Finally 1700/1700 Reach until the next batch of shitty achievements. Thanks fellas.

I think those are the last. I hope so.
Then again, I haven't touched Reach in a while... Part of me just doesn't even give a crap aobut that "1400/1700" sitting in my dashboard anymore.

I hope so too but there's still room left for 50 more.

There's room, but I don't see them adding more content to the game this year.

Xbox retail games can have 2000 points now and upto 99 achievements ( monster hunter frontier and orange box respectively) even then I doubt that's any kind of hard limit if 343 wanted 2500 for halo 4 + dlc is imagine MS wouldn't say no. But I agree its doubtful reach will get more if any dlc comes for reach I can see it being a 2 map map pack to send reach on its way

Learn to block OS spawn and Prisoner spawns are fine.

I hate it when they give you an abnormal amount of Gamerscore, though. It's just 50 away from the normal 1750, was it so hard to add 50 to an achievement from the last pack?
Other games that do this shit:
Magna Carta 2 = 1240
Condemned = 970
-_-
Nobody should have to learn anything in order to prevent enemies from spawning two feet away from them when a full half of the map is completely unused. There are two spawn zones that are used on that map with any sort of regularity: OS spawn and the 1st floor hallway below OS. One is a nearly unassailable position from the first floor with a good setup, the other is an immediate explosive death trap half the time.
That's not fine, it's unacceptable given that there are so many other places to spawn people. I could probably count the times I've respawned on the blue side (top or bottom blue hallways would be better than the deathtrap or surprise CQB OS spawn, I don't care which) on one hand.
Halo Wars is the same way. 20$ of DLC worth a total of 200 extra points combined for 1200 total. Halo Wars' DLC pricing and achievements are jokes, which is a shame since the disc ones were done so well (besides the General one).
I waited 2 years for MS to finally drop them both to 50% off for a day before I bought the gametype DLC. And MS / 343 continue the trend by putting their new gametypes behind a paywall in Reach as well if you want to play them in matchmaking. Wars felt like a preview of MS's eventual post launch content policies.
edit: ps need moar maps
I spilled chocolate milk on myself for breakfast. Otherwise pretty good. I'll also be going through all of the Halo campaigns in canonical order today and tomorrow with a friend of mine.
I have actually been working 40+ hours a week since June without pay. Requirement to get licensed.

Pretty much. You could tell that Bungie wanted to go one way with DLC and Microsoft wanted to go another. Sadly at the end of the day Microsoft wins because they owned Bungie and now totally own Halo. Sadly I see the DLC situation only getting worse with future games in the series. I see the Season passes, skins, etc all coming. It's not going to be pretty at all I fear.
I don't mind if Halo gets a Season pass as long as its cheaper getting it that way vs purchasing DLC individually, actual maps and not some armor dlc and it comes out in reasonable time.
Its pretty much guaranteed Halo 4 will get a Season Pass.

Normally, I wouldn't have time to check, and when I get home I'm pages behind. Some news might help this problem. I blame a dedicated Primordium thread.

I think it would be for the best if you and your friend rolled Republic on Keller's Void. Just throwing it out there.

Looks like I'm a no one for you. Nah you're right, I ain't playing Reach tonight. Too much other games I have to finished first.
Nope. Still good though.
I chuckled.
Fuck. No one's on.

Its pretty much commonly understood that after the Halo firings the forerunners re-seeded the galaxy with life. Right?
Where the hell do dinosaurs fit into all of this!??
Frankie, I demand answers. If Halo 4 isnt about a dinosaur forerunner conspiracy I will be dissapoint, I just cant handle any other storyline because of how broken the fiction is. Theres still time to change the storyline, set things right.

Finished Batman: Arkham City and boy was it good, the stuff the alude to with the side-stories is fantastic. The way Rocksteady handled the story in this one was also really good, so the future installments are gonna get even better story wise.
Ohh wait, this is not the AC thread. Played some Reach for the first time this year! Good two vanilla matches.

Well, all the forerunner stuff happened 100.000 years ago. If I'm right, that would be around the primitive human, ice age times. I don't know if they took earth's entire population of animals but they probably had to take most of the flora and fauna.
VVVVVV Nope, there are only 5 playlists that require you to have DLC if I recall it correctly. You can play all the other playlists just fine without them. DLC doesn't show up most of the time.

But I mean long before we roamed the earth dinosaurs did. We evolved after they died out.
Right, im not just being stupid here?
When I say merely joking, Halo 4's entire storyline had better be about it and explain it all or Halo's canon is wrong. Fix it Frankie.

I'm just sayin', instead of complaining about it, learn to manipulate it.
DLC is not required for any playlist that isn't a playlist dedicated to DLC maps. So you get the full experience with just the Halo Reach disc. Grab the anniversary map pack if you end up liking the game though. They are a lot of fun.

The DLC maps are better than the disc maps, but I wouldn't say they're absolutely necessary. Most of the playlists do not require DLC.
All the DLC is ace though, but you really don't need them to play Reach MP.
Edit: Well, I was late with my advice
Still it's the same as everybody else.Prisoner was garbage in CE also, at least compared to Battle Creek, Chill Out and Damnation.
The designs were altered in H2 because the gameplay has changed and made for better flow of the map. Ladders to vents, for instance, instantly made Warlock better to play than Wizard was, or Battle Creek's changes by the ramps being included.

Oh man I thought Prisoner was an incredible map in the CE days. One of my top favorites for sure.
I will admit I didn't play a crap ton on it, but I never liked it in what I did play nor did I like Derelict.
My favorite moments were CTF Sidewinder in LAN, even worked fun in 6v6.
