So I was looking at some of my save films when I stumbled upon this



Awesome. But...where did that grenade on his head come from?



Why that no good, backstabbing...

JC of DI

ahahaha

Covy Slayer is always good times. Just had a match where I shunted a dude's sword away with my gun

Muggins

Yeah a well timed melee blocks it now! I think it takes out your shields though.

Every single time that has happened I hear the other dude just go 'WHAT THE F-' and then I bash his skull in.

Nah, all I was doing was browsing the internet on my PC. Not even downloading anything else.

Maybe it was just a major time when a lot of people were downloading it, I don't know.

Kusuguttai

so i played like four games of this
not impressed

the whole changing up of the control scheme AGAIN was kind of unnecessary and jarring
i go to melee people and i switch my grenade type

JC of DI

The Recon controller setting is the most like regular Halo 3's setup, though equipment/armor and grenade-swap change places on the map.

Kusuguttai

oh there's a different way to map the controls
good i like that

DarkPrimus

Of course there are multiple control schemes. There always have been.

And the change was necessary, since armor abilities need to be on a button that can be accessible while moving and looking.

Kusuguttai

nah fuck that idea and fuck you too

Fosterdid

Lovin' the beta. If this was the full game (well plus a few maps of course) I would be okay with that. I'd be just fine

Faricazy

played the beta yesterday at my friend's house (i don't have ODST or even Live at the moment)

SWAT mode is the fucking bomb oh my GOD

Aretè

Invasion mode today suckas

Bedigunz

Fucking finally. I spent 2 hours with my internet providers and my internet is fixed. I started downloading the Beta and came back to work.

I'll be on after work around like 5 and then pretty much all day on Sunday. My god I'm getting a boner just thinking about it.

Faricazy

next weekend is free Silver weekend for the beta so i'll play you gents then

but ffffuckkkk realistic damage Halo is really all I've ever wanted. It's no holds barrel badass.

Balefuego

SWAT has been around since Halo 2

Muggins

SWAT is also the dumbest thing ever

Invasion is hard by the way.

in the same form as in Reach? are you sureeee

how did i play a bunch of Halo 3 without noticing

maybe it's the guns that are making the difference

FirmSkater

Halo 2 SWAT was fantastic. Especially on Ivory Tower

It started as a custom game type people made. Bungie apparently liked it so much they put it into matchmaking.

thorpe

I think the best part of Reach so far is that they finally made the Covenant guns feel like something a cut above a toddler's light up toy. Particularly the repeater, which is beastly.

DontShootToasters

I think I like the covie weapons more than the human ones now, which makes sense since elites are supposed to be downright better

In Halo 3 it was a playlist I think with only two man teams.

you apparently never played any of the SWAT playlists!

but they were there

DarkPrimus

I got the coolest assassination as an Elite earlier tonight.

Straight just stabbed the dude and tossed him over my shoulder like it weren't no thang.

Viscount Islands

I'm not sure I like Invasion very much.

VALVEjunkie

every single game I have played of invasion has ended with the elites losing regardless of what team I was on

the core gets three fucking feet away from the point and time runs out.

EVERY

FUCKING

TIME

now invasion slayer?
pretty fuckin fun

Viscount Islands

In the one game I played I was an Elite and we won.

VALVEjunkie

huh

MY POINT STILL STANDS

Viscount Islands

Yeah the Core never got more than three feet away though.

Balefuego

I think Invasion is pretty fun!

The Otaku Suppository

So how exactly does one pull off the assassination moves? Besides being invisible and behind someone?

Balefuego

you dont have to be invisible

you just have to hold down the melee button when you kill them from behind

Ubik

I hate Invasion just like I hate all flag type games in Halo because

goddamn fucking flag tossing assholes. It does not move it any faster

and so far every game of normal invasion i've played, covies have won, but the reverse holds true for invasion slayer

The grenade launcher EMP effect is pretty awesome against banshees

Ubik

It's really hard for Covenant to win invasion from what I've seen

After the second phase, the spawn points suck so you basically have to drop and take damage unless you have the jetpack

Also, it's bull that the Spartans can steal the Covenant weapons that spawn right after you take the first objective

Also, that room with the Core is so tiny and the Spartans get so many explosive weapons that it's almost impossible to get it out

And on top of that, the Spartans can spawn in between the Core and the Goal in a room that has Sniper Rifles in it

The whole thing feels really poorly designed, I'm not a big fan of the Invasion map

But yea, I agree that Invasion Slayer is pretty fun

TheLawinator

I want to play this but don't have ODST. Mad.

when you drop from the elite spawn point you can crouch to avoid fall damage

doesnt help if it's a really big fall but still

GreasyKidsStuff

There's a few boxes and stuff on the ground you can try and land on, the elite jumps pretty far if you run. And yeah, crouching.
