I got it Saturday and haven't played much due to college but how long did it take some of you to get used to the new melee distance? I played the beta and I still can't get used to it, I melee air so many times it's incredibly frustrating. Also I still don't like the fact that the first melee just removes shields, makes all your previous shooting completely irrelevant and puts the AR in the worthless weapon hall of fame. The other big thing is the quitters, happens all the time in Invasion when they don't like the map or game type, you immediately start like 2 men down so often.

I hate to keep repeating basically the same thing, but this game just isn't on the same level as Halo 2 and 3 when it comes to MP. There are no longer those moments of being rushed by 3 or 4 guys and pulling off the sick overkill with a grenade and a BR. I mean I still think it's a fun game, but Halo 2 and 3 to me are on their own level above every other MP game. Reach fells like a step back almost.

yeah its a little odd. takes some getting used to. i still whiff a bit, but usually im getting siedestepped or something.
i only melee when i wind up super close to someone or im in the middle of a reload and someones shields are down. better just to keep your distance and shoot i think.
dont mind the new system with it just discharging the shield. it works fine once you get used to it.

You'd think after 3 years you'd know dax, but the laser ISN'T one hit kill all the time. Hit 'em in the chest, sure that's a one hit kill. Get their arm or leg? You probably haven't even popped their shields, and they're bailing out.
Edit: Reading that again this sounds pretty rude. No meanness intended.
The laser is pretty OP, but it's not always a one-hit kill.So my daughter and I just discovered one other way the Challenges are well designed. She's got a Silver account, which is this nether region between Gold and an offline profile: her credit accumulation in custom FF, MP and Forge games are throttled to a max of 60 cR per game, and she cannot earn Commendations in them. But she also can't play online. However, she can complete Campaign Commendations and perform the offline Challenges. So ones such as today's "Light Flare: Kill 40 enemies in any game mode in Reach" are available for her.
After two weeks of nothing but 50 or 60 cR per game, she had no idea how many you could generate in a game. We just played through the first mission of Campaign on normal together, and she cleared the Light Flare Challenge and a bucket of Commendations. I ask her before the end mission screen comes up (we had scoring on) how many credits she thought she earned. "About....150," she says, three times what she's gotten before. She made about 750 cR. The way her eyes bugged out as the progress bar shot halfway across the screen was just golden.
I hadn't realized it, but every day that I can recall, there's been a daily Challenge or two available to her in the mix. Which is very, very nice. Just bagging that first one had her wanting to see what others there were, and is looking forward to seeing what they are tomorrow so we can get her another.
Snagged another one, Luke.

That could refer to a character calling Halsey Catherine instead of Halsey on legendary (apparently that happens)
People are looking for easter eggs and mysterious and stuff. So far people think it could that you have to do a vidmaster run or the game (killing all the BoBs, hitting all the switches) but no one knows yet. I have a feeling it'll belike the IWHBYD skull in Halo 3, eventually someone will look on the dvd and dig out anything odd. I mena how would have thought of jumping though the rings in that order in Halo 3?
I wish they would make a precision playlist that consisted of Swat, Snipers, and all "Pro" variants. It really gets me that Reach has all these new interesting weapons/armor abilities that can drastically effect gameplay and provide unique experiences, yet it seems like 99% of the time I play matchmaking all I'm allowed to do is use Sprint/DMR.
The SWAT only playlist is a start. I just hope once its released people in the slayer playlist will stop voting for snipers too.

How ironic considering everyone is hating on swat.
I mean, I hate it. If I wanna play swat, I'll play MW2.
I think the range of the DMR/NR kind of ruin Blood Gulch, you can practically hit people from any where on the map, and the map isn't exactly overflowing with cover. Also doesn't help that vehicles are complete crap if someone is sniping them. I sniped like 3 Warthogs in that custom game we played last week, just random hits on it anywhere...Double Kill...Double Kill...Triple Kill...:lol
Valhalla wasn't any better, whoever controlled the laser/hill won in dominating fashion 99% of the time.

Assuming you meant last, It's been said reclaimer is a rank, presumed to be after General.

It's the highest rank an enlisted man in the Navy(and Coast Guard) can earn. The Halo universe seems to pick and choose what it uses.
