Halo series - Crimson Map Pack out now!

[RuNNing Riot]

Spoiler

The 4 hunters in that night club I just sprinted past all of them.

lol, I never encountered that lot because I used an Easter Egg to spawn a bunch of Brutes and Grunts instead.

Spoiler

And what an Easter Egg, too. Pull it off correctly and you'll find a Brute rockin' it out on the DJ console and Grunts 'dancing' using their 'hit' animations when you enter that nightclub. Go Bungie!

 

[F8AL]

This is for any silver members here:

[smash brawl player 99021]

I'm not even going to attempt soloing the campaign on legendary. I don't think I'll make it.

I've started tonight.

1.4 hours for Oni Sword Base.

****.

Rofl, I'm still laughing at 2-3

How to do this? :D

Icy and I pulled off the win of the year against some campers in Team Doubles.

2v2 on Powerhouse, we get invisigay and hide in the shower for a good 12 minutes. One guy looked right at me and I guess my blue blended in with the shower or something and it ended up being 0-0. I messaged them after saying "Where were you guys?" and named it Deltacod <3 in the fileshare.

Oh and you rank up so slowly I hate it.

 

[SnackAttack]

So, can some of our SWF elite give me some tips here?

It's not so much DMR related, but just gameplay in general.

Whenever I get into a fight, I try to strafe and headshot. Are there better options in your opinion? Also, what's everyone's favorite armor ability and why? What's the best in your opinion?

Favorite maps?

 

[smashman90]

Just play Gruntpacalypse, you get credits easily and you rank up fast. It helped me reach Warrant Officer Grade 2.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Oh and you rank up so slowly I hate it.

This also applies for points and unlockables. This has a good and bad side.

1. It means more replayablility
2. It means a long *** time trying to unlock everything

At least getting points won't be repetitive. Between Campaign and Multiplayer, there are plenty of ways to rack up points. AND while you're trying to rank up, you're still getting points so at least you're getting rewarded even if you lose the majority of your matches, unlike Halo 3 where you get nothing but a de-graded rank and added frustration.

Bungie has a pretty good system going, imo.

The hell is gruntpacalypse?

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

The hell is gruntpacalypse?

Firefight but with only grunts. Go into cooperative in matchmaking and play score attack, then you'lll find various firefight gametypes to play by yourself (one of which is gruntpacalypse). I usually get around 1000cr per game so it really helps out.

So I herd:

jetpack abuse >>> invis abuse

Want proof? Check my fileshare tomorrow for a lulzy game of doubles.

Oh, and check my fileshare tomorrow if you also want to see the single most hilarious assanation ever.

 

[@TKbreezy]

SO i beat legendary (with 2 friends)

Spoiler

was master chief supposed to make a cameo because i totally didnt see him

 

[RuNNing Riot]

How to do this? :D

Since I'm on my phone I can't link to a Youtube vid of it (if there are any), so this will have to do.

Spoiler

On the mission with the Falcon flying, when you get tasked with the mission in Club Errera (they're given to you in a random order, for the curious), head instead to the hospital. To the left and below of that building, there'll be a quarter circular brace between it and another building. Land on it and run to the end not connected to the hospital and you'll find a button. Press it and then you'll find a party going when you go into the nightclub.

And there's more! Once you've triggered that, you can head to the roof of the club and find another switch that changes the music.

Probably gonna try Gruntpocalypse a lot more after what you said, btw.

Sounds like you're DMR/NR ing right. Not much I can offer here, except you're using the DMR/NR. Good man.

My favorite AA would have to be Sprint. I enjoy getting around quickly, and find it the most useful. Second would be hologram.

Favorite maps? Almost everything>Paradiso. T_T

Will edit this post at work.

He makes an appearance at the end if you hold right (on left or right stick, don't remember) on the stick during the scene where you give the Package to Keyes. He's in Cryo.

Oh joy! We'll see a bajillion people using a shotgun today...EDIT: Ah, FF matchmaking. Nevermind then.

And Sticky grenades? Mother@#$%er please. I'm trippin' sticky grenades.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Yup so I beat Legendary.. Again some frustrating parts, but overall not too bad. Would do it for someone if they paid me enough.

Funny, was doing matchmaking and found two guys I knew irl, proceeded to do some big team battles and destroy in SWAT later on, weird cause I hate SWAT.

I already knew that I was bad at sniping.

*shrugs shoulders*

Free shrugs?

Check my fileshare for that assassination clip I mentioned. Labeled "Space Ninja". Dunno if I can get the jetpack clip (cuz my friend won't send me the game film >_>)

 

[RuNNing Riot]

****, I think I just realized something important.

Spoiler

Reach takes place both at the beginning and end of the main trio of games. Most of it's obviously before Halo:CE, where you're fighting as Noble Six, but at the end when you complete the final mission after the credits, the cutscene after it is labeled as being in the year 2589. That's 37 years after Halo 3. And it also looks like that means Halsey left the Shield World at some point between then, since she sounds like she's reminiscing on N6's sacrifice.

