[360] Halo Reach: Ghosts of GFF

Jesus, Tails, you're Captain Grade 3? FUCK

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Curse having a life

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

I'm implying I was doing other things with my life than playing Halo, yes.

What's so weird about that?

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

Yeah, I haven't really messed with Score Attack terribly much. I've played a lot more Matchmaking and ignored some challenges.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That thing has such a massive cooldown it can't fix every mistake, and not to mention if you just go "let me hold it down the whole way until it runs out" then it's really easy to just stand there and wait for it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Does it make me weird if I don't want to know how many ranks there are, what they're called, and how many credits it takes to get them?

Like, I want to be surprised by people's icons and go "Oh neat look at that rank"?

It probably does.

Oh well, I just read the list anyway because I can't help myself.

That's... an awful lot of ranks. And an awful lot of credits required to get them.

FELIPE NO

Damn, I decide to watch TV and it looks like half of the crew logged off while I was doing it.

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

Tuesday.

Also, agreed regarding Warrant Officer. Just now hit Captain. Finally.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ahahaahah what

You want to make Hemhorrhage more shitty? Why? They're two days away from removing Scorpions.

It's not like this new thing that you see suddenly makes the helmet you already bought less cool, it just gives you a new goal to reach, which I'm pretty sure is 99% of the reason they set things up that way.

Fuck you. Jorge in Firefight is like playing Halo as Jason Statham.

Jorge for best Spartan ever.

Which part scales? The commendations, or the end of game/winning the game bonuses?

Jorge is about as un-mockney as you can get. If anything, Jorge sounds like Idris Elba, maybe Timothy Dalton but Jason Statham? Not even similar.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of "British action hero gruff voice" rather than a direct comparison of voices.

Didn't they mention something just like that in one of the weekly updates recently?

e: Yep.

It’s our goal to roll out a community Forge World playlist that’s a staging ground for all sorts of sweet Forge content before the best of the best gets rolled out into proper matchmaking as appropriate.

Also, I'm still saving up for that damn EVA helmet. Curse you, Captain 3 -> Major.

Oh god, the double or nothing thread (wherein people have been informed if they bitch about a credits ban and are proven to be full of shit, their ban is doubled) is awesome.

Inspection of your log reveals the following:

10 syncs for 4500 between 10/14/2010 8:27:34 AM and 10/14/2010 8:31:25 AM

4 syncs for 1500 between 10/12/2010 10:54:37 AM and 10/12/2010 10:56:09 AM

12 syncs for 3000 between 10/11/2010 11:11:25 PM and 10/11/2010 11:20:06 PM

And plenty more as I go deeper. I suspect you are, in fact, the cheater we think you are.

As per the original post, suspension extended.

That post is on this page

This is the start, just look for gold posts and you'll see all the action

FELIPE NO

We have to play Lazerball today.

It's Oddball, everyone gets lasers and golf clubs, and the speed/gravity is set to WACKY.

With enough people, it's hilarious on Hemorrhage.

Lazerball

There's also Falconry, which results in hilarious bullshit like this.

Requires a lot of people, though.

That guy isn't even trying, is he?

How do I had fun playing video gaem

How ya doing, buddy?

Considering the ridiculous easiness of that "Play one game of matchmaking after linking your account to bungie.net" challenge, the cap busting thermometer skyrocketed today. It looks to me like the cap will be going up sometime this week, if not tonight, at the rate it's going.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm going to try Arena again this season and hope that I don't get absolutely boned in terms of matchups like I did last season. I got turned off of that shit right quick.

Someone on SA said they got 7372 cR from the slot machine, so that gives an idea of how big the jackpot is.

This video is awesome.

How ya doing, buddy?

Daravon, I think you overdosed on matchmaking. You've spent so much time in it that it seems that all the little things that aren't right are just giving you a hair trigger.

Find a group of people to play custom games with. I know some of the most fun I've had playing Halo has been with goons, where a custom lobby gets set up and we start playing 4 team Fiesta Slayer on Mario Kart's Block World map, or Falconry, an absolutely ridiculous map where there are 4 falcons, 8 mongeese, a bunch of plasma pistols and one laser running around. It's totally stupid but totally hilarious.

My original goal for the commendations was to unlock them all, but once I saw just how much effort that'd take, I decided to look at them more as a way to track how I'm playing. I noticed my sidearm commendation was rather low, so I've been trying to remember to switch to pistol in regular Slayer to pop someone who's low on shields. That's getting my commendation up and my skill up.

I realize all this stuff is sort of tangential to your problem. You have perfectly valid points about what needs to be fixed. I'm just, in my usual way, trying to point out that while there are plenty of wonky things about Reach, they're not absolutely breaking the game, and there are other reasons to play the game aside from credits. Taking your ball and going home just because we're telling you to calm down a bit seems a bit excessive.

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

Wow, so urk totally goofed by telling GAF that they were set in stone.

How ya doing, buddy?
