XBox The Official Halo Reach Thread

Well no Busta all the armors have no effects but there are armor abilitys. So far Jetpack bubble shield that blows up when a ghost splatters you, roll, dash and more. Its gonna be really good dude. Also Busta Elites will be customizable in a completely different way than spartans according to the article. Still dude this Is what Halo needed!
 
It still seems really stupid to me. There should be a way of being put up against people who are the same level as yourself. You can't take it out because there are people who abuse the system. People will find ways to abuse any system. That's what cheaters are. That's kind of what they do. I'd be willing to bet everything I have to my name that there will be a way to abuse Reach's system, and people will do it. Like Busta said, there will always be people finding ways to ruin a legit gaming experience, but that doesn't mean you should punish everyone for it.

And, also like Busta was saying, people who buy the high-ranked characters (or however it works; I didn't realize people did this with Halo) because they can't get those high ranks themselves are kind of idiots. Sure, you've got a high rank, but can you play on it without getting pulverized? If you didn't earn it yourself, chances are that you can't. So what's the point in having it?

It still just seems to me like they're taking out the ranking system for all of the entirely wrong reasons. They're basically alienating people who would still like to play online, but aren't very good (like myself, if I did in fact even buy this game). I disagree entirely with this decision.
 
MAJOR HALO REACH UPDATE

Spartans and Elites are very different now and alot more things. Elites are faster now. The armor lock ability disables you when you use it. Alot more things Such as The 5 shot kill DMR is just as strong as the magnum. Elites have faster recharged shields and they have health in stages. Read the Full article

Here http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=25376 Contains SO MUCH EPIC THINGS
 
Load Outs are not player created or defined, but rather playlist and/or game type specific. Essentially, they allow you to choose your Armor Ability, your starting primary and secondary weapons, and your grenade cache on the fly.

For some playlists, that might mean every Load Out features the same weapon sets with only the Armor Abilities to distinguish them. For others, it might mean that as the game goes on, you’ll have access to more and more choices based on a number of factors we can fiddle with.

...I think I'm in love. <3333

The new Elite weapons look brilliant too. The Focus Rifle sounds like it'll be a lot of fun. A cross between the Beam Rifle and Sentinel Beam? Oh yes. And I love the way the Plasma Repeater looks. Can't wait to get my hands on that thing. :D

And Elites are actually bigger and faster than Spartans? BUNGIE, ILY. REALLY. <3
 
Well WHOEVER HAS ODST just letting you know the Beta is out for Halo Reach. May 3rd- May19th. As for my thoughts. only 2 maps so far and 3 playlists but its fucking fun. Really different from Halo 3. Armor ock is interesting as it negates all damage and can fool you into shooting the person using it. Jetpack makes you an easy target but still fun nontheless. Sprint is epic fun but it should be default xD Stalker makes you have camo for a litlle while. The new weapons are fun and some of my favs are the focus rifle plasma launcher and DMR. May 7th Boneyard the last map in the beta comes out along with the playist INVASION!!! OMG I CANT WAIT!! Also Generator defense comes on the 14th I think :hmmm: The graphics are AMAZING! Its more fast paced now though. Just be careful and most of ALL HAVE FUN XD

Also BONEYARD is the biggest map ever. I just can not wait

LOL I already have you on my list I think xD we could play sometime if you like Terra. Also you only can play as elites in slayer covvies so far. But that will change when invasion comes out :awesome:
 
I thought i was going to escape the nerds by playing this,there was this guy that was chasing me and betraying me for like 2 games,he was so annoying he was messin with me. freakin The Trusted X Marine

so about the beta,it was a good start,it will get better with new maps and maybe other updates,i was fed up playing this actually cuz im the one usually doing good in the team and the others have a score of 1-5 while mine is usually over 10.advice 4 me is to get some friends or my bro.
 
I just got back from playing the beta with some friends. It was a pretty good time. Favorite game types were probably Headhunters and Juggernaut. I like the game types where it's mass killing and such, except it isn't slayer... because I'm actually pretty awful at killing people.

The abilities were a neat addition, and I think well-implemented in that you can switch which ability you have every time you die, that way you can switch up your strategy or just give something else a shot for a little while. I thought I'd use the Guardian ability the most, but since everyone knows what it does, people tend to stay away from whoever has it activated. Or just stand a few feet away and watch them until their ability runs out, effectively making it kind of useless unless you're using purely to buy time and get your shields back.

Overall, pretty fun. I'm probably going to scoop it up just to play custom game types with my friends like we did back with Halo 2. Zombies is pretty much the best--and not the one they premade for Halo 3.
 
Can somebody change this threads title to Halo Reach please as it really isnt Halo 4 lol. Just a request :D
 
Im kinda glad that your record wont count when the actual game comes out,its cuz im sucking bad real time lately, i hate it that i get paired up with random nerds, i need my friends to form a decent team, and my bro.
 
NEW HALO REACH E3 2010 TRAILER INTRODUCES SPACE BATTLES

Dont believe me just check for your self



Lol wtf space battles in Halo is this star wars? wait the end of halo legends had this
 
/Revive

Halo Reach comes out in 4 Days! :awesome:

/Update

Forge was not that great in Halo 3. Only the people who had patience made awesome levels and such. But Halo Reach's forge is more different than ever.


Firefight from ODST is back in Reach of course and is better than ever. Spartans vs elites firefight is also new.



Noble team


What I say about Reach is that at least it wont require to win anymore to get exp. You now gain credits and buy your armor and such. If you lose you still get some. Halo Reach will create a new experience and not only shooting xD I see alot of people using forge and firefight which has matchmaking also. Also Campaign has matchmaking for the first time.

So yes all new Halo experience launching in 4 days :yay: Space battles will be campaign only of course xD

So Glad it will not be Halo 3 all over again :awesome:
 
Multi player is good. I rather like it with new style, but i wish i could use some of the older maps. Its also good that it has firefight, but i enjoyed the ODST firefight a lot more than the Reach one.

Finally, as a halo fan (yes, i have read the books. Lets move on), i am rather miffed about how it broke a fair few canonical things. It ruined what could have been a very decent game (for fans in anycase. For the casual, i guess it doesnt matter), but thats only for the campaign. That and the Falcon flying part. I hated it with a passion.

Yeah New Alexandria was a pretty long and painful level. Flying that falcon all the time :hmph: I will do the campaign alone on legendary sometime but damn I feel like New Alexandria was really hard on normal. Just imagine legendary.. Currently Major Grade II in Multiplayer. I fucking love it :awesome:
 
really? i just got it recently. i find it hard on normal too, but i do want to try legendary co-op. when you on? let see if we can multiplayer together.
 
The campaign is a bit shit. It took me and my mate about 5 hours all told to do it co-op (on normal though). We've started on legendary which is much harder. Elites are absolute bitches to fight on legendary.

However, I absolutely love it online. They've taken what made Halo 3 so good online and made the little tweaks it needed to make it better. My only problem with it so far is that there are only about 7 maps, but I suppose they'll end up releasing more for download soon enough.

me and my friends did a mission on legendary this morning with Mythic and Thunderstorm on

those bastard elites just wouldnt die D:

i think it took us about 5 minutes to kill one of them :gasp2:

I have to agree though, I'm not really feeling much for the campaign. It's not nearly as long or as immersive as Halo 3 and ODST's campaigns were.

the main thing i really like about this game though is the assassinations :wacky:

super circumcision castration assassination go :neomon:
