focus rifle is pretty useless though. No one would pick it up. How about Jetpack where sword is?Steelyuhas said:

Yeah lol I had several messages that just said "1 v 1". Not even a question mark.
I haven't had any contact about the steaks.
lol thats awesome. Hitmonchan as Alan haha.Tunavi said:
Although it was nerfed pretty hard after the beta it is in no way useless. Jetpack is not used as a pickup in default Reach, I want to consider realistic weapon placement spawns on the map that should be legitimately considered for being in the MM variant.thezerofire said:
Plus, why would you place the jetpack at the highest point on the map? Not very helpful there.

Urk mentioned that they were going to try their best to fulfill those orders...
If nothing else, I guess stocking the bags with other store swag would be cool. But if that fails, refund. :'(
btw: Where in Oregon? I live close enough to Portland to almost consider myself a part of it lol

Yeah I think the Focus rifle might be better on Countdown than the maps its actually on right now.

That video barely scratched the surface. As emotions soared like a screaming bald eagle over the plains of victory, I heard those words that still haunt my dreams like a feral lover:Tunavi said:
"Hey, back out."
My first conversation with Bungie. It was a beautiful moment I will cherish forever.

If you are going to put a jetpack on the map as a pickup, you want to put it in a useful location though. Then, the team that is able to get the jetpack gets that player faster passage to the top of the map. If you put the jetpack at the top of the map, then no one is going to care.
Yeah they had no interest in sharing a few words with us.Hitmonchan107 said:

that's true. Countdown would be better if there were legs up to sword, like on Construct, it's big brotherSteelyuhas said:

I think Ghaleon said the next thread title was going to be something about Armor locking, I forgot what it was right now, but it was an instant classic.A27 Tawpgun said:

Would anyone like to help me get my last ODST Firefight achievement?
I need 200,000 points on Security Zone. I hate trying to get par by myself. It's such a tedious task.
Edit: I think I have a group ready. Thanks, though.

Am I the only one who likes Countdown?
I don't think it's a brilliant map, but I choose it fairly often as it's fast paced and fun. The 5 lifts negate some of the shotgun/sword camping as there is plenty of options. I'd love to see the grenade launcher and focus rifle replace them - as suggested earlier. I'd also like to see something down about the holes in the floor on each side. Maybe if you could jump up through there/access it from below. I know it won't happen - but it gets annoying watching someone get a sword spree by dropping through the floor several times in a row.

You wouldn't play it anyway, no one votes for it because it's not camping in Swordbase or a terrible Forge World map. I downloaded the Reach demo to get more Powerhouse games in.MrBig said:
Playing One Bomb in Premium Battle on Condemned, I pick up the sniper rifle and get betrayed for it (I didn't see the other guy going for it). However, because I'd taken some damage from the opposing sniper, it doesn't count as a betrayal so I can't boot the guy. I was debating my response awaiting respawn...and then this happens.
This is the third person view showing how it played out.
I've never seen the spawn system deal out karma like this before. This made my day.
So good.

I think powerhouse, sword base, countdown, zealot and boardwalk are all good maps. They're certainly not the best of Halo - but they've grown on me. I'd remove the low grav area on zealot, the shrubs/trees on boardwalk, the tiny lift room in sword base and the hammer in powerhouse - in a heartbeat. But otherwise they're all really fun maps with lots of options.
The forgeworld maps vary, but Aslyum, precipice, kingdom, treasury, enclosed and uncaged are all really enjoyable maps. I think Enclosed ranks somewhere among the best Halo maps in the series. I think the only awful forgeworld maps are pinnacle, think twice and affinity. While certainly playable they tend to turn into power weapon domination matches - and they all have 'ideal' areas for the winning team to hold - it makes many areas of the map fairly worthless or overly dangerous.
As for the Halo MP Rankings:
Halo 2 before modding > Reach > Halo 3 > CE > ODST > Wars > Halo 2 during modding.
Reach is nice. Very nice.

I laughed plenty during Halo 2's modding phase - but it turned into an unplayable mess on Live, at least whenever I was on.darthbob said:

I can't recall exactly when I was playing - it wasn't near launch. I enjoyed it thoroughly for some time, but I know that later on every single match involved 1 of 3 things.darthbob said:
1: Massive lag - either a result of matching me to faraway lands like the US, or modding causing shit to go crazy
2: Modding - invincible enemies, super battle rifles, crazy vehicles - you name it, I saw it
3: Domination - I'm not sure whether the Australian userbase at that time had filtered down to the hardcore Halo crazies, or if they were messing around with their rankings, but no ranks/trueskill could save me from Clan/Group rape over and over.
A truly awful game by the end - it's why I don't hold it in the same regard as many other Halo fans. I'd take bloom and armour lock over Halo 2's end result, without hesitation.
