I dont think people will be flooding back in, that is mostly due to the price. Now say if the last map pack went free, then yeah a flood of people would probably come back.

Will there be a downpour of people, or just a small drizzle? Sucks that I missed the rain, I had my Dragon Age II-umbrella open.

Okay, enough water analogies. My head hurts now.

FUCK that LASO run. I tried for a solid hour last night and I couldn't get past the forklift part. I just couldn't get it to park right next to the door and a Covenant on a turret kept killing me. :mad:

One of the map packs is FF too so not too many people are excited about that. That would be like creating a map only for Rocket Race or something.

last night I noticed that it seems as though the level of competition in Reach have toughened up within the last few months (I stopped playing for a bit) and are no slouches. After BLOPS released ALOT of people left (Not me) and the true die hards stayed, but man almost every other game is against high skill level people. Im not hating, i enjoy it.










OHPLEASELETITRAINONME, Its raining outside my office though.

Speaking of early access, I remember playing in 1up's game night for the 1st part of the Mythic Map pack with a certain 343 staffer.

If I recall, VHFive was there too.

Now those were the good old days!

I would enjoy the rain but I'm stuck inside a building of a problem. Hoping to have it resolved soon.

I've re-downloaded the map pack three times but I can't find the new maps when I boot up Reach, nor does it say I have more achievements. Dunno what's up.

It's probably unfortunate from a marketing perspective. I adore Firefight, but I think releasing separate firefight and multiplayer packs would have worked out better in the long run. But as someone that plays score attack a ton, I at least appreciate that there's firefight DLC in the first place.

I had completely forgotten that. All those GAF Forge maps being played was really cool at the time.

How about giving the game to someone who wants it but can't afford it?

And you could mail me the statue :D (srsly, mail me the statue, I couldn't get one for myself. Will pay for shipping kthks)

If he doesn't send it, let me know. I've got mine still in the box with all the packaging, and I'm not planning on displaying it.

The rain caused me to be 2min late to work today. :( There was a wrecked (wasn't too bad) and traffic in general was just a lot slower today.

I used the guide, I think, Ghal or Gui linked here. There was nothing about camo, mainly just sprinting and asssassinating a couple elites.

I did everything right up until that fucking forklift just wouldn't park right next to that gate :mad:

Me too! I found out about Expertzone through the Halo Reach exploit. I now get deals all the time because I actually work for one of the companies they support, so really I was never unlegit with the beta access. Tons of good deals I pity the people who have to pay full price for MS stuff.

Reading through this thread it sounds like it would be a really bad idea to play with any of you guys because I'm an avid Armor Locker. I never felt like I had an extraordinary advantage and countering fellow armor lockers has never been difficult for me.

Contrary to many I love what Armor Lock brings to HALO, and I love that it becomes more beneficial when you work within the team and stay together with at least one other teammate. I also like how it stutters the pace of the overall game at various time causing players to make quick decisions and tactical changes on the fly.

Do you guys think it gives players an unbalanced advantage, or is it more of an annoying/frustrating thing?

That it's being worked on internally, and it may make late March, but most likely the headliner of the April update.

I'm just eager to see what the actual settings and gametypes are going to be. I know theres a discussion thread on it, but it would be nice to see Jeremiah post all the gametypes Bungie are testing including their settings, and get the general feedback from the community before implementation.

In other slightly less Halo related news, I have been promoted at work. I now run all the IT stuff, as well as look after the whole of Operations...which means I can finally remove the block on Bungie.net! Awesome.

I view it as a giant SAVE ME button which I personally feel somewhat spoils the speed and tactical on the fly thinking of the game. Just my opinion of course, I'm not going to get pissed at anyone here for using it. It's part of Reach after all. :)

I love ARMOR LOCK, yes at times i hate it when in Team Slayer and the entire other team spams the shit out of it but oh well. Some people though, cringe to the thought of ARMOR LOCK.

Oh, I thought you read new news about it. :p

I have read he's looking into adding forged maps, and noted he liked the Guardian/Midship maps that were brought up. Hopefully he looks into a few others, like the Lockout, Warlock, and Elongation maps I have downloaded. There's an unofficial thread for it on the Optimatch forum, and they play customs on maps suited for the classic settings - only endearing to get some or most of those maps into the official playlist. The Coagulation map was great in my 8v8 game. Banshee nullified to a point of being just another vehicle due to the openness of the sky.

It's an item that stalls gameplay, like the regen/bubble did. These types of materials don't belong in a Halo game, in my view. As of now/Reach, it's perfectly fine for BTB/Invasion. I don't care for it in any other game modes.

So are there any chances of further precipitation?

Curious, were the Noble Achievements present in the list before IT came out as well?

In the list? They were on Bungie.net ahead of time, I'm not sure if they were visible on Xbox.com or on the 360.

Don't worry. I doubt many in HaloGAF actually play Reach.

I find that AL disrputs the "flow" of the game. That's why I don't care for it in most playlists. I'd be completely fine with AL only in vehicle playlists (BTB and Invasion).
