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. |

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. 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).

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. |

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.

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. |

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.

Req, do you ever wonder why you even bother playing video games at all?
NOTE: I am not picking on you in any way, shape, or form. This is an honest question. |

SWAT I don't mind as much but I'm sick of people essentially recon whoring BC2 style. Also great to hear the legions of suburban ganstas reppin their elementary school. Halo attracts this like no other game. |

My best friend beat this within a few hours of buying it. Hope he likes online cause otherwise I'd feel like punching myself for beating the game that quickly.

Play on Legendary itll take a bit longer. Halo 3 was a quick play through as well, online deffinatly makes up for it.

Just did a 4 on 4 team slayer on Ivory Tower (gonna call it that, cause that's what it is)
My team blew balls.. I ended up going 28-2-11.. meaning positive 17. Everyone on my team had 9-1-12, 8-1-11, and 5-2-13.. lol Held my team together by myself pretty much, and we won 50 to 47 Got Bronze in Jack of All Trades during the game, 12 beatdowns, 7 headshots, 2 killing sprees, , 2 needle kills, 2, assists, 2 revenges, 1 double kill, 1 killjoy, 1 first strike, 1 reload this, 1 headcase, 1 pull, 1 avenger, and 1 assassin. Might not be that 'amazing', but it was pretty rofl for me when I kept demolishing people. They kept using sword/shottie, until I killed the shottie and stole it and kept them from taking back the top of the tower. Good shit. |

Does the spartan model eventually update to look like your current armor setup? Would be cool. |

That's an issue with a lot of peeps right now, the armor isn't updating for anyone (including me). Halo 3 had a similar problem.

Gonna get started on Legendary, would like to co-op it. Started on the highway for my Jeep Wars map. So tedious, but it would not have been easy on Halo 3.

35 minutes to get 1 Million points in firefight. Good thing too, don't think my ears could've taken anymore shell shock sounds.
