Just finished my Legendary play through. (Legendary spoiler)
NO Legendary ending, wtf!? Really? Did I miss something?

All in all, loved it. Although compared to my original Heroic run, it seemed a tad easier. I'll put that down to the learning curve.

Wtf is going on today, near enough every game I've played in big team has involved most of my team quitting and the remaining 3/4 of us getting trounced. :/

Sounds like a normal BTB battle. Weekends bring out the worst players.

Finally finished the first draft. Needs some revision and a few more passes before getting a thorough edit for errors, both grammatical and factual. Hope to have it out some time next week.

There apparently is a secret ending, but nobody has figured out how to unlock it yet.

I decided to take a forklift and force myself a way through the gate prematurely. The only threat I had to deal with at the end was a Phantom hanging menacingly below the cliff face. Which is not a threat at all.

Someone from Bungie.

The assist challenge is broken. As soon as I die, I get a "challenge failed" warning and from that point on none of my assists count.

Yea, I would have finished that challenge by now too if it wasn't broke.

Edit: Seems to be working now? It says I have 2 total from the previous match
Edit2: Actually, it seems like it counts all the assists BEFORE your first death. FIX.

Also, another complaint: When spawning on defence on an assault game, it doesn't show where you have to defend, which is stupid. Usually lose the first round because of this. As long as we attack first, we know where the arming point is.

I died nearly eighty times this mission, over the course of a couple hours, and spent 45 minutes on the section of the level the Beachhead Firefight mission is set. While there I died over 30 times, 20 of which were to Wraith mortars. I have some pics and an epic rant coming on Wraith AI in the morning.

Hm. I don't remember dying that many times on Exodus on Legendary. Just checked: 34 times. Honestly, on my legendary solo play through, I didn't find any levels that exceedingly difficult. Overall, it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Halo 2 on the other hand, boy, I said "screw this" not even a third of the way through it.

Doing the Nightfall legendary challenge on co-op. Not going to bother trying to do that by myself.

Just went through Exodus on my first Matchmaking Co-op. 2 of the guys quit within 5 minutes so it ended up just being be and one other guy. Demolished that level. Lot of fun. :lol This matchmaking totally helps because I struggle playing alone on Legendary.

Also what do you guys think of Headhunter? I love that game, team and FFA, but I never get to play it. Never gets voted for when I am playing. Hope Bungie doesn't just decide to take it out.

I love Headhunter Pro, as it takes a lot more skill to get skulls. Team Headhunter is a cluster of a game.

Yep, I waited all night last night to get on with some buddies to finally have fun, with all the quitters that's really the only way to play this game.

Well you can actually try it, its a modded save file im not going to bother with it though lol

How the fuck does Bungie get a challenge so fucked up that they have already basically had like 30 times so far?

Why would you create two different challenges "A great friend" and "Pass the Rock" that are the same thing when there could be so many better challenges?

Unpolished.

Get your shit together.

I grabbed a warthog, gave the Sgt Major dude an FRG, he hopped on and then we got this badass looking soldier that was walking around without a helmet to jump on the turret and we destroyed the covenant in that area.

The final run up to the button that activates the AA guns was a bitch though since I was on foot and had to do that section a bunch of times because I kept getting oneshot killed by the FRG chieftain in the last room.

It's a shame there isn't a "social" playlist where it's just a "fun" hopper and people can join in progress or quit whenever, quitters are really ruining this game for me.

Here's hoping the next iteration of Halo, whatever we get, has better thought out multiplayer in terms of drop in drop out.

Okay. I'll not try it that way. Lets hope we'll have the chance to fly it legit sometimes.

Btw. Leviathan posted another page of his Comic "A Fistful Of Arrows". Pls 343i releases his work as a graphic novel. It looks so amazing. Much better than the Marvel comics.
Click to expand...


So, why does Kat have a robo arm already, but Emile doesn't have the etched helmet yet in these comics?

The "art" is nice, but the dialogue is cheesy imo.

Also, the misuse of the term "AWOL" bothers me, soft or some other "weak" term would have been better, since JUN or Jorge are in no way AWOL, or going AWOL. He's not using it correctly at all in that comic, not even as slang. Hell, he even could have said "going native."

I wouldn't go that far, but it really is beginning to piss me off, but mostly because of quitters and shitty maps.

Hah, in the month I've been playing Reach since it's launch I've never really had much of a problem with quitters. Maybe a few here and there but today has been something else.

I think my favorite part is getting booted from Rocketfight all the time because of all the idiots who can't grasp that you're not supposed to stand right where enemies land as they exit their dropships.

STAY BACK TARDS

I hope the betrayal system is going to be fixed in the next update.

Is the assist challenge broken for anyone else? I've played about 10 games of matchmaking and I supposedly have one assist so far.

Yeah, this is a problem — you'd think that since every fucking person always votes for Rocketfight, they'd know how to play it by now.

They ARE removing friendly fire from FF, though, so that'll take care of that problem.

Yes. Very broken. It only awards you with the assists you get before your first death :/

Edit: Actually, yet another thing that annoys me is that there's no progress indication for gametypes anymore at the bottom right. Is it up to 75 points? 100? 150? Where'd it go? :(

It's broken, as I've said twice already. As soon as you die, the challenge is considered failed and from that point on, your other assists don't count

The problem with Bungie is that they need to give people an incentive to play, not a deterrent to quit. (and they don't have jump in gametypes where people can join mid match, so that creates the problem of people leaving but not joining therefore empty space is made)

Give people a completed match bonus that actually is worth something. For every match you complete in MM you get like a 1500 cR bonus or something along that line.

MW2 was really good at dangling the carrot in front of people.

Welp... I broke the game while I was trying to speed-run Nightfall (for the Challenge) :x

-- Earlier on in the level I kind of tricked up into the cliffs and apparently avoided a loading zone. I then used the glitch to get yourself through the gate using the Forklift, the result was me unable to finish the level... Pretty cool though, since I got to explore (kinda).

This is the worst comment I've ever read, do not even compare Reach's launch state to Gears 2s, just do not. Reach is playable.

Great point Foxy. Adding a Cr bonus for winning the match and Cr for completing objectives (grabbing/scoring flag, planting bomb, etc...) would help a lot to keep people in the match and not quitting.

I also think there should be a Cr penalty of at least 1k Cr when you quit a match, on top of the matchmaking ban. In Halo 3 if you quit you lost 1 XP point, so I don't see why people shouldn't be getting dinged some credits when they quit in Reach.
