Halo: Reach |OT4| This Thread is Not Your Grave, But You Are Welcome In It

I'm thinking the main reason they're hesitant to do it is because it would eat up some population from Reach. 343 has said that their main goal is to support Reach so it would be counter productive to release something to compete with it. Its probably why if we see a Halo CEmake it's online will have to be tied to Reach in some ways like ODST was with Reach.wwm0nkey said:

The space part is the easiest part of that mission on LASO. Whenever there is a points challenge for campaign, I just load up LNoS rally point Alpha which is the beginning of the space part with all skulls on. It usually takes 5-7 minutes for an easy 40,000+ points.
Well thats the thing, alot of the people still playing Reach are the hardcore Halo community and many of the people who have stopped playing would have stopped regardless. Releasing another Halo mp could basically kill off Reach's mp side, and it would send a message to players that they are moving on to the next game like we see so often with cod. I would really love to see a Halo 2 xbla but this is most likely how 343/MS is seeing things.wwm0nkey said:

Haha, well I'm 24 going on 25 so there's not that much difference.
I guess I don't consider anything after SNES era "growing up" for me, although I was in my teens at the time. Even so it's weird to thing there's people playing Reach who were too young to have played Halo 2 when it came out.

Thank you Juices for rendering the awesomeness that is spawncamping on Boneyard.

Well i didn't specifically mean BTB at all, i meant maps made for objective gametypes in general. I enjoyed High Ground and Last Resort but not nearly as much as what i remember from Halo 2. Halo 3 had solid symmetrical maps like Standoff but never regained that awesome asymmetrical ctf/assault style that 2 had.Striker said:

I'm 23. I too never had my own Xbox for H1 and H2 back in the day. Growing up I really liked my JRPGs more than any other genre. I did complete H1 and H2 with a buddy though at our local college when we were younger. They had like a place on campus people could come to play any games for a dollar an hour on their TV and 360, as well as things like Pool and Air hockey, etc.
I think I too would pay 10-15 bucks for a HD remake of H2.

I'd like to say thanks for allowing my brother, Melvin (GT: Obese Kenobi), to join in on customs yesterday.
I hadn't played Halo with him in months. Usually when we play together, magic happens.
Case in point, here's a tiny piece from the CTF game we played on Outcrop.
Melvin and I are sprinting toward the flag ...
... when a member of Red Team shows up to play.
While Melvin eliminates the defender ...
... a grenade rockets me off the bridge.
With no one left to guard him, Melvin grabs the flag and quickly heads for an exit.
ncsuDuncan gives chase.
Melvin leaps out of the way to avoid Duncan's grenande.
And he immediately regrets the decision.

Dear Bungie,
I had forgotten how awesome the campaign was in this game. Thanks for erasing my legendary solo campaign progress so I could re-experience it.
Sincerely,
AlienShogun.

I disagree. It's a lot more fun. But I still think the sniper needs to be removed.neoism said:

That actually IS a good idea for people who only like SP. Needs Score attack added though.

I wish Reach had a hybrid of the Daily/Weekly challenges and the Commendations for Campaign.
Basically, a list of things like:
- Complete Winter Contingency SLASO
- Complete Winter Contingency SLASO except Blind
- Complete Winter Contingency Co-op LASO
- Complete Winter Contingency Co-op LASO except Blind
- Complete Winter Contingency with 4 skulls on. (Any difficulty, any 4 skulls, co-op or solo)
- Complete Winter Contingency in less than 1 hour.
- Complete Winter Contingency with no deaths. (Records highest difficulty completed, including # of skulls)
Repeat for every mission. If you complete a challenge more than once you don't get more cR, but it does keep track of how many times you've done it.
So now when you look at someone's service record you don't just see their "Highest Difficulty Completed" you can see exactly what level of completion they've reached.
This list should be persistent, not a Daily or Weekly thing so that you can try them whenever you want. Maybe pick one of these challenges per week to highlight and give double cR for it (if you've beaten it previously you can do it again but you only get the normal cR level and only once.)

I KNOW! I've been saying this is awesome! I think Ghaleon liked it too. Not that "pro gaf" would approve.

Maybe its was because it was 2 flag... and the fact that everyone but me camped base.Dani said:

Saw this montage on Bungie.net forums. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enl3RjzqzfU
I couldn't stop laughing, half the montage is just assassinating AFKers.

Man I sometimes loathe the "Complete X games today in matchmaking." If it wasn't for that I'd have a perfect week. That one had bad timing for me.
The LASO run tips he's referring to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgtbtoEMMbY
When doing solo campaign you can Save and Quit when you die, and then resume the game to continue your challenge.Ramirez said:

Those ones are always steep as hell. 15+ games in a day is a lot.

Notable sections:
Killing the big AA guns from long range with vehicles, and using the beams and rock shelf to skip the big refining site area are the two big time savers.
One tip: after using the Warthog to take out the second AA gun, just wait there. You'll get one checkpoint, and then a minute or so later, a second. The second one will come after the Wraiths are gone.
If/when you die, do a save/quit before the game reverts to the last checkpoint. Then resume. Hit pause, and the Challenge is lit up again, so you can complete it.
Edit: beat on all fronts.
When doing the mission solo now, I always take out the AA guns from long range. I can't believe I never thought to before.

nvm.

- The first AA gun is easy to kill off with the R.H. from the cliff side.
- Second gun is my favorite. I've learned to commandeer a Wraith and simply wreck havok on everything. Highly recommended.

Oh no worries man- I'm actually almost done for the night anyway. Adult job equals waking up early, it blows. I throw out invites like [err, cant think of funny simile/] crazy so I never get offended if someone doesnt respond- but thanks anyway. Also those Montages are killer man, hope they keep coming.Tashi0106 said:
