Wow, having not played Halo 3 in a very, very long time I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Reach was filled with prepubescent kids running their mouths. Also, teabagging still goes on? Felt like I was playing counter-strike.
On another note I really suck at this game. Worse than Halo 3 (and that is saying something). anyone looking to lend a hand showing someone the ropes?
Here's hoping the social matchmaking options actually works, because god knows I like the idea of "Quiet" players that are playing "Just For Fun" and are "Team Players"
The talkative players that play to win are the ones that are generally asses.
Zero... we need to team up.
So I thumbed through my service record and found all the weapons I used and had used against me along with their description.
Among them:
Falling Damage (iiiiieeeeeeee!!!)
Flag (It's right next to the headlight fluid)
and Classified (I'm calling my lawyer!)
Also, with my rough math, and ~2000 being the top Arena score, I'm at ~60% of the rest of the Halo community (today's score is ~1400, as was yesterday's and the day before). I'm surprised I'm that high.

So apparently my arm ceases to exist from time to time. Weird.
An image that got posted up on Bungie.net suggested that robo arm will be an armour piece. Well that or all the female armour will have it as standard.

Man, I hate the way that people instantly jump to Slayer Pro in arena. Bar one match it's the only time I've got a negative K/D, and more importantly, it just isn't that fun.

I'll jump on in a few minutes and we'll have two votes in our control.

I bet if it was named "Slayer Gimped" no one would vote for it. People probably see that 'Pro' label and think, "that's me! let's do it!"
What's your gamertag, dude? You should put that in your forum profile.
Sorry, I'm Quite Absurd, think we played the other night.

SO if you have 8 friends online and grouped up (through the reach interface), when you do matchmaking does it make 4 on 4 out of your 8 person group? Not sure if I explained what I was asking very well...
So tossing grenades up that lift on sword base that leads into a tiny little room, getting a kill off that, following the last grenade up the lift, and getting an assassination as soon as I get to the top was pretty much the greatest thing ever.
I Reach. Hope they hurry and explain the rating system. I'm kind of curious where I stand with a 1648.
Also, with my rough math, and ~2000 being the top Arena score, I'm at ~60% of the rest of the Halo community (today's score is ~1400, as was yesterday's and the day before). I'm surprised I'm that high.
1400 is Silver division right?
I was able to get my rating at around 1674 but its just too difficult playing with god damn pubs. I'll have to wait for some of you guys to get on before I play again

I plan on hopping on tonight but I have never played with anyone here and I really stink so take that for what it is worth (about 7 cents).
My rating for yesterday was 1584 when I signed off and the day before is was 1623. What does this do for me? I see there is some sort of "season" ranking or something, but I feel like I'm learning a new language.
Yeah, we did no shield BR spawns quite often in Halo 2 before it ever made it into the playlists.
It's not like it's a complicated gametype. "Hey! Let's turn off shields! It'll be great headshot practice!" And thus SWAT was born, all over the internet, within days of Halo 2 releasing.
Not really feeling Reach SWAT yet though, but maybe it needs a better map
The loss of the 3 round burst is what does it I think. In H2 and H3, I'd sweep the reticule from the target's torso towards their head as I pulled the trigger, odds were good that one of the bullets would nail them in the head.
With Reach though, you really gotta pace your shots and line up for the kill. It really makes it feel like a different game.
Found a great way to bust up grav lift lockdowns on sword base: Have one guy go first with armor lock to take the hits and then send a few more to mop up the guys at the top while they reload.
If I play FFA matches, I honestly tear it up. My worst game I went +6 and I won 1st place in every match except that one.
If I play teams with strangers, I just get mowed down. In 5 attempts yesterday my final two matches actually yeilded a positive K/d. The first 3 were nightmares.
Another issue is, I am absolutely horrid at covy slayer. I love the plasma rifle in regular slayer, but I cant kill anyone with it in covy. I have no idea what I am doing wrong...

I'm not seeing it, I did notice that a plasma burn mark appeared on the floor when he hit you with the sword though, should maybe mention that in the feedback section.

Things I've noticed...
Hit detection on the shotgun is a little off. A shot to the face will break shields, but not kill. Also, aiming next to an arm, outside the body, has produced full kills.
Hammer hit detection seems off, but might be WAI.
Why, with there being the needle rifle, is the DMR around? Seems as if they do the same job, with the NR having a cool quirk.
Grenades and the Focus Rifle can go die in a fire.
Ranking up takes far longer than in previous Halos, this is a welcome addition.

GT is forum name, btw.
shotgun to the face does as much dmg to shotgun to the foot when shields are present, and previous halo games had equivalent human/covie weapons--such as BR to carbine

Also, Sergeant is actually spelled correctly.
Which you did fantastically tonight.
I watched that game, you jumped right down on that spot!

You're ok in my book.

I'd love to. However, I've got an essay to write. Probably be on tonight though.

Guys, it's just one grenade.
I'm getting better, it's just I don't really strive to be better. I just like to have a bit o' fun.
Also, fuck you guys using invisibility. I enjoy my radar and you guys are fucking RUINING it.
Believe it or not, my friends and I actually came up with the gametype before Bungie did. Except we called it Take Cover.
Everyone thinks this. I had a friend who called it Mayhem and swore it was him and his brother.

Pretty much. Probably about the 250th time I've seen someone say that, heh

Love the grenade launcher so damn much. +75 K/D with it, haha.

Powerhouse I'm a little unsure about, but stockpile on it is good.
Here's the disappearing arm thing I was talking about.
