I've been playing Reach recently. Anniversary Classic playlist is great. BTB too. Except Spire. Fuck that map.
It's a fun game.
Why not get the digital version so you don't have to disc swap anymore?

I need the english version of the game.
Microsoft gonna microsoft.
Reach with free dlc would be awesome, maybe you would be able to actually play a good map then

I need a couple too. I'm down.Since Reach is gonna be free, I might as well ask. Does anyone want toboostlegitimately earn some achievements for it? I just need these two
I'd much rather play Reach than Destiny.
Weirdo!
I'm trying not to spoil myself for the raid that just opened but from what I'm reading In the GAF OT it's really really hard and has much more unique and fun gameplay than the base game. Looks like bungie saved their best for Raid.
Now if only I could get some GODDAMN LEGENDARY ITEMS

You level 26 yet?
Stuck at 24 with shit luck. I've never seen a purple drop in the wild and never even see anyone get anything purple in post game rewards.
I'm just leveling faction/vanguard to buy their gear since it's the only thing that will guarantee me a purple item. Hopefully I come across one along the way...

The best part of destiny is getting a purple engram and it ends up being an uncommon item. Not like I need better armor or anything...
Kyle may be the oldest early twenty-something on the planet. Guy knows a lot about home improvements and gaping anal porn.
Seriously. Only thing that even came close to Halo 3 death squads.
Tawpgun is a babby when it comes to these revolutionary loot, grindcore games. He just doesn't get the struggle.

Nope. They're playing it close to the vest atm. Tashi promised to give us footage in glorious 144p barn-tier quality, though!

Reach is free. Perfect time to deploy that promised Reach playlist update.
I'd expect 343 to be at Eurogamer Expo in a week (that's where Frankie introduced the Forerunner level back in 2012), but they're still not on the schedule. I think we'll know tomorrow with the next Bulletin.
Issues #10-12 still have not been released, which will continue Blue Team's story.
#13 will start a new story.
Of course it will.
Who actually wants these? I feel so left behind because I refuse to pay for shitty comics that are obviously just rushed and thrown out the door. How irritating.
They're updating Reach playlists?
Like a year ago or something
Bad art aside, some of the story bits are cool. I however would not advise anybody to spend money on it, rather go buy a book or something. Books are cool, reading is cool, Plywood helped me see that.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Halo 2 Anniversary/Master Chief Collection winds up rushed at crunch time to hit the release date just like Halo 2 was. Hopefully not, though.
Feed us details, Frankie. We're hungry.
Remember when they promised Halo 3 playlist updates? And we waited like 2 years and never got anything?
It's a comic; in general (and especially with the art they've got) you wouldn't really be able to tell who's who. Even different armor doesn't often cut it (hence why in Reach they were pulling them off all the time.)
Now, in game, I dunno why they wouldn't stick with the ODST polarizing visor effect; that worked quite nicely.
Yo Frankie, where is that direct feed Halo 3 1080p/60FPS footage or any other new info for the MCC?
I'm down for some Reach tonight. If anybody sees me online, just invite. Won't have a mic though.
Please tell me Palmer dies.

Palmer > Locke
Who is this for?
Like, marketing wise, who is this for? If you're die hard enough to be reading Halo comics there's no reason to have a jumping-on point, and if you're not die hard enough to be reading the Halo comics you probably have enough sense to not read the Halo comics without absorbing the copious amounts of backstory which would, at that point, make you enough of a die hard to read Escalation from the beginning.
There's just so much shit happening with the narrative now it's hard to keep track of it all.
Is this going to be required reading to understand what Halo 5 is about? Will it actually make Halo 5 understandable, unlike the Forerunner Saga and the Kilo-Five trilogy for Halo 4?

Please lend me your time machine, I want to go grab a sports almanac.
I don't think it's going to matter much, honestly.
Frankie said no, it will not. I have my doubts though. Would be nice, if they have like a super long prologue cutscene with all these events in Halo 5.

Do we know how long they've been playing for?
Well this one stream I checked in on like 5am my time, and they had been going since it opened.
They are still going and it is 1pm my time...
Gonna go with significantly harder than LASO.

Or just more tedious. Second boss seems to be a pure blooded bullet sponge.
So some nerds I know are putting together a Halo LAN party. No idea why, but I decided to go and I'll most likely attempt to troll with needler, sticks, and splatters.
Anyway.
How many Xbox 360's can you LAN together in one party? I assume it's at least 8?
How many OG Xbox can you LAN together? I assume it's only 4?

A raid boss has never existed that is not a 'damage sponge'

I don't mean that he takes a lot of shots, I mean that from what I've seen and heard (haven't been watching constantly, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) he's basically like the Moon strike boss all over again; hits like a truck, plods around, takes a lot of hits, but not a lot else going on. The first boss was apparently pretty good, though.
I would, but I've put myself on a self imposed no Halo policy until November. I don't want to risk burning out on Halo prematurely.
The population counter is definitely working again.
