Halo: Reach |OT6| There Are Those Who Said This Day Would Never Come

Pistol is a weeeee bit overkill. It shoots way too fast for the damage it deals. Impossible to get away from it, especially without sprint.

If you missed it from the bulletin:

One more difficult issue is that the very rare Halo: Reach “Preview Disc” (a tiny amount of these discs were given to certain community members and it has nothing to do with either Games on Demand versions or normal retail discs) cannot be updated with a conventional TU. 343 is hard at work trying to come up with a solution for that small, but understandably vocal group of people.

*Edit* HAHA at the same time we posted this. lol Oh well thoughts still relevant.

Well this makes me think it's going to be awhile for Preview disc users.

IT'S GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:_)

The lack of bloom and the bleedthrough that is, anyone have a more classic variation with higher speed and no AAs?

or what are the settings on the classic that currently on MM? So I can give it a try myself (removing pistol and needle too)



VV wtf why are you not playing with it yourself? fuck what those kids think

Watching Ryanoob's stream and he is LOVING it. The game is being played at a breakneck speed, pro's reaction times are even more highlighted by the fact they no longer have to slow down to shoot accurately.

Also, Strongside - "It's like Halo 2 all over again"

Everyone's high on it right now. Let's live with it for a while. I want to play some MLG 4v4 with it, not too many though, I have to practice for the event :p

In my experience at HaloFest, zero bloom DMRs made for a fantastic game on smallish maps with small teams. It felt right as rain. I look forward to testing it in a big team setting with you guys later tonight, hopefully. I suspect I will not like it so much in that context, but we'll see.

That pistol is really ridiculous at close range.

Anything with over 8 players is overkill in my opinion. Already having a better experience with just 4 vs. 4.

MLG settings with Zero Bloom, it is on FFA, so just change to teams if necessary. Jump height/Gravity and player speed is higher so it plays faster. But there are still NR's and AA's on there. Sprint only with Evade/Jetpack pickup only of course.

Well I like Zero Bloom BUT in all of its goodness it only highlights how bad the maps and there spawns are.

Then again, I was just playing 6v6 Boardwalk and Tempest has always had bad spawns.

Might need to restart your router or check to see if torrents are running.

Alternately, exit out and pull up your memory device and clear it's cache and attempt to update again.

How do you remove AAs completely in the settings? Do I have to change each loadout individually to HIDDEN? Isn't there some master setting?

Thanks but I'm not looking to play anything with sprint or AA pickups. Just some normal Halo 2 fast moving high jumping Team BR type stuff.

You have to change each one to HIDDEN, but only for Spartan Loadouts

The preview disc problem better get sorted. Don't want to lose out because I was feeling generous and gave my retail away.

I had a post up above. AL is nerfed and Camo is changed. Didn't get a chance to test sword blocks.

Thank guys. Applying all of those to a gametype except for the melee stuff which I think is unnecessary now. Also AR secondary.

I just copypasted that list, and forgot to take out the damage change. Don't alter that for a better experience.

Took me about an hour of total searching off and on today to finally get into a single game of SWAT to get today's headshot challenge. Currently sitting in a Griffball search forever finding the same (apparently) 3 other people over and over, then the search resets.

I really appreciate your TU completely breaking matchmaking for preview/GoD owners, thanks. I can live the with the mild annoyance of not getting to check out the new stuff right this second, but this is making multiplayer challenges literally impossible (took me 1 hour+ to get into one game for 15 kills, somehow don't think I'm getting 125 kills today).

Who knew retail copies would sell far more than the GoD version that released months after?
