Hey, you're from Ireland right? For all I know your internet runs on steam!
sorry
I wonder if folks still play Halo 1 on PC. I felt like playing Halo: CE earlier, fooled around in 2-player LAN and co-op campaign a little, and makes you really feel Reach's side a bit more. The jumps are nowhere near as floaty as Halo 2/3 and while they do have a low ceiling, Bungie made the maps according to the play-style. No need for an extreme sense of high-jumps in order to gain access to another section of the map. The speed movement is fast, and that's where the changes lie between Halo 1-3, plus Reach. I'm just thinking, raise the agility for the base trait, which means initial movements and moving from side to side quickly, and raising the jump ceiling a tad, and we'll be closer to Halo 1 than anything we've seen before. Grenades don't feel like Fisher-Price items as they do in Halo 2/3, though they don't lie on the ground for all to occupy as often as it occurred in Reach, as well as Halo 3. Quantity is the issue for Reach, not necessarily the quality.BladedExpert said:There's always a CTF game on Coagulation going down. If your new laptop will be using Windows 7, look forward to a pain in the ass getting it to work
edit: The only way I could get it to run was with this workaround.
Issue that's been discussed often, but it brought some thought as I played the greatest Halo game to date.

I've once been told by a friend that his American cousins seriously asked if there were roads in Ireland.
I think I am in the nice locale that I am not badly affected by US/Euro hosts
It's one thing to have powerful grenades when encounters are quick with the pistol is a super accurate 3-shot weapon and it's another thing when encounters are supposed to be longer yet the pistol is a 5 shot gun and you can lung in for a melee from across the room. It makes Reach a grenade spamming, melee lunging piece of shit that plays nothing like how crazy fast CE plays. Not to mention I don't think the short jumping made CE play any better than 2/3.Striker said:

You don't see a grenade plant/Pistol shot combo often in CE because how over-powered the Pistol really was. The grenades in there still wounded you to near death, and a second one will kill. Difference between it is Halo: CE's mobility is higher, and that's where I hope the tweaks are made. The running speed from CE won't return, but with Sprint enabled, it's OK for me. The two tweaks, as I said, would be raising the agility aspect, and raise the height on the player a tad more. The lower jumps in CE didn't hurt its gameplay in many maps including Sidewinder, Prisoner, Damnation, Beaver Creek, and Hang 'Em High.EazyB said:
As for the melee, I prefer a minor lunge over what we got with 2/3. Everything else that deals with the melee in terms of timing of double-melee and how quick you're enabled to hit one after Sprint is a different argument (and will be scoped out, thankfully).

Actual questions I was asked in all seriousness by people from the lower 48 as well as international acquaintances:
"What kind of money do you use there?"
"What language did you speak there?"
"Did your house have power? How?"

Alaska isn't that bad.
I mean it isn't that bad if you can handle the Malls being stuck in the 80s.
Ugly Anchor women.
Women who can't drive worth a damn, but still manage to be driving giant trucks.
And misquitos the size of F16s.
Oh, and I forgot the drunk eskimos being carted off by local law enforcement, begging you for money, or offering sexual favors for money (both male and female).
Hell I even wondered about Alaska/Northern Canadian Territories a few years back. What the hell was up there and if they actually lived in Igloos like true Canadians.:lolShishka said:I lived in Alaska for ten years. I can empathize.

The "Impossible Life and Possible Death of Preston J. Cole" has a couple wicked space battles.
Makes me wish there was a Halo Space RTS with naval ships.

Favourite line i overheard in variety store beside a Holiday Inn.
American tourist takes a can of pop off the cooler shelf, shows it to his wife and says, "See, I told you they were all crazy up here. They have Raisin flavoured pop." :lol
Never had anyone ask the Igloo question but i convinced a guy on XBL that i don't have a car because i drive a snowmobile 12 months a year.

Don't want to derail the thread here but this is my first reply in this thread and I just have to say that I am so looking forward to this game. From watching that first trailer (the epic cinematic one: "Spartans on the ground!") I was hyped.
I don't think I've ever been as hyped for a game since Jet Set Radio Future on the Xbox. Halo Reach has the potential to have such an emotional and epic single player campaign. And the multiplayer is bound to meet expectations given that this is Bungie.
I'm buying a 360 for this game.

A movie based on "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole" would be much, much better.UltimaPooh said:
