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

Jesus christ, if you don't have a full team to vote for pro, every game ends up being armor lock heros.

Damn, still?

I stopped playing Halo a few weeks ago as we headed into the holidays, and I was wondering if I should get back in after the new year. I only checked this thread to see if Armor Lock was gone/changed yet :lol

Decent Challenges today. I'll knock off two just working on my playthrough. I was hoping for some bigger payouts, but I'll take it. (Brigadier is so far away....)

My first game of the new year was good - Multiteam, my partner and I both get 25 kills, and I unlock two Achievements in it (double-kill from the grave, double-kill with the shotty). Here's hoping the rest of the year goes as well.

You guys remember that 57 second long betrayal I got on the Spire with a few stickies?

I did it again, only this time it took almost a minute and a half :lol

Here it is. Don't render is because it's over a minute long, but if you're on your 360, give it a look. Got a few neat kills while the stickies are just flying around :lol

Boooo urns

I guess its better spent NOT challenge grinding, but I was sort of hoping for lots of special holiday challenges. Either way happy new year guys - no doubt this is the year we finally find out what Aerospace is, and see inklings of 343's first Halo game. :D

Trying to take down Elites with Human Weapons=doing it wrong. @_@ Dammit. I feel so clueless now. :lol
Definitely. As long as you have a precision weapon to bag the headshot plasma is the way to go. It must be said though, begrudgingly...
the AR is great for killing Elites

Slightly modified and put in bold for good measure.

Can't argue to be honest, that thing is a miracle at higher difficulties when the Elite's are bobbing and weaving like Ali.

Once Ghaleon started giving out tips, everyone here is now triple MLG Pro. That reminds me, got to add a few xx's and 0's to my GT.

I will play this videogame again some day soon!

I'm in the same boat. I've got a bunch of stuff to play first before I can get back to Reach. Damn Christmas.
 
Happy new year halogaf!

I finally got out of las vegas after being stuck 2 extra days because of the snowpacalypse, and I'm looking forward to some gaming that doesn't cost a 10 ante. :lol

We had tornadopocalypse here yesterday. 2 F3s and 3 F0s, one of the F3s may be upgraded to F4.

BTW I haven't seen you on in forever!
 
I wish Reach had an equivalent of Wager matches in Call of Duty Black Ops. You have to put up a certain amount of credits to participate, and if you score with a margin at the end of the game, you get more credits.

I forget who said it before, but I wish Reach on B.net would show most used AAs by time used/activated. Then you could see who plays how. THAT would be a welcome addition.

Indeed, my secret indentity, the Black Locker, would be revealed.

Seriously, I never use Armor Lock.

What do you expect from such a feature? You want to see that AL is the most used AA?

I explained what I wanted to see, you would see exactly how someone plays, just like looking at their overall tools of destruction.

Excuse me, but this is an American thread, so that means we speak American in here.

I speak no Finnish or Gaeilge (?) yet I understood what was posted above, I never understood why my fellow Americans were so afraid of foreign languages ><

was that a joke about the assholes online proclaiming that "Halo is an American game so we speak American!" (or even worse, "we're in America so you have to speak English!" with the usual insults and slurs) ? I haven't slept in a while so my ISD may be broken..

Happy New Year everyone!

I just picked up Reach yesterday. Are those customs still on for tonight? I'd like to play a couple games with Halo-GAF.

Had some great MLG games tonight, won one with a 4-3 flag capture on Zealot in the dying seconds, felt so good, especially as we went 2-0 down right off the bat. I always have fazes with Reach where one day my DMR is monstrous but the next day it's a nervous wreck, same goes for my sniping and pro piping. It also takes me a few games to warm up when I first come on.

Damn my Astros are awesome, definitely gives you a noticeable advantage whilst playing, especially on maps such as Sanctuary where you're sat top middle just listening to where the opponents are. The only thing is my Rx unit for the mixamp is eating up batteries, decided to order the rechargeable one from their website.

Starting to warm to Zealot with MLG's spawns, feels much better than the Vanilla version. I also like being able to predict where enemies are going to come from just for the added strategy, especially in objective games where shutting the opponents down takes on an extra importance.

Zealot and Countdown are actually pretty decent maps, despite my initial skepticism at launch. We just need Anchor 9 to be imported into the playlist and we would have a pretty good stable of maps a few months out.
