So am I jerk/ass/loser for using and generally enjoying AL? I don't think it's overpowered, but maybe that's because I'm not great at it. :lol Seems like to me, it really enforces team play. If I go in alone, ALing doesn't change anything. I might get a slight bump if I use AL to block a grenade in a hallway or a melee, but AL doesn't really shine until you're running with your team. You go in, mess up the place, weaken shields, AL and let your buddy mop up the rest.
I get all kinds of trashtalk from people post-game and now Bungie's last video ends with "Yeah, Armor Lock's for douches."

I more of trying to figure what is missing. Halo used to consume my daily thoughts and couldn't wait for the kids to get to sleep at night so I could play for hours and hours. Usually 12-2am even while still getting up for work at 6am. No burn out, I've had many breaks. It just seems a few month into Halo 3 that internal Halo flame died. Trying to figure it out. I was excited for Reach to bring it back and it's gone. Just trying to figure out what is missing. I'm wondering if it wasn't ever the game at all. Maybe it was just the social interactions of CE LAN parties and tons of people online only playing halo 2 back in the day. Maybe gaming is too mainstream now. The social side has died in my circle of friends. Maybe I'm just and old fart. lol
chess said:obviously you play a game to have fun. So tell me what about playing Reach is fun to you.
Personally I think it's only fun socially playing with friends. Not really the game. If I play solo, the game itself, isn't very fun. That's sad.
(it's easy for me to throw out player investment because that gimmick does nothing for me)
Is it really necessary for me to say what it is that I like about the game? Chances are most will just refute my response as noob bullshit and tell me how bad bloom, AA, challenges, credits, etc are as if I haven't heard those sentiments a thousand times already.
I'll just reiterate that I'm playing the game because it's fun for me. If you're not enjoying it, why keep playing? I haven't been playing much lately, but I blame that on ACB.

It only belongs in BTB games with vehicles IMO, although using it to negate power weapons is awesome, it really only belongs in BTB.
You should spend time trying to figure out why you insist on continuing to post in this thread about how much you dislike Reach and how long ago you stopped playing it rather than trying to figure out what's missing from the game.
You're not a jerk for using it. Bungie are the jerks for allowing it in competitive multiplayer.

Not all discussion around here have to be about having their nose up Bungie's rear region you know.
While that's true, your original and follow up posts read as troll posts.
You come off as wanting to know how people can enjoy Halo in a dismissive manner, not like you are looking for conversation.

Quick question, does the grenade launcher count as a heavy weapon?
Invasion may be the way to go for that challenge.

So what all counts as Ordnance Weapons?
-Rocket Launcher
-Grenade Launcher
-Plasma Rifle
-Focus Rifle
-Fuel Rod Cannon
-Sniper Rifle
-Concussion Rifle
Is this right?
Edit: I cannot spawn with the weapon, say Grenade Launcher in the last round of Invasion? I have to pick up the weapon on the map?

no ones playing it because the system sucks.Tashi0106 said:
I don't know why they got rid of the ranking system from Halo 3. It had issues but it's a x100 better than arena. People want to see how they stack up against other people immediately the don't want to wait 10 days and then have to do it all over again in a month . At best you see your division 2/3 of the time you're playing it. For me it would maybe be like 1/3 (if I actually played) and I don't want to spend all that time getting placed only to have it reset in a couple of days.

This game needs a title update and soon. I'm tired of all the host reconnection shenanigans going on. I just played a game of One Flag on Hemorrhage. It's our turn to attack, the screen goes black, then my team has only ten seconds on the clock left. Basically, we didn't get our turn.

Paradiso: Multi-Flag.
~15 seconds in we get black screened. Once we get back the blue team gets a cap. WTF? We thought that maybe they didn't get black screened. Nope. Both flags ended up switching places in the map. One blue dude, who was fairly bad, just happened to spot that and once he picked it up, it capped (as it was on the return zone). By the time any of us realised what was going on, their flag returned and we lost the game 1-0.

Its the fact that no one plays arena which is a big disappointment since that's what bungie replaced competitive playlists with...Tashi0106 said:

WOW I went back to this game after playing BLOPS for a while and ... just ugh. It's been such a disappointing experience.
First of all, Armor Lock ruins games. I can't believe it's allowed in FFA. It's so unfair.
Secondly, matchmaking doesn't work. I'm a Captain (playing splitscreen with my brother) and I'm playing Colonels and Brigadiers with another splitscreen pair on my team. How the fuck is this matchmaking? This happened for like 5 games in a row. In my 8000+ games of Halo 3, I don't remember the matchmaking being this terrible.
And then I try out Big Team. We play for about a minute. I die. Two people on the other team quit. It goes to black screen and causes my Xbox to lock up. This Xbox has never locked up before.
Great fucking job making a quality game, Bungie. Fuck, I'm so frustrated.
Back to BLOPS I go.

That kid keeps popping up every once in a while, with an even crazier rank than the last. Last time someone brought him (or at least, I think it was him) up, he was a Field Marshall.Plywood said:
*sniff* They grow up so fast.
Your rank and your Trueskill rank are seperate. Your rank in Halo: Reach is determined by how many credits you have, i.e. by how many games you've played and how many challenges you've completed. Behind the scenes, however, the game keeps track of your TrueSkill rank (basically your wins and losses), and matches you up with players who have similar TrueSkill rankings.backflip10019 said:

(stuff like this is why I play, Chess)
So who all is getting the Map Pack from Gamestop? At first I was like "Nah..." but then I saw the flaming helmet for my avatar and was like "Ahh...".
