I actually rarely play Demo in TF2, but the grenade launcher in Reach just makes me sad when the grenade bounces off someone...

It looks a tad wrinkled... and I'm assuming the roll mark will go away when you frame it... hopefully.

Getting it into the roll was a bit of a trying ordeal... heh

It's actually not wrinkled, I guess the lighting makes it look that way. There is slight damage on one of the edges, but it's definitely not too noticeable until you look closely. It'll be covered up with the frame anyway, so no biggie. :D

Ended up with two repeat signatures, but you can't blame them, they were running with quite a few drinks in their systems haha

Probably my worst night of Halo Reach since it came out, tonight. I think I only won once.

But even with all of the quitters, the AFKers (do you guys just leave your system running and leave? really? for entire matches?), the betray-you-because-you-got-the-shotgunners...

... still nothing annoys me as much as broken goddamn armor lock.

The community wants to see the best from this game because it is the last game you Bungie that is going to make that is connected with Halo so it has to be better than all the other Halo's and so far its not. I suggest you add those 3 new maps for FREE and not for 10$ because thats not a good deal. atleas put 5 or more maps for 10$.Plus the gametypes are very boring especially Arena. The gametype i have the most fun in is Rumble Pit because of infection and juggernaut but sometimes there a ffa game and i hate playing slayer games when i wanna play infection or juggernaut.

It's not broken. Learn how to fight against it.

If you say so. I think it's broken. I've never been so annoyed by anything in a Halo game before.

"Learn how to fight against it." Okay. *eyeroll*

No other armor ability allows you to damage opponents simply by using it. When you run into entire teams of people using it it goes from being simply annoying to infuriating.

I find rejecting a rocket as cool as the next guy. Hell, I don't even get mad at people doing that against me. Here's what's annoying:

- Somebody pulsing armor lock, up to four times, rejecting grenade after grenade
- Somebody pulsing armor lock when you use something like the sword on them, and then being stuck against them due to the lunge, and then being melee'd to death since they can now bring your shields down instantly.
- The instantaneous nature of it, and the invincibility frames just after coming out of it
- The ability to turn around instantly after use, coupled with:
- The ability to perform an action instantly after use
- The sheer length of time of an armor lock, which allows recently killed players the time to spawn and then save their friend

When it comes to a team of Armor Lockers (which is EVERY game of Elite Slayer), what do you suggest? When the only really usable solution is to also use Armor Lock, it's broken.

Armor Lock as it currently stands only brings out the worst of Halo. It both encourages grenade spam and it slows down the game enormously.

I'm not asking for everything about it to be changed. But there are simple tweaks that would make using it strategic and not a huge noob-spam ability. My friend played doesn't even own a 360 himself, and played Halo 3 only when he was at our house. In his first night over I told him to use Armor Lock. After a few matches learning to use it, he was hardly ever with a negative K/D spread. He would just laugh about how fucked up it was that he was still alive all the time, and saying how inevitable a nerf of some sort to it was.

Small changes that would have a huge impact (pick one or two):

- Lower the length of time that Armor Lock lasts for by a quarter
- Reduce the number of times it can be pulsed before being used up completely. 2 at the maximum.
- Remove the ability to turn yourself around instantly coming out of armor lock
- Remove the invincibility frames just after using armor lock
- Remove the ability to perform an action instantly coming out of armor lock (like throwing grenades)

Really, any one or two of those changes would even things out a lot.

The Pro Pipe is definitely the most fun gun in Multi player by far. Everytime I pick one up is a joy.

Agree.

It's been nerfed from the beta, but it's still fun to use. When you hit an opposing player just right with a grenade from the pro pipe...feels good man.

Missed out on the Streaky Shooter challenge, managed 8/10 last night but at 2am and a couple of games past my "last game" call, I called it a night. Now stuck in work watching the time tick away on bungie.net, agonising!

I love it how everyone gets pissed at me for using it because I actually bounce it off walls to hit them, I always get 3 kills every time with it :D

Team SWAT get.

My plan will be 2x Gruntpocalypse games and 2x SWAT games for daily challenges. If I'm lucky maybe the Weekly challenge too, but I'm betting on Multi-team for that. Did they ditch SWAT from the Multi-team playlist yet?

I keep getting a weird problem with Matchmaking. It seems like it keeps disconnecting me from live or something. I play a round or two, then it keeps resting search while in matchmaking. Then I back out and go back in, it keeps saying retrieving info from live. And now my connection to live is fubar for a bit. Nothing is wrong with my internet, nat is open, and test prior work great. My internet is still working fine during too.

Anyways, 4 Stages done on Legendary, 5 to go. I've believe I have pasted the hardest stage yet.... Having a Warthog with AI =[

I would say make sure you are going in as a party with your team and reviewing your wins and losses discussing what you as a team are doing right and wrong...but I just remembered in Reach there's no party view feature...

Either way take the losses as a learning point and don't give up. You have to lose before you can win. I hate seeing teams start and after losing one or two quitting or replacing players.

Alrighty. I like today's challenges. A few rounds of Firefight MM and few rounds of multi-team.

Congrats. I've stopped buying stuff and now I'm saving for the confetti effect. Only about 35k to go. There's no way I could save up for anything more.

Check the alt link next to it, which links to HBO's listing of the Challenges. I stopped updating each day when I noticed they had an automated alternate hosting. Can you see that okay?
Click to expand...
If you don't want to load the whole forum (which is probably just as bad as loading the B.net challenge page, on a slow connection), there are a pair of RSS feeds (one with just text, very small, the other with a couple of pictures to liven it up):

http://halo.bungie.org/rss/globalchallenges.xml
http://halo.bungie.org/rss/globalchallenges2.xml

Those might be more useful as 'alt links'. :D

Just noticed Squall's comment that HBO is blocked; not sure if it's blocked by IP or name, but if it's name, try these links instead:
