Halo |OT3| Remember Reach?

People who have played it: "It looks great, plays like Halo, and the changes are good"

Internet: "Good god they've CODized my Halo! Anyone who thought this was a good idea should be fired! What a bunch of morons at 343"
Plays like Halo could mean plays like Halo: Reach.

The problem is the people who have played it have no idea why I love Halo, so their idea of "plays like Halo" might be that the AR is still there.

I've been keeping an eye out for comments that do touch on why I love Halo. Some of the impressions mentioned how fluid movement was, how agile they felt playing. I took that as a good sign after Reach.

I think that's different for everyone too. Are there universal things that make Halo, Halo? It's pretty interesting to think about. I honestly feel like the graphical style is unique and that is one part. Shields is another big thing. To me there isn't a single Halo that doesn't feel like something other than Halo. It's a combination of things.
 
Here's why I don't like extraneous shit: it gets in the way of overall good competitive play. I'm one of those people who just likes a stripped down game with not that much shit going on. As such I guess I'll just be left in the dust when it comes to more and more games, since it's all about stupid gimmicky shit that I couldn't care less about.
 
This Lemon dude knows what's up.

Please give this show a listen Frankie/David.

edit- everyone on the show knows what's up
 
I've got Trials downloading and Fez pending. Don't let me down HaloGAF! What was the other XBL game Null was raving about a few days back?

Trials is so good.

I'm hooked.


For whatever reason, that playlist is pretty much all scrublords. I was playing the other day and got several 30+ kill games.

I'd be cool with a 10 shot kill pistol as long as the rate of fire is rapid (like Reach Beta Pistol on steroids).

As long as it doesn't have a fucking 8 round mag, I'm down for whatever.

I am 26 as of 4 minutes ago. :)

Happy Birthday!

The stem of a wine glass broke while I was polishing it. Had to get 5 stitches, but its all under workman's comp so I'll be playing a lot more halo until it's healed. Though there is nerve damage so some things are tougher than usual. No biggie.

That picture is massive!

Hope you heal quickly. I actually just tore ligaments in my foot and have a nasty ankle sprain from this past Sunday.
 
MLG can suck a cock with no party restrictions, UGH. Vanilla/TU Reach is pretty much misery after playing nothing but MLG. With no bloom in 4, it's already got like a 100 point lead on Reach for me.
