I like Condemned, it's just takes a while to learn the layout.

Something like that. Maybe even more. I wouldn't mind opening up the middle area either. As a shortcut, side area.MrBig said:

Your comment was ludicrous, saying that fast kills aren't a part of Halo games. I don't know how you expected me to respond. There is a difference between 3-4 shot kills and Call of Duty, a freaking huge difference. Don't try to play off that your comment even made a bit of sense. I guess I take offense to people saying go play another game when Halo:CE and Halo 2 were my games, the games that I loved with a passion. Now I'm stuck with this horseshit excuse for a Halo game and people acting like Reach is how Halo has always been.Louis Wu said:rofl
yeah, you got me, dude. Never played Halo or Halo 2. Never realized they were all about twitch gaming. Totally new to this Halo scene...
(The fact that you'd even SUGGEST that says maybe you're too young to have played REAL twitch games, like Quake...)

Reach is just a cesspool of people dying instantly to power weapons and cheap armor abilities. Campers and whores of the power weapons is the name of the game in Reach. If the normal weapons were a little more powerful, or if maybe bloom didn't exist, there would be a way to counter all the power weapon/ armor ability bull shit in the game. But there's not. Instead, it's just a hopeless feeling while playing.
That last Elite tried rushing me so I just jet-packed up and he fell off the Spire. Pretty lulzy. So does that mean you're good to go for some matchmaking now?Gui_PT said:S'fine

This is what people always say for EVERY SINGLE SEQUAL, to any game. They say they don't like the newest one. That the last one was great. That the next one will make everything better.

I've brought along my friend Anecdotal Evidence to support me in this conversation, because I've heard during the many self-help classes I've taken and re-runs of the Pick-Up Artist that having someone to back you up on your points is extremely useful in making a convincing argument.Deputy Moonman said:Your comment was ludicrous, saying that fast kills aren't a part of Halo games.

GhaleonEB said:Curious to hear what people's thoughts are on this one. I haven't played Condemned enough to get a solid opinion, but so far I think it's okay. The geometry is too cluttered but the overall design makes sense, which is more than can be said of Orbital.

Yeah, the thing about his run is that he starts it out so quickly. Read his writeup for more details - but the key to why you're facing baddies at every turn that simply weren't there for him is because he went from cutscene to rocket hog in 35 seconds. And you probably didn't.Plywood said:Me:

Deputy Moonman said:"If you enjoy shorter kill times, why not go play a game that caters to that." Did I just go into the twilight zone or something? This is Halo we're talking about here, right? My mind is blown. It's like people didn't even play Halo:CE or Halo2... You know! the games that were all about fast twitch reflexes and quick kills? Even then, a person could survive when they didn't get the first shot off... even if they made a mistake.
Halo has done such a massive 180 from Combat Evolved and Halo 2 that people can seriously come on a forum and say this kind of crap. FML This kind of stuff is when I know it's over. Halo will never be Halo again.

It should have been a 4v4 map. As of now the skybox is better than the map itself. :/ highlands is worth it though. I had a few bad games on it at first but it's most definitely the best BTB map in REACH ( properly made map lol )Barrow Roll said:I like Condemned, it's just takes a while to learn the layout.
Weren't you going to light your disc on fire, or microwave it, or take a shit on it or something? 'Cause you should probably follow up on that rather than play a game you obviously dislike then shit up the thread by being an asshole to someone for stating an opinion, it'd do both yourself and us a favor.Deputy Moonman said:Your comment was ludicrous, saying that fast kills aren't a part of Halo games.

