What happens in Black Ops when the host leaves a game? Does the game interrupt the match to switch hosts?

Yup and then theres a 4-5 second countdown so the new host and people with better connections don't start ahead of everyone else.

Unlike Reach and H3.

CTF on SPIRE!!!! FFFUUUUU

 

[Striker]

Pretty much. I knew something was wrong when I was getting headshots and no scopes by the ton. So. Much. Autoaim.

Autoaim?

It's called hitscan. Halo 3 had poor hit detection, especially with the Sniper.

BEST GAMETYPE-MAP COMBO EVER.

True, but you did also have to lead your targets when moving also.

I have fun with gaffers but holy crap just like with the other maps, bungie is terrible at optimizing gametypes that work for particular maps. Played a big team slayer (with 6 people) on Breakpoint that was just awful.

Wait til you play 1 bomb on Tempest...Gametype is awfullllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

Like so bad!

Seriously I think Bungie has lost its mind and needs some help here.

The worst gametype of the night went to 1 flag on spire.

 

[zumphry]

Good games Nokyard, Darkflight, Devolution, Plywood and Oozer. And Zayne I guess.

You're not getting paid for my christmas avatar now.

Jumped out cuz I don't have the maps and it sounded like you guys were tired of Invasion.

Nah, more like getting tired of not getting the new maps in appropriate playlists when we all had the maps.

I dunno. Slayer*~Armor Lock Heroes~* on Anchor 9 came close..

 

[Devolution]

I dunno. Slayer*~Armor Lock Heroes~* on Anchor 9 came close..

Everything with AL just needs to be stripped from all gametypes, and put in a gametype called *~Armor Lock Heroes~*, including the text decoration.

I've only been playing Noble Pack mostly this weekend. But Damn I can imagine how bad 1 flag Spire would be... that just seems common sense to not make that gametype...what playlist is that in!?:lol

Big Team.

We basically got trolled by a bunch of dudes who take their big team uber seriously. Banshee spawn owned. Falcon spawn owned. Sniper on top of spire owned. Just ugh WHY BUNGIE? WHY?!

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Hell Bungie you don't even need to hire me just PM me for my cell number and I'll give you a consultation for what you need to do...

There is a lot of shit to get done here.

Oh I also forgot we played a stockpile on Boneyard that was ridiculously one-sided. We had red spawn, so not only did that suck but the flags were clearly closer to their cap point every fucking time they spawned. Not to mention they could just take flags out of our cap point and drop them off the cliff. So balanced.

Reach could seriously use some remakes (REMAKES NOT REINTERPRETATIONS) of Headlong and Terminal and some better gametypes. Whatever happened to big team assault anyway.

The flag isn't even in the Spire it's in the nipplebase. So the Spire is there for decoration or for whoever wants to do some donging from the top of it. Also the spawns on that map suck.

You are like the 3rd person (me and someone else can't remember atm) have been wanting a Terminal remake since H3. I applaud your good taste.

 

[Devolution]

The flag isn't even in the Spire it's in the nipplebase.

The flag is also right in the doorway frame so much of the base is rendered useless.

 

[GloveSlap]

I'm conflicted on whether to buy the map pack or not. I feel like I am rewarding them with more money when the original map lineup, and game in general, are no where close to what i think they should have been. Plus there is the limited integration into the playlists. Bah, im sure i will get sucked in since most of the friends that still play already have it.

I really thought Halo 2 had the best system for the map packs. The maps were only 400 points and every time a new map pack came out the previous maps would become free. It was like clockwork and it really worked to keep the game progressing.

Tempest and Anchor 9 are really good. Breakpoint is good if you are into BTB stuff.

They are some of the better Reach maps honestly.

 

[Plywood]

I caved and bought Shadowrun for a dollar, fucking wow Sage and dat bloom. Why is this guy so obsessed with slowing down FPS?

Spoiler

I had actually forgotten how bad the bloom was in that game.

Twitch, bloom.

Walk, Bloom.

Jump. BLOOM.