Halo is amazing.

Go read Ghosts of Onyx.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

lol I figured it had something to do with something I haven't done yet

It won't give me the "If they came to hear me beg" achievement when I complete it

HALP

 

[O D I N]

Are you still sprinting after you jump off? Cause that makes you invincible ish, which won't count. You have to remember to turn it off when you jump. Remember, needs to be a fatal fall.

So I've heard. Haven't done it yet myself.

 

[rhan]

I don't think my Mic works... lmao

So Tuesday who's down for some Swat? :D

That's like my only free day this week...

*Must be done on Normal or higher difficulty*

The easiest level to get this done on is right at the start of Pillar of Autumn. At the start, you will come to the edge of the cliff. If you look down, you will see a semi truck on the left and a car on the right. Between the semi truck and car, you will see a elite and three grunts. As soon as start the mission, Emile will say, "Race you to her". The Elite will back up and put you in reach to hit him.

*Sprint off the cliff, and immediately hit to stop the sprint*.

As you are falling, fall on his back. Just before you hit him, hold down to perform the assassination. This may take a couple tries.

You must stop the sprint as soon as you jump. The game still thinks you are running and doesn't recognize that it would be a height big enough to kill you.

[rhan]

Did he really just like stomp on the Elite's head??

That was so ****ing EPIC!!!!

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

@f8al: I have done EXACTLY what he did and still haven't gotten the achievement to register D:

Worst part is I managed to do this for a friend yesterday easily >_>

 

[The Real Gamer]

What happens when you get all of the achievements in this game anyway? In Halo 3 you got the Katana Sword. What do you get in Reach?

 

[Pluvia]

Got home tonight, rearranged my delivery for tomorrow.

Still haven't played this game since those 5 games of beta I got to play. Still know nothing about the campaign.

I think it's going to suck that I'll run into a match and not have a clue where to go in a level whilst everyone else will know all the camping spots or where all the good weapons are. Plus less people will be playing Firefight and Campaign.

 

[F8AL]

I've already gotten all of the Firefight achievements so all I have to work on are the campaign and multi-player ones.

Halo: Reach Campaign Matchmaking To Begin Early Next Month

http://kotaku.com/5642276/halo-reach-campaign-matchmaking-to-begin-early-next-month

Expect the playlists to come in early October on the first matchmaking update for reach. Other game types and Forge maps will be available as well.

 

[SnackAttack]

I'm glad to hear about the playlists.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

**** I hate going into everything and it's SWAT SNIPERS SWAT SWAT SWAT SNIPERS SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT. I just played Headhunter last night for the first time (Cause it actually won) and it was fun as well. Territories was fun but everyone complained cause they had to work together.

SWAT needs its own section cause if you want to play Modern Warfare, go play Modern Warfare.

 

[:mad:]

Killtac in Multi-Team. Icy and I are soooooo good.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Personally, I like swat, just because it takes some of the frustration out of shooting a guy a million times with the DMR and still not killing him. Although it is like call of duty at some points, I think it's fun.

My least favorite is team snipers. I'm not going to go on a rant about it, but I can say with confidence I absolutely hate it.

 

[Pikaville]

If your using the DMR, like the BR just always aim at the upper chest/neck region.That's the biggest area to aim for and you can get the last headshot really easily.

I have 7 hours to finish campaign, anyone wanna help me out?

 

[OnyxVulpine]

I mean it's fun sometimes, but I don't want to play it 80% of the time I go into slayer.

And I have yet to play a regular Invasion game yet, everyone votes for Invasion Slayer.

Hah, was in another Halo thread elsewhere and someone said they liked the commercial and they felt bad for the guy who got shot. So I said it's actually a girl. They said they didn't know anything and said they are a PS3 owner... Uh.. I'm a PS3 owner as well? What's your point? Better off saying "I don't own a 360" not "I own a PS3".

Also my brother played for the first time last night "This game confuses me, they should have kept it like Halo 3. My conclusion is I don't like this game cause I can't kill anything." Told him not to spam the trigger but he does anyway. After he gave the controller back I continued to dominated with the DMR.. Really not hard at all to wait and aim haha.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Finally finished campaign on legendary. :D

And Pinnacle is the worst map bungie has made in forge world/altogether.

Just so we're all clear,

We all need to start playing in parties more often. Full teams of 6 for Invasion or 4 for Slayer would be fun.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Swat sucks large amounts of phalus.

If I wanted to play *who sees who first wins* I'd play Hide and Go Seek and have a better time. The shields thing helps reward better shooters, imo.
