Halo: Reach |OT6| There Are Those Who Said This Day Would Never Come
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
Watching Ninja's Stream, Turning Point is scrimming Status Quo. Ninja is in a 1v1 firefight with Enable, when Enable does his patented crouch strafe and destroys Ninja. Ninja then remarks, "I can't wait until bloom is gone so that little fucker can't do that shit."Tashi0106 said:

EDIT: We must choose because 360's are old but devs keep having to make games look better so people will buy them. So you get performance issues because of it.
People complained that Shadowrun only had 1 skin per race per team. But that game doesn't have framerate issues like Reach, that game also sold like shit, so that is why we must choose. I prefer performance over cosmetics.

Take flag to dorms. Blue spawns powerhouse. They take our flag to dorms, we spawn rock garden.
Objective spawns make no fucking sense.

I really can't stand this game... Just spent the last 3 hours getting heavily abused by everything I hate about Reach. Multiple games where people were flying around with the jetpack and a needler and other people invis sniping. Armor locking was also the flavor of the day. But honestly, I can put up with armor lockers. What I have a hard time dealing with are power weapons, as I've stated many, many, too many times. So I'll spare you guys from an uber long post. I think it's time to play some age of empires 3 with some friends.

Evade in objective just about ruined my night. Couldn't kill anyone. Can't have any map control when they can just evade right to flags or whatever. Really negative k/ds. What a joke.

I did stop playing it, but it's Friday and I wanted to have some fun. Have any other great advice? :-/ I play the game a lot, and despite bad games, much of the time, my bad experiences turn into good experiences if I keep playing. I had a bad run of games tonight and wanted to vent a little on gaf, where I was hoping for a little more, "I know that feeling bro." But guess I was wrong, lol. I can always go back to my original style of posting where I say Reach blows and everything sucks about it if you guys would prefer :-(GhaleonEB said:

I have fun until something like my last two games happens. Also juices left, we're down to three and a random. Then we get the competitive people? I just don't get this game.

(well, it would be better if the characters had shadows..
)fast edit-
love the first Terminal location, makes perfect connection with the content
So, Zoolaner (Yes, he's still banned, said it should be over soon) and I did some impromptu ForgeGAF testing this morning, which turned into the better part of the day spent tweaking his High Ground remake, "Higher Ground" as a sort of collaboration (though most of the work was already done by the time I got there).
I think we sufficiently altered the map to flow a little better and award exploration, and obviously some of the less entertaining stuff (starting on the beach and fighting tooth and nail to get uphill while being sniped, etc.) is gone simply because there are limits to forge.
Anyways, when HaloGAF customs go down this weekend, maybe slip it in for testing purposes if we get it to a satisfactory level in time? I'll send Zoo a message and hopefully we can do some last minute checking before tomorrow night. If it does end up in the rotation, if someone could save the film (in case one or both of us can't make it) that'd be great. So far it looks to be a fun map.

Goddamn it. I keep telling myself i won't watch the videos of campaign anymore yet I do. I love the graphics changes except one thing still bugs me. So far every damn level we've seen has been damn bright. There is no atmospheric darker areas it seems anymore.

Yeah, seems in exchange of shadows there's this blue fog at a certain distance.PsychoRaven said:
Edit: It still hurts hearing that CE doesn't get a remade version of its own multiplayer because Reach is a year old so as to not cannibalize the population.

WOW @ PoA 2011 and how you find terminals. Awesome!

I don't think that's fog really but just the reflection of all the bright blue lighting washing out details from a distance. Course we have to remember that this is off camera and part of it was 3D so it's going to appear blurry to us. I would love a more direct feed look to see for myself.
It does worry me though that they're going overboard with the brightness. And yea. I'll always be pissed over the lack of the original's multiplayer but still think that for what we're getting it's worth the 40 bones.

The super brightness really kills a lot of the atmosphere. You can see it the first time in that demo when chat switches back how things that were in shadow are just a slightly darker gray now.
You can see it really well where you have to jump the pipes. In the old game? That corridor is dark and moody, like the lights have blown out. In the new? Brightly lit with some gray smudge on the ground.
That really bothers me. It seems like a small thing, but it really ruins the atmosphere. It's even worse on the 343 Guilty Spark vid from a few weeks ago, because the claustrophobia and spookiness was the entire point of that level and is completely absent from the new engine.
That terminal, though, was awesome. I love how the effort was made to completely fit in the context of the game as opposed to just a random bonus.
