I once thought about that concept, and it might work if done properly. My suggestions for distributing them: Allow the highest rank player to pick their loadout first, then 2 seconds later the next higher rank can choose their loadout, then another 2 seconds later the next highest ranked player could pick a loadout, until all the everyone has a loadout. It'll give a larger reward to being higher ranked other than having an emblem and more armor.Hydranockz said:

Do not understand, 3 melee's to kill is far far superior imo.

Yeah. Not a fan of the decision, but I suppose it fits within the whole "classic" theme.neoism said:3 beat-downs..

Love it.GhaleonEB said:
The kids I babysit are playing through Halo 2 for the first time (on Easy, damn kids), and I'm amazed at how good the dialogue is in that game. My hate for the game poisoned my memories of its good qualities, and the story and dialogue are at the top of that list.

I'm a total fan. 2 hit melee + lunge + certain AAs made for an increase of people who would just run up and smack you.

Who said you can't strafe in Reach?

Damn this thread moves fast! I can't keep up on my small phone screen during class.
I liked Ghaleon's idea for a title, but I'll toss one in too:
Halo: Reach |OT6| "This game, I'm going to fix it."

Except when CE comes and everyone just loads the install lol.
Agree. In a game without sprint or evade, I prefer 2-hit melee (I thought it worked well in Halo 3).Devolution said:
But in Reach, I think I'll prefer the 3-hit. If a dude sprinting at me lands the melee first and I haven't been able to land enough damage to pop the shield, it's as if I never fired at all. I'm also dead, since he popped mine first. With 3-hit, I'll drop his shield after he lands the first melee on me, but my shields won't be down. I think it will play better. I hope it gets pushed out into the a lot of the playlists.

I would have preferred 3 hit even in 2 and 3, I've always preferred it as a last resort, not something to open with.
I thought about that, just couldn't find a way to make it into a thread title lol.Devolution said:
Maybe this one
Halo: Reach |OT6| Make sure to install Reach before you break/sell it
No lunge on the melee would solve all the shenanigans, it worked brilliantly for Halo CE. Shooting was almost always your first option, outside of the rare assassination and even rarer double melee.

Devo and I are on, anyone care to join?
I'm hoping a lot of the changes make it to all playlists. Not only because it'd unify the Reach experience, but also because I think matchmaking has too many playlists to choose from as it is.
Give me a 'fuckin' whatever' playlist for when I'm ready for slayer/btb/objective.

Lol I'm already planning for PAX'12. If I can find a job, I can make it... lol. PAX is so much better than GamesCom. I guess you Americans really want to check out GC sometimes. You will love PAX after your visit... Furthermore I have to find an job.Devin Olsen said:

For all of a page. We've had many hundreds of posts about HaloFest in here, a separate thread about the art trailer and a 1,000+ post thread about HaloFest. I'll flood the thread again with my own pics tonight, and a longer write up of the experience later on to compensate for kicking off the discussion.Devin Olsen said:

I was just saying it surprises me that the day after HaloFest people aren't discussing the stuff talked about at HaloFest more. I guess I wasn't on here much during the weekend, so I likely missed most of the discussionGhaleonEB said:For all of a page.

Where are the Cortana dolls for our avatars, Mr Ellis?
One of my disappointments from Halofest was how you guys practically disappeared after things kicked off. Not your fault though, you were all too busy enjoying everything, it was my own fault for expecting different.
I hope a bunch of your pictures and stories surface this week.
you guys have exhausted feet, we have exhausted finger tips

Though no halogaf shoutout in any panel was a huge fail, period.

I've been thinking about this. Armor abilities like Sprint and Evade, along with a lack of melee bleed-through and 5 shot kills with precision weapons, are some of the main reasons that I disliked the current 2 melee system. But in the upcoming classic playlist, those issues won't exist. So I don't know if I'll like it taking three melee's to beat someone down or not.Dax01 said:

tbh. Hitmonchan, Ghal, Devin, Duncan and me posts on HBO, too. So we were allowed to join the HBO shut outs. lol.Letters said:
I hope no one filmed the stuff I did during the Halo medley...
You will see a lot of pictures on HBO. And Videos too! Even in official Halo Waypoint videos. I and Duncan got interviewed by Alison. But I think they will cut me out because of my shitty English.

Oh we discussed a lot. I think people are waiting for the detailed rundown Frankie tells us is coming.
Also lol made up for a shitty dmr-less reflection by going +29 on the next one. smh.
I was surprised we didn't blow through to a new OT during PAX, until I saw that most of the conversation was in a stand-alone thread, which is at over 2,700 posts. The art trailer got a stand-alone thread nearing 400 posts on top of it.Devin Olsen said:
Between this thread and those two there were over 4,000 posts since Friday. I wasn't online much either during PAX, so I'm still not caught up on it all.
