Halo 4 |OT| Spartans Never Die
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
It was by far the best thing about Reach MP.
The BR looks like the obvious choice in Halo 4, but the DMR was a perfect match for SWAT gameplay, so it's hard to say if it was a smart move before playing.
After getting attached to the DMR in Reach, I was really scared they would remove it in 4 in favor of a BR return, but I am so glad they gave us both. SWAT just wouldn't be the same without it.

Spawning red and taking the ball Top Red is just too good.
Fuck, how does this shit get past playtesting.

Oh my god! I quit playing Reach soon after release and just now reading this thread found out there was a Headlong remake??? Fuck!!
Such a damn shame Halo 2 multiplayer is no longer playable on Live

You're not playing it the right way, you get a small lead and throw the ball down to the bottom. Then you kill the enemy team as they run towards it. I've gotten several unfrigginbelievables that way.

I fuckin' love you. Officially. There is no more fighting it.
Also, got the archive working now. I was trying with Firefox while signed in to twitch. Didn't work. Then signed out. Didn't work. Then tried Chrome signed in. Didn't work. Signed out using Chrome. IT FINALLY WORKED!

Erm, call me crazy, but I don't see any controller presets with Look/Aim mapped to the left analog stick. Please say it ain't so because that would be a mega deal breaker for me.
Edit: I'm retarded. Just noticed those are button layouts and not stick layouts. Phew! Crisis averted.
i hate when a whole team just uses an oddball or hill game to bring their k/d ratio up. yeah, a couple players focusing on kills to support the objective is ok, but a whole fucking team not playing the objective at all and just camping, sniping, tossing the oddball in open spaces to up their precious k/d, fuck that's annoying.
Don't worry, stick settings are separate, there's still southpaw and legacy options available.

Suddenly I am no longer upset about not being able to find my Reach disk.

nvm
All of this. All of this up in my ass.
Man I want leave work early and play some SWAT.
Can I add anyone to my friends list? Wouldn't mind playing with Pros. I'm not anything great, but I can more than hold my own in SWAT.

Well, that was a complete misunderstanding. Your strat reminds of something that would be possible in MW2 lol. That's ridiculous.

Oh man now I'm just pissed that Headlong got remade for Reach. Not only did I not get the chance to play it, but now that it's been remade it won't show up again till like Halo 11.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Am I the only one that detests the DMR's existence?

With the Halo 4 engine, i wouldn't mind. Some of the best maps are in Halo2.
Even that one with the train passing by on the rail. God, that game had amazing maps.
I'd play with you, but I have a couple of games to beat this week before Halo 4 comes out and I never touch them. So I'm on a Halo cleanse lol
Maybe for 4? My gamertag is: boooooooooooop

Only on gametypes that are broken. Like Dongball SLRPbase.
About 20 minutes into the stream and the only new information so far that I've noticed is that Kynan (sp?) is terribad.
Anyone saying anything remotely negative = salty. Sure thing, dude. I'd rather keep up some kind of discussion as opposed to just having it devolve into a circle jerk, but maybe that's just me.

pretty sure you can invert sticks on all layouts
I don't detest it. It's the closest we'll get to the H1 pistol (aside from the Flagnum), so I can't truly hate it. I do wish they didn't feel the need to fuck with the Carbine so often, though. Maybe it will be good in Halo 5. ;_;

I won't be on much between now and November 6, but add me anyways. My GT is kittens dx.
The best thing is that when we do it we win and get a high k/d. Such are the ways of trueskill in Reach.
When have I objected to discussion?
I find it personally hilarious when someone accuses me of being a 343 suck up, who begged me not more than a couple weeks ago for a 2XP code.
to be honest i also do enjoy focusing on kills occasionally, provided some of my team members are doing the objective so what I'm doing is supporting a win.
when a whole team is doing it it's just not fun for me regardless of which side of it i'm on.

I just wish people would present their arguments in a manner in which they could be discussed. For example, people who present their distaste for something and then not giving grounds or evidence for their convictions.

I feel like I oftentimes overrate Halo 2 MP way too much in my head, probably due to the fact that I played it so much more than the others because I got burnt on the formula and have played each consecutive game less and less. In reality there were all sorts of weapon balance issues and glitches.
But damned if Halo 2 didn't have the best maps in the series, and I don't think that's nostalgia talking. (Disclaimer I didn't play any Reach DLC maps)
Sure add me GT is in my profile.
Lol Zealot, flag holding and spawn camping.
This is probably the worst possible abuse, it is hilarious
treyarch begs me to receive their codes bro. the king devs of this gen

No its not nostalgia, to me its a fact. Gameplay wise i think 2 was very unbalanced with the noob combo, lockon weapons and all, but the maps are top notch. Man, as soon as i heard Headlong was in Reach i was so pumped and when i played it, even with the AA, the map is amazing! Assault, one flag, all that shit, amazin!!
Then they took out BTB from the anniversary playlist and that was that for me and Reach.

All I know is that I don't miss dual wielding, not one bit. Probably part of my reason for loving Halo:CE/ODST/Reach as much as I do.
Have a link for me? Still haven't seen it...
That's all that happens in Reach matchmaking. At a certain point we just stopped going for objectives (or at least not enough to win) simply because matches would be over within a few minutes. Gotta entertain ourselves you know.no, that just sounds like versing an easy team
So yeah...
hey, you could have still played anniversary slayer! snipers on headlong and hang em high seems to be a favourite, oh and prisoner slayer too. fun to be had there.

Shit like this I don't get. This is the same reason that the "Objective games don't need you to go positive" and "I play for fun, so I shouldn't try to win" kind of arguments are crap.
Even if we're not going for the ball, we're preventing you from touching it. That's accomplishing an objective goal. The fact that it exemplifies broken matchmaking and/or maps is what you should be pissed at, not that players that are better than you have figured out how to keep you from the objective (or with sword base, you are blue and fucked by default).
