Halo series - Crimson Map Pack out now!

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Daily challenges can all be done in gruntpocalypse. Yesssss.

 

[:mad:]

It was so amazing. When someone fires a rocket at long range, you can armor lock and laugh in their face.

 

[PowerBomb]

So I have a question.

Is bungie still resetting ranks/credits/armor? Two of my friends have been boosting non-stop every since bungie resetted those 15k people or w/e.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Why can't this happen when we play doubles? :/

Because I removed you from my friend's list and blocked communications, that's why.

 

[rhan]

Ouch.......

They only reset you if you did that thing where you unhook your ethernet cable and can do the daily challenges over again. You won't get reset for boosting of any sort because bungie has no problem with "replaying your favorite checkpoints over."

Yeah, the Ethernet Cable thing is what my friends are doing. They've been doing it non-stop and haven't been reset. Is bungie just not resetting anyone until they do the next banhammer update?

 

[F8AL]

Dear random teammates:

STOP ****ING LEAVING!!!

That is all.

The 15,000 or so people who got banned were only part of a preliminary run (so the article says) so you're friends may not be safe at any time.

 

[Pluvia]

My friend and a group of his Xbox friends got banned from matchmaking for a week on Halo 3 for boosting achievements in Rumble Pit.

So yeah your friends are going to get banned and credit reset.

On a different note, 48/49 achievements **** yes!!!

Which one are you missing?

 

[Pluvia]

Buy something that requires Lt Colonel. A guy on my friends list, Oh My Days Man, has 1000 GS for Reach already and his game only arrived in the post 4 days after it came out. He had 288,000 Cr when I left his house tonight so it wont be long for him to get Heart Attack. He even managed to get all the Vidmaster achievements and once me and him complete ODST on Heroic sometime this month he'll be able to get that EVA armour for his avatar as he'll have reached rank 50 on Waypoint.

Also how did everyone do on the 11th mission? I killed 2 grunts then got grenaded by a stupid Elite.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Icy, could you at the least stop being so ignorant so that I can find out exactly why you decided to block me etc.? Imo you're going a bit overboard with this.......

Got my first overkill in this game, and completely destroyed.

 

[SnackAttack]

So I'm gonna get 720s at the end of the month instead. I hear the sound quality is quite good.

Anyone down to play tomorrow?

Aww, why didn't u invite me? I would have played D:

@snackattack: I might be on late tomorrow night

 

[SolarChimecho]

Rocket Race is ****ing crazy. I love the physics in this game.

Also, the campaign ending to Reach kinda made me D:

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

I have yet to play rocket race, usually no one votes for it :/

 

[Flashing]

Anybody else think invasion slayer on Hemorrhage is the most unbalanced variant yet? I mean for me I ALWAYS lose as an elite (inb4l2p) . But its not even because of the tank, its just because of the spawns and the loadouts. Spartans get pistols for their long range game while elites get zippo except..... a plasma pistol wtf? Also one of the spartan spawn points IS ON ONE OF THE ACTUAL HILL SPAWNS.

Meaning of course it means some good spawn kills for elites but when a hill is moved there, the spartans don't even have to move. They can just choose to spawn right on the weapon drop even if elites get it.

Besides that, multiplayer is legit dawg.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Herp.

I'll be on tonight, not tomorrow, and probably some of Sunday.
Going out with friends for the Saturday night machine, then Monday I should be getting my Turtle Beaches+Layton ;DDDD
let's make plans for the Team Swfffff

Imo Big Team Slayer on Boneyard is the most unbalanced variant yet. If you're red team, it's an uphill battle since blue team is able to spawn up top on the second floor of the "phase 1 invasion" building while read team only has one spawn, which is the phantom platform that is overlooked by the exit from the "phase 1 invasion" building. Was playing it yesterday w/friend and he was spawnkilling red team with a scorpion. Earlier we were red team getting spawnkilled by their scorpion.

Imo it's mostly a spawn point problem. It'd be a little easier if red team had another spawn area/point.

I'm off Sunday, so expect to see me.

 

[rhan]

I'm going to a 3v3 Halo: Reach tourney the 17th. Lol

People bout to get it in the butthole.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

One of the daily challenges is to get at least 23 kills in one game. Hope you're good at swat.

**** that.

Edit: Nevermind, got it.

[ThunderSt0rm]

@rhan: Don't worry you got dis

@banjo: lol nice. We should play later, I needs swat teammates D:

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

I'll be on later, but I'll most likely have a friend over which means I probably won't have a mic in.

Anyways, it's much easier to play swat with a party. I was going crazy earlier. Randoms are terribad.

 

[O D I N]

All right folks. Game has been out almost long enough to warrant a sig making... thing...

Get me a pic of your Spartan/Elite in a pose/action shot and I'll sig it.

If we are still doing the Gentleman of SWF, make sure your pose is 'Gentlemanly'.

I'll work on them as often and best I can. Remember, I'm playing this game too. >.>

But I'm bad at making my spartan do stuff like in cool pictures you see around D:

You could always just get a standing pose.

Hell, even if you get a good shot of an in game character. :shrug:

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

lol I'll do that then

 

[rhan]

Does it have to be "gentlemanly"? lol

I just want a kick *** pose.





With a hat on...





And a monocle.

 

[O D I N]

Whatever you want.

 

[smashman90]

I finally reached Lt. Colonel today and now I got all of the achievements.

 

[O D I N]

Grats. I'm Major Grade 3. Can probably hit Lt. Col. tomorrow.

 

[Pluvia]

I'm only half way through Captain Grade 3.

Anyway the daily challenges today are easy. I only need to get 2 assassinations in one match (easy) and 6 more assists (also easy). Armour Lock in Big Team Elite Slayer = ****.

Halo: Reach Gets Campaign Matchmaking Oct. 19

http://kotaku.com/5659797/halo-reach-gets-campaign-matchmaking-oct-19

Campaign matchmaking playlists will come to Halo: Reach on Oct. 19, and the game's rank cap should get raised sometime in the month or so, Bungie said yesterday in its weekly update.

Also, "It's our hope to roll out a dedicated Infection and Snipers playlist amidst a slew of other changes."

Regarding the rank cap, right now, everyone's limited to Lt. Col. Grade C, although credits still accrue beyond that rank. When the cap is raised, it's possible some players will immediately gain more than one rank based on how many credits they've earned.

 

[:mad:]

So as it turns out, you can't get the Gold Visor until you hit Colonel which is a good 400,000 credits away.

Since I'm a Lt. Colonel, I'm going on a buying spree.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Just started solo'ing Legendary on Friday and I was only able to get past the first 2 levels before I did something else... I swear it takes at least a good hour or 2 on each level.

 

[F8AL]

God, I hate Spire so much in Halo: Reach. It's worse than Foundry in Halo 3.
