If that happens, i'm convinced CoD players have found a way to clone themselves to play all 3 games at the same time.Tashi0106 said:

So we found out in the Anniversary OT how the code works. It's a code to download the maps to your hdd from live. Frankie says that he thinks the map pack is about 2 gigs. So if you're tight on space you might want to start clearing off some for it.

Armour Lock is working as intended and designed. It is utterly broken/breaks the game. I don't think the Halo 3 BR is broken (perhaps from a netcode pov, it is) but I keep seeing the gambit of 'developer intent' used on here in an attempt to deliver finality to an argument when developer intent doesn't mean anything in a world where their product is played millions of times over globally across several years. Their intent is also not necessarily the right one for the game.

I'm not. Because they're never fixed in forge. I was going to make a post the other day about how integral weapon choice and placement is to a map and how this is sometimes underestimated. Take Countdown for example: when I look back on Reach I will remember that as one of the worst maps in the game. The reason? Shotgun, Sword and Concussion Rifle as the power weapons on a tight corridor map. I don't play Squad anymore because practically every game I play in the playlist, Countdown is voted for; it's popular because scrubs can get kills on it with sprint shotgun/sword, plain and simple.
It's such a shame because objectively, I can look at the actual geometry and flow of the map and say it's designed very well and it plays brilliantly in MLG with sniper and rockets. It could be one of the best maps in the game. But there you have it; a map ruined by an overabundance of (close range) power weapons and poor placement. When the game only shipped with a handful of 4v4 viable maps it becomes pretty critical for the title itself.
One can only hope that if the forthcoming maps have problems with power weapon saturation then this is swiftly resolved via a mm update.
Question for Frankie, David or anyone who knows
How much mb will the 7 maps eat up on my harddrive? I'm still on the 20 gb and having to delete and micromanage different game saves in order to free up space; be nice to know in advance so I can reserve the appropriate space

Or you know, Dedis? Better netcode?. Why handicap a player its the worst possible choice. Honestly host advantage with the current netcode isnt as bad as people make out most of the time, it can be bad but i think people have a few bad games and the "broken game" placebo effect comes into play with people trashing everything.Tunavi said:
Halo reach isnt perfect, halo 2 and 3 played much better from a gameplay standpoint but regarding connections and host reach plays much better than either of those. Being from the UK shotguns in H2 became unusable off host and it partly carried on with 3 however i can use them in reach flawlessly for the most part.
The big mistakes in reach to me are player movement and jump height creating a "heavy weight" effect which im not a fan of, and the move more towards player friendly gameplay. Id argue the skill gap is smaller in reach than any other halo game and thats something i really dislike.

Such a beautiful song.
Me and two on my FL are in the same predicament. Credit Limited and Black stats all over.
I noticed in the game we were played just now that almost everybody's emblems had turned default.
Ouch. Hope its nothing drastic.
Edit:
Well, back to black again!
I think I'm gonna sleep this one through.

Nevermind, its back for me.

He's done, I think I'll probably go play some Uncharted 3. I might be up for Gears 3 later if you're interested.Ken said:

Hmm, I might just pick up the maps off Live early since I can't afford CEA but have some MS points leftover and I don't want to miss out on the sweet maps.
Will I be able to give away the CEA Reach map codes that come with CEA when I do pick it up if I do this? Is there any region restriction on them?
Might make for a nice giveaway.

I wouldn't think there would be. Haven't seen anything with Reigon restrictions before. Course I don't buy much DLC.
Maps on the same exact day as Anniversary seems like it'd be losing them sales but whatever. Neat. And 5$ cheaper than I thought they'd go.
Halo 1 Originals + Maps (30$) are cheaper than Anniversary. And you get the original LAN. So the new achievements and graphics are worth 10$
Is that a new hallway on Headlong?

Uh... what?
Overlap bolded. Why isn't Anniversary Squad just Vanilla Reach? (TU Reach, if you're Fyrewulff.)

Don't forget online co-op and the kinect features. *rolls eyes @ the second half of that sentence*
And yea not a fan of the classic playlists mode choices one bit.
Those playlists are a little weird. The overlap is strange, but understandable. I just don't see all five of these maintaining the population they need to be successful, especially with the blurred lines between them. Also,
No BTB Snipers please. It's a travesty. Headhunter is an abomination, as is Hot Potato. Elite Slayer is a novelty that should stay in Multiteam. What makes Anniversary Snipers something that should exist in its own right? How could it possibly be different enough to warrant another gametype? The thing is, Anniversary Squad is what had me interested the most with the TU stuff (I'm not sold on the 3SK stuff yet without playing it, and 85% is a sublime balance even with poor bleedthrough), but I don't want any of that fringe stuff, especially not now that the playlist that was supposed to be purged of it, Objective, is now totally filled with that garbage.

Welp, looks like I'll be spending all my time in Anniversary Classic. Let's just really hope the population can sustain it.
