I can't wait to play Halo 4, you guys. November 6 can't come soon enough.

My roommates are gonna hate me but I'm bringing my desk setup with me to school.

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

God damn now I feel bad about the image. Sincerely sorry to anyone offended.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

haha this is me every time i play reach.

1. I wonder if the campaign vignette titles will return in Halo 4. I dunno exactly what to call them, but I'm talking about the short phrases that sometimes preface new sections of a mission. They've traditionally been really corny, and while part of me appreciates the humor and fan service, I'd prefer if they weren't there.

2. I'm playing through Halo 2, and The Arbiter has to be one of the best missions in the series. It's awesome in gameplay, level design, pacing, variety, story, atmosphere, setting... everything.

Are you talking about the best mission in halo2, or the best mission of all the Halo campaigns? I don't have fond memories of halo2's campaign.

 

[Mister Negative]

hitler wasn't socialist

also that's only slightly offensive.

 

[TheOddOne]

Welp, we have crossed the line of indecency.

It's only July.

Sure wish I had summer classes to make the time go by faster.

How was EazyB banned again?

 

[GhaleonEB]

I know I'm late as hell on this, but no one else made one, so...

What.

Spectacularly bad form.

 

[Fracas]

....Dude.

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

What.

Ok it's gone, didn't think it would be offensive TBH. But I'll respect everyone and remove it.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Been watching, sooo good.

I posted it on Waypoint. THAT community seriously needs to watch this so help out cuz I'm sure you're more "popular" lol

It was only like 5 pages ago, but I was at work and just had a Photoshop itch. It needed scratching.

It's incredibly offensive.

It and Oracle (I consider them one mission) are one of the best missions in the entire series, absolutely. I'm not a huge fan of Halo 2's campaign overall, but this is definitely an example of where they got it right.

Also: the Frankie/Hitler photo is probably not a good idea. It doesn't settle well.

I took a class, the five weeks flew by. It was weird.

Anyway, I think we may have a new Tower to Tower trick.

Glad stuff like this is being found in Reach.

 

[IHaveIce]

good god.. hope that nobody reports you.
so I'm awake time for some Halo

 

[Recarpo]

Hopefully ogre 2 streams ce more often because watching him is so much fun. Too bad his teammate isn't doing so hot.

 

[TCKaos]

Why haven't we organized any Halo: Custom Edition events? BTB on some of the custom maps seems like it'd be a cool thing.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

ASSaSSiNAtion look good.

Slower gifs.

Does the knife just magically appear in his left hand or does it come from his wrist a la Assassin's Creed?!

 

[Mister Negative]

Orbital has been confirmed for best helmet.

It looks like the Primary Weapon turns into a knife, then once the blood is shed it morphs back to a gun.

I'm not sure I even know what he's doing/trying.

Yeesh, good catch. Maybe they'll fix the animation before launch.

I read "Orbital" and "best" in the same sentence and twitched, reflexively.

 

[Mister Negative]

Are you familiar with Tower to Tower?

This is basically the same thing, but in Reach. He's trying to launch himself from one Pelican to the other and stick the landing.

Orbital wasn't THAT bad.

Edit: That map pack was sort of forgotten...Assembly was an okay map, but I barely remember it when I think back to Halo 3.

I am one of the last 5 east coast players on Reach, I am convinced.

Glad someone shares the same high regard for some of Halo 2's Arbiter levels. Still some of my favorite levels in the entire trilogy. Well, that fact that I just flat out love Halo 2's campaign probably helps.

Just think, in 4 months, we don't ever have to play Reach ever again.

Until we start remembering it as the good ol' days.

We should start a pool to see who can correctly predict when the first "I MISS REACH" thread will show up on Waypoint.

 

[NobleGundam]

Very first glitch I discovered as soon as Reach released was with Armor-Lock.

Stepping on top of a character, size limit: Elite. Nothing larger will work. Crouch for several seconds and press Armor-Lock.

You'll slide across the map until whatever obstacles disrupt that surfing enjoyment.

Reason I brought this up, b'cuz I'm already theorizing what AA to Exploit with in Halo 4.

Oh man, if Halo 4 is bad, I may just call it quits on Halo.

But yeah, regardless of Halo 4's quality, someone somewhere will prefer Reach.

Not that it'll be bad, but I'm sure it will have its own issues that everyone will hate so much that they'll wish for the previous game back. It happened when Halo 3 came out, it happened when Reach came out, it will happen when Halo 4 comes out.

Circle o' life.

East coast is yesterday's news bro. Come west. The best coast awaits you.

I like those. That ridge Six and Emile come up to at the beginning of Pilar of Autumn with "Once more unto the breach" title. So good.

Those H2 missions are great. <3 H2 campaign.

 

[thezerofire]

What perfect Halo looks like.

(playing wise)

I remember a MLG Pit game in 3 where I slow-ran the flag through runway while my teammates were screaming at me to run the flag because I was going to slow. The successful cap shut them up though

Gotta start carboloading for launch early, eh?


My only regret is that I'm not going to have any fond memories of Reach to share going into Halo 4. There won't really be a goodbye. Kind of a shame. I have plenty of Halo 3 memories.

I like Reach. And I only play h4 at work.

 

[Fracas]

I still don't know what to play first in Halo 4. Gah.

Ah, okay. For some reason, I was thinking the dev team had take-home kits or something. Not sure where I got that.

I think you're supposed to use that glitch for SOME glitch on Sword Base, but I can't remember which one for the life of me.

I've also been trying to get out of Sword Base for ages, but it's almost freakin' impossible because it's at the end of the level and the enemies always die on me before I can get out.

No beta codes for Stinkles.

My favorite glitch to this day is when you're in a covenant vehicle and it takes off into space.

Don't fix this 343.

Weirest glitch for me in Reach is the one where you place one of the Powerups (Camo, OS, Custom) in Forge and they jump downwards when you let them go. WTF.

It actually doesn't happen on all maps either. It seems to be related to your location relative to the map's 0,0,0 point.


Also, you know, the Gauss firing through Forge World Structure objects. I sure hope that one's been fixed for H4, woulda been nice to get that nixed in a Reach TU. Oh well.
