It is so goddamn refreshing to see brand-new multiplayer palettes.
If anyone has any screenshots/video requests, let me know. I don't have Bungie Pro, though, so someone else will have to cover the render minutes.

Keep the impressions coming guys, can't wait to pick up the maps tomorrow. I don't even enjoy Reach as I did other Halo's but I'm willing to buy them just to support the artists. That stuff is unbelievable. Seriously Bungie must be the most underrated studio when it comes to visuals this generation, even Halo 3 had it's moments when things just synced up to look absolutely stunning.
Oh and part two of my "I just can't Reach" article is coming along nicely, will post when done.
Enjoy guys, I expect a full Anchor 9 MLG dissection by the morning.
Oh and it's snowing like a blizzard in England.

We just played straight FFA slayer on Anchor 9. Started out with four, but people kept joining. Map feels pretty good. Rocket launcher really dominates, though. Shield doors are irksome, but not horribly so. The low-gravity jumps are actually pretty fun!
Definitely think it would better in a team game, though. You feel very exposed in the two 'canyons' in FFA.

As a Canadian, this isn't good news as we're bound to get something equally or more deadly. Fuck.Arnie said:Keep the impressions coming guys, can't wait to pick up the maps tomorrow.

Dang, even more people got codes, I promise to not complain about AL anymore....
ugh, I can't do that, wouldn't be any fun without complaining about it. I'll probably have to wait to pick this map pack up anyways.

To be fair, you were against Dax. Does Anchor 9 even have Needlers?Shake Appeal said:

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I agree. It was fun at first, but now, ugh. If it comes up for vote in a lobby, it always wins, no matter what shitty map it might be on. And every game is just an AL-plasma spam fest it barely resembles Halo. I really don't mind AL as much as some, but it gets old fast when everyone in a game is using it.Falt said:
Can't wait for the new maps. Anchor 9 looks especially awesome.

You can also jump straight from rocket walkway to the upper platform inside (it's easier if you sprint first, but it can be done without). And if you sprint-jump at the back of the map you can jump directly from one base to the other using the little raised platform in the middle.Willeth said:

We're having some weird connection issues with these maps. Dani, Sai-Kun, and now Vh.

I was getting a lot of lag in that game and I saw vhfive was redbarring. Other ones were fine. It's weird, but I doubt it's related to the maps.Dax01 said:

I think Breakpoint may be my favorite Invasion map, even though I only played one game of it. It gives the high point advantage to the attacking team for the first phase, which is pretty relieving.
Edit: Wish we could've gotten more games on Tempest. That map left me wanting more.

There seemed to be a lot of shield-door camping on Anchor 9 in FFA. It's not as prevalent in Team Slayer because in Team Slayer the combat is spread out more around the map, but it did rear its ugly head in FFA.
Customs are different from matchmaking, so what I played might not be a good indicator for what most people will experience.

The maps look amazing, and Tempest will probably become the best objective map in the game. Looks like it will work well for 4v4 even, Anchor 9 looks fun too, we'll see about the shield doors. Didn't do much on the Invasion map, it looks really nice though. I logged on to play but no one was on. :lol

I don't think we have to do that anymore since we are in the community forum now, do we?
Geez, I leave to do some Christmas shopping/pick up an XBL points card, eat dinner, then watch Chuck & The Event and I miss codes being t-shirt cannoned onto the intertubes. Yet another sign that I should never, ever step away from my computer :lol
Great to hear the positive impressions and I can't wait to join you guys tomorrow.

Reach just did the weirdest thing to me. I logged on and my NAT type was "Moderate" when it's usually "Open" so I went to restart my modem and router which in the past has fixed it. I log back on and none of my stats are displaying right nor is my Spartan equipped properly but my cR is still the same. I've had this problem before and it usually fixes itself but I got impatient and logged out and in again. This time the game seems to have defaulted everything. Everything in my Armory is listed as "New!", my Spartan is back to standard Mark V with randomized colors, emblem and callsign and my control settings are default. Thank god my cR was still fine and everything I unlocked in the Armory remained unlocked. I logged out and back in again to see if everything would be normal this time and I was greeted with the "Welcome to Noble" screen you get when booting up Reach the first time and everything was still reset. Really weird; anyone else have this happen to them?
