Okay 6 and a half hours logged (I am at work now lol) and it is a much better game than Halo 3.
mboojigga said:Installing a game to your Xbox 360 HDD can be quite beneficial for some games by decreasing load times but, in some cases, the game can actually take longer to load -- Halo 3. With Halo: Reach set to launch on September 14th, many may wonder if they should install the game on their HDD and invest 6.6GB of space so they can enjoy Halo: Reach at an optimal level.
We have conducted a test to see which option is better and help you decide if you should or shouldn't install the game to your HDD. These tests were conducted straight off the game's menu system with default settings in place.
Installed: Initial Load Screen to the appearance of Microsoft Game Studios Logo: 10.3 seconds.
Not Installed: Initial Load Screen to the appearance of Microsoft Game Studios Logo: 12.0 seconds.
Installed: Opening Mission: 8.1 seconds.
Not Installed: Opening Mission: 21.4 seconds.
Installed: Firefight: 21.6 seconds.
Not Installed: Firefight: 45.1 seconds.
Installed: Custom Game Load: 9.7 seconds.
Not Installed: Custom Game Load: 28.7 seconds.
Installing the game certainly seems to be a worthwhile case

Okay 6 and a half hours logged (I am at work now lol) and it is a much better game than Halo 3. The first two chapters of single player (did coop with 4 people on Legendary) are really good and challenging. Multiplayer is really good and some of the maps are great. Others aren't so great, especially on certain gametypes. Team Snipers is still extremely gay (imo).
I am very impressed as of yet. Oh and if anyone wants to play go ahead and add me. Good or bad, so long as you have a mic, we'll do okay.
Also, not sure if it was because of the time of night or just the amount of players online, but nobody had a mic. I mean the only people I talked to were my friends in a party and one British kid.
heh sounds good, but i gotta say it takes quite a bit more than playing online for a few hours to be able to really judge whether online maps are good or not
i do like they remade ivory tower from halo 2, that map owned.
I can not stand Ivory Tower or whatever the remake is called. That map was terrible in Halo 2 and it continues to be terrible. 3 out of 4 matches I played at lunch were this garbage crap.
Also, if anyone wants to play just add me. The only requirement I have is when someone is running behind me about to assassinate me I can get a "hey panda, there is someone coming up behind you".
