If anyone still plays some Reach MP from time to time, shoot me a friend request at RedBLOODEDKing. Everyone I know plays fucking COD and I'm over that series.

Yeah Elzar, that sounds like great fun =P

But alas, the "Get all challenges" Gui is the old me. So I shan't have to suffer.

Edit: It's ok Hypo, I have my l4d2 medkit avatar. Besides, it ain't like you owe me some promised swag or anything :D

What's wrong with my english today?

Actually the market has spoken and consumers want to play zombies so how about you pack up your "the Halo flavor is about vehicles and big battles!!!" nonsense and go to another game.

It's you who's stuck in the insular niche of "people who didn't realize big battles and vehicles aren't nearly as large of a demographic as zombies in this day and age".

Okay lets turn Halo into Zombies now? Well played dumb ass. People go to Zombies because they want to get kills for challenges or commendations. But theres no arguing with someone like you who lets shit come out of their fingers like this.

You should go play Call of Duty or maybe even Galaga as obviously the amount of kills you get in a game is directly tied to your self esteem.

What´s up with everyone´s passionate hate for assist challenges? I don't mind them at all.

The way they directly impact the way people play the game..? Especially considering all of those have to be done in one game. Meaning you have 8 people in a game.. running at each other, landing a melee (or spraying the AR a bit), turning around, and running the other direction. Screw the objective of the game.

I figured this was realized and was the reason they were cut back on so much in the challenge rotation. We only had 1 or 2 in the past few months (ghaleon?). We used to get them almost every day.

I get a lot of games 4 days early. Especially MGS titles. Got Reach 4 days early, Halo 3 ODST etc.

But HOW? Is it because there is a place by you that sells games early, or are you just that awesome?

lol - yeah, that's not an exaggeration or anything. ;)

So Im confused.. which part is the exaggeration then?

Like I said, we hardly got them at all (which is why I figured someone understood the problem) and now they're back? I thought they were gone for good.

The 'used to get them every day' part seemed a bit over the top.

HaloGAF t-shirt. dude the HaloGAF t-shirt.

Nearly every retailer is selling the game here in Germany already. And a friend is the boss of the games department of a big store.

Those are only the ones that require them to be in a single game - the number of assist challenges altogether would be significantly higher, which I think is what he meant (albeit hyperbolically). It's pretty rad that you've got all those listed out, though. Bookmarking!


At any rate, they're not good.

Just curious but are you still against bloom removal/reduction in MLG?
Click to expand...
I just don't see the need for such a drastic change. I like bloom, I think it works.

I love assist challenges, but I love assists in general in this game because people talk about how hard they are to get, but I seem to get quite a few.

Not that I care either way, but I don't see MLG keeping bloom in the long run, why keep it when you could have a much faster paced game with zero bloom?

Ahh, well we did get "assist" challenges almost everyday.. I don't remember if they were MP MM only. My point was, I had noticed the MP ones had tailed off quite a bit and I thought they wouldn't be returning because of the negative impact they have on the game. And then we got one today for the first time in months.

Edit: And what about the challenges that said "Get X assists in MM today"?? I wasn't counting just the "X amount in one game".. you didn't include those in your list.

Well I don't know how it plays. It could make a huge difference, you don't know that. He asked for removal opinion as well.

How do they have a negative impact on the game? Unless you're playing with randos and force yourself into a terrible playlist like Multi Team then it does nothing to the game.

^ Gonna be a long work weekend. :|

I added the list of those in a link above. Looks like close to once a week with breaks, including Firefight.

They should die along with sticky challenges. Matchmaking randoms become even more useless those days.

Can someone explain the Gears hype to me?

The campaign is always the same:

Cover, shoot, cover, shoot, cover shoot.

The MP is team shotguns in slow motion.

Sure, it has good graphics (and its in color now), but I still don't get it.

Great graphic, great cinematics, CliffyB.

A Gears fan could say: Halo is always the same etc. I like Gears. Gritty universe etc. And I really want to know what Karen Traviss did with the story. So I can get more hyped for Glasslands.

That's like asking why Halo is popular because all you do is: shoot, shoot, melee, shoot, throw grenade, melee, shoot (armor lock).
