Well it was a double question, I really didn't know why everyone was so pissed. I know people that actually get upset if they can't get all of the achievements in something, so that's not that far of a stretch.



Why would you plan on dying to get it? Just let it happen naturally, it'll happen one day, I'm pretty sure I've gotten tons of them.

I enjoy going for achievements. The whole concept of that achievement is dumb. Any achievement that is situational is a bad one. (IMO) If I set out to get an achievement, if I am skilled enough I should be able to get it. With this one I need at least two enemies practically next to each other, I need an explosive weapon, and I need to die before those two other people are killed by my hand. (We all know how kill from the grave works, you have to be dead .5 seconds before it will even register as KFTG)

It's just a dumb no skill achievement. You can argue that 'it will come naturally' but that doesn't make it an achievement.

I plan on dying to get it because I literally have to die on purpose to get it.

Works if one of your team members is being lunged at while you kill the guy with the sword. But it's still hilarious that you get the medal :lol

:lol @ all the bitching about the new achievements, you guys have no idea what a "bad" achievement is :p They're actually pretty awesome and will be easy to get over a long period of time.

Just started playing this morning. Great game and I definitely like it more than 3.
The one thing that drives me nuts about Halo - the assult rifle is a complete piece of crap. This gun hasn't changed AT ALL since Halo 1 and its terrible. Not loud, doesn't feel powerful, and is very inaccurate. I want to feel like Hudson in Aliens "I AM THE ULTIMATE BAD ASS!" There are countless battles where there are dozens of enemies around - I want a gun that is exploding with power as I mow the covenant down. This shit feels like an airsoft gun.

Out of the 20 something weapons you can choose from you're using an AR?

IMO Bungie achievements suck because I never feel like I accomplished anything.

Who cares if they change the way people play? Sometimes you guys act five. :lol

Ok I've got an odd issue, I play on a 52" T.V. and when I splitscreen with my friend My aim is awesome but when I play by myself my aim gets considerably worse. My sensitivity is at 3 so maybe adjusting it when when I play alone to a higher level would help. Any suggestions?

I used it a lot on my aborted Exodus no-death run, and found it to be pretty potent against Grunts and Brutes, even at mid range. Short controlled bursts cut them down pretty fast, I was surprised.

Go watch the films of yourself and see if you are underaiming or overaiming, adjust sensitivity accordingly.

Also, the think is DEADLY against Elites on Heroic. They're so easy to take down with the AR.

I'm trying to beat the last level on Lengendary solo
I'm at the part right before you man that huge cannon, and you have to take out those elite zealots. It's soooo difficult, has anybody beat it and can offer some tips?
Soooo close!

Actually I'd say the only time The Cage even works is with either Snipers or Swat and that's only because of the whole you can die at any moment thing. Even then the spawns on that map are terrible.

That was one of Dan Miller's missions, which is said to have the most Easter eggs in the game. It was an easy call. I was hoping for a community hunt for the egg, not some jerk sifting through code. But as I said before, this was how I was expecting it to be found.

Speaking of BTB maps! As was requested (by Dani I think?), I've made a BTB map for HaloGAF customs!

You can download it here: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=8234825&player=BEARCANO

And a couple shots:

Or you can read more about it in the ForgeGAF thread (link to post): http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=24119655&postcount=1293

Oh gosh. Why have I read this? Otherwise I would never find out on my own. But this is like cheating. I really want to know if bungie planned a campaign level with the pelican. Too many things I want to see in this game. A Singleplayer-DLC must come. If not I'll be a sad panda :/

We're really not being told any more than what Urk told us besides a broad time frame.
One of the replies in there summed it up nicely: Theres going to eventually be one person that finds this egg and we're all going to follow his exact instructions. Kornman has just given us an outline that is slightly less vague than what we got from bungie. If Urk never said anything about, no one would even think to look for this egg, let alone dig for it in the scripts.

This kind of reminds me of the HiBen egg from Halo 2.

If you remember that, then props to you.

Anyone else getting annoyed with the collision detection between team mates? It's like if you run by the side of a team mate you're pushed off several feet.

Well, he didn't exactly tell us where the switch was. Still requires a little digging.

By the way, I picked up the reissue of The Flood. New content was interesting. I guess I'll re-read through some of the book later tonight.

Its true - the AR really is shit. I almost never use it.

Favorite weapons? DMR and the sniper rifle by a wide margin.

Shotgun? Shit as well.

So I finally started Reach since I was waiting for my brother to get a copy so we could go through co-op.

Were only about 2 hours in and I know this is a little early but this is what I have been waiting for. The visuals look excellent and the cutscenes are easily the best directed by Bungie. I love all the characters and the chatter between everyone. Also as if there couldn't be a more epic soundtrack the music is another level up for Bungie. The gameplay feels more fluid than ever...I am just in love with the whole thing.

So my script caught Bungie updating the thermometer then update it again with another image with less of a change. I don't know why but seems odd.

Nice to see someone find something like this. This comment on HBO speaks for my opinion of this easter egg situation:

Also, someone locating, extracting, decompiling, and interpreting the level's script file from within the game data to find some clues on the nature of the easter egg impresses me a heck of lot more than some guy who finds a clue or two by sheer luck after flying around New Alexandria for 100 hours. Especially given that Bungie has already ruined the secret by telling everyone about existence of the egg. Fantastic job, Korn.
