First thing I did was scroll through the weapon lists. All the main guns have a limit of 16, so it's easy to see how many of what is on the map.Dax01 said:
Plus, Bungie posted map overviews before that showed them:
Edit: urk, is it okay to post video/pics? I could do a walkthrough of the maps and render them for the GAF crew suffering without.

Hmm, I've been playing a lot of multiplayer lately... Might as well pick these up for some pan-cam and explosionfest action. The maps look amazing, though I'm kind of disappointed Tempest apparently uses the same Forge palette as Forge World.

Yeah from GameStop. The manager at my local GameStop is really nice and laid back. She managed to work everything so I could pre-order 15 at once.

The crashed Longsword looks like it's been there for a long, long time.
only tried Anchor 9 so far, it looks really fantastic (planet Reach, gorgeous), and seems like it could play really well, with the Pit-esque layout (middle dividing wall, a mini-arena on each side), I like it all except for the jetpack-only stop on top of the aircraft.. boo for that bungie, boooooooo
And of course, I have no idea how the outside part will work when the griefer douchebags get their hands on it.

Not that far. But there are parts where people can stay there have enough space to avoid a grenade blast.Raide said:

First off, Ghal you are one hell of a gent and a scholar. Same goes for you Urkster.
In Forge on Breakpoint currently, and I want to go ahead and say that I love BTB. Defintely the most fun playlist IMO.
This map will rock with 16 players. It can't wait to play it. It reminds me of an inverted valhalla with a mix of Avalanche, two maps that I love.
I will make sure I'm on tonight and, hell, I'm ready to mess around with them right now if someone is up for it.

With new achievements popping tomorrow I figured I'd buckle down and unlock the final achievement I needed for 1000/1000... 40 minutes later.
God damn... Once I got the method down I was hitting assassination after assassination after assassination. I went into a sort of zen
like autopilot. Finally blink bloop. Roll on tomorrow already!

With all that holograming, you're post count is actually doubled.
Hi HaloGAF. I'm hoping this post will be ignored among all the Noble Map Pack discussion.
After beating campaign once, I sort of stopped playing Reach. I loved the campaign. I still love it, and I want to play it more, but I don't quite have the time to do legendary runs.
And I've really tried to get into MP. But I just can't with this game. Some of the basic combat is still so good. But things like armor lock and DMR starts really are game breaking to me. I know you've heard it a thousand times, but AL just completely breaks the flow of gameplay for me. It's not the game I want to play. As for DMR starts: I damn adore the DMR as a support weapon. AR/Pistol starts are perfect to me, and the DMR being a pickup in those gametypes is the ideal use for it. That way, it's like a middle tier specialty weapon.
By now I doubt you care though. You've all heard this so many times :lol I'm still going to come back to this game every once in a while, and I'm hoping to play campaign a bunch over break. But the MP clearly isn't for me.
Enjoy the Noble pack, it looks awesome.

I hadn't played Reach since Oct 19 (over 5 weeks) until this weekend. I played some MP on my bro-in-law's account. I expected it to take a while to get into the groove, but man, I gotta say... it felt good. I was back to doming fools with the DMR within the first couple minutes.
Really though, my performance doesn't mean anything. I'm a level ~35 truskill player and he's probably closer to 15 (not very good at all) so all I was really doing was going Beast Mode all over some unsuspecting scrubs :lol
The worst was the game of SWAT, though. Bro-in-law had played 0 SWAT so he wasn't ranked. I went +14 and we won 50-17. One poor dude on the opposing team stayed the entire match, and got ZERO kills. ZERO. I can appreciate not being very good. Especially at SWAT. But... I can't believe he truly went 0-14. :lol
Moral of the story: if you've been feeling burnt out on Halo, play on the account of someone much worse than you and clean up against some noobs.

Bungie could bring a lot of people back to Reach slowly by switching off TrueSkill in a few playlists.GDJustin said:

To be fair, I think ske7ch mentioned they wanted to open Forgetacular to everyone, but Microsoft couldn't/wouldn't allow it.Raide said:

You guys want a tour of the maps? Or will that enhance the blue balls?
Eh. It's one day, you'll live.
vv There's plenty of gameplay vids out now, such as Bungie's previews. But I didn't get a feel for the maps from them, which is why I thought a walk-through would be nice. But NM.
