Official Halo Reach thread

It's awful on alot of maps, particular maps where the humans can get up high and camp...the rocks on Asylum and outer space on Zealot come to mind.

the more and more i play infection the less enjoyable it becomes.. it doesnt live up to the awesomeness of halo2.. i think the maps just suck for it.

 

[Kabob]

The only map I've enjoyed it on is Reflection because there's no place (that I know of) for the humans to camp invincibly.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

Thank goodness they removed infection from the playlist. Is it just me or is that mode horribly broken on some maps?

Maybe its just me but I don't get the point of this game type or why anybody would voluntarily play it. what am I missing why is it so popular?

 

[Kabob]

I've no clue, I hate the mode.

it just suppose to be a fun mode to play. exact same thing as rocket race or any mode..
in halo2 it was fantastic. something just seems off.

its almost like a horde type game.. just keep defending your base until it is overrun.

if you are worried about stats or kill/death then thats not the point..

i used to love the mode but when i keep playing on here im getting turned off.

Whenever I play the rounds are typically over in 30 seconds. Games are done in under 3-4 minutes. fewer than 20 kills combined for all players. Rounds over before I can have fun it seems.

that may what the issued is..besides maps.. back in the day it was a user made custom game. so time limits and official rounds were not there..

I managed to complete the weekly challenge against a team where half the guys weren't playing. I also was able get the five multikills. I never thought I'd be able to get 30 kills in one game so I'm pretty happy about that.

Yea, I got the five multikills on Cliffhanger. I normally never get multikills, and I usually suck at all the forge world maps, but it was like a shooting gallery in Cliffhanger (on Team SWAT).

I finally replaced my aging 360 with a new "S" Reach model, which means I finally picked up the game as well. I'm already in the middle of the fifth mission after maybe 3 hours or less of play, so I guess the single player isn't known for its length.

It's been fairly mundane so far but seems to be picking up. I'm just playing on Normal mainly because I don't care for the increased challenge when playing by myself. The graphics are fantastic, definitely an upgrade over past efforts. The driving of the warthog seems a bit more "slippery" than before, but it's been a long while since I've played any Halo. The player movement does seem faster than usual, which I like. Gives the game a bit quicker of a pace that was sorely needed.

So far, so good. Loving the Reach branded console and controllers. I never thought my old 360 was loud until I plugged the new one in. It's one of those things where you never really knew you were hearing it until you upgrade to a quiet box.

Glad you're finally joining in peritus! Hope to see you online!

As for challenges...this week's challenge is "Get 1000 kills in multiplayer matchmaking." Hrm...I'm sure I could do it but I doubt I will.

100 games x 10 kills a game / 7 days = 14 games a day at least. That easily become 10 games a day if you have a couple big games each day. Achievable. How many Credits is it worth?

Working on it!

 

[R Nilla]

It's at least nice to see this week's challenge is a weekly challenge again (as opposed to something that has to be accomplished in one day / game).

Seems Skimpy. you are going to earn far more than that just trying to complete it.

I decided I couldn't wait for Christmas and ordered Reach + an Xbox Live Gold card. I'm gonna get back into the game! Hope to see some of you guys around.

You will thank yourself for this. Might be the best decision of your life.

You can probably cut that in half by playing multi-team. I get roughly 20-25 kills a game in multi-team. You tend to get more kills in games where theres more people to kill.......which is probably obvious lol.

 

[DrunkenSano]

Yeah, multi-team is the best place to knock out kills, especially if Crazy King is selected. I went something like 61-13 in one game of Crazy King where I focused more on getting kills than holding the hill to finish one of the dailies last night.

More like:
100 games / 7 days - 3-4 days (where I don't play) = 25-34 games/day.

I was going to try this weeks challenge, but with the extra XP on Gears this weekend I am gonna try to get to level 100. Still, this shouldn't be too hard to get if you play enough.

Here's the trailer for the upcoming Noble Reach Map Pack btw

Played about 10 games of swat and multiteam last night and ended up with close to 200 kills. Most of them coming in the multiteam variety. That is def the way to go for this weekly achievement. 40+ of those kills came in one game of crazy king that included a killtac haha. so fun. Multi team is a great time over all though.
