Thats gotta by my favorite map so far....

Can't wait to Goozex this

It was all made in forgeworld

New Firefight map:

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/...8044558892.jpg

Relatively small, but that will make it intense.

the wait..

Not long now.

Oh my god. Used to love this map, would totally hide in that small staircase area with the shotgun and ruin things.

Noted.

The game has been ripped from the microsoft sever and is leaked on the net...
Time to stop looking at anything untill I finish Campaign...

Yeah, I've gone dark.

Kinda odd M$ would be so careless...

I'm pretty sure Microsoft leaks Halo games on purpose to get extra press coverage since every Halo but the first one has been leaked weeks before it came out.

I am so tempted to just download it...
If I hadn't paid full whack for legendary then i'd have done it by now

Only way it will work is if you have a jtag 360.

It's not known if someone exploited the marketplace or actually bought it.

Microsoft actually put it on the games on demand section for 99999 points. You can put hidden files that need a code on the marketplace, so god knows why MS decided to taunt people by putting it on the marketplace for all to see and purchase.

Even if people bought it, it wouldn't work according to Joystiq's comment on it.

Dudes were streaming it on Justin.tv.

Forge is awesome, btw.

...I'm weak.

I want it so badly...

After reading a huge article on this in oxm, I'm pretty excited for this. First time I've ever been excited for a halo game.

Mainly for forgeworld, and the expanded firefight modes though.

I haven't really looked, but I wonder if you can make firefight maps in forge.

Possibly a last minute surprise, but I doubt it at this point. I'm just happy they have matchmaking. Never had anyone to play it with on ODST.

Two weeks, for the love of God.

Disc version of this leaked last night, for anyone who has a normal flashed 360 and not a jtag.

I like to think we all wanna shower Bungie with our money.

So, download it, play it for a week and a half, then buy it and play some more? Believe it or not, most people who pirate games, do go out and buy them.

In fact that's an absurd statement. "Some people", I'd believe; but "most"? Really?

If that was the case it wouldn't be the drama it is now.

I have a flashed 360 just for demo purposes...
If i'm curious about a game, I download it, play it, then if I like it I buy it when I can.
Still meaning to buy Arkham Asylum...
Not downloading Halo though... Paid too much for it, rather just wait.

I'll buy it if I like it. Dunno why I keep trying Halo games though, other than the original only on co-op, I don't really like them.

Nothing much changed as far as that Halo feel goes.

Spent the last two nights over my friends place playing this. All I have to say is, why wait till the last Halo game you make to add the Needle Rifle Bungie?

I feel the need to download it...
it's a week away :(

So close I can smell the rocket pack fuel...

With it being almost just a week away I finally went and pre-ordered it with my cousin. I did the 2 for 40 bit dropping Nascar 09 and Infamous and finished off my order by trading in Singularity.

My cousin was gonna pick up the legendary edition but they already shut down pre-orders n it...

Campaign is freaking amazing, just finished it.

What are the multiplayer maps like?
Any surprise come backs by past maps?

Dunno, just been playing Firefight which are all new maps.

Depends on the place you pre ordered I think. Gamestop is giving a code for an armory item.

So pissed off...
My bank declined my pre-order online for reach :/.
Don't have a clue why, been sorting it out over the phone.
Just hoping it gets to me on time now.

Fuck em up.

Stat tracking is live and it's fucking awesome.

Talking about Reach. They practically just turned it on.

Did Tb1 tell you guys I've had the game for about 3 days now.....

I was an ass and sent him a pic when the game rocked up at work.

No, but if I knew it would have annoyed him; I may have sent him pics of me playing it last week :shifty:

I wanna post spoilers to piss him off, but I won't.

Not getting this on release now.

Have to make a decision between halo and pussy, and the latter will always win, no matter what the game is.

After she pays you, wouldn't you have enough? :p

Love the banhammer warning, makes me want to buy the,game but its this or NHL 11

Also suggest people read the book, its excellent.

I don't have Live, and even if I did I wouldn't be going online with a burned copy and getting my 360 banned.

Fucking hate all of you.

Shbould have bought halo. What a bunch of bullshit that was. FUCK.

Trade in?

I told you.

What happened Figgy?

i didnt play the beta but i really hope Reach is a happy medium between Halo and ODST gameplay wise.

Halo 3 just didnt do it for me, but i liked how ODST made you think more because you werent some super soldier with rocket boots.

Well now you can be a super soldier with a rocket pack so I don't think this is for you.

Seriously it's still Halo. It does very little to reel in new players to the mold, it's a celebration of the franchise. And fucking awesome.

My Halo group (we've played Halo regularly on either a weekly or bi-weekly schedule since Halo 1, kept with Halo 1 until Halo 3, and then played 3 until now) will be having a Reach party the weekend after its release to decide if we will be switching over to it or not. The finished product will also determine whether I purchase this or not. My dad practically offered to buy this after he saw there was a new Halo game coming out, and I am tempted simply because I haven't had a good shooter to play for months now. Mostly hoping that the things I didn't like about the beta will be fixed, or overlookable in the finished product.

The reviews are looking good

Stopped by Wal Mart after work to get some snacks and there was a HUGE line for this. I almost yelled out "GAYLO SUCKS!" Probably would have gotten lynched.

there would have been an army of Kalyxs chasing you

If you liked Halo 1, you'll most likely like Reach.

Honestly haven't had this much fun with a Halo game since we had 16 people over our house playing Halo.

Gonna take some time to learn the new maps. Never played 1 or 2 so ones like the Cage are still new to me. Suicide by jumping over the edge to avoid grenades, fuuuuu :'(

Does anybody know how to play Invasion Slayer? What's the deal with the capture points?

So who was brave enough to stand in line last night?

:wave:

Myself, my cousin and a friend stood in line at a local gamestop for 2 hours. We had nothing else to do so figured we would go check everything out. There was about 300 people ine line with us. They were handing out prizes and shit. My friend ended up winning a display box for the game and sold it to some kid for $10. Who then acted like he won it and it was a message from god that he got it.

Didnt play any real online multiplayer. I screwed around in forge world with a few friends checking all the stuff out and then we jumped into firefight for about an hour and a half. Got all the firefight achievs except for 1,000,000. That looks like its gonna take forever. I know there are a few maps out that say you can get it in like an hour but I dont see how those work.

The only change we really noticed from the beta so far is the active camo. It no longer makes you invisible while you are moving. The more you move the more visible you are and in order to stay 100% not seen yo have to stay perfectly still.

Cousin tricked a few people with the hologram as well...that was pretty funny.

2 hour wait, that's cruel. And I thought waiting in line for Modern Warfare 2 was a bad experience.

Well the only reason we showed up 2 hours early was because the gamestop kept on promoting its midnight madness saying they were gonna give free shit away.

When I went to one for Left for Dead 2 the gamestop gave away free Chicken sandwiches...free codes for different things in both L4D and Assassins creed and all sorts of neat little swag.

This was a different gamestop. All they did was give out buttons and magnets that they couldnt sell that they had left over from Halo 3 and then had a few drawings to see who would win like 2 banners and two display boxes that were hanging in the store.

Shitty experience except for all the people I was talking to.

Can you aim down your sights? If not, gay.

You don't even need that, just go into settings and make yourself invulnerable.

Decided to get this anyways. Best Buy had a thing where if you bought the game before the 18th, you got a $20 gift card. Walmart was matching the offer, so I went and got Reach for $40 pretty much.

I take back what I said about the DMR not taking skill. It does. And I has it.

Nah j/k I am not 'l33t', but I did just kick ass in 4 of the 6 rumble pit games I played. Took 1st place, and was DOMINATING with headshots. I can't seem to get the long range shooting down with DMR, but mid-range, and up close, I can dominate people. Love shooting someone in the face and then punching them. :lol: Or vice versa. Punch.. FACESHOT.

You can aim down a scope if the gun has one. Halo plays differently than MW. Always has. It's a different type of shooter completely, with an entirely different feel to it. Takes a whole different 'kind' of skill than MW does. Honestly, I think it takes more 'shooter' skill to be good at Halo in general than it does to be good at MW. Dunno about Reach yet, cause it has a different feel even from the other Halos (still feels like Halo).

My friends hate when I get a Needle Rifle, I hardly miss with it.

Finally got my last of the firefight achievs...took an hour and a half to reach 1 mill on one of those user created games...

Had a few friends over and we took on the story on Legendary. Took us around 9 hour to finish it. Including a small pizza break in between. I dont really care for the story as much as I thought I would considering you already know pretty much what is going to happen. But some of the cut scenes were pretty good. Most of them actually looked like they were done in the style of Call of Duty's.

I can't overstate how much I love this...

My nephew says he's getting this then I'll just borrow it.

Fuck me I love this. My Halo skills have eroded quite a bit since Halo 3 (though I was never that good to begin with in all honesty), but I don't even care. Headhunter is fucking awesome.

Finally got around to figuring out forge. Made a pretty bitchin level for Rocket Whoring/Tag or nothing but Shotguns.

I haven't played it but I *think* they're for weapon/vehicle drops

Why is it that in Legendary mode on Campaign the short little aliens are a cinch to take out while the tall bastards need a minimum of 50 head shots?

Other than that, having a blast so far. Haven't even explored online yet.

Pretty bad that I am already getting just as frustrated with this game as I did with MW2. Except that it took several months before I got this frustrated with MW2.

Pretty much hate the community in this game. NOBODY communicates. It's like people have never played a shooter before or something.

Also, I hate how they took too much focus away from 'lone wolf' style gameplay, where you could go into a room alone (in previous games) and own a group of people. Now, if you come across 2 people, they can spray assault rifles at you and you're dead. Meleeing has become worthless compared to past games. I should be able to unload an entire assault rifle clip into someone and then melee them once and kill them. Fucking retarded that it takes more than that.

Also, the assault rifle on its own is a PIECE OF SHIT. The gun is absolutely worthless, and that alone has made me frustrated with this game.

I dislike how they have done maps. Several of these maps are completely forgettable or just too confusing. You end up starting with a piece of shit assault rifle, and it's impossible to learn the map as you play when everyone is grabbing power weapons.

Some of the maps are great. But I absolutely can't stand others, because there's nothing 'cool' about them. Previous Halos had some cool maps that really stood out, and were typically easy to navigate.

Also hate how they don't have anything in place to put people in games that are short some players. If someone leaves on your team, you're pretty much fucked. Just had an invasion game where 2 players on our team quit instantly at the beginning of the game. We lost when it put us on offense, because there was absolutely nothing we could do to cap a point. Everyone was clusterfucked on one floor, and it made it impossible to get in there.

Grunts no shield = 1 hit head shot
Elites have shields so you have to take that down first.

Even with as much as I already dislike a lot.. it is going to be incredibly fun at our Halo Party this Friday, as everyone there talks, and we won't play retarded gametypes. And we always played BR start in Halo 3, so I have no doubt that we will have DMR or Needle Rifle start in this game.
