Halo: Reach |OT3| This Thread is Not a Natural Formation

I edited my post to add this bit, but decided to just make another post:
In my opinion Forge maps shouldn't be a substitute for real maps. Yet there is 8 Forge maps implemented across the playlist. As there are 11 original maps implemented across the playlist.
In Team Slayer (the most populated playlist in Reach, correct me if wrong) there are:
7 Original/Non-forged Maps:
Anchor 9
Arena Zealot
Boardwalk
Powerhouse
Reflection
Sword Base
Tempest
7 Forged Maps:
Asylum
Atom
Cliffhanger
Countdown
Pinnacle
The Cage
Uncaged
But if the people you play against or with don't have the Noble Map Pack you're left with five maps:
Arena Zealot
Boardwalk
Powerhouse
Reflection
Sword Base
And if this is the case the end result is that Forge maps will come up more often on average beating out the Original/Non-forged map count by two.
I don't know how well the Noble Map Pack sold, but I know for sure not everyone has it, I think that if they'd remake fan favorites, they'd have more guaranteed purchases and it would result in more people playing newer, non-Forged maps.

For anyone that wants a good lockout remake....

Unless 343 is upping the amount of maps per pack, I sincerely hope the next packs don't contain remakes.
Don't get me wrong, forged remakes of old maps aren't nearly the same as the originals.
But I want each pack to have the best shot at giving us the next Relic.
Also, look what happened with Blackout.
OH MY GOD. DO NOT GO TO HALO.WIKIA.
The site has been goatse'd.
Dear GOD.
Let Certain Affinity make them. ;-)Hitmonchan107 said:
Also Bungie did Midship justice after the Blackout hate and made Heretic.
While I like originals, I sincerely think they'd have my confidence(read $) if they'd make remakes.
Also the site looks just fine to me.

halo.wikia got hacked earlier this morning. If you want to use halopedia for anything, use the halopedian.

4 people can now play reach on my console, my brother broke my controller by dropping it on the bumper, turns out i needed to take it apart and put some hot glue on the tip of the plastic nub that hits the button internally. Simple fix.
The hard part was getting those security screws out. I did it with a flat head anyways

Aww,shucks. :3
Easily my favorite Sci-fi series.

Good shows. On a side note, we ARE supposed to be getting more BSG by fall I believe (Adama during the first Cylon war, iirc).
I have yet to see Stargate anything yet. :< It's on my list of things to do though! I hear it's very, very good. Plus, you know... MacGyver.

We should pick a night from the middle of the week (so it doesn't interfere with regular customs or forgegaf customs) and make it the halo 3 night where every week halogaf get together to play H3 customs or MM depending on the turnout. It could have a banner too.

Yes it is, I loved Reach on Legendary. Very tough, but felt fair, the game wasn't cheating me.
VH, how was the Halo 3? I think I'm going to go back and play it some, was wondering what the population was like, I can only imagine how bad the connections are. :|
Gosh, imagine a Halo 3 with Reach's netcode, no bloom, and no AA's, so good.
Reach's biggest mistake was handing the MP reigns over to someone who literally had no clue what made it so great. The entire spectrum of the sandbox is so much fail it's amazing. From sprinting melee garbage to DMR's blowing up vehicles in seconds, I'm continually stunned every time I play.

It sucks. From the people who said flag juggling is annoying, to the people who outright called it cheating.
I miss Halo 1 and 2 flag physics...

You sure about that social slayer number? I played a few weeks ago and social slayer had about 1600-ish people in it.

They should just abolish true skill and make it instant....
lol urk, I remember when you used to complain just as much as anyone about Halo 3, but now it's your job to defend embarrassing stuff like that bloom video on my fileshare, it's cool brah.
Tashi was hoping to see some boobs, lol!

You just became Tawpgun's best friend
Out of curiosity, I downloaded Xbox Connect for the first time in probably 7 years, and to my surprise, not a single person was playing Halo 1. However, there were 16 servers with people playing Halo 2, so I think my week's goal is to try and play a few games to see what it's like.
urk said:I complained because I was bothered by small things in a game I otherwise loved to play. It ended up working out pretty well.
Why do you think anyone here complains? Because they are annoyed by things from a franchise they love more than any other, to insult people just because the thread isn't a circle jerk is laughable, although it isn't your first time, lol.
Complained? You were driven to considering suicide:urk said:I complained because I was bothered by small things in a game I otherwise loved to play. It ended up working out pretty well.

That. The netcode was bad. Especially for me. Every game was laggy. Okay I got lesser black screens but I want to play lagfree. I have a lot of fun when I play Reach(except the whole enemy team uses only AL. But I guess every HaloGaffer hate this situation.). Ohterwise I had more fun with 3's TO than with Reach's TO.Ramirez said:
