    Well, they both definitely take place after Tip of the Spear due to the ships involved and both of the multi maps have some glassing going on.

    While Unearthed is quite good, I'm one of those who would have rather had a new Invasion map instead. That said, Highlands is a phenomenal BTB map and I don't regret picking up Defiant at all.

    I kinda just want to pop in here and say how much I like the new Arena gametypes. I'm not as Anti-AR in Reach as I was in Halo 3, probably because it's useful now and doesn't lend itself to LOOOOOOOOOL MELEE gameplay anymore.

    It probably doesn't take into account the large increase in credits earned every rank you go up.

    Yea, it's interesting to see how many credits you need for each rank.... just completely ignore the days require part though. It's going to be way off even if you just look at your next rank. Your average credits per day is going to be much lower because it's including time you spent at the low levels where a 2,000 commendation was huge. I've been getting 4,000 average on the long games in the defiant playlist.

    I was thinking it would suck having a new firefight map over a competitive playlist map. Then I played some unearthed. I love it. Not only because of the way the map is spread out and layered, but you can use the rocket hog. The drawback is that in firefight arcade people tend to blow up the hog once you start doing great with it.

    Jerks! I ended up with over a hundred and twenty wheelmans in a fistfight. Paired with over fifteen splatters. I haven't had this much fun behind the wheel of a hog since Halo 3.

    Unearthed is full o' delight. I love that there are some many different places you can fortify, and the 'Hog is great fun. I still wish it was a Gauss 'Hog or that there was a menu option to change it. But these are minor quibbles.

    Any one else let out a sigh of relief while playing these maps that maybe Halo isn't doomed without Bungie?

    You also forgot me as well.

    Also dammit, I bought a 1600 point card for Defiant + ME2 DLC and then I decided to get Green Day RB for a future export. I'm gonna need another card. At least I can use the points left over from that for Fable 3 (my free game for renewing Live).

    Also, I should be on Friday/Saturday this week. Hopefully.

    Edit: I never thought Halo would die without bungie. We've made some pretty awesome maps and I really enjoyed the last maps these guys map when I finally got to play them during the last "Hurrah!" (Fyre was right, being released at the end of H2's life cycle was bad).

    I just wonder if we're going to get anything "new-new". Everything we're getting from 343i takes place before or during the main trilogy (including the new books). I want to know what's going to happen to the Elites now or Brutes or even the UNSC after the war.

    Is that 'days to Inheritor'? Not only does it not take bonuses into account, it also doesn't take challenges or commendatiosn into account, either. It may only be 10% of your total cR, but it helps.

    I doubt Kor has over two years to Inheritor. I doubt I have over three.

    I found an use for my extra Defiant code.

    Although I still plan on some PA-specifice Noble/Defiant giveways.

    Also yeah, I hope Mattrick doesn't hold back any future Reach DLC for years after it comes out just for a marketing bonus. The last maps for 2 and 3 basically went un-noticed because they came out so late. Which is a shame considering Longshore.

    For most of the higher level people Inheritor is slightly more than a year away. If you got the level cap now everyday you'd be done before the years out.

    Also DA2 has been taking all of my attention away from Halo. I'm already on my second play through!
    I think once I beat it again, then I'll buy the new map pack and be back to playing some Haloz.

    Easily hit it well before that mark.

    If you hit 60k a day in credits you'd be done in a year. Cutting that in half, to 30k, which is super easy to do in a night, would get you there in two. We're all gonna be dumbass 180 prestige by 2013.

    Edit: that 60k a day would be if you started playing right now.

    Yeah. Hitting 120k a day is ridiculous amounts of playing. 30 a day is easy. That's about ten games at my current rank.

    Ridiculous is context to the current rank though.

    I'm netting almost 4K a game. Which means what? 30 games a day would put me at the cap? And I'm at the very bottom of the "high end" levels.

    You gonna put in 30 games a day? That's why I'm stressing a small investment of time, two and a half hours, less if you are purely running around in FF Arcade, you're still gonna hit Inheritor before 2013.

    So I may have just seen my new funniest Halo moment yet. Rocketfight on Beachhead. I'm running around on the grass, I hear "Reinforcements" I know I happen to be standing right by a spawn point, so I spin around. Sure enough, 5 elites right behind me. I center my reticule as they turn their weapons towards me, I'm hoping I don't blow myself up or miss enough that they waste me. I'm pulling the trigger, and suddenly, all of them get splattered by a boosting ghost.

    also thanks to grifball I finally got my MP matchmaking killtacular.
