[360] Halo Reach: Ghosts of GFF

Hm, I feel like that Bnet update is a step sideways. It doesn't feel cleaner or anything, just reshuffled a bit.

How ya doing, buddy?

A friend of mine showed me her Myspace earlier today as well, where these pictures are also located(Don't currently have the link to it), but supposedly she's a known gamer, something like "something Giggles" can't quite remember.

From pictures of scoreboards she's an avid gamer and can achieve scores in games like Modern Combat that I can't touch.

She looks better with the mask on. Bnet has been really slow for me lately.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm not getting the correlation there.

Also u mad that I've got all achievements in Crackdown 2 now.

Also apparently Moo has this now? I hadn't bothered even trying to get it early because they already said that they were doing a cR reset when the game launched; given as how you get cR boosts for getting achievements, I figured I'd be better off waiting since those cR would get wiped, but apparently I'm seeing that the wipe happened earlier today. So if you see this Moo you should be good to go. I miiiight try to see if I can snag a copy a 7-11 or something tomorrow, but I've still got the last Halo book, the graphic novels, and the encyclopedia to get through over the weekend along with some other stuff so I'm not too hung up about it, especially since there's no way I can get out of work on Monday.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

From what I hear, there is another wipe incoming on launch day.

It's pretty awesome so far. matchmaking is show to start matches, but the choices in the armory are ridonkulous. I had like 5000cR before doing much of anything though, not sure what that's still about.

It pops up a message telling you thanks for helping us iron out bugs, so at least theyre not being hostile to people who got early copies.

Who ruined my fun of telling daravon I had this?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hmm, I don't know then, couldn't find anything concrete. Anyway, a fair amount of people have gotten the game now, and this week's update is up, Reach stats and profiles are up on Bungie.net, and all kinds of stuff, let's get started with one of many already awesome/hilarious screenshots coming in:



-Final Launch Playlists are live and running. Every gametype and map for each playlist can be found here. If you're just interested in the hoppers and not the specifics, come Tuesday you will have:

Rumble Pit - 8 players / up to 4 local / Max Party size = 8
Team Slayer - 8 players / up to 4 local / Max Party size = 8
Team Objective - 8 players / up to 4 local / Max Party size = 8
Multi-Team - 12 Players (6 teams of 2) / up to 4 local / Max Party size = 12
Big Team Battle - 16 players / up to 2 local / Max Party size = 16
Invasion - 12 players / up to 4 local / Max Party size = 12
Firefight - 4 players / up to 2 local / Max Party size = 4

*This standard Firefight hopper contains standard Firefight, Rocketfight, Sniperfight, and Generator Defense.

Score Attack - 1 player / up to 1 local / Max Party size = 1

*This Firefight hopper contains Score Attack, Sniper Attack, Crashsite, and Gruntpocalypse (AWWWWW SHIIIIIIIT).

Team Arena - 8 players / up to 2 local / Max Party size = 4
Doubles Arena - 4 players / up to 2 local / Max Party size = 2

Some notes on the above:

-Yes, Invasion is only 6v6, despite them saying it would be 8v8 in the final game, super disappointing.
-I did not realize that the Score Attack modes in Firefight are apparently solo affairs, which is kind of weird. I also have no clue what "Crashsite" gametype is in that hopper.
-Arena is intentionally being held back until launch day (to avoid giving people who got it early a head start). Also FYI both Arena hoppers are only Slayer Pro and Slayer DMR.
-Campaign Co-op Matchmaking and Versus Firefight are both intentionally delayed until after launch; Campaign to avoid getting put into games that are further along in the story than most people might be early on.
-The only 2 local players being allowed in BTB is causing some people to flip out. I don't think anyone here ever really has guests, but I could see why some people would be upset. Alternatively though, that potentially means no more getting fucked by large groups of guests in BTB.



-Matchmaking Bans for quitting are IN FULL EFFECT. Someone on GAF quit out of 3 or 4 games (with the last one being a boot from an accidental betrayal) and straight up got the temporary matchmaking ban (IIRC it's like 30 minutes). Good to see that that's definitely in place, and they've said that it's only for habitual quitters are are doing it a lot in fairly short periods of time, so everyone should be fine with the occasional quit or whatever. Along the same lines there was a big chunk of today's BWU devoted to them talking about how committed they are to swing the Banhammer hard on people, and have already done so and will continue to do so.


-All player stuff for Reach is up on bungie.net, which means we can now see all the medal names and descriptions on anyone's account (for example here. There's a billion of them and I don't have it in me to type it up at the moment, but there's some really, really good ones now:

Broseidon: Spawn on a teammate 15 times in one game without dying (?)
Sunday Driver: Splatter 15 enemies without dying.
Buck Wild: 15-kill Shotgun spree.
Inconceivable: Get 35 kills without dying.
Unfriggenbelievable: Get 40 kills without dying.

-The review embargoes lift either tomorrow or Sunday morning, but Metacritic inadvertently posted Gameinformer's review tagline: "9.5 - Any disappointment series fans felt after ODST should be completely washed away."

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

I think you misread Broseidon, Broseph. It wants you to have a teammate spawn ON YOU 15 times without dying.

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

Yeah, Wedge just called me out on that on the SC. Absolutely swear to God when I looked earlier the description was just as I posted it, but now it's not, weird.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Neat, you can board enemy mongooses now: Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

mine is shipped probably getting it on monday!!!!
SO FUCKING HYPED

no homo

I suspect GAME will make me wait till launch day for mine, but that does give me time to get a bit further in Resonance of Fate (But not long enough to star all the arena levels I suspect).

Is that a fat spartan in the screenshot?

I always thought the worst thing about people playing with guests is when one of the guests sucks, team kills you and you hit boot without thinking and lose half your team, likewise if they lose connection or something.

Does anyone know if you can combine Gruntpocalpse with Rocketfight or would that have to be a (hilarious) custom game?

Depending who's online when I get this I'll probably start off with some Firefight then run around in a few custom games to get the hang of the maps then play multiplayer till there's some people online who want to co-op Campaign. I hope they don't have the same connection issues they did when the beta launched.

edit: Just checked my emails and my order has been despatched, next day delivery so it'll come Monday morning, which is annoying as I'm working on Monday...

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

I'm going to go to the midnight launch of a videogame for the first time in my life tonight. 11 hours wait or so. Also seems to have been delivered early for most preorders in the UK/Ireland: four people are playing it right now on my friends list.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the temptation.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My Gamestop isn't doing a midnight launch (which I probably wouldn't have gone to anyway), but what sucks is that I assumed they would open at 8am tomorrow like they did for ODST, but nope they open at 10. Further complicated by me having a filling done tomorrow at 11:30. Hmm.

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

Owned Daravon. I just got finished playing a few rounds with Mo0 and Shimmerglooms friends. The Shimmercorps... need work. I apparently haven't lost a step and although Mo0 is still Mo0 we kicked some fucking ass pretty hard.

Call me whenever you get your shit Daravon so we can campaign. Maybe Skills will have it by then too.

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

Will do, wouldn't expect that to be until probably 1 or 2 though. I need to run some errands this morning, still not sure if I'm going to try to snag my copy before or after I go to the dentist yet. If I do go before, I'll only be on for a few minutes, probably will just install the game and play a game of Gruntopacalypse or something.

I was speaking idiomatically.

This is the best videogame.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

halfway through camp, this is one awesome games. It's like playing the first one but different lol.

Just hit me up on live if anyone wants to play!

Hey guys, apparently the free Live trial is only if you're creating a new gamertag, and since I used RacinReaver for GTA IV on my PC, that name isn't eligible for the month. Still waiting for the 12 month sub I ordered to come in by mail even though I ordered it ages ago.

Anyway, had girlfriend make a profile which I'll probably be playing with later tonight. It's "SenioritaOsita" if any of you guys want to add me for later tonight.

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

Reach is fucking amazing. From the score to the graphics. I'm in love with Halo again.

Spoiler:

Did I say how amazing this game SOUNDS? Because it's fucking amazing.

How ya doing, buddy?

What the fuck? lololol

I like MP, never liked halo3 (or 2) but the few games i played felt good, I still suck (no homo) but still fun. I'm all pink too lol, so nice seeing a pink spartan being all cool in the cutscenes haha.

Picking this up on Thursday. Anyone up for a skirmish that night?
