Man I got my Tritton AX720 headset that I ordered and I see a huge improvement in my play already. So much easier to hear your surroundings. Felt really good about my Arena matches today.
Here is my best from the day: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=5547745&player=monkyofdoom

that video is great, I also found going into a round and just shooting walls for a while helped a ton. 3. Guys on the other team quit, so I had time to play.soldat7 said:
Visible boom indicators would really help train that too...

Is he swiping on those headshots? Sure seems like it...maybe just the video though.
And like I said, the post was coloured by a particularly bad day. I felt like I was putting 8 shots into enemies bodies and their shields didnt even pop.

Bungie: When you're browsing your local files in theater, and are in that screen that shows the map names (which when clicked shows the clips on each map), there's an X button displayed at the bottom of the screen that doesn't do anything.
Also the option to rename files seems to be missing?? Yesterday I had a clip with what the game deemed an inappropriate name, and it wouldn't allow me to upload it to the fileshare because of that, and the only option was to create and save the clip again with a different name, which was impossible because the original full game file was already gone from the history at the time.

The video settings are not resetting for me (I have it at +1 brightness), but the audio is, but I think that's because the xbox 360 voice settings overrides the changes at each boot.Church RvB said:

At first, I really sucked at Reach, but I'm getting better at it than I ever was at H3.
*flex*
Most of these games were by myself with randoms.

In that shot, mostly Grab Bag with a bit of FFA. Pretty even mix of gametypes.

coooool. Now remember I didn't say good, I said ridiculous.NfoRcEr said:
Decided to start working on mah Arena ranking tonight. I predict a Steel finish for myself, but I didn't do terrible. I can't find my Daily Rating on bungie.net, but these were my three games:
1584
1521
1544
Pretty consistent. One thing about Arena over the objectives I usually play is the need to play much more conservatively. It's an adjustment.
But I'm learning.

So I played a round of Slayer Arena. Other team all rage quit out except for one guy. EVENTUALLY the round ends, and I fire off a quick message saying 'Tough luck about yer team quitting.' He comes back with...
(My profile reads GAF ~ Canada)
So I send him some stereotypically Canadian joke about healthcare or something. He comes back with...
Little random, but I decide to just wrap it up. I message him back with 'Nevermind, happy hunting in Arena!' To which he replies...
So yeah. Anyway obviously I'm not a Bungie employee, but I figured I'd pass it on via here since I know how much you Bungie guys here love feedback. And that dude speaks for hundreds of thousands of people. I'll let him know his message is getting to the attention it deserves.

Who did you play?Mayyhem said:
edit:
I am pretty sure Auto Aim has been significantly reduced from what is was in Halo 3... Correct me with I am wrong.Plywood said:
Nice to see you dropping the AR, even if it's for a Hammer.GhaleonEB said:
Also your teammate accidentally saved you! Kept you from running into Hammer House until after the grenade was thrown.
with that said. The new physics are a little odd... I find myself running into teammates and getting bumped around more in Reach then I ever did in Halo 3.

There is a lot less auto-aim in this than the other Halos.Plywood said:

I almost want the auto tracking removed from the plasma launcher, it's annoying how it'll seek out people only to end up hitting a knee high wall I was trying to fire over.Plywood said:
Today wasn't an amazing day for me, I managed to go positive every game outside of one or two, but I just couldn't get any good scores. Still managed to pull off a 1608, really wished I could've had it closer to my high 1600's I got for my first two daily ratings. Oh well though, not the end of the world:lol I'm really learning to enjoy the game for what it is and adapt.

The fact that the reticule bloom has more of an effect on an unshielded opponent than a shielded one is laughable. Poor game design.

It charges and "loads" one shot at a time. You have to hold it no matter what.

Devin Olsen said:
Four shots will always drop the shields of an enemy. Doesnt matter how wide the reticule is. Always.
Suddenly the enemies shields go down, and those shots that were landing a nanosecond earlier are missing due to a magical increase in shot spread.
Poor game design.

dude you have no idea how important the assist is on a console shooter
turn on H3, go to team slayer and try to betray without using melee. That's what it feels like without auto aim.

Four shots anywhere on the body will take off shields.dslgunstar said:
One shot to the head will kill an unshielded enemy.
Five shots (I think) to the body are needed to finish off an un shielded enemy.
So what you're doing is spamming the trigger and hitting their body four times, and then not taking your time with the last shot and just getting more body shots instead of a final head shot.

Edit: I don't think 3 responses in a row are needed. :lol I just don't think it is poor game design but an interesting mechanic that adds depth and skill.
In the end I don't think it would matter, eventually people would adjust accordingly and get better. I have had moments where I'm shooting a person and then his teammate would be passing by and drag my reticle off the person I was shooting. Granted, these moments are/where few, they've also happened to me in H2 & H3. Just having the option wouldn't hinder anyone.Karrl1z4j2 said:
Haha, sorry dude, but no. My friends and I played a game of Slayer and won; I had gotten a lot of kills. Then I get this message:godhandiscen said:
To which I reply, "Don't you worry your pretty little head. It'll be okay." Then this pops up:
And I say, "Aww, this one's going on the refrigerator" because I'm a smartass. End scene.
