Halo series - Crimson Map Pack out now!

[ZIO]

Three maps - 15 bucks. Nothing more.

When might we see added armory items? I know I read somewhere that it's impossible to do, but then I also read elsewhere that including more armory is being taken into consideration.

I'd like to choose the hope option. Hope that we could get more.

You must be confusing map prices with CoD.

Halo has a track record of 3 maps=$10.


I would like more armory options too. :<

GENTLEMAN!!!!

Let us arrange a Customs night...

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

@Odin Indeed.

I would actually like to see a dlc for the campaign.
I'm curious to actually find out if Jun survived or not.

 

[rhan]

Only survivor was Master Chief.

And in the end he's gone too.

 

[O D I N]

Only survivor was Master Chief.

And in the end he's gone too.

He's not GONE gone. Only Missing in Action. Just like everyone else...

Although he REALLY IS MIA... *IRONY*!

And Uh... Spoilers...

Spoiler

Bungie more or less confirmed in commentary for Reach:Legendary that Jorge 'could've' survived because it was a portal/rift, not a bomb. So he could be in the same state as the Chief. And Jun was never really declared dead, I think they hinted at him being alive too. But I think I remembering reading he was Halsey's escort to Red Team or something.

I mean, I can sit here and debate Halo lore all night. I could actually use some fun discussion like this.

 

[rhan]

MIA is pretty much stating he's dead. It's just a nicer and more hopeful way of saying it.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Master Chief didn't die, in the legendary ending he goes into the cryo(or whatever the freeze chamber is) He definitely doesn't die. At least not in halo 3.

 

[O D I N]

Yes and no. Well, wait. I don't know if you're referring to the books or not (For those tuning in, in the books, when a Spartan dies, they change their roster status to MIA. Keep up the facade that Spartans can't die).

But they left 3 REALLY open ended. He's not dead. He really is missing. I don't think we've seen the last of the Chief.

QFT. And yes, it is Cyrosleep.

That.He isn't dead. It's just nobody knows where he is.
I'm pretty sure Jorge is dead though.

 

[Velox]

MIA is pretty much stating he's dead. It's just a nicer and more hopeful way of saying it.

it's true. the logic goes that if they have something kill him what would be good enough a death for the great master chief after he's killed armys of covenant. Nothing would be a good enough death, and disease or great explosions would be kinda lame. This logic is common with great characters throughout the annals of writing, noteably Sherlock Holmes was done in similar ways, what criminal could kill the greatest detective of all time?? (course they choose an equally great criminal to do it but he ended up failing even though the aurthor intended to end him there)



Plothole: why didn't master chief have any armor abilities during Halo: CE? Did he suddenly lose technology?..




Also, did anybody respond to our fcwars.net request for teammates? It would be awesome if some good fellow smashers joined us in this competition!!!

Well... If you asking why Master chief didn't have any armor abilities from reach it's because they where prototypes. Just like the nade launcher.

 

[O D I N]

This, except for the nade launcher I think. I think the lore said it was an Army weapon, rather than Marine/Navy (which the chief is part of).


The Spartan III's were able to 'afford' more 'prototype' tech since they were:

A) Funded by ONI

B) Cheaper to make than Spartan II's

C) Their power armor was not MJOLNIR armor.


Okay, I kinda sorta BS'd my way on that last one. But I'm almost certain they're not MJOLNIR IV, V, or VI. Except for Jorge, since he's a Spartan-II, and he made a few 'upgrades' to it. Pretty sure his armor is Mk IV.

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

Finally went back to do the Fire Fight achievements.
Only 13 more to go.(I know I've been lazy)

Anybody want to play at some point this week?

Also Jorge's armor is MK IV

Maybe. I think I'm missing two/three FF achievements out of ODST.

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

Maybe. I think I'm missing two/three FF achievements out of ODST.

When I said that I didn't play for the reach FF achievement.
I meant that I only had 13 more to go overall.I was just asking if anyone wanted to play some Multiplayer.

I'd be up for ODST firefight achievements if you would actually want to do that.I haven't even touched that game on my new account.

Edit:Also according to Halo Wiki the bonus dvd that came with the LE of reach apparently
states that Jun is still alive.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Yea I think I'm still missing 1-2 firefight achievements in ODST too.

 

[ZIO]

I'm missing one achievement, and it's one from the Noble map pack. Something to do with, I think, collecting all the skull in a round of stockpile? Other than that, I got the rest.

BAM!!! SAID THE LADY!!!

March is when we get this bad boy. <3

 

[F8AL]

You heard it here first!

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

They look pretty good. The music helped with that a bit too.

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

I can't wait for those maps.

I really hope it doesn't end up like the Noble Map Pack and have one Map that gets voted over and over again....

 

[rhan]

I personally like the maps. I dislike how only 1 map looks Slayer legit.

 

[Pitzer]

Condemned.. Looks really legit

 

[O D I N]

Condemned.. Looks really legit

So much this. :D It looks SO pretty... Er... Manly. Awesome. >_>

**** it. Pretty. ^_^

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

It does look pretty

Never really been into Firefight though. I'll definitely play that map a bit though.

Also is it just me or is Bungie giving us easier Daily challenges every day?

I wouldn't know, but if they are, it might be to boost the number of players. Not sure how many people still play Reach online.

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

When I go on there's normally 140-150K people on which isn't all that great.
Then again I seem to be finding better players then when the game first came out.

I just played a hilarious game of BtB
One guy on the team went -2 and ended up betraying a guy with a warthog. Everybody on the team ended up just killing him until they racked up 20-25 kills.Then he dropped and we ended up winning.

I love Wraiths c:

 

[The Real Gamer]

So who all still plays this game? I need people to play with cause everyone on my friends list is on Black Ops.

 

[O D I N]

I haven't played in a while.

Not that I don't want to. I'm just kinda burned out on multiplayer atm (Black Ops... >_>) and I'm into Dragon Age right now. <3 I think DA2 is gonna be a purchase for me once I finish DA.

Anyway, I'd play customs if there's a large enough group. I frakkin' love customs.

 

[rhan]

Only custom I'd play is Grifball. I mainly just like playing straight up team games. Whether it's CTF or Slayer.

I still never got to play a CTF game yet in Reach.

I'm not really a fan of CTF. I always end up playing with the worst people who just end up betraying you as soon as you get the flag to the base.

I play the game at least a little everyday. Though I normally do play a while.

Customs are ok I guess.

 

[O D I N]

To me, customs are where the game shines. Custom made maps, game modes, games with honor rules to make a game work properly. <3

I just love how creative games like that can be. ^___^

 

[@TKbreezy]

Grifball you say?

 

[rhan]

If I can find some kind of way to hook my phone to my Xbox and use it as a modem.

I'd so be down.

 

[@TKbreezy]

Grifball would be the only reason I'd even turn my xbox on...lol

I've been playing LoL more than anything.

Halo Reach Defiant Map Pack is set for March 15th @ 800 points.

 

[O D I N]

I've seen some footage on youtube for Condemned. <3

It looks like a really fun zombie map if I get the right filters and such going.

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

I am loving the March playlist update.

I am so happy we finally got Community slayer.

 

[Master Xanthan]

I tried the multiplayer again, its not too bad, but free for all is really annoying when the entire lobby uses armor lock, just really slows down the game.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Both Armor Lock and Camouflage are stupid and slow down the natural pace of Halo. I'd have an easier time playing this game if those 2 abilities never existed...

And if the maps weren't so awful.
