Not to start the "tie" game argument again, but I like the way bungie is taking gametypes, where there are more possible points per round to better decide between the better team.
Hopefully they address some of the complaints with Halo 3 objectives; ie the flag return rules. Considering how aggressive they have been in addressing other complaints, I expect progress.

The actions shots from the MP make my pants wet. My only complaint from today's info is that generator defense is only 3 vs. 3. I was hoping for 8 vs. 8 or at least 6 vs. 6. Oh well, even Bungie can't get everything perfect(although they come about as close as possible).

Not counting the Invasion and the NT1 playlist because I haven't played either game modes, Grab Bag easily appeals to me the most. However, I'm hoping I enjoy NT1 and Invasion so much that my time will be split down the middle between the two playlists.GhaleonEB said:

There's a separate thread for a reason, go post Halo 2 nostalgia inducing Youtube videos in that thread where it would be appreciated.

Okay so the one thing I am not liking is the ammo counts. Why are the rockets as small as the AR rounds when there are only ever 2 to account for?
Every other Halo has made the clip of each weapon take up the entire allocated ammo count spot.
This clip of mine has Rockets in it, just look at the ammo count difference!
Ah well, as far as minor complaints go, that's pretty minor.

I think it's "gametypes" week, and this was part of it, while G4TV's reveal of Invasion is the other part.

It's alright. I had a feeling I read that more harshly than I should've. I'm sorry too.Dani said:

Its too bad the flamethrower is gone, I would have liked to see them expand on the fire effects and make it burn foliage.
Then again, the gun was so rarely used its kinda like it wasn't there.
Get fired, here's why:Shishka said:
They just need to find a reason.
As much as I'm looking forward to some Slayer Pro matches, having that (everyone with rifles , all sprint, no radar) in the same playlist as regular Slayer (all AAs, radar) on the same playlist seems annoying, since I will either be on the mood for one, or for the other since they're are probably very different experiences. And does this mean there won't be the occasional DMR start loadout in regular slayer with motion tracker and people using all kinds of AAs??

I think the voting system and the fact that you are playing with the same people in each game will have a pretty big effect on that letters.
Letters said:
So... You're annoyed because two different things you want to do will be in the same playlist, because the experiences will be different. Basically, you're annoyed that you might not have to change playlists every time you want to shift into a different mode of Slayer.
Okay... Yeah, I'm not sure I should help you there. I should probably be fired.

Nope. Never. Not going to happen. Ever. You'll never see it.
In the beta.
Wow, just the time you decide to reply to one of these "fire shishka" posts.
I was trying to make make fun of similar posts from the past... I personally will take whatever you playlist djs shove down my throat, I don't really care, there's always something fun to do in matchmaking. Kind of feel bad you took it seriously, I would never really wish for you or anyone to be fired. Sorry.
edit- to be clear, I was being serious about my concerns, I was only joking in the way I made the post all aggressive, caring way too much about it to actually be asking for you to be fired.

Thanks for the Bnet Bump, Urk. And for the comments here. I'd had the idea for a chopper montage about a year ago and started saving clips then but stopped for quite some time. Wasn't really meant to be a "here's all my pro plays" ordeal but more about why the chopper is the funnest piece of the vehicle sandbox and how I'll miss it dearly. I don't even think my chopper experience is best displayed by clips as I'm a more conservative player and pride my survivability in the seat.
Didn't expect to see the gametype content come out today (or I'd have waited to post my video on a slower day) but the assets are really awesome. Gametypes seem cool but the details on how they work are pretty unclear in the article so we'll have to wait until Friday to get those cleared up and I can really begin imagining how they'll play. Not sure what I think of Reach's vehicle sandbox so I'm hesitant on getting excited for "vehicle-full frenzy" that is Invasion but I like hearing that it's multi-stage. IMO vehicles should be used sparingly and not like it is with 3's heavies where they're disposable and respawn every 30 seconds.
As far as playlists are concerned, I'd rather have a smaller number of playlists with greater variety within each than have separate playlists for everything. It does bum me out that DMR+pistol starts is limited to sprint-only gametypes but that gametype sounds fun as hell.

I was not offended, and didn't take you seriously. Internet sarcasm doesn't work without the proper emoticons, but I was riffing on your sarcasm with my own.
No harm done, other than the brief second of time lost trying to figure out if you actually said what I thought you said.

Why do people not like the Halo 3 version of Territories? I like 3 Plots too, glad its back, but whats wrong or unbalanced about an attack/defense variant of territories? I've always enjoyed it.
All the modes sound great, especially Stockpile. It's still shocking to hear people describe Headhunter in detail as if it hasn't been around forever, but I guess this is the first time its hit consoles?
Still want to hear more about Invasion though.

The invasion map is "bigger than Sandbox" but it's 6v6 in the beta. It probably wouldn't be crazy to think the multi-stage aspect of the Invasion gametype is similar to Battlefield's Rush mode where the map opens up in sections as the offensive team progresses so the playable space at any instant could be smaller in size but still big enough for vehicles.Kuroyume said:

Anyone know what the requirements for "visual flair" in Reach are? Do I just have to complete one matchmaking game today?
And keep in mind that Halo 3's BTB playlist in the Beta was limited to 6v6, so it's not a foregone conclusion that the shipping game will be limited to the same player counts. I'll be surprised if Invasion isn't 8v8 in the end. If it's not on a map of that size, I'm not sure where it could be.Kuroyume said:
But as Eazy said, perhaps the compartmentalization of the map will make for more dense encounters than say, 6v6 on Sandtrap.

I just hope with the amount of silence on invasion and boneyard that when it is announced, that it will blow our minds, there is always that feeling that it will be sorta a let down, but I highly doubt it. I'm just anxious to know what it is.
Did anybody see the Did you Know about sending messages after a match? The end quoted "Oh, there you are!"

I like that the AR has wear on it, but it would be REALLY cool if there were 3 or 4 different models for the more common guns, with different wear on each one. Like they've been used in different ways
