How could I forget about that? That or falling off of the map.

The DMR is the most awesomest weapon I have ever seen in the Halo Universe.

It may only be on Boneyard, so we wouldn't see it until a week after public beta opens up.Grady Durden said:First impression is that the focus rifle is too powerful but we're going to have to wait and see. Those with F&F invites please let us know what it's really like on Thursday!
Sorry, that's in the other room.les papillons sexuels said:Not so much reach related... but, anyone else getting a little disappointed with the new direction of RvB? I think they need to tone down the amount of cg stuff just a bit. It's kinda jarring, especially with the discontinuity in the rendering style and animation.
I also fear they might start relying on the cg as a crutch, which would take away from the splendid voice acting and writing.
part of the charm in the series was that crude-ness, it played to the concept of 'life in a videogame', something else lost in the new series. I still remember one of the first lines from the original series poking fun of the fact they were pretty much trapped in blood gulch for no apparent reason, a question that many gamers have asked.
That said, some of the new effect that the cgi provides also helps with immersion.
I'm doing all Halo replays during the summer.Son of Godzilla said:Can't decide, playthrough Halo 3 and ODST for the second times ever now, or wait till after Beta for epic Halo Franchise Redux run over the summer?
Added! Looking forward to playing some games with you guys when the beta hits.Dani said:Right, going to throw this out early.
Anyone wanting to hook up with other GAFers during the Beta, use this Gamertag. Via the Friends of Friends and Active Roaster, come Beta time you shouldn't have a problem finding folks to hook up and frag with.
Add GT: HALOGAFBETA
(that's all caps!)
Thought it might be a good idea to start filling it up early. If or when it reaches the max friend limit, we'll have another ready.
Feel free to use it. =)

youtube kid said:Sprinting? They took out the main weapon from Halo 2 and 3, BR. No more beam rifle in exchange a dumb ass scoped in sentinal beam. Jetpacks? There won't be any MLG for this game. Everything is gone. No more flag running? That's a strategic role...

Pappasman said:Reading the youtube comments on reach videos is a bit annoying. It's just a bunch of kids who wish they were in MLG complaining.
SMH
Yeah, my expectations were crazy. I was expecting it to feel like an improved sequel to Halo CE, which at the time for me was like a mindblowing gift from the gods, easily becoming my favorite game ever, and giving countless hours of campaign fun solo or coop. Halo 2 just felt too different for me, and not in a good way.Ajemsuhgao said:Biggest gaming disappointments of your life? Either you're exaggerating a lot, or you had some ridiculous expectations of Halo 2.

Son of Godzilla said:I actually played through Halo 2 campaign for the first time almost directly after the Halo 3 beta finished and loved the shit out of it. The first third or so, with MC running around the five buildings that made up Earth was pretty terribad, but once he landed on Delta Reach the game became infuckincredible. Also I loved Arby from the word go.
Yes, I was one of those spazzes disappointed that the Halo 3 storytelling didn't turn out more like Halo 2. And actually pissed off at how much of a gimp role Arby had been casted in.
Uprising is still my favorite Halo level ever. Fuck whatever you were thinking about from H1.
Sure its effective but that video didn't put it to the proper test.giga said:The armor upgrades really add a whole new dynamic to the gameplay. Watching the gamesradar video of Luke playing really showed how effective that evade maneuver is.

Now, there are over 4000.
I've gone through all of them, and will be summarizing the new stuff you guys mentioned that HBO didn't already touch on soon. Thanks!
EDIT: Posted. HaloGAF Delivers.
It surprises me that so much people like it. I would probably like it if I played it nowadays, but back then it disappointed me after hyping it so much. Let's just forget I said anything, and let the Reach talk continue.Pappasman said:seriously? i loved every second of it.

Not to harp on Halo 2 so much, and by all means I encourage first impressions to be best impressions, but I think one of the most amazing things Bungie did with this series was to take the sheer thrill offered by the final encounter in Halo 2 - the one right before Tartarus where it's just you locked in a room with a handful of brutes - and replicate it so well, from the Brute bowling pin defense in Crows Nest to the invisible mauler nightmares of The Covenant. It's just a genuinely impressive understanding of what worked best in the previous game and an incredible iteration upon it.Letters said:It surprises me that so much people like it.

Yeah customs were a lot of fun.vhfive said:Fun customs tonight, still not quite sure how it happened though. One sec its 1v1 against Laszlo on Blackout the next its 7v7 on Valhalla with me not knowing half of the people playing :lol . Still was lots of fun.

I had the same problem Schmitty. Don't watch the video on the article page. Go to the videos section and watch it there. Afterward, click on a new video from the same page and an alert should pop up alerting you that you completed it.Schmitty said:What page do I have to search for the quest about 15 year olds and mics? I've tried profanity, muting, etc. And thanks GB for not counting the 35 minute long video I watched inside that article. I didn't skip anything either.
I just don't know how anyone can point the finger at a weapon that takes more than 2 seconds to kill someone, plus overheats, and completely ignore how powerful the sniper rifle is. Too much Halo Reach Beta induced euphoria is trippin people. :lolGeneric said:While I'm in the wait and see side on whether the focus rifle is overpowered, for the people who are defending it by saying it over heats easily: Can't someone just let it cool down before a kill? It seem to happen rather fast from what I see. When you reach critical heat, cool down a bit and then finish your opponent off. It doesn't cool down ALL the way, obviously, but considering how the focus rifle eats up shields and health, a little bit will go a long way.
If we're talking about campaign alone, I absolutely loathed the campaign in Halo2. I haven't enjoyed a campaign mission since Halo:CE, and that includes ODST. But I guess I'm also hard to please.Letters said:It surprises me that so much people like it.
