I don't think there's much to worry about.
Halo 4 will be hyped to the moon. It will be breaking records as fans anticipate the return of the Chief and the marketing muscle behind it will make small developers weep.

Got an awesome overkill in Elite team slayer :lol 
Won every game I played tonight, with the exception of my last.. arena doubles 24-25
If I have 5 render minutes left, why does a 28 second vid cost a whole minute? Kinda lame :\
Currently rendering but here is the overkill

It will be interesting to see how things shake out once the Live activity charts start coming out again.
Hey man, I got you on my Xenolock account. We definitely have to hit up that BTB sometiime. <3neoism said:Damn man...

Ugh, really disappointed the weekly challenge doesn't declare you a "winner" if you placed in the top half in FFA. Another weekly challenge not implemented well, getting sick of it.
Captain Blood said:
Why haven't they been coming out? The only reason I could think of was that Reach wasn't even beating MW2. Reach had like 85K on last night around 1 EST, that seems extremely low to me, even for a weekday.
Placing in the top half of a FFA shouldn't net you a win, placing 1st should. Why not just hand out wins to the top 7, just leave one guy out in the cold. :lol
The hiring of Juices is the only thing that could save Reach from falling further at this point.
And someone from the US who doesn't give a shit about xbl avatar stuff, preorder the map pack at a gamestop and hook me up with the flaming helmet code. I want to display that thing on Kinect Sports online while I make inappropriate gestures.

Not gonna lie, despite hating both MW and MW2, Black Ops is pure awesome and has taken me away from Halo. Well and that I hate Reach's MP with a passion as I think it sucks right now as it is. But I do still hop on every day to get some FF or campaign challenges done, that's where the fun is for me. FF and campaign are so good! MP sucks.

The challenge seems aimed at getting people to work together to win as a team for an entire week. Seems like a very well implemented challenge. So far it's my favorite.
Man this game's MP isn't aging well for me in the gameplay department.
Armor lock has completely driven me over the edge of enjoyment. It's a terrible addition, absolute trash. Sometimes I find myself clicking with the pace of the game, but most of the time I'm fighting with it. It's just so inconsistent with all the different abilities and bloom, etc.
Some days I feel like a god, others a grunt. There doesn't seem to be any identifiable pattern for me either. Vehicle combat really feels stale and is dead to me. I don't know what happened but it just totally lost it's luster in reach. I'm a growing skeptic of a game I really loved at first.

Having friends over and playing Halo is awesome.
So I try multiplayer for the first time in weeks and get lagged out of a match during an epic host migration. I'm guessing that counts as a quit for the purposes of the mega-jackpot. Yay.
Won't be back to multiplayer until Mythic hits. I haven't had a pleasant experience in it once.
On the plus side, I just did a Firefight game where everyone else lagged out, so it was me solo for the last 25 minutes. Ended up with nearly 5k cR for it, all told. I could get used to that.

The gameplay of 3 was good enough to carry it even through the abysmal playlists, I'm not sure I can say the same for this one.
Like right now there's 60K people on, I could be having a bad memory but just a few months ago Halo 3's Social Slayer usually had 50K+ on at any time.
I think the population is bugged. I mean it also had near 1.3M games within the past day.Ramirez said:
His post was more referred to the playlist updates, as least that's how I took it. The game getting updated is giving me life to play it, whereas that never happened for me in 3. And we haven't had one DLC arrival yet. Would love for some Forge World variants added in, and something made by the community and where others, like us, can take a good look at it. Cliffhanger is balls, not sure how that's in there outside simply a guy from Bungie created it (see Smashed from Halo 3). Atom seems okay in the limited experience I've been in it.
I was checking your stream during the matches at Zealot, Countdown, and that last one.Tashi0106 said:
The spawns are an absolute joke. As I said the other day, just put it in a bin with the other trash like Isolation and Epitaph, and forget it ever existed. Bring in Warlock/Wizard or the Lockout variants and replace The Cage. PLZ!

I think this and the player counts are showing a clear sign that the whole 'Father knows best' attitude when it comes to games is on the outs. IW and Treyarch put all the stuff in their game that people wanted, and we got armor lock and bloom.
Just a thought.

What stuff did Treyarch put in that people really wanted that Reach didn't do more of?LAUGHTREY said:
BLOPS sold due to being a quality but unoriginal (and well marketed) addition to the COD franchise. I see no mystically requested feature added. The theatre is neat, but beyond that?
Shooter fans are preferring the fragile quick shooter right now. It's a part of why Sprint was so requested and became part of Reach.
In terms of what the majority of fans were calling for, Reach gave... almost too much, to the point where quality slipped.
Which I think may be Reach's core issue.

Whether you choose to acknowledge it or not people in general do not like Armor lock, and for every 1 person bitching about it on forums there are 10 people that played Reach for a few days and put it away because they didn't like the AAs because they're not Halo, and the bloom because honestly it's really stupid and pointless.Sir Fragula said:
The killstreak fixes, the quick scoping, stuff like that. I don't really know exactly everything that was changed between MW2 and black ops but it's obviously the right amount to keep people on the game.Zeouterlimits said:
I hope this is a wake-up call. Make a game that a lot of people want to play and don't change core shit like armor abilities and bloom on your fourth game in the series.
Blastin' and Relaxin' - 1000cR
Kill 90 enemies in any game mode in Reach.
Gunslinger - 1000cR

i'm sticking with reach, but I see why numbers are low... multi is very weak compared to H2 and 3, more specifically the maps are.
also, it takes me aaaages to get matched up in multi team (that's pretty much all I play), my screensaver is on as I speak and i'm still not matched up, so often it'll find 10 other players (1 short) and reset... my limited gaming time is being wasted.
Is anyone else a bit over the loadouts now?
Really cool at first, and they needed to try something to keep the game fresh, but it's been a couple of months now and I think pick ups work much better.
that's my whinge... I still love Halo

Even though I still dislike the bloom, I still love Reach - even more after playing Black Ops, because there's no hoping that you don't run into a laggy match there, let alone hoping that all of your 8 friends make it into a match together without retrying 10 times.
Mostly the lag though, damn that makes want to smash something badly, especially when it took so long to get into that match in the first place.

So very small changes.LAUGHTREY said:
What I mean is the BLOPS crowd were just looking for more of the same. I don't mean that in a critiquing way, it's fine to want that.
Bungie obviously chose to take a step change with AA. The merits of that are debatable, but I think it's unfair to claim that what Treyarch changed with BLOPS is what got them greater success.
12 hour lan session yesterday. 4 TVs, 4 360s, 4 good friends, 1 epic Legendary co-op run and about 6 hours of customs/matchmaking... I'm beat. I might post a few pics of our set up later, maybe even a short video.
Lots of fun was had and this morning I had a "You know you've played too much halo when..." your alarm goes off and you think your shields have been popped. Dear god.
Damn... if only this was up yesterday. Not planning on going back into campaign for at least a week!

Nice! Would love to do that, preferable to the bigger lans that Hydranockz and I have attended/been involved with before.Falt said:
To be fair, Bungie did a lot of things we wanted but it was all small-scale stuff in the grand scheme of things. Of course, no number in the game's title, a different take on Halo gameplay and their worse and smallest batch of launch maps ever have not helped at all.LAUGHTREY said:
