[360] Halo Reach: Ghosts of GFF

Oh my god, some of those fixes are fucking genius. I absolutely adore the ideas they're presenting.

FANTASTIC.

Also maaaaaan Battle Bro is ridiculous.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I really dug the Halo 3 legendary helmet, my Club Nintendo hat reward is sitting on it right now. ;_;

Considering how cheap the Legendary stuff got so quick though, it might be more cost effective to buy regular first and legendary 6 months later. It'd be possibly cheaper (or at least equal) to double dip, if the helmet prices here were any indication.

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

Haha, ah man I LOVE the DMR. Mo0 dies SO EASILY TO IT. REPEATEDLY.

Also it's ability to THYME PAIR-A-DUCKS and kill me and daravon at the same time is impressive.

Speaking of mo0 if I see him in our little circle throwing flags out one more time I will drive down to his house and launch him into space

also also team swat is the shit in this. voting for it no matter what happens ever.

Microsoft Expertzone. It didn't check if you actually worked the job you said you did to normally take advantage of it's bonuses, and it handed out beta codes to anyone with an American Live ID.

They've ran out of codes though. They had several thousand but they are now all gone.

I was speaking idiomatically.

16...a side? Dedicated servers?

Are you in the wrong thread Shin?

I mean it's not exactly a surprise

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Are you not discerning the difference between matchmaking and actual game hosting?

Yeah, EA runs deds for Battlefield (and THQ for Frontlines) but Halo is P2P like almost every other game on the service.

Maybe because it's late but I can't quite tell if you're asking "why not Battlefield: Reach?" or what, here. This too, is something they've gone over.

FELIPE NO

Invasion mode has the objectives that funnel players to specific points on the map, but lacks the player count you're wanting. That's about the closest solution you'll get. Looks like fun but it won't show up in the beta playlist for several days. I'm sure people will post about it when it goes up, though.

The game design, gunplay, and map flow of Halo would fall apart and become god damn near ridiculous on a player count that high. Not to mention the laughable lag or one of several other issues, so. I can think of a multitude of reasons that that player count would simply be a bad idea as it stands.

Sometimes it's not just so simple as adding more bodies to the mix.

When did I say I didn't? BTB is the only real way I play it. And on top of all that I enjoy a battlefield game as much as the next asshole.

Just because a game has guns in it doesn't mean it would work better with infinity players, bro. Not even considering technical issues for a moment, but do you really think that the current style of power weapon pickups, vehicle spawns, gunplay elements, the fundamentals that make Halo Halo would really translate well into a 32 player environment?

You want your apple to be an orange bro. Still fruit, but one is a fair bit different and I suggest you stick to grapefruit instead of you want citrus that bad.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sup shake.

I feel terrible for you now, having to put up with our special brand of horrible.

I typically agree with all of this, but only want a few changes to how voting works. I would like to see it changed so that if you don't vote, it doesn't default to whatever the first choice is. Only count it if someone actively makes the call to vote, don't assume everyone and their dog wants 1 Flag.

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

Even....Mo0?

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

Yeah I'd be pretty worried if it ended up like that.

How ya doing, buddy?

Next time, he's at the rockets on vacation.

How ya doing, buddy?

Invasion Slayer is my new favorite anything EVER. Just the right mix up, just the right mechanics and balance. And the map they showcase is FANTASTIC.

Holy motherfucker this mode is all I'm ever gonna play ever.

EVER

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

ULTIMATELY I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR FACE

nah nigga you just mad I rocketed you

really though you're right, they should have a needle rifle for every instance Spartans have a DMR!

Map size may be too big but that's only because half of it is never used. No one was ever on that far side though so 'eh! The front half of it was pretty awesome, though. Invasion Slayer is infinitely more ballin than Invasion regular though!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was so furiously reloading you have no idea

"OH GOD I AM SO FUCKED GO GO GO GO SHOOT SHOOT SHO-"

I know that most/all of this will be addressed in the final game, and I think the more I play the Beta the more it's just going to bum me out towards the actual release of the game, so I think I'll refrain. If we've got a large crew going though I'm down if I'm around, but most of what I'm tackling next is not on 360 so I don't know how much that'll be.

Honestly, I don't know how you guys played so much of the beta before today as it is. I got burned out on it after 30 games or so, let alone 170 or whatever. Invasion I may have just experienced too much of the one side, which may explain my enthusiasm, but outside of that, I understand this totally.

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

Live seems to be imploding right now. Can't do matchmaking, can't make or join parties, (both in game and chat varieties), can't send messages to other users. No hard disconnects for me, but Omagnus got booted off, though.

I have just had a very weird Invasion game. Saved the video, hopefully despite all the BS just now with Live that it got updated to Bungie.net. If only as a record of the many bugs it displayed. Can't even tell right now because I an't log into bungie's website to check. Live ID services seem to have shit themselves also.

Started as Elites with Omagnus on me team, but we started with ARs. We had no choice of loadout, nor did we have choice of spawn. Only on Omagnus could I spawn. We also had no secondary weapons, (no Plasma Pistols, no magnums, none of that). We also had no armour ability.

At the 25 kill mark, we got the ability to choose loadout, again. But the ability to choose spawn location never restored throughout the game. Omagnus died many times because I could not get the banshee low enough in time.

How WONDERFUL.

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

Fair enough, makes sense that those two are related. Good to know, at least.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The real trick would be customizing what your crotch looked like so that each teabagging was unique.

That's just how I roll son, don't be jealous.
