Playlist changes generally look pretty awesome, though a bit disappointed by the removal of Crash Site.

It would be nice to have some Classic Firefight gametypes thrown in there too where lives are the limiting factor instead of time. Quick games are a great feature, but the option to go much longer would be welcome. Extending the games to a set in 4 player Firefight helps, but doesn't do much for Score Attack.

Maybe longer games would need it's own dedicated playlist, so players who want quick games won't get stuck in a long game and be forced to quit. Obviously not an issue in Score Attack since the player can select whatever.

Office of Not Dying

Complete ONI on Legendary without dying.


Any tips for this?

Not even bothering with that one.

Why not? Just use a second controller with a guest signed in. Easy money.

I died doing that. Holy shit I'm a noob.

That or as someone mentioned earlier, play normally (i.e. die a lot :lol), save and quit at the last checkpoint, resume your game and don't die between that checkpoint and the end of the level.

As for FF assists, using a grenade launcher in regular FF should work well enough. Killing 50 Elites is gonna be way more time consuming.

 

[Cuban Legend]

So one time, in Sniperfight...

So yeah, thanks to whoever kindly rendered this! Glad it at least made one of you laugh. :lol

 

[Trasher]

:lol

 

[Cuban Legend]

How the hell am I going to kill 50 elites?

And more assist challenges? Goddamn Bungle!

Edit: Do you guys want to party up and get th FF assists? I'm saving a spot for Cuban, so if there are 2 people interested in joining, let me know. We'll get those assists in 3 or 4 games.

I wont be on until after Noon EST. Then I have 2 hours between then and 2:00PM EST before I go to work. So if you can be on at those times then that's cool, if not then pick 3 gaffers and go in without me, I'll be home from work @ 7:30PM EST.

 

[The Librarian]

After finally killing the Elites with the concussion rifles at the AA gun, and after having died by them several times previously, not to mention all the times I've died while getting to the AA gun, I get run over by an AI marine driving my warthog that I got out of to kill them with my DMR.

...

I give up.

Edit: going to do this the cheap way in co-op later.

Just msg when you're on. If I'm not on at that momeny, I'll read the message and join you.

1000/1000 get.

Wonder what the achievements with the DLC will be.. Hopefully not as silly as the Halo 3 DLC ones.

I got a feeling they will be.

Well, that was a productive game of Rocketfight.

Yeah I dont expect them to be reasonable in any way, shape or form.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

created two teleporters and had a friend falling between them till he reached terminal velocity, then I switched another receiver to shoot him through the invisible wall. He still died from the softkill barrier but he shot very far, and once he passed the invisible wall you could venture wherever you wanted in theater mode.

That sounds so amazing the way it is worded. :lol

Ah, if only we could fly to space like the Valhalla glitch in the beta. That was a really cool feature.. Would make great for a forgeworld 2.0.

 

[Amory]

God damn, there's a part in the campaign where you're asked to take out an anti-aircraft gun during level 5...I was under the impression you had to storm the gun and shoot the core, the way I did with the first one I took out, and it seemed impossible with the number of guys, a tank, and 2 hunters firing at me.

Then I realized if I just

Spoiler

shot the thing with the warthog gun it'd just blow up eventually

and I felt like an idiot.

 

[Magni]

Yeah that's true I guess. Still don't know if it's worth the time/effort though.

 

[Kentpaul]

the new map pack will just split the user base, and with black ops round the corner its a bad thing way to go bungie :lol

 

[jizzlobber]

map packs worked for Halo 3

 

[Kentpaul]

map packs worked for Halo 3

not when i had to fork out 10 quid just to join different types of playlists

 

[jizzlobber]

I mean it didn't kill the game.
open your wallet

would be worse if Bungie DIDN'T sell us more maps given the shithouse selection on the disc

 

[Magni]

That was Halo 3. This is Halo: Reach.

Spoiler

read the update ;-)

 

[Shake Appeal]

I see Kentpaul is back to trolling the Halo threads. :lol

 

[Kentpaul]

I don't see the need for new maps when bungie would just make awsome forge maps.

of course il buy them but it will be epic fail

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

No, it won't. Read the BWU. Everyone will still have access to the same matchmaking playlists and will not be locked out for not having the DLC. Bungie sounds to have greatly improved how they integrate DLC into matchmaking.

Also, 2 Forged maps are on the way, with more coming via Forgetacular contest. Patience.

 

[MrBig]

They aren't splitting the playlists this time, they learned from their mistakes.
People with the pack will automatically be matched together, along with a seperate playlists dedicated to only the new maps.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Guys, you don't need to respond to Kentpaul.

Still splitting the userbase what ever way you look at it

waste of 10 quid.

 

[Kentpaul]

Guys, you don't need to respond to Kentpaul.

your the guy with the big ass list of complaints :lol

 

[MrBig]

Started work on a semi-symmetrical ctf map on the back part of the island today

If I can I would like to put down some temporary spawns and do the red base for a quick playtest in customs tonight

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Just had my first and maybe last game of Campaign matchmaking. Playing ONI site (obviously), and all three of my team will not move when the game starts. as time goes on they all start to die but until only one person is left that hasn't died (and so can therefore get the challenge). What do they do? Camp at the start of the level, meaning every time I die I get spawned back with them. Seriously, I should have expected this but the level of sheer idiocy of people playing just makes me want to scream. ARGH!!!

 

[xxjuicesxx]

People still complain about paying for DLC?

:lol

WTF go get a better job if you have to complain about 10 quid. You'll be playing these maps for hours and hours its well worth it.

Had a similar experience when I played yesterday, only my team were so upset when they died that they all betrayed me. The Halo community can be, uh, somewhat questionable at times.

I don't have a job and that 10 quid could have went towards weed, but il just need to fork out now:lol

i just dont see the point in having to pay for maps when they have the forge map system in the game.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

OMG Instinct just destroyed Category 5 in Onslaught Flag...spawn killed them the entire game and got 5 flag caps in 2 minutes. Category 5 got 3 kills combined.

On that note: Hi HaloGAF!

Love the planned playlist changes. Wish we had VS. Firefight in there though.

Junior Speculation: What are the odds that they have some kind of ODST-esque campaign expansion in the works for next year and THAT is when we'll see new FF maps?

Welcome.

Hrmm...I think Reach is pretty self contained, story wise. I think they might just be making more MP maps and adding Forge maps as the good stuff appears.

ODST came about because the team that was to help out for the Halo movie had some free time. The whole studio is probably on the next ip now.

But what happen to Jun? I WANT TO KNOW THAT! Maybe 343i is working on something that has to do with Reach...

 

[Bregmann Roche]

ODST was loosely based on The Inferno. Why couldn't they do a Jun/Halsey adventure loosely based on Harold and Maude? The seeds have already been planted! The seeds!

Because frankly, Forge is fucking ugly and terrible compared to the work people at Bungie could do.

Also :lol @ bolded

He went on holiday.

Forgers need to use the Special Effects stuff more. :lol We can make some brown, brown, brown maps and green, green, green if you like!

The "Color" option is such a tease. I hope Tempest allows us to switch colors, for real this time.
