Halo Reach Reveal Thread - Matchmaking/Multiplayer Details Revealed

Good games tonight. I got a killtac out of it that that I'll probably end up using for the montage (I don't think I've legitimately gotten over an overkill outside of griffball), so that was cool. Not having vhfive to betray did leave me feeling empty on the inside, though.
 
Here's my four submissions. Two funny dumb things, one skill clip and one nade stick.

Clutch
Uber Stick
Vh Clutch Cap
Hornet vs. Merg

Only the Vhfive cap is rendered.

Customs tonight were fun, even though my team got donged on. Was surprized to see that the party was full, and the population stayed high for most of the night. Got in a few competitve games at the end that were a lot of fun.

I only got in for the last game, sadface.
But you raped. And it was the best map.

I guess my last question to you guys, regarding the montage, is which name would you rather have displayed? GAF or XBL? Needs to be a group vote thing.

Repost:

"3) This upcoming Tuesday will be the last day you will be able to send out your clips. Everything else will be disregarded afterwards."

bah, won't be back til Wednesday. oh well

The official title should be "A Few Focused ARs"

For mine, it's be Magni if possible. That, or GAF name.
 
Just to follow on from DualX2 a little. So far I've been using GAF handles where possible. I know pretty much everyone's GT so its not a problem. There's a couple of Tags I don't recognise but I'll figure those out.

We'll call Tuesday the cut-off for submissions, or I'll never get this thing done :lol

Reminds me, I'd better PM DualX mine :p

Please use GAF names, so that everyone here knows who everyone is, if in doubt about some, make a post asking who is who.

Sad that I missed customs.

Good times tonight guys. Couple random personal highlights:

The end of the Standoff game was delightfully chaotic.

I haz some minutes if anyone else had highlights they want rendered. Also, I'll try to make it so our next game on Avalanche runs longer.

Haha, that was me in the Ghost, I saw a bunch of reds in the base and really wanted to splatter all of you, it didnt work out :lol

If your talking about the Avalanche game im thinking of, the start of that match was so funny, I went to sniper spawn and stared at the AR you put there, I went across to your side and saw Tashi just staring at it aswell.

I heard you say you havent put any snipers on any of your maps so I was wondering what would be there, but seeing the AR felt like a Rick Roll, totally unexpected :lol

Holy crap you still have it. Awesome.

That match on Sandbox was all fucking sorts of awesome though.

Those generals had played so much BTB (a couple with over 4k exp) and just glancing through their history it seems like we delivered their only lose in ages.

Everyone please disregard my -21 k/d spread.

I still have until Tuesday to submit some films, right? Do they have to be already rendered? (I don't think I have any points.) How many clips should I submit? Do they have to be X amount of seconds long? I haven't been paying much attention, sorry. I've had a busy week.

I remember that match! Wow, that was last June!? Time fuckin' flies.

My thanks to whoever rendered my videos. Now everyone knows how unleet I am. This montage makes me sorry that I never save films. All of mine are from ages ago.
No worries, mine is for sure the most pathetic segment of the whole thing. I occasionally pull off amazing stuff in Halo but I always forget to save.

:lol :lol Funny thing is he had the rockets, so I probably screwed us over right there.

A big thanks to everyone for the Customs fun last night and my apologies to anyone that wasn't able to join as we were truly oversubscribed for some time - something I hadn't expected. :lol

That is kinda funny because the same thing happened to me last night complements of EazyB.
 
I tried hopping on last night for some games... But the T3 Quality internet out here at camp is now worse than dial up for some insane reason...

Also when I finally did get online I noticed the party was full :(

I will try and get on tonight, hopefully for some customs or MM 'romping'.
 
Today marks the second day of our first full campaign mission play-test, where participants get to play through every mission of the game and provide feedback. It’s always brutal getting feedback at this stage of development, because the game is really just now coming together, but it’s invaluable for us and allows us to make course corrections if needed. At this stage, AI are still doing really silly things, the environments are not complete, and we still have “robot voice” providing much of our mission dialogue.​

More here.

I considered doing something a bit more for those looking for the long rifle - a BR, perhaps - but that was just more my style.

Nice stick, but I like how you ended it just before you died.:lol
A lot of my clips mysteriously end that way. You might say I don't die because those sections are MIA, or something.

Dax01 said:
Don't know how many render minutes you have, but if you could render this scene from last night, that'd be great. It was the highlight of the night for me.
Done.

So. Awesome. :lol

RE: Avalanche (or Ghavalanche, rather). Sorry to experiment on everyone, but I was looking to see how some of the changes I made worked out. When our team was getting pounded by two Wraiths and two Hornets, I was looking to see how the shifts I made to spawns, the power drain, rockets, Chopper and a few other tweaks would play out. We were able to use a combination of them to beat the assault off, so I was satisfied that the balance worked out the way I had hoped.

I was also delighted when someone scored so we could end the freaking game. Good grief.

New post on Noble Actual.

Campaign is playable, Marty's getting all of the voice recordings, and Marcus likes to read our thoughts. Awesome.

Edit: I can see I'm beaten. Still, awesome to know that there are people right now playing the campaign.

THx for the headsup. This gets me so excited!

Lots of fun last night, especially playing against you SouthPaw Pro's :lol

I got these 4 from last night:
Suffering from Bagel's Road Rage
Trap Door
Flag Chopper (sorry about the betrayal)
Door Stick

All together, they're a little over a minute long, so if anyone has some extra rendering time that they won't use, I'd really appreciate it if this could be rendered

And I'll also submit them for the montage
Rendered, but you might want to PM DualX with those, just so he sees them for sure.

Amazing gif :lol

Update on Noble Actual sounds good. Still heavily anticipating MP info though :)
Had an okay time in customs, would have been great if I didn't play like shit and get lost in 75% of the maps :lol

So say I PMd clips to Bladed earlier this week. Should I message them to you also Dual?

I captured and edited some footage of EuroGAF customs Jenga match from last autumn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VpmMEMdFB0

Nothing special, but I thought to throw you a link. Here's also a longer video following our Annual run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4h4rQlgKwA

I remember that Jenga one! Is that Bagel jumping the gap to help destroy the tower? :lol

omg Jenga Tower looks incredible :lol

What an awesome idea for a map.


I recently got a Tetris map, which is also awesome and provides hilarious moments.

We have to try it next time

This sounds awesome. My favorite part of customs is definitely the mini-games at the end (Jenga, DaloCha [or whatever it's called], Hallway, that one where you float up, Hallway).

It's such a shame there isn't something like Forza 3's Storefront for Halo 3's custom content. Yeah, Bungie.net offers some of the functionality, but storefront-like solution would really make the weird-but-awesome multiplayer modes more popular. It would benefit the whole game and make the community much stronger. Maybe for Reach...

Keighley is hinting at a possible GTTV Reach episode soon. Probably in a few weeks.

Link? Here's hoping it's true and we finally our first look at multiplayer.
