I was planning on submitting a run using that Falcon glitch as soon as HSH was taking submissions since right at the beginning is my only chance to get on the site lol. I was crushed when I saw that on HBO lol

Fantastic. The actual guide part is extremely exhaustive. It covers EVERYTHING. The concept art is gorgeous and it is excellently constructed. The visor for whichever Spartan you get on the cover is even made of reflective foil.

I did it for 3 and ODST even though there are no achievements for soloing those. Reach was definitely more difficult than either of those (ODST is a cakewalk) but they were all pretty fun.
Okay, nevermind. It was on 480p. What probably happened was that at one point I took my xbox to the other TV in the house, one that I can't typically use, and that one did have an HDMI cable. When I switched it back to the one I usually use, it must have automatically went to 480p. I have been playing SD all this time. :lolCrunched said:
Thanks for the help, maybe this problem will go away now.

I got 1490 or something in 1 Gruntpocalypse match I'm fairly certain it's glitched and carries over some Campaign cRs or something. Because I'd get +1 in Campaign when I swore I should've gotten more.
It's weird.
Regardless I'm halfway between Warrant Officer Gd. 3 and Captain. Whoopeee!

Thanks all for the tips on Pillar of Autumn.
I'll be honest, if there wasn't an achievement I wouldn't have bothered with it. I normally skip the "macho man" difficulty in games, even when there's achievements (I never do Veteran in CoD games for example). But Legendary solo difficulty in Reach is really not that bad honestly. The checkpoints are very lenient, I was even getting some mid-battle (like eight elites or so and after taking out two or three you get a checkpoint). Just have to make sure to stay behind cover and aim for headshots.
Heroic is definitely the sweet spot though IMO. It's challenging yet not too hardcore, you definitely feel like you have a lot more freedom on that difficulty.

Eh, compared to some CoD games where if you move an inch you get shot in the head, it wasn't bad at all. I never really got stuck on parts long enough I wanted to smash a controller and usually if I just slowed down and took everything in stride I got through no prob.
PsychoRaven said:
Oh, no. I'm grinding to Captain. Regular matchmaking games only seem to make the bar move like a centimeter.
Just finished the challenge with a triple kill then a double kill. :lol Probably will stick around to get the 10 games (4/10 now) one done. Wonder if we'll ever get a Infection playlist like we are SWAT and probably in the future, Snipers. Going to get hated on for saying this, but dicking around with Infection is pretty fun. Nice to play after a few days of games I haven't enjoyed.

You got off easy friend. I got my entire save wiped. I lost all of my campaign progress (completion of Lengendary solo and coop). Even now I don't have it all earned back.WaltJay said:Thanks to everyone for the advice posted for the Pillar of Autumn level.
Quick aside: My save file magically disappeared, so I couldn't resume my game, so I had to start from Rally Point Bravo (more on that later).
A quick search on Bungie.net let me know I'm SOL. Since I couldn't resume my game save for whatever reason and started from a checkpoint, it didn't count. WHAT-THE-FUCK! I need to start the PoA mission all over again, from the very beginning in order to get credit. Thanks Bungie for fucking up whatever enjoyment I had left from the single player campaign. This shit is turning into a job!
But thanks to everyone for the advice; worked perfectly.

Of all maps to remake, why did they remake Ascension? In my opinion, it's the worst map from Halo 2.
Anyway, I got ranked. 1023. Could have been better if I didn't play on Pinnacle. Oh well. :\/

Ascension was awesome in Halo 2, but in Reach the spawns seem off

You can edit the co-ordinates of an object if you want an easier way to align objects.
Going through tip of the spear(I think that's what it's called, AA gun level) on legendary was so excellent. The rocket warthog and the jet pack later open things up so much. Lot's of different strategies and routes to take. I ended up stealing a Banshee and playing around with the sword carrying elite at the top of the spire with my jet pack. Got him out on the balcony and just floated above him. Having the huge spire there was a scarab like moment, so many options and "holly shit" moments.

OK so after bitching about Legendary Solo somehow I find myself playing The Package level on Legendary by accident.
I'm stuck at the bit where
I'm stuck at the bit where
I'm waiting for Dr. Halsey to open the goddamn doors and its taking forever. Do I HAVE to go around setting up turrets in order to progress, or are those optional? I keep seeing checkpoint after checkpoint and I'm getting about 15 FPS as the world explodes around me and she still won't let me in. Is this normal?

I remember just setting them up the first time, then letting them die. I think I made B go up one more time, but I dunno. :/

Not necessary, just camp by the doors with the rest of noble team. Use the ammo rack things as cover, most enemies get distracted by your AI teammates and you can pop em with headshots on the DMR (crouch for better aim). There's plenty of health and ammo there.
It just takes a very long time for the doors to open, seemed like 20 minutes.

ATTENTION HALO GAF:
Please go to the OT and read the "anime pillows" thread. Right now. Unless you have small children in the room.

On-topic, you don't have to use the turrets. In fact, what I did was take a Ghost, shimmied over to the Wraith shelling you from the back, and used it to own Covenant face.

I just played a game of Infection where I was the zombie every single time.
It wouldn't be so bad if THE PEOPLE DIDN'T CAMP THE STUPID FUCKING BUILDING ON ASCENSION. jsafl;kbmdf;lkgnml;

When holding an object press B and you'll get a menu that allows you to edit them and also align objects to set rotations - which will also help. For example, say you wanted to build a large floor, you spawn a piece, set the rotation to 90 degrees and flip it horizontally and repeat it with other pieces and then edit the coordinates to align them together.

Anyway thanks guys, finally got through. So tell me, that mission, how much harder is the last mission than the 2nd to last one? All things considered I didn't think the Package was too bad except at the end. In fact I thought I was playing Heroic until the tank achievement popped up.

Yeah it's weird how uneven the rankups are. I'm just about to WOG3 myself, can't wait for the long, slow grind up to Captain.ZayneH said:

Bring me more daily challenges for I have conquered them all! BWAHAHAA
I don't die and use the BR exclusively getting tons of headshots.
Don't go get health or ammo until they call in reinforcements.

Hey guys, I am considering a Kindle before the new series of Halo books launches. Are the books available on digital form on launch date?
