Halo series - Crimson Map Pack out now!

[smashman90]

Yes, Waypoint is actually useful from time to time. Shouldn't be too hard to get some of the armors.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Doesn't really matter how much you use waypoint, its free so you technically already got your money's worth from it. I usually use it when I want to update it with my recent achievements to see if I get any rewards. I used to use it to watch Halo Legends episodes, but sometimes I would miss the episodes when they were on so I just bought the DVD instead. Plus, like Smashman said, you can get some armor for Reach from Waypoint, so considering its free, I'd say its fairly useful.

Halo: Reach Matchmaking Gameplay Episode - 002

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHUxRf_WNC8&feature=sub

Game looks awesome! Can't wait till Tuesday.

Reminds me of when I used to play Halo 3 a lot and say in the mic "VETO! VETO! VETO!" and I got kinda excited when he almost died. xD

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

VETO FOR BRS!!!!! owait..........

lol anyway I really liked Slayer Pro when I played it in the beta. Looking foward to it :D

 

[F8AL]

If it ain't BR starts, I ain't playing it! I hate AR spawns...

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

lulz

imma play some odst to get the few acheivements I still need.............

(still looking for people to help out with annual sometime :D )

 

[Master Xanthan]

If it ain't BR starts, I ain't playing it! I hate AR spawns...

What was so bad about it? It usually wasn't too difficult to find a BR(or in some cases a covenant carbine) on the map.

 

[F8AL]

Just curious, what are your top 3 Halo 3 multi-player maps?

Mine are (in no particular order):

Guardian
The Pit
Vahalla

What was so bad about it? It usually wasn't too difficult to find a BR(or in some cases a covenant carbine) on the map.

BR starts is the best. All my teammates steal the BRs at the spawn. BR > Carbine.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

I like:

Guardian
Pit
Foundry

Guardian da bess

BR starts is the best. All my teammates steal the BRs at the spawn. BR > Carbine.

This.

 

[F8AL]

^
Ugh, Foundry? IMO, the worst Halo 3 map. (Bungie also made an alternate version of Foundry, I forgot what it's called. Something hammer or something like that)

Anyone here play Halo 2 online? I remember getting pissed at people using the ****ING noob combo. (Plasma pistol + 1 BR burst to the head = kill)

EDIT: Bungie's Halo AI secrets exposed in technical review

[ThunderSt0rm]

Well I don't like Valhalla, ESPECIALLY if it's not BR spawns >.<

 

[F8AL]

Anything which isn't BR starts sucks. And I just remembered the map name: Smashed.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

What's the Reach bundle? Cuz all I want is a Xbox Pro and Reach. If it's going to be like an Elite I could care less for all that.

If I didn't have a 360 and I didn't plan to get the Legendary Edition I'd totally get this.

I heard it makes the overshield sound when you turn it on.

Also, I've seen lots of gameplay and for the most part it's Assault Rifle starts, but you have the pistol as well which is about just as powerful it just has a smaller magazine.

But there is Slayer DMR game type which is pretty much just all DMRs and Pistols.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Its 400 bucks though. I mean its a really good deal if you plan on using a lot of the memory in the 250 gb hardrive. But if you're planning on getting only a few games here and there you might as well get a cheaper console.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

I really need a bigger hard drive though.. I've had to delete so much DLC when I get a new game.

Also I really want to install games to the hard drive.

Need a job soon. I don't even have all the money to pay for my Legendary Edition, gotta borrow some.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

What does putting games on the harddrive do? Faster loading times?

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Generally yes, some people also say it puts less strain on the DVD drive so less chance of it breaking down.

Most new games get some benefit, but old games like either get no benefit at all or like Halo 3, actually reduce loading times because the game was optimized to play off the disc.

This^

I love spawing with AR cause then I go grab a BR and **** everyone on the map. Cuz I know they got nothing good to fight back with.

Mine are (in no particular order):

Guardian

Vahalla

Mines...

1v1

Guardian.
Heretic. (Starting plasmerz <3)

Team

Valhalla. (Quick Sniper <3)
Construct.
Pit

*pic*

If I didn't have a 360 and I didn't plan to get the Legendary Edition I'd totally get this.

I heard it makes the overshield sound when you turn it on.

That's sooooo much for just one person. I could careless for memory.. I only need one controller. I don't want that kind of Xbox. And I only want the game. lmao

400 is a little much. I'mma cheapo.

 

[F8AL]

Installing Halo: Reach on your 360's hard drive will shorten load times. Bungie already said so.

Too bad I can't install any games on my 20 GB HDD...(more like 12 cause 8 GB is already taken...)

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

So is anyone playing the Halo:Reach thing on Mountain Dew and Doritos? I just entered 8 codes.

If you don't plan on entering and happen to come across a few codes, you know who to give em to <3

This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Care to elaborate?

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Mountain Dew is doing some sweepstakes thing, buy a Mountain Dew that has a code on it (I think, it has to be Reach themed as well), enter it in the site and you can enter those codes to win some stuff.

I hardly buy or drink the stuff so none for me. To my knowledge they didn't make any new flavors, just themed different ones with a different member of Noble Team.

 

[Pluvia]

My order was dispatched yesterday.

To bad I'm off on holiday tomorrow so wont get on it until the 19th.

 

[Pikaville]

One of my friends is having his own launch party.

16 people, 4 teams, and a race to finish the campaign 1st.

I might get this after further consideration, the forge just looks to **** good to miss.

It hasn't changed. It's still "Tornado Aido".

 

[O D I N]

It hasn't changed. It's still "Tornado Aido".

I guess I never added him. @___@


Still, I need to cut down my Friend list. I know a bajillion of my SWF buddies are gonna be all like,

"OH O D I N!!! Friend me and we can play teh haloz together!"

Probably not like that... but I do look forward to playing Reach with you all in a few days. :D

 

[OnyxVulpine]

You can now see all of the gametypes available on day one.

Hemorrhage and Paradiso in Invasion? You betcha.

O.O

I'm excited for Invasion Forge. THAT'LL be fun. :D

 

[Pikaville]

If I do end up playing this game online anyway, I'm only gonna play a playlist with pistols as a weapon.

The AR was a joke in the BETA.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

omg gruntpocalypse looks so addicting

 

[OnyxVulpine]

I'm glad there are actually people who talk about this game openly and don't have trolls and don't think the game is like THE BEST GAME SERIES EVER MADE.

 

[rhan]

Just pre-ordered for Reach... For my little bro.




He's going to have one hell of a surprise in the mail Friday.

Edit: Btw I think this is the most serious thread on SWF. lol I never seen a troll in here and everyone listens to everyone opinions instead of flaming people for thinking a certain way.

<3 you guys. <3

 

[smashman90]

OMGZ TEH HALOZ SEREEZ IS TEH BEST THINGZ EVAR!

Oh yeah, you can do custom firefight where your character can have infinite ammo, no reloading, and infinite health. You can bet your *** that that's gonna get abused for the Firefight achievements.

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

I drink a ton of mtn dew, so I'm all set =P


You all plan on playing at midnight right? Anyone going straight to online play? I'll have beaten the campaign by the end of tonight >=]
(or hell, i wouldn't even mind co-op play, i'll need to beat it on my xbox eventually)

 

[F8AL]

Well, if people post that kinda stuff, report it and I'll take care of it.

It's not like they can ban you for doing that. It's allowed. I can just imagine giving myself god mode and infinite bullets and spinning around killing everything. xD

Nope, I have school the next day (I'm in college) so I need to go to my 8 AM class...FFFFFFUUUUUUU

And my copy from Bestbuy hasn't shipped yet, I don't think it'll arrive till later next week...FFFFFFUUUUUUU (again)

I'm gonna jump into MP first to get a high rank then complete the campaign whenever cause it's always there for you.

Eh. I doubt it'll be that simple. Bungie'll probably make it so you have to do it in the matchmaking Firefight instead.

I haven't seen this list of playlists yet, could someone provide a link?

No you can do it in custom firefight, IGN made a video proving it. It's on XBL.