Shoot. BLOOM.

Dear Bungie, Title Update for bloom removal, kthx.

 

[Raide]

Personally, I think Bungie made a mistake by making maps out of the Singleplayer areas. The 3 new maps, while taking some cues from SP, look so much better than the other maps. Detail wise, texture wise and flow just feel better than the old maps.

Discounting the Forge maps (I still believe there are great Forge maps out there, hopefully the Forgetastic competition will unearth them) I did not really love any of the old maps. I do love Tempest and Breakpoint, need to play A9 more.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I think CTF on Tempest is going to become my favorite game type/map combination, in the same way that CFT on Valhalla defined everything I loved about Halo 3's multiplayer game. The vehicle/infantry balance just feels correct, infantry can zip around quickly, flag caps are intense but glorious to pull off. It feels like the defining Reach experience to me; at least, the experience I've wanted from Reach.

I've been going back and forth as to whether it was the sandbox or the maps that made me dislike the BTB playlist to date. It's a mix really, but the Noble maps make the game so fun, I think it's more of a 70/30 mix. So having some great maps is making me enjoy the multiplayer for the first time since the game came out. They're like playing a different game after experiencing Hemorrhage.

Would be SO GOOD, but never gonna happen.

fun games with sometimesimepic tonight. so funny when he thought the guys we were playing with thought grifball was a joke. Turns out, they are dead. fucking. serious

 

[Plywood]

Just sucks knowing that it's possible considering a modder did it, but Bungie just isn't going to make it happen. Hell I'd even take it as a custom game option that way it could at least be played in MLG.

Spoiler

You all know MLG would be the first to adopt it.

Bungie should just make a playlist for 1 week and see what happens.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

The very least they should title update the gmae to include the option to remove bloom in customs for MLG.

 

[Plywood]

Bungie should just make a playlist for 1 week and see what happens.

Most popular playlist, Bungie gets back players which migrated to BLOPs, someone cancels their WoW sub, people don't actually quit a match and actually actively play, Halo 3 bows to its new king, Halo 3 player base migrates to Reach.

 

[zumphry]

You are like the 3rd person (me and someone else can't remember atm) have been wanting a Terminal remake since H3. I applaud your good taste.

'sup?

Oh, and Valhalla (I've caved and realized my love for BG was just nostalgia), Pit, Avalanche, Lockout (didn't they show off their own version in their Forge World trailer?), etc, etc.

The very least they should title update the gmae to include the option to remove bloom in customs for MLG.

I'd like that (and possible use in Slayer Pro/Arena or something, I dunno). Though I highly doubt that'd ever happen. :/

 

[GloveSlap]

Even without bloom the guns would fire too fast, so they would have to be able to add a fixed rate of fire to the single shot guns. I don't think anything but a time machine could really fix the mechanics of the game at this point.

 

[Plywood]

That would actually make it four as I think it may have been Zeouterlimits or someone else who rarely posts in the topic.

The modder was able to adjust the rate of fire on the pistol so who knows.

This all could've been fixed if they would've returned the glorious H2 BR and if they really wanted they could've given it the zoom-in single shot.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

I also would really want an option to remove sniper zoom in so we could have no scope customs. They were quite fun in H2 but you never knew really who was honoring it.

It never fuckin ends! You play with GAFFERS the whole night and do pretty damn good and the first team game you go into with randoms BOOM http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/gamestats.aspx?gameid=352854947&player=SometimesImEpic

WTF How are you all so bad!?

How oh how am I going to win 7 games with randoms? =(

Edit: Holy crap, I just saw a Hero

Blastin and relaxin' and the weekly wasted! Just my luck! :lol

[Tashi]

I don't buy that if bloom were an option MLG would turn it off. V2 is wildly different from anything we've seen from MLG. Certainly not vanilla.

That was a pretty boring montage. Same montage I've seen dozens of times before.

Also, what is up with this page? Jeez.

I was wary of that yesterday so I stopped playing at 990 kills. Got it today instead
