I still haven't had a chance to open my limited edition one. It's still shrink-wrapped in the box it shipped in.

Ghaleon was banned? Sucks. The past two weeks went pretty quickly for me.

Welcome back

 

[Steelyuhas]

You guys REALLY make me want to get Battlefield again. I had assumed the worst based on the beta but if that trailer is indicative of Xbox gameplay I want in! This is a seriously tough time to pick and choose games.

Pretty sure it's going to be awesome

Wow that went by fast. Get on that, its an awesome book.

You won't be disappointed. I bought it after missing out on Encyclopedia round 1 and the Halo 3 art book when I decided to wait, plus Amazon has it on sale.

 

[Domino Theory]

Hopefully we start getting news on what 343i's going to do with matchmaking once CEA releases.

I'll keep it in mind. Maybe I can convince one of my parents it'd make a nice holiday present. :lol

The "Terms of Use" for the Android app has some interesting mentions of Virtual Currency.

Edit: The Bungie facebook page just posted some halloween pumpkin templates. One of them is the Destiny logo. Another is the Phoenix logo.

 

[FyreWulff]

Wasn't expecting the Phoenix logo when I clicked the link from HBO.

Damn, I can't wait for the first big Destiny reveal. The game's not even announced and it already gives me tingly excitement feelings.

I love the Shinatama one. Nice to see Oni get some love from them.

Game launches are exhausting. Phew.

I'm sad to hear about Ghaleon's ban. Hopefully he'll be back before OT7.

Seriously doubt it seeing as how we're only a bit more then 10 pages away. So a simple thousand posts or so and we're to it.

[erpg]

What the hell is Headhunter.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

That's the gametype that is rare where you kill people and pick up skulls. Then you have to try and get to a scoring zone without dying or you drop all the skulls you've collected.

 

[senador]

Goooooo.

I hope they can be done in customs.

Nope. Matchmaking only from the descriptions there.

Right, but some of the current Reach "matchmaking only" ones can be had in customs.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Sneaky way for 343i to extend Reach's Achievements. I wonder what the ratio is, campaign to mp achievements.

License to Kill
Run over 5 people with a Ghost in a matchmade game.

Bah!

H3 had similar achievements with "Look both ways" (splatter spree) and "Ghost Patrol"(3 kills with a ghost). I never liked the way those particular achievements directed the gameplay.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Looks like Anniversary marks the end of me having all of Reach's achievements.

 

[erpg]

That's the gametype that is rare where you kill people and pick up skulls. Then you have to try and get to a scoring zone without dying or you drop all the skulls you've collected.

Rocket Race, Stockpile, Headhunter.

Okay, got it.

 

[Havok]

Are you kidding me? Gametype specific achievements again. With the biggest emphasis placed on Headhunter, the gametype that nobody likes.

Come on. Multiplayer achievements already suck. Somehow, all of the Halo multiplayer achievements are worse than almost any other multiplayer achievements out there. That's seriously impressive.

All you're doing is making people act like jackholes in matchmaking. Now we have assholes in Ghosts not going after the flag, we have people not firing their weapon in order to stick the flag carrier (who they let grab the flag instead of guarding the base), we have people watching their teammates in Headhunter waiting for them to die, and we have people jetpacking 3 feet off the ground the entire game. Good job, you really nailed it! There's a way to do this stuff right. It's not emphasizing completely nonsensical gameplay that just reinforces the population's idiotic behavior.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yea. I don't like achievements that force you into a gametype, playlist, or just change your playstyle. That's why I honestly don't really go out of my way to get multiplayer achievements anymore because I'm not that good and at the same time it forces you to play how you wouldn't without it existing. However if it can be gotten with a group or in a custom then I sometimes get them.

 

[Domino Theory]

Yikes, looks like 343 didn't learn anything from Bungie's MP achievements.

 

[Havok]

Yikes, looks like 343 didn't learn anything from Bungie's MP achievements.

Or their own (bad) Defiant ones.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yikes, looks like 343 didn't learn anything from Bungie's MP achievements.

On the contrary. They learned how to make theirs just as bad. lol

 

[MrBig]

Ugh. Those are worthless achievements. I'll just do them in customs and not worry about them.

e: though Stick it to the Man! is cool.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Of all the COD influences I hate in a lot of games, their lack of multiplayer achievements is something other developers should imitate.

 

[feel]

Dammit 343i, you're not supposed to follow bungie's footsteps that precisely! Copy the good and learn from the bad.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Ok so who here wants to boost for these Achievements? No way in hell am I doing those.

 

[blamite]

Dammit 343, you ust made me remember how much I hate Headhunter. And Infection. And jetpacks.

I do not like these achievements.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Ok so who here wants to boost for these Achievements? No way in hell am I doing those.

Can they be boosted? Aren't the playlists they're in limited to how many can join as a group?

 

[Havok]

Can they be boosted. Aren't the playlists they're in limited to how many can join as a group?

Some of them aren't - or at least party splitting is turned on whenever I've seen it Lets just ponder how ridiculous that is.

 

[erpg]

Can they be boosted? Aren't the playlists they're in limited to how many can join as a group?

Ideally, 343i would release the matchmaking gametype for Noble achievements, and Anniversary achievements, so we can just get this garbage done with in customs like we did with Defiant.

 

[MrBig]

Can they be boosted? Aren't the playlists they're in limited to how many can join as a group?

You don't even have to go that far. You can just load the gametypes in customs.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Some of them aren't. Lets just ponder how ridiculous that is.

Yea. I honestly wish that if they're going to have MP achievements, make them so they can be accomplished in custom games. If not at least make them achievements that make you work for them and can be gotten over time via playing the game. Make them something like get 1,000 head shots, or 1,000 grenade sticks. Stuff that you would get over time playing multiplayer.

You don't even have to go that far. You can just load the gametypes in customs.

Um they say they can only be gotten in matchmaking so I don't think that would work.

*Edit*

Wait you can get achievements in customs that you shouldn't be able to? Really? Why haven't I heard of this? Hmmmm

 

[Ken]

Ok so who here wants to boost for these Achievements?

That's no fun.

 

[FyreWulff]

That puts Reach up to 1650. Leaving themselves room for one more DLC after that?

Spoiler

snkkktaahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Havok]

That's no fun.

Neither is screwing around in a matchmaking game for any of those achievements instead of playing for the objective.
