Halo series - Crimson Map Pack out now!

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Well, like most other games, this one is finally starting to make me angry.

I died 7 times in a row in Swat only because my teammates. Then I continued to get about 5-6 assists in a row from people putting 1 bullet into people I'd been shooting for ages, which always happens to me. And I'm going to scream if I die with full shields from a single grenade again.

Black ops please thxxxxbyeee.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

lol graveyard

and yea to play smash..I like to travel and see other brawl scenes and what not

Fayetteville right? You live in the same town my friend does. He was beast at brawl when he played it and even got an honorable mention on the NC PR by only placing 7th at herb2 (only tourny he's entered offline)

Anyone? Arena Slayer today? :D

 

[:mad:]

ARENA SLAYER IS SO DUMB THUNDER <c

 

[F8AL]

Just to clarify: Arena is ranked, correct? (Like, you actually get a level/number next to your name?)

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Today's challenges were ridiculously easy to finish. I'm about half way through captain grade 3, which still isn't as bad as warrant officer grade 3.

Also, I got a decent team snipers game today. Never thought I'd see the day.

I heard they are taking out SWAT in the october update. I agree, SWAT sucks, but reach hasn't even been out for a month yet, the matchmaking isn't going to be perfect.

You heard nothing! You read it.

Anyway, yes, SWAT is being taken out of Slayer/BTB and put into it's own separate playlist. Which is fine by me; I actually love SWAT. Have since Halo 2.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Well, I like Swat, but it's really frustrating sometimes when you do poorly. If I get killed multiple times in a row it always seems like I just can't get a kill, but I usually do really well in swat because it's easy mode.

I also find myself doing really stupid things when I play this game. I often just run out into the open and run into packs of people and then complain about it when it was really my own stupid fault. Halo is such a new game to me, and the whole teamwork aspect is annoying when you're playing with randoms.

Yeah, I hate randoms. If I'm in a randoms game, I lone wolf it up.

I even tend to lone wolf it in teams too, but I tend to shout stuff out/colaborate with my team.

 

[F8AL]

I hate Boneyard. Same for SWAT. Can't wait till they remove it from Slayer/BTB.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Honestly I hate team snipers more than anything. Though its not that bad on most maps, but lately most sniper matches are on paradise, and despite the name, that map is terrible(especially for 4 vs. 4) the map is just too big.

 

[F8AL]

Just beat the campaign on co-op with my brother on legendary difficulty.

44/49 achievements

 

[Master Xanthan]

You should do the campaign on legendary solo, its really not that bad, I mean even I was able to do it, and I'm honestly not that great at Reach.

Ah, that's good to hear. I plan on starting that this weekend. Wish me luck.

Ugh, I need some easy daily challenges. Nothing that requires hours of playing.

 

[O D I N]

I love the FF dailies. They're so easy. Today's wasn't terrible. Made me fall in love with Rumble Pit, and realize how scrubby a lot of those players are. Almost in the Silver tier for 'Rear Admiral' just from today alone.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to Major... :<

EDIT: 843 cR... FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Yeah it's really not all that hard.

I mean you might get stuck at some parts but you just have to be really cheap. Like if you have another Noble member, I always pushed them out in the open to soak up shots and take down shields.

B.net is full of tears. Delicious.

 

[Pluvia]

Hey everyone check out my file share. Download this clip.

I was like WTF? when that happened. Might even submit it to Anoj when he does best suicides.

Now are you working towards getting 100 assassinations or 1000 assassinations?

It's kinda weird trying to describe commendation ranks imo :/

100.

Spoiler

10 100 assassinations

 

[Pluvia]

I'm working towards 1000. Got a while to go seeing as though I only have like 130.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

I'm getting my firefight commendations pretty quickly. Some people just get to onyx and stop because they say it takes too long, but I'd disagree with that. Even in firefight, it's worth it to just keep playing to get the commendations, especially because in gruntpocalypse you make tons of credits along the way.

I've got basically all the campaign ones that are easy to get, so unless I get the sudden urge to beat it on legendary solo, I won't be playing that much. Daily challenges yesterday were cake, by the way.

Edit: Challenges today are even easier

Except for the jetpacking one... (O D I N is a bumper jumper... NOT jetpack friendly...)

On a side note, I don't see how Gruntpocalypse is so awesome. I love Sniper Attack though. Much better in my opinion.

 

[F8AL]

Ugh, I'm going for that achievement where you have to get one of your "Commendations" to a silver rank or w/e and it's taking forever. Any tips? Thanks in advance!

Oh and you'll love this...

Now, the exploit itself, if you've got the patience for it, that's fine. But 15,000 players have been found to have gone overboard on the exploit via "network manipulation and other easily detectable workarounds that fall well outside of standard gameplay", and every single one of them has tonight had their credit levels reset to a big fat zero, along with receiving a one-day ban on amassing any more.

Example: Going to your Xbox settings, changing the time and re-doing the daily challenges over and over to get Cr and ranking up. BANZORD'D!

****. I didn't know you could reset your time. :shrug: I wasn't go do it anyway, but that explains a lot. Glad those cheaters are getting what they deserve. :-P

I didn't have a hard time getting a commendation to silver. Just happened. I think my first was 'Dome Inspector' for FF.

Just keep at it, yo. Don't TRY for it. Just play.

The sad part is that those who got banned, blamed Bungie. Idiots.

Some hilarious thread titles on the Bungie forums:

"WHY DID I GET BANDE?"
"Halo: Reach sucks"
"I'm buying a PS3!"

Posts:

"If we got banned for this, can we still do the glitch?"
"It's Microsoft's/Bungie's fault for allowing us to do it..."
"I'M GOING TO BUY BLACK OPS!"

I'll bet one XB360 game that they're all terrible at the game and/or under the age of someone in high school.

I say that loosely, cause I know a lot of our battle bros are in high school. But the people I'm making a comment about are not as classy and cool as the battle bros we battle with.

 

[F8AL]

People should stop tea bagging when they're losing. It's embarrassing and idiotic.

Yea I agree with this. Bumper Jumper </3 jetpacks.

Battle bros?

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

I'm an Battle Bro.

Also, I learned the Needle Rifle sucks, and the DMR is much better is you shoot slowly.

<_>

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Swat on Hemorrhage FUUUUUU, proceed to get about 8 kills in a row
Get killed and hear the proximity voice of the guy who killed me "YEAH YEAH I GOT YOU" and then he shoots my body.
Respawn and push their **** in.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=149225659&player=vsupra123

I hate SWAT Hemorrhage but I can't complain with a 22-10 K/D spread.

Good thing it's being taken out, even though I'll hardly go into the SWAT playlist.

Also, when I play Slayer Pro I actually go toward Warden, the Needle Rifle seems to have a faster bloom cooldown even if it does a little less damage so I kinda like it. Also I prefer having STICKIES.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!

I love both the DMR and needle rifle, but between the two I prefer the needle rifle. I dunno why. But I do. But I pick Warden for the plasma grenades. So pro.

 

[Pikaville]

I'd just like to see a couple of "up high" spots be allowed(like buildings on boardwalk)

Or on top of the "bases" in cage

I disagree. It's still pretty accurate the needler rifle if you shoot quickly. And it has a bigger clip than the DMR. (I think)

Thing is, I used to do better before I learned it's Fully-Auto (or whatever).

Got Carter's Helmet.

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN

 

[Pluvia]

If you check Youtube you'll notice it takes 6 shots in the head to kill someone with the Needle Rifle but it can take up to 8 to kill them with the DMR.

Well...

Needle Rifle
5 shots to take down shield 1 to head
DMR
4 shots to take down shield 1 to head

I think both take the same body shots but I'm not sure. Needle Rifle is probably less at 3.

As the Needle Rifle potentially shoots a bit quicker they might be equaled out but I haven't tested them myself. Sometime in the future someone will probably test how long it takes for the bloom to get all the way down from one shot and compare them.

And did the P-Pistol get buffed from Beta? I started using it more like in Invasion and it seems as though like 3-4 shots take down the shield. Good for the ol spray and punch. Or it might be that I just shoot really quick.

Nice shots I got in 4v4 pubs. :D

Boardwalk doesn't need to be made even more horrible than it already is. Well, I've actually been doing alright with Boardwalk in slayer recently. It's just bad when it's in doubles.

Icy and I with those Thunger Combos in doubles today. Where u attttttttt

Yes.

DMR clip is 15.

Needle rifle clip is 21.
