you know what. I noticed an Invasion game ended early on us when the Spartans killed all of us Elites and we spawned on the other side of the WIP frigate things at ground level by a new wraith and Banshee...urk said:
I guess the game knew we wouldn't be able to make it over to the core and drag it the last 50 feet in time. Sweet, I guess.
Halo CE called , it want's it's Lan back.DJmizuhara said:
But seriously, that's awesome. i got a chance to play on 2 projectors an HDTV and one PC monitor at a friend's Guest House last weekend. I should have taken some pics.
There's always more fun in the air compared to sitting at home across Xbox Live in a Party!

So this is fun... ARs only, no loadouts and capturing destinations does nothing.
Invasion Slayer pro?
Ugh 11 more minutes until the game is over.

Wow. Just played a game where a guy tried to assassinate me and it did the animation where it throws me on the ground and he went to grab my head to twist it but somehow my guy came out from under his legs to be behind him. I then meleed him in the back and he died and it said I suicided? :lol Looked like some sort of kung fu grapple move lol :lol
I got it on film but I don't have Bungie Pro...

Somebody with Bungie Pro mind rendering this? Plleeaasee

So once you're placed in a division, is it possible to move out of it within a season?

Really?
I spent over 8 hours yesterday playing 4-player splitscreen and it seemed fine to me. I guess the graphics is scaled down a bit but I didn't really notice since the "screen" gets so small (playing on a 32"). Only thing annoying is the shared sound, especially with someone using stalker, but I guess that's kind of hard to get around.

I have yet to play a match of regular Invasion where the Elites have won.

One thing I haven't commented on yet. I haven't got a chance to dig into Invasion much yet, but Team Crazy King is much improved in Reach I think. I like it moving around faster. Really keeps things moving and frantic.

Anyone need someone else for Arena? Around 1600's and I usually go positive K/D

Same. And if anyone has, I bet they've seen Spartans win 10 times more often.

I played Invasion for the first time today. It was a lot of fun, particularly Invasion Slayer, but the spawns need some work.

Every time Elites win it's an utter curb-stomping due to matchmaking balance reasons. It might just be a result of Reach's new focus on team play and actual strategy, but it's to the detriment of the game in this mode at least. It takes a really focused team to keep the little hotbox of Spartans locked down, but Spartans can pull out last minute miracles like nothing.
I think one of the easiest changes to the mode would be to give Elites jetpacks at outset, and remove them from the final Spartan tier. Plus it would make the first wave as Elites not utterly boring.

Sprint + epic leap + hammer to jetpacker's face = Glorious
I sent you a FR, Dead. I usually rank in the mid 1500 (barely kill anyone with rifles, just assist).

It's good once you get used to it, but I still don't like the Cannons to Bomb button switch. It just feels clunky, same with the Banshee's controls at first.
Also vehicle related stuff, if the Warthog turret has to overheat, make it fire faster, please. This is going to probably piss off the vehicle haters, but using it was just a load of work. Or make the turret turn/aim faster.

I love when you get teammates in invasion who don't know how to play the game and try to laser your own hog instead of the team's wraith, what a bunch of idiots....

Any time I've seen Elites rock in plain regular Invasion, they end up just getting raped trying to get the core up those stupid stairs. Nothing but non stop explosions from so many sources preventing the core from getting anywhere.

Good games tonight battle bros. Dax was killin' it with the DaxPipe, Can't wait for the ProTage. Ghal your a good battlebro mang, I'll spawn on you any day. My highlight of the night was EMP'ing Dani in the Banshee with the DaxPipe, and then watching him fly uncontrollably off the cliff. Amazing.

I played invasion almost all day damn. Couple tweaks this will be incredible.

i think elites need more cover to spawn behind in invasion... I'm spawn killing a lot of them, and have been spawn killed a lot, which isn't fun.
Invasion has the potential to be incredible with some revisions, though I'm liking Invasion Slayer a great deal more. However, I think I'd rather play straight up Spartan v. Spartan with the same rules, and make it 8v8. While I can understand why Invasion is 6v6, since it channels the players through certain spaces, Slayer really spreads the field and still doesn't even use half the map (the Phase 1 area of Invasion).
On that note, here are a bunch of clips from tonight:
I got to try out a couple of vehicles tonight for the first time. They're...fragile. I've posted before how I got one-shot by a Scorpion in my maiden voyage in a (brand new) Wraith.
Tonight I got to fly the Banshee and then hop in the Scorpion. Both last about 10 seconds. It looked like a couple grenades took out the tank, and two guys with DMRs killed the Banshee. I have to ask: why dies the Y button toggle the fire modes of the Banshee, instead of just firing the fuel rod? It's quite cumbersome.
On the flip side, the other team didn't fare any better with them. Their tank lasted 2 seconds. :lol
Their Banshee didn't fare much better, though it had about a 25 second run.
I think Bungie's probably well aware of and working on the Invasion spawns, but I found these amusing. I spawn right on top of some poor soul, and then have to hike to Timbuktu in order for my battle bro to spawn on me. And then a short time later...well, cool spawn, Squicken. :lol
To end on a happy note, here's some pr0n for Dax (aka, Pro Pile love). Note how long that poor Warthog lasts.
These clips are entirely indicative of how long most vehicles last in most games I've played, the poor things. I think the vehicles are up against it as it is with all the anti-vehicular measures on the map, but they're definitely more fragile then their Halo 3 counterparts to boot.
