Nah, his original post was a shitty anger induced cry fest, I don't fall into the "clique" anyway.
I'm done pokin' the junior anyhow, he's lost his appeal.

Don't know, but I can't wait either way. I want to see what MLG did to improve Reach.
I thought I saw somewhere before 10 am PST; wasn't that when Noble map playlist went live?

Im shaking my head at all the junior talk. So what if they are newer to Gaf, doesnt invalidate theyre opinion.
Also, the main reason I post critique in this thread is because I hope Bungie will take notice. Its long odds that my post will be read by anyone with the power... but if it is im slowly planting the seeds for improvements.

Come on guys, you can't make friends with salad.
I have been doing some silly drawings of Zayne's tweet about Armour Lock Heroes. So far I have Armour Clock and Jet Quack. I want HaloGaf to come up with some more ideas. I'll show you my really badly drawn pis laters if you all behave.

I could never get into Trigun, it never had any actual story it seemed.
I know you're all Euro and stuff, but it's ARMOR, not ARMOUR.
You should make one character HoloGAF.
Bobs, the junior comment was purely to poke, not to discredit, his last paragraph in his OP did the discrediting on it's own, in my opinion. I would think that would have been clear, I don't care if someone's a junior or not, it just makes for an easy jab.

Fart's sake. I save up 400,000 cR for my Gungnir helmet's final attachment and go to purchase it.

Isn't mythic a rank? I mean it can't track your mythic completion can it?
It says you must be at least Mythic, which sounds like a rank, not level completion.
Edit: Just checked, yeah it's a rank.

It's a rank. When I said you had to be Mythic in the lobby they joked about it being a Mythic runthrough thing.Alienshogun said:

It could be the controller cable. Do you have an extra to test? I find the controller cables have a life of 6-8 months. I'm on my third A40 headset myself and I'm very careful with them. First one was from the very first batch they made and the headband disintegrated (as they did with all of the initial 500). Second one had the mic go out completely. Just had my new replacement arrive last week. Their customer service is definitely stellar so send them an email. You can send them an email through their website and they'll open a case for you (or pm me for a direct email). If the problem is not fixable on your end then they will replace your headset for free with next to no hassle. You'll have to pay to ship it back to them but that's it.
In other news, I'm enjoying the maps more than I expected. Anchor 9 is great for 2 flag, Tempest is beautiful and plays well despite tons of unused space and Breakpoint is a sweet Avalanche & Rats Nest amalgam. But I'd love to try invasion on Breakpoint. Wonder why it wasn't included in the dlc playlist.

Has anyone played Invasion on Breakpoint? I wanted togive it a few days after the maps release to allow people to buy the pack, but every time I hop in, it's Boneyard & Spire.
What are other people's experiences?

Yup. After having already played a little over 1,200 games of Reach (which is already insane), at my current rate I would have to play about 4,400 total games to reach Mythic. Literally never going to happen, and that was the only piece of armor I didn't have unlocked that I cared about. Player Investment only works when it's reasonably obtainable Bungie!

1st phase is crazy but very possible to defend as the Spartans. I love the visual elements as the elits progress through the stage.Epyon MX said:
2nd phase is a bit clumsy. Spartans will want to defend the bomb site but Elites will not hesitate to spawn in view. You will more than likely be driven back to the other side to defend the 2 sites. I like the arm and disarm timers.
3rd phase. The barracks is called such for a reason. (Nice use of shield doors too.)
You earn more credits per game as you level up, so the hill is likely much less steep than you're mathematically inclined to imagine. Plus, if you'd already ripped through all the gear a mere three months out from launch, you'd have nothing left to play for!SailorDaravon said:

Interesting tidbit.
Also, shogun you're a fucking dick man.
IIRC, DLC armor has been previously ruled out
One place the increased game completion credits really shows is in custom games. It's scaled from the starting point of 50 credits per game, max, to 160 now, usually in ticks of 10 cR. I assume those proportions correspond to the matchmaking games as well. Game complete bonuses are regularly over 2,000 for a game of Firefight now for me.
I'm wondering why the Revenant was left out of the Forge palette of all three DLC maps. I'd love to park one or two on Tempest and Breakpoint. It's the main new vehicle to Reach, but it seems to be abandoned from a MP point of view.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I want some double cR weekends.

Right, but even assuming a consistent 2,000 cR a game (accounting for increasing Game Complete bonuses as well as fluctuating personal performance), that's still approximately 2,000 games more I would have to play, on top of the ~1,300 I already have, as well as ignoring the daily cR cap which becomes more and more of an issue as you level up. Personally I think that everything should have been obtainable by say Field Marshall, then have new armor sets come with DLC with unlock values of across the board (from low ranks to new stuff at higher ranks). Right now it seems like the higher levels are super ridiculous to reach with virtually no reward for doing so aside from bragging rights which is fine, but seems at odds with the current unlock system. Not a dealbreaker either way, but like Sai I was really looking forward to that helmet, but the time commitment is completely unrealistic and at odds with the "reward" :/
NameGenerated said:
Agreed, they need this and Weekend Playlists going like, 2 months ago. They would seriously need to eliminate the cR caps on weekends though, at Brigadier Grade 2 I would hit the daily cap in 15 games at the most, which would then sort of negate having double cR.

I disagree.Striker said:
The AR should be removed because it is way too overpowered, especially against heavy vehicles at long range!
Also, played a few games with Gamesager tonight. Nice guy, he went +77 (0 deaths) with the Banshee in a Breakpoint Crazy King game.

If you've got any remarks, let me know. Most of the changes I made I decided upon after dumping 16 people onto the map and watching a video of it.op_ivy said:
I'm going to assume the walkway will still remain one of the main killing grounds, though. All roads lead there, basically.

Sometimes it pays not to think. Sometimes you just say "Hell with it", and use whatever you've got. In 99% of cases, that leads to a brutal and bloody death, but in cases such as the above, it also leads to awesomeness. NOKYARD, I salute you.Louis Wu said:

I only hit that cap once at a very inopportune time, so I'm not exactly against it. I mean really you should go outside for awhile if you have played enough to hit that cap, but it also sounds like its only just getting raised the way he worded it.
Others read it like that too, right?
Hopefully you're bein sarcastic but, come on, its still miles ahead of almost every other xbox game out.
---Even if theres clear bugs (you can lose and still get a perfection, its programmed wrong, and way moreeeee bugs/glitches that are just obviously wrong) I don't think Bungie has a history of fixing most of that stuff either (H3 your icon would show in another players colors on their service card throughout the entire history of the game, could they not figure out how to fix that?) Even as little of a problem as that is, do you not find a few hours one day to fix that in the 3 years it was running as one of the TOP 360 games on Live...I mean where is all their money going anyways?
