It's not too amazing, but this was clutch for the first period in the game, when there are basic weapons and it relies more heavily on skill and teamwork.

Could someone with a lot of minutes render this for me? I would be grateful!

Those Spartans sucked though :lol

And I finally played my first game of Spartans vs Elites in Grab Bag. After hearing how much of an advantage the Elites had, I went into it thinking "fffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuu-" since I was a Spartan, but we ended up winning, 50-49.

Man, I really, really enjoyed reading Juices' comments on the Beta. It's a damn shame he got bant from here. He'll be back for ship, though, which is gonna be awesome.

Thank you good sir!!!

It's probably my only remembrance I'll get of the beta Which is fine by me because Elites rock so hard.

It's fine. We had some great moments!

 

[A Penguin]

Wait, how did I get top 20% of Onyx? That means I'm ranked better than 80% of Onyx players, right? My numbers aren't even that impressive =p

If someone has some rendering to spare could they please render this short clip so I can show my it to my friend?

Basically, my battle bro is using his jetpack to chase after a Banshee when I die, so I spawn in mid-air next to him with the grenadier class. While I'm falling through the air wondering what's happening, I see the Banshee and shoot a grenade randomly and by chance, hit the Banshee and take it down.

Says you're in division 2 (bronze) when I look at it.

 

[The Librarian]

I'd like to thank Vhfive for a wonderful couple of games. There's actually a sixth game in which my team won, and I went +14, but I lagged out right before the game ended.

The very definition of "donged on" ;D

I think the backpacks in Red Faction:Guerilla are a much better comparison to AA's in Reach than Shadowrun's Magic/Tech. RFG had pretty much identical backpacks to the AA's in Reach, Sprint/FleetFoot, Camo/Stealth, Jetpack, and Armor Lock/Heal is the most loose comparison.

I liked how the Jetpack and Fleetfoot worked in RFG much better than Sprint and the Jetpacks in Reach. Fleetfoot is more controllable and smoother than Sprint, and the thrust control in RFG is much better than Reach.

Comparing Reach's AA to Shadowrun's magic and tech is a disservice to SR, because you could combine abilities and switch them around at any time. They were also much more balanced and versatile. In Reach, you are much more constrained to a certain play style based on the AA you choose, you can't adapt as quickly and the Abilities in SR are more varied and lend themselves to improvisation.


I'm pretty optimistic for the full game, hopefully with some tweaks (nades, melee, spawns, weapon balancing) and some better maps I'll have a new Halo that I'll enjoy playing. Halo CE is the only Halo game I love and think is great, every other one is been pretty mediocre. Not bad games, just bad Halo games.

I'm just guessing they will probably turn it off around the same time they turned it on, sometime around 11 PST (speculation). Everyone should try and get on tonight and get a good party going, right now Me, Gui, and Bobs are rocking some Invasion right now if anyone wants to join our partay.

FYI the Reach Beta will be officially ending at 10AM PDT on Thursday 5/20. Stats and films will persist for a little while beyond that and then will eventually be wiped. We'll confirm that date in advance and offer plenty of warning beforehand.

 

[The Librarian]

Yo, Vhfive, get on: I want to inflate my K/D spread.

Thanks a lot man!

Unfortunately I have to get up in a few hours so I can't play anymore, needs me some sleep =\ Was just taking some last screenshots

 

[bobs...onGaf]

HOLY crap I just started playing invasion and every time I spawned I died immediatly, wtf!?? :lol

I quit that game after like 5 deaths, literally, second you spawn you die.

Awesome. My impromptu vacation day tomorrow will be well spent.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

:lol :lol :lol

I get the feeling I should have stayed on. I missed out.

 

[Major Williams]

:lol :lol I'm kind of looking forward to the beta being over. I have a few games I've put on hold just so I can enjoy the beta while it's here (i.e. Lost Planet 2, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, and just got a new Wii Fit Plus)

 

[Sibylus]

Said Dax to his team, triumphantly: "If it bleeds, I can kill it"

And then his face probably melted into the contours of the :smug: smiley.

Let's say they turn it off at 11 PST.

11 PST = meaning... uh... 18 more hours? or am I wrong?

These timezones are sometimes confusing, I'd just like an actual date from Bungie/urk on when the beta is going off

[Wizpig]

Ok, thanks.

"Wake me...if you need me."

I'm down for some more games later tonight. That shit was fun.

edit: Oh and Eazy I gotta add you bro. Is that cool and the gang?

 

[dslgunstar]

Damnit. I went from Gold, down to Bronze, back up to Silver, and ended up in the top 10% of Silver users. So close to getting my Gold back.

I'm really gonna miss Invasion when this beta goes down. So much fun. Invasion slayer is kind of meh, needs to be rebalanced abit, but ever since Spartans started spawning with ARs, the game mode has felt great. Loving it.

 

[Hydranockz]

Gold... no percentage given. So I was at the bottom of that pack? I don't are. I had a blast.

 

[The Librarian]

I see how it is. Ya'll are trying to keep me down. Yeah, well, I can't lose if I don't play! Ha!

 

[Natakuu]

I was top 20% of Gold. How the fuck? There should be way more people ahead of me, I'm not that good:lol

 

[BloodySinner]

Anyone got a spare Reach code they would like to share?

 

[EazyB]

edit: Oh and Eazy I gotta add you bro. Is that cool and the gang?

I was with you until the Kool and the Gang reference.
