Halo: Reach

^Check out his fileshare, I think he might just be that good.

Also if you check out his matchmaking history, for 99% of the games he's either 1st or 2nd.

...and have that much free time. Which is ridiculous.
Indeed.

I also noticed that in Campaign he has over 600 Killionaires, and his top weapon is the Target Locator. Someone's been farming in ONI. :lol:


ETA: Reminder: the Noble Map Pack comes out tomorrow!
 
A bunch of new stuff arrived on the 30th:

The new map pack was released, with its own playlist. In Anchor 9, you can go outside the station into a small low-grav area, which I thought was interesting.

7 new achievements. The description of each of them begins with "Noble 1:", implying that there will be more upcoming sets of achievements.

New playlist category, "Grab Bag", which is kind of like the Double EXP Weekends playlist in H3 in that it's a special game type that lasts for a limited time before being switched. The Grab Bag playlist is currently the long awaited Firefight Versus. It's where a team of four is split into two teams, and these teams take turns as Spartans and Elites. The two Spartan players have to defeat all of the Covenant on the map (species to be determined by voting), while the two Elite players have to try to stop them.

Also, the MLG playlist is going to start up on the 7th (heh), for anyone who cares about that.

So... what do you all think? Come on, let's keep this thread going!
 
Well, it's an awesome concept - on paper. I'm sure it'll vastly improve as soon as it gets some balancing tweaks and refinements.
 
You guys thought that Field Marshall was ridiculous... check out this guy, he's already a "Hero" and is really close to the next level of "Legend"!

Yeah, I read about him on the Bungie forums. Insane.

I just checked HaloCharts.com, and they banned him from their leaderboards. They don't tell you what he specifically did, but the listed criteria for being banned includes what you'd expect, namely boosting and cheating. Yep, he apparently boosted his way there. Shocking! ETA: Look at what his top-used weapon in Campaign is. No surprise there! :lol:

Also according to HaloCharts, there are a total of 34 people with the Hero rank at the moment.
 
OK, I finally finished playing Reach last night! While the story was pretty non-existent compared to the trilogy the gameplay and settings were great. Technically it's definitely the best Halo game with the best level design.

Oh, and I wish you could use the jetpack the entire game!

So in the final stage "Lone Wolf", do you get something for surviving a certain amount of time? Do the enemies just get stronger and stronger until they kill you? Does a Scarab show up eventually? :lol:
 
I am slowly working up to the rank of Captain so I can get the dang achievement. After initially playing through the campaign on normal and heroic I got up to WO. Now, after countless hours of firefights and two more play throughs on normal I have reached WO Grade 3 and still have about three-quarters of the way to go to get Captain. Grrrrr.
 
I'm finally playing Reach Matchmaking now. God there are some tough muthaphuckas over there!!!
:eek:
 
I've just upgraded to the latest map packs. Omigod, they roxx!!!1!
I'll do the same, now that I finally have decent internet access again! Hell, maybe I'll even play some competitive Halo: Reach...! :wtf::lol:

Edit: I mean, I basically have to, now that I've installed the stat tracking app on my Android phone ;)
 
New playlist is up called "TU Beta". It implements the title update that went out at the end of September. It's a testing ground for new features that will be implemented into the CE Anniversary playlist.
 
I finally reached Captain Grade 1 over summer and got my achievement. Yay! I think I've played enough of the campaign to last me a lifetime, though.
