My buddy and I built our first map ever last night. Cooperative forging is amazing! Who knew it could be this fun? It can be best described as virtual legos but 10000x better.

Its a pretty decent sized map perfect for teams of 4-6 slayer games for right now. We haven't ..........let me know if interested.

i want to make 2fort from teamfortress.. i wonder if anyone made it yet..

You can do a search using keywords.

Dude, I'd love to make old CS maps and such... that could be a blast. I'll start with fy_iceworld because it's crazy simple, and go from there

 

[bucwylde23]

I'm probably going to be on tonight if anyone else will be around. i'd like to finish the challenges for today

Ugh! Please don't encourage the de_dust maps being made... I am so tired of that map from my CS days.

That would be fun.

In other news, my Xbox is finally repaired so maybe I can get some Halo in tonight!

 

[R Nilla]

Someone should make de_jeepathon2k. VEHICLES!

Oh wait, nevermind...

Most of the challenges you can do in Firefight, decent teammates or no.

If I recall:

• Kill 40 enemies in Firefight (400)
• Kill 100 grunts in Firefight (1500)
• Kill 250 enemies in any mode (2500)
• Get 20 Supercombines in any mode (400)

Don't quote me on that though.

If you made a gametype that went along with it that had the "classes" it would be pretty fun.

Good time ripping the couple of games I got in before work last night. I think we did pretty well though that headhunter match was frustrating as all hell. Seemed like every time I was within 5 feet of scoring I'd be gunned down. That one time I must have had like at least a dozen and the other team got mine plus what they had and scored like 20+ pts in one shot. Basically what I'm trying to say is I single handedly lost that game for us. lol.

I'll be on all night tonight.

 

[JoPh]

i know ice.. it doesnt help we were down 2 people either. i was sniping them as they ran across the center but we were just out numbered.


i still need to get the melee thing down.. i always melee to early... i havent figured out when the sheilds are completely gone..

 

[Anubis]

we were down 3 people actually and i was 2 steps from turning in all of those skulls you dropped Ice when i got naded by like 8 people

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

my xbl tag is also bl4ckfl4g but honestly I haven't even played the game once since I bought it. Been busy,

I know this is a bit late but what the hell.

I just completed the campaign, and what strikes me is how much better the Reach SP game is than the other Halo games (I have not played ODST). It was solid with a very dramatic ending which felt like I was apart of something fairly epic. Honestly when it ended I was ready for it to be over--so the pacing was well done too.

I love me some coop and I'm curious if playing the SP campaign via coop is any different? for instance to they just make enemies more difficult to kill? Are there more enemies? Are the level designs actually different?

Levels are the same. Enemies are scaled. :thumbsup:

The levels are the same as far as I know and the difficulty scales pretty well from what I've seen so far. I don't know if the enemies are just stronger or the count is different though.

Ugh I started grad school this year and have had zero time for xbox, so I haven't been able to play Reach yet

I played the Beta and was starting to get into it... Campaign looks sweet though.

Finished the campaign today. I agree that the pacing was well done and overall felt like a better campaign for Halo. There's only one thing that kind of got annoying:

Spoiler

When jorge died it was a bummer and I kind of felt for him, but most of your team by the end dies in some way and it started to feel more forced and I stopped giving a shit. The deaths seemed tacked on and unnecessary after a while and really cheapened it overall.

I agree.

Basically everything after you leave Halsey with Cortana was a letdown to me, even the gameplay started to falter in my opinion. It wasn't completely awful, but not up to par with the rest of the game. The deaths after Jorge definitely are anti-climactic, Kat's was just awful, and Emile was almost a completely different character at the end of the game (he went from brooding to being making snarky comments every two seconds it seemed like). I really wasn't that impressed with the character development in Reach, the characters were just too cliched and didn't even seem to fit right half the time (for instance the Captain's interaction with Halsey). I think it would have both been a better game and more involving if it had been the team minus Jorge at the end of the game.

 

[Kabob]

Finished the campaign by myself on Legendary, it wasn't so much hard as much as it was annoying at parts. Glad it's over though, it was taking me anywhere from 60-90 minutes per level.

Spoiler

Agree with the posts above, everyone dying gets old after the girl dies. When she got sniped I was really surprised (considering how bleak the mood was at the time). After that though I was like "really? They HAVE to die do they?"
