[360] Halo Reach: Ghosts of GFF

I felt a bit sad during Jorge's death scene, but that's about the only one. Thought it was kind of funny how he just picks up Noble Six and tosses him into space, though. Kat went too suddenly to really affect me at all, and she sort of annoyed me anyway. Typical emotionless but kind of bitchy tech expert. I was kinda pissed at first at the start of the last mission, because I thought Carter was just going to fly into the distance and his Pelican would explode, but I was glad when they brought him back just long enough to jihad that Scarab. Emile sort of confused me in the end. Did anyone else think he sounded latino in the beginning, in what few lines he spoke? In the end, he was suddenly black and wouldn't shut the hell up. Saw his death coming a mile away.

Playing through Noble Six's death was kinda cool; sort of reminded me of the end of Crisis Core. The cracks showing up in your helmet was a nice touch. I think it would've been a cooler scene, though, if it was just a normal scene and we saw him battling off waves of enemies until they finally overtake him, or one of the alternatives that SailorDaravon suggested. Gripes aside, it's a fun campaign, and I've already started my Legendary run. I'm just glad that the god damn Flood isn't in this one. Worst enemies ever.

Spoiler:

Well we know Halsey made it off Reach alive so he either died protecting/getting her off Reach or made it out with her to later die on Onyx or maybe he's still alive too.

And to Encephalon, I got the Legendary Edition.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Man, I've been doing this and I swear to god it's not giving me these kills. I want to blame it on my connection. In before "You just terrible."

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's just such a different change of pace and so intense most of the time. That and I probably average like +10 k/d in that gametype. It's so easy.

I love SWAT too. I'm waiting for them to make a tactical playlist so I can just play it all the time because right now, there aren't any playlists or gametypes I can hop in and have fun by myself. Arena is fucking full of quitters, Fuck ar starts in TS, fuck big team, fuck invasion, fuck team objective. The biggest problem I'm having with reach though is that all the maps are just horrible. I can live with cage, reflection, powehouse and sometimes spire but even everything can go fuck itself.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Halo makes me hate myself.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Played Headhunter on Hemorrhage today. It was pretty stupid.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The punishment for quitting an Arena game should be way fucking steeper. I want an elite to show up to every cunt's house, ram a plasma sword up their ass and THEN turn it on. Then send pictures of every gored fuckhead to the people in the match they quit on. I want to see fucking feces and intestines and blood and PULP.

FELIPE NO

My legendary solo run is going pretty well so far. I've just been patient as fuck. Hunters blocking the path? Just wait for them to get bored and run past. Wraith giving you trouble? Wait till it fucks off and drive past it. Elite giving you trouble? Shoot at it and wait for Jun to shoot you in the face.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm trying not to imagine the package on solo legendary right now. I gotta get through the bullshit that is the corvette in Long Night of Solace next.

Challenges keep me coming back for more.

Todays challenges just don't seem worth it at all.

Some Goon at SA found this:

Quote:

First of all I'll give you the total armory prices:
Helmets = 3,107,501 cR
Shoulders = 1,102,500 cR
Chests = 593,550 cR
Wrists = 345,000 cR
Utility = 270,000 cR
Knees = 80,000 cR
Visor Colors = 435,000 cR
Armor Effects = 3,500,000 cR
Firefight Voices = 520,000 cR
Total = 9,953,551 cR

The corresponding rank for this is Eclipse which needs 8,500,000 cR and the next highest is Nova at 11,000,000 cR.

Now, for simplicity sake, we will assume the average player wants to acquire the entire armory for 9,953,551 cR. Let's say the average player also wants to have the entire armory after actively playing for a year every single day. You'll need to earn 27,270 cR per day!

To contrast, I have been aiming for 10,000 a day for five days a week and that's about as much time as I'm even able to devote. It would take me 199 weeks to get it, or 3.8 years! And remember, Bungie held back a substantial part of the armory to unlock in the future! How long will it take then, four years? Five? With Microsoft wanting the Halo dev cycle to be sooner than 3 years how many new Halo games will be out? One? Two?

Now let's break up that 27,270 cR. If you assume the average matchmaking game earns you 500 cR and lasts 10 min, you would have to play 54.5 games or 9 hours per day! Now you can assume challenges will give you about 4,000 cR of that, meaning you'd only need to earn 23,270 cR by yourself, but that still equates to 46.5 games or 7.8 hours! And many challenges may be in campaign which will add more time.

Also if you think about the cR reduction where if you bring your profile online you are capped at 1,000 cR per day if you play offline. I know TONS of people without XBL. Only about 56% of 360 owners have it. And then if you bundle 2 day trials with the game guess what? That other 44% goes online and gets screwed. They are stuck at 1,000 cR per day forever. And how long will it take them to get it all? Oh only 27 years! Most Halo players aren't even that old, me included (although getting close).

Can we get a double Credits weekend already? (I don't quite understand the 1,000 Cr bit he goes into at the end though)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Saw this on GAF and thought it was kinda funny:Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details

Awesome Reach! Their Ninja Gaiden one is still my favorite.

FELIPE NO

Yep. I got all the challenges done today in 4 games of score attack and two multi teams. Finally hit Major and got my EVA too which was nice. Kinda want blue visor but I'm saving for the black one when I hit Lt. Col.

As far as Legendary Solo goes, I'm having trouble surviving until the elevator returns on Exodus.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yea, I haven't done much this season but I tend to do solo arena past 10pm and only on weekdays if I want to do well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's all about Kat's voice in FireFight <3

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Buying map pack day one because I hate most of the ones in the game already. Hopefully they aren't shit. Anchor 9 LOOKS dope as hell though.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yea SWAT Magnums is pretty dope. Had a great game today on boardwalk in that gametype.

I don't know what's funnier. People jetpacking with sword or Tails thinking he's a real man.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nothing about can't man, I just haven't yet. Hater.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Almost didn't think I would get that 88 kill challenge because I didnt realize the round was like, half an hour long and one of the dudes kept getting target designator before me haha. I still did around 4k better than he did though!

Was one away from the Like Mike challenge last night in Multi-Team before game ended. #kanyeshrug

Don't want to go for the 200 pistol kill one because I'm lazy but I'm gonna do it anyway because I can't say no to 3500 credits.

FELIPE NO

Why is it called Fourth Horseman when you need FIVE multi-kills?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Tails' trash talking would fuck with my morale.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yea, cap looks like it'll be raised on Wednesday at the latest. Unless Bungie decides to wait until Friday, or something.