As long as they make it feel a little new. I don't want a new Halo feeling like I've played it before. One of the reasons it is so popular is because its been a little different ever time. If Halo 2 3 and Reach played like 1 Halo would have been dead a long time ago. I'm not sure I care anyway. I'm really looking forward to bungie thang more than 343s anyway. I do want to play as MC again some day. But I'm ready for the new hotness. Not a game that feels 10 years old. IT doesn't matter if 343 listens to most fans pleads, there are going to want to include something of there own, something the defines H4. Your not going to get a H2/H3. The good thing is they do have all the feed back from 4 games, and I hope they include the best of everything from every game to make it the best halo ever made. I'm not one to think that H1 or H2 defines the series, fuck that. Every Halo game is the definition of the series in its own right. I understand some hate the direction that Reach made, and I'm glad its my favorite, I'd hate to be as big as a fan as I am and not love it. That's probably why I dislike Classic. It feel like the old stuff, and I've played the shit out of it. If I wait to play a game like 2/or H3 I'll play them. I'm still looking forward to playing some Classic in MM, because most of yous Gaffers are too goodbobs99 ... said:I agree with this and I really hope 343 is planning on taking Halo back to its roots, although I don't see how a different company can get back the old school feel. 343 might also decide to try they're own thing, in which case ill be dubious, im a fan of Halo of old. 'Halo' with a radically different feel would kill why I play Halo - which is why im not that fond of Reach. If 343 just do a sequel which ignores older Halo and sticks with the mechanics Reach introduced I will be sorely dissapointed.
Dont get me wrong, Reach is a good game, and no doubt 343's iteration of Halo will also be a good game. but I seriously doubt anything will come close to what Halo 1/ 2/ 3 had.

I guess I'm a glutton for punishment, since I closed it because I want to do it the hard/normal way. Half the fun of these runs are all the "oh shit, what now!?" moments.
(Except for Nightfall, which I hate with a passion on Legendary. Breezed right through it when that one came up.)
Aye, this. And also, vice versa. It's still odd to me how game mechanics that drive me bonkers in MP work great in Firefight and Campaign (bloom, armor lock, etc.).Falagard said:I want new vehicles, new weapons, and new maps that are not crappier than previous games.
I'm happy for new gameplay features as long as they don't suck in multiplayer. I like campaign, but if your campaign gameplay design decisions are detrimental to my multiplayer experience, suck it.

Seriously. If you are going to do something with the franchise, don't take it to it's roots necessarily.
The Halo series needs to take a cue from franchises that have been successful at continually delivering value to it's customers. In the video game realm, I'm talking about genuine game play refinements. Halo: Reach is great as a novelty, but people crave modernism, not antiquated solliloquys of the 'glorious days of the first XBOX'...
If you want Halo 1, play Halo 1. I for one want to see what the talent at 343 can bring me. Surprise me why don't you.
Most definitely. Frankie is the shit, and 343 will deliver. I will buy it day one, but it will be for single-player.bobs99 ... said:Dont get my wrong, I agree with you. On a very personal level though im kinda gutted that the likely hood of getting a sequel to the old style Halo is probably zilch. Even if 343 decided to abandon the direction Reach took, its very likely they will try they're own slant on things. I can only hope they do that within the frame of mind that they have to get a classic feel down before they add to it.
343 is made up of talented people, and whatever they produce is going to be good, but they have the added pressure of having to keep within the boundries set up by another company, emulating another companies work whilst also trying to do something new seems like a VERY fine line to achieve.
Jokes aside Frankie im glad a bunch of old Bungie staff and long term community members are a part of 343.
The bolded is understandable, if the core of the band changes then the fan is probably not getting what he originally got from the band and so if the new stuff isnt to his tastes will have no reason to listen to them anymore.Its simple logic mr programmer

I tried running it once - I was a chunk slower, and I faced everything you're facing. You'd do better following Tyrant's writeup - it's slower, but oh so much safer. (plus, he deals with most of the crap you're seeing.)
RC Master's run is only worth following if you know what the hell you're doing. (And I don't mean that in an insulting way. That bit in the mining facility, where he bypasses a huge chunk of baddies by jumping down to some beams and running through the middle, without even slowing down? He's done that a hundred times, or more. I guarantee you, if you try to match his performance you will fall to your death more times than I have fingers and toes. Even taking it horribly slowly, it's STILL hard.)
I hit that one bump and just went flipping. :/ This was during one of my LASO attempts, so then I decide to get to killing the marine and I apparently flipped the vehicle by shooting it.A27 Tawpgun said:For Plywood

It was a 0-0 stalemate the entire game. They touched our flag maybe twice before getting killed. We relentlessly rushed their base to no avail due to the overpowered bases.
BUT THEN SOMEONE (not sure who) grabbed their flag with less than 2 minutes left and we fought with it all the way back to base and scored with like 15 seconds left. So good.
