.

 

[The Real Gamer]

What is up with the number 47??? I can NOT get past that level. Too many 50s in Lone Wolves.

Here's to hoping people won't be this good when Reach comes out.

I JUST GOT BANNED FROM THE BETA! but how?! Can it be reversed, I want to play, but I've been banned? why?!! (starts crying)

First account I've heard of getting banned from the beta, do you have any idea why? It makes no sense for Bungie to just "ban" you from the beta if you didn't do anything to deserve getting banned...

Nope, Bungie never reverses bans.

 

[Charizard92]

Nope, Bungie never reverses bans.

I was banned for quitting too early too much. They left a warning, and lifted the ban (fortunately it was only a few hours[ so you were wrong]). To prevent this, I put a sticky over the start button saying NO. (inspired by Apollo 13).

Had some time playing SvE slayer, lost all times, mostly as Elites (my team, however, did quit Early)

 

[RuNNing Riot]

Of course he should. Trouble is, when he's acting like this, things start getting a little... difficult. :embarrass

It's hilarious to just sneak into the room and leave my iPhone recording the sound, though. Lots of lulz.

Why did you quit early so often? That makes no sense

Haha, that video. Too bad it's fake. You should post the audio clips here!

You don't know if it's fake. I like to think it is, just so I know that there are worse temper tantrums I can throw when I do get ticked off. And I probably wouldn't put the clips on - usually I just delete them afterwards. And I don't have a clue how to get the audio on here anyway.

Totally random, but what's your favourite reloading animation in the game? Mine's probably the AR, when it's a dry reload. It's got some nice sound effects to it.

EDIT: You turned your avatar into that of that new Grass-type starter. Wat.

 

[Charizard92]

Err, never thought of it, I was busy thinking of gametypes, like these:

Mixed species slayer:

With the introduction of differences between Spartans & Elites, and species vs in two solid game modes along with a Grab bag game type, the next logical step is to mix it up! Both species can be on the same team, and one can alternate between the two! Elites have one set of Loadouts, and Spartans have another. IT'S GENIUS!

Werewolf:
Yes, The remainder of my Ideas effectively classify as infection gametypes. In this one, one starts out as an Elite, while the rest are spartans. The elite has extremely High health, so only a Headshot is going to kill it instantly. The Spartans have to whittle down the "werewolf's" health to kill it, not an easy task with ARs (currently this is my go to). The "Werewolf" is equipped with an energy sword, along with abnormal agility. The Elite will have an easy time picking off humans, but this isn't the case vice versa. The Last man standing gets a sniper rifle, easily capable of killing the "Werewolf" with a shot to the head, if he can make the shot...

Demon:
Essentially the above, but reverse. This time it is the Spartan who has high health & agility, along with the power weapon (this time a shotgun). The Elites, with only plasma pistols, have to hold him off until one gets a needle rifle to defeat him (again, last man, er, Elite standing).

And that's it. So... wait, the new starters were revealed?

(Five minutes later)

The fire type one is apparently a pig, ****

Generator defense has been added today. 3v3 and it's spartans vs elites. The beta will end on Wednesday.

 

[S l o X]

God dammit, I have yet to play Reach. Please tell me it doesn't close this weekend?

I've been obsessed with Reach and Halo in general since last month and don't have H3 or live.

If it doesn't end til next week then I'm definitely going over someones house to play, if not FML.

...did you even bother to read my above post?

 

[S l o X]

I didn't, I hit quick reply when I was on page 52 (40ppp) and went to another tab.

Thanks. >_>

 

[RuNNing Riot]

Generator Defence is just ridiculous right now. The Spartans spawn literally right next to the last generator, they get aerial ordnance closer to them, and they can frigging lock them down barely ten seconds after it unlocks. And they can spawn with a Grenade Launcher. But do the Elites get that... nooooo...

 

[Charizard92]

^ Dude, I have only lost a single round of generator defense, not Game, Round. To compound this even further, that loss was when I was playing ON DEFENSE. Some degree of tactical planing is required, as the spartans can't just defend one generator, they'll lose too quickly. The Elites can't bum rush either, they'll walk into a massacre. This is the game type where tactical planning comes in, something relatively foreign in Halo, and a welcome refresher.

 

[darksamus77]

Generator D does require a lot of tactical stuff, I find it very interesting, since both sides need to formulate a strategy to win...

Meh, one game while on defense 3 ordnance drops appeared right across from the bridge (2 near the bridge, 1 off to the left a bit)

 

[darksamus77]

Actually, I've seen about 50-50 Spartan and Elite victories when I played 10-12 matches in a row...

 

[Charizard92]

Ditto, although the first were from my own team.

And then the losing started...

 

[F8AL]

I should probably play some of that generator playlist today before the beta ends tomorrow. Does anyone know what time it'll end tomorrow?

AWESOME! That means one more day of the beta! Hooray!

 

[F8AL]

I played a few games of the generator gametype. I've only won as the elites once and won all the times I've been the Spartans. Kinda annoying that u can just keep locking them down tho. Meleeing them is pretty effective.

 

[UltraPuff]

Aw man, I'm disappointed to see the beta go.

Invasion has to be my favorite gametype... mainly because it had the only map with vehicles. Speaking of which, what does everyone think of the new health system for vehicles?

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

Short summary of most things:

Invasion: Amazing. I hope to see more maps with it (which I'm sure there will be) and maybe it get a little more in depth. I wish they could do something about either team getting the others' vehicles. (outside of hijacking)

Basic Slayer: When frags get weakened, it'll be amazing.

Juggernaut: Fun as hell. Always has been, always will.

Flag banking game of stupidity who's name I don't care to remember: ...yeah.

Headhunters: Incredibly nade-spammy, and overall just luck based. Idk how many times I would almost make it to a base, just for it to move, or how often I would see someone spawn right next to the zone.

Covie Slayer: LOVE IT. DO-A-BARREL-ROLL! has never been more heard in a game since star fox.

Generator Game: I didn't get to do much with it, I was busy pretty much the entire time it was out, but I LOVED the map it was on, favorite map without a doubt.

Slayer pro: They pretty much wrapped up what MLG will be. And I like it.

Overall, once the little things are fixed, I have no doubt that this won't be the best game of the year.

With the beta over, idk what I'm gunna do now =[

 

[O D I N]

Back from Japan. It was awesome.

On topic. Sad I missed most of the beta, but there were more pressing matters.

Invasion was probably my favorite gametype next to headhunter. Got a Skullimanjaro once too (for playing for only 4 days, that's pretty good in my book).

Headhunter never appeared for me. Even if I searched in grab bag, it never popped up.

Yea I thought I heard something like Skullimanjaro once while I was playing

Headhunter's a FFA mode, not grab bag...

Well then, I never played FFA in the beta.

I only play FFA if I have/had no one else to play with.

Halo: Reach is dropping September 14th.

EDIT: Here's Your Special Launch-Day Halo: Reach Hat

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

meh, don't care for it much, but i'll have it none the less, lol

 

[O D I N]

Safe to say I'll have it.

I'm GUESSING that that.... that... 'dish'... will be part of the full version. So Recon can be had without dish.

 

[rhan]

I didn't get to test the beta...

I heard I missed out in the next best thing to sex..

I wouldn't go that far...it was cool and fun, but I don't think any game deserves that status, especially a beta...
