There was nothing wrong with legends, story wise. While some (myself included) didn't like the dragonball crap, or some of the other "silly" crap, nothing really got violated. Halo has always had a "silly" side.
Well, okay. If you want to talk about content, I'm with you. There was not really anything too egregious in there (although we can argue about Elite samurai for hours). However, almost every single story was told exceptionally badly, and I'm amazed that they were allowed to be.Alienshogun said:

Odd, because in the legendary commentary they allude to the fact he is alive.
Perhaps what you read was AI/ONI propaganda.

Good for you, someone get this man a cookie.
Willeth said:
Yeah, that's going to happen through "animeification."
At least a couple were worth a watch though.
I haven't heard the commentary, but now I'm questioning what I've been told (not having read the book myself).Alienshogun said:
Hrm.
EDIT: I did dig up this bnet post, which was promptly censored presumably for spoilers. It's quoted further down, though. http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=50562557&postRepeater1-p=1#50562621
E2: Looking at that commentary clip, it seems like they're saying 'Jun doesn't die [in the game]'. It's not as solid as I thought it might be, but maybe I'm looking for a loophole.
E3: More things!
Some guy in that same thread talks about it being Thel Lodamee killing Sheila, though, because Resplendent Fervour was nowhere near Reach, only Particular Justice. So I guess welp
E4: Hang on, this only appears in the reprint. I can't see why it would unless it pertained directly to Reach.
Fake E5: I'm spending way too much time on this.

Best Halo glitch ever. Of all time. The best part was falling down and not receiving any fall damage. There's a easter egg that lets you fly really high up, but you still have fall damage and a timed death (if you fall for a certain period of time, you automatically die).Foxy Fox 39 said:Anyone remember the Halo 3 beta where you could use the banshee on Valhalla to glitch and fly into space? How awesome would that be to do in forge world? You could literally make Cloud City from Star Wars with everyone in jet-packs. People could fall all the way to the ground shooting at each other or jet-packing. Think about it.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to glitch out of forge world and into space.
Edit: And I agree with Willeth. Jun's dead, and a very nice way to tie his death in with existing canon.

Could also be explained later as another spartan or even Noble 6. There were more spartans on Reach.
Lets be honest with ourselves, if they want Jun back, you know damn well he will be back. After all, like I said, you could just be reading AI/Oni propaganda.
Well, the thing about the Spartan protecting who I think we can safely assume is Halsey negates quite a few options, but yeah, I'm sure it's left uncertain for a reason. It's just too poetic to have Jun die for it not to be the case, though.Alienshogun said:Could also be explained later as another spartan or even Noble 6. There were more spartans on Reach.

But yeah, it's a couple of steps removed from certainty.
No wonder hardly anybody plays in the objective playlist, you can never finish a game without someone quitting.
I've just had two matches and in the first it ended up 3v1 (started as 3v3), and in the 2nd, one by one 5 of the other 7 people in the game quit in the first round of CTF :|
I like objective modes but i can't be bothered wasting my time if this is all i am going to get
Edit: Jesus christ, the very next game in the arena, the whole of the other team quit within 2 minutes, am i cursed or something? :lol

Walked around a bit on Atom, can't wait to play it in matchmaking and hopefully it plays as good as I think it will. I hope Bungie removes subpar maps like the Cage and Ascension once more decent community maps start making it into matchmaking.
Just did it with a friend, we both plugged in a 2nd controller, and played the level with the guests leaving our mains behind. Easy cR.Spike6663 said:

I've gotten a bit tired of the quitting in Halo.
It seems people either quit out, or I'm alone Vs a team of friends. Halo is one of those games where if you aren't with friends against people playing together you will get donged on and repeatedly, that isn't much fun.
I think I'll just play when others want to play from now on.

Finally hit MAX rank with the ONI challenge completed. Everyone do as many challenges as you can so I can keep filling bars up.
Got my first "killtacular" medal! Kinda lame with the tank, but ah well!

And to think in Halo 3 i never even gotten an overkill medal.

I would think if Bungie is saying "ok time for handholding is over" then it's ok for it to end here too.
Easily the worst day of Arena ever, ever for me.
Played Pinnacle about 8 times over the course of my 12 games. I shit you not.
2 on reflection, 1 on cage, 1 on sword base. It was like being fisted by a bum with a hand covered in razorblades dipped in aids.
I hate Zealot, Cage, and Pinnacle in that order of strongest hate. The rest of the maps I can handle and make due with till the map pack, but Jesus these 3 need to gtfo rotation so often. I want more Powerhouse, Swordbase, and maybe countdown.
To top off the crap maps I had an infinite supply of turd spawns where the other team is literally 10 feet behind me ready to pounce. Could it get worse? Of course! 2 games I had people shooting magnum bullets and punching me to weaken my shields to steal power weapons...mind you these were "team mates" doing this shit. Starting to happen WAY too often. I had a game on reflection where I spawned as Blue start of game and went to run for the sword only to be riddled with bullets by a team mate because of it. Luckily I was able to boot his ass for killing me all the way, but god damn.
There has to be something Bungie can do to stop this team mate punching me on purpose shit. It's happen too damn often. :/

They can do objective rankings in Arena
Formula would be:
Winning Team +1 point
Losing Team No points
Winning would be the only thing that matters (This would be like Halo 3)
Well that would work but umm it wouldn't be like Slayer Arena formula at all...which is a pretty stupid system anyways rewards whoever can get kills quickest not k/d or support (at least properly)

My impressions of campaign matchmaking - people are dicks.
Played about 5 games today, finished 2. I've run into betrayers, people sat there with a second controller doing nothing, screaming children, quitters and someone who thought it would be a good idea to shoot a rocket at my wraith... it's just a clusterfuck of idiocy and it's a real shame. The two games I did play were really fun. Lag doesn't seem too bad and the tactics you can pull off with a big team are really satisfying to someone like me who never gets to play co-op. The playerbase almost ruins it for me though, and having 'not dying' challenges just makes it all the harder.

Oh wow customs tonight! Perfect I think I'll actually be able to play in them tonight.LAUGHTREY said:
I am am down for MLG Customs or anything even, right now. Is anyone else on?
Do Elites show up in any of the solo score attack modes? I've only tried Gruntpocalypse so far. Going for 50 kills with three other people doing the same sounds too annoying to be worth the credits.
The problem with campaign challenges that don't revolve around killing a certain type of enemy is that you'll always get more credits by spending the same amount of time in multiplayer or firefight. I don't do the ones that involve entire level play throughs either.
