Halo Reach

Although I don't necessarily consider camping and sniping to be more skilled than dual wielding, but again, to each his own. They are allowing it again in the original Halo remake right? If not, I'll probably pass.

I don't really camp. I move around the map trusting the DMR will see me through any inconvenience I find on my way. However if I do have a sniper I might camp, but I eventually end up moving to avoid getting cornered. You gotta camp a bit with the sniper though. You don't want to be reckless with it and end up dead. Even worse is getting killed with lots of ammo because then the opposing team will get the sniper and use it against you.

Doubt the remake will have dual wielding because Halo 1 didn't have it.

Only dual wield weapons I liked were the dual magnums pre-patch in Halo 2. Those babes could kill anything in .5 seconds.

I'd use smg and needler or thst alien weapon you had to charge. i used to do pretty well with that. I'm not saying that all snipers are campers but I remember several matches in Reach where that was all that was going on. If it comes to that, I would just rather play CoD or something like that where there is a better variety of weapons.

lol. All right then. If I may ask what is your gt?

socool8520. My stats are not good on halo reach though. I didn't play it much due to the reasons stated above. I do play CoD quite a bit though.

Same as your username...neat.

I was just curious.

Also CoD doesn't take skill at all IMO. It is fun for what it is, although they should revamp the series after Modern Warfare 3.

Imo halo takes more skill then COD.

That said I feel they should have kept the weapon diversity of halo 3/2 with reaches engine

My thoughts on Team matchmaking in Halo Reach:

Removing betrayals from Firefight is understandable but why not also take them out of Team Slayer and Big Team Battle? Why was the option to kill teammates ever created? Was it to give that sense of freedom or something for players? If that's the case then some of the staff members at Bungie are idiots. I must be one unlucky son of a broad to be encountering more than two or three trolls in each and every team-based match today. All of them firing/meleeing people while teabagging the ground, jumping on top of their heads, hopping around, or making harsh comments while hoping their teammates kill them so they can boot 'em and laugh about it makes me sick to my stomach. Thank you Bungie for creating a generation of morons while showing us you can stop the madness but won't do it. Here's to hoping that 343 Industries does things you were too lazy to do.

I wouldn't call them idiots. Just naive. They had faith in the 12 years old who just betray and are lamers. Team Killing gives a sense of priority/urgency/carefulness when playing because you have to make sure you don't hurt/kill your teammates. When playing without assholes it makes the game better. Alas assholes ruin everything for everyone.

Maybe.

If only the imbeciles who shoot and teabag their teammate's corpse on a daily basis had that same sense of priority/urgency/carefulness but alas, they don't. I understand what Bungie tried to do but they failed miserably at it for they've created something that was once only a wet dream to trolls everywhere.

Of course playing a match when there aren't any @$$holes is better but I find that to be very rare to find these days.

@$$holes can't ruin a game that doesn't give you the option to team kill like Gears of War for example. They can fire at you all they want. The bullets will either phase through you or hit you but won't take any health off. All they can do is say things to annoy you and thank god for mute.

Yeah...but assholes will still find a way to troll our asses in any game.

Case in point trolls in CoD that block doorways on purpose and since you cannot kill them you're pretty much boned, lol.

We should just find a team to get rid of those morons. I tend to encounter assholes in Big Team Battle the most.

The update is apparently arriving on the 21st of this month.

50K credits to level up to Mythic. It feels like forever, but I gotta say it went a bit faster thanks to this week's challenge.

I am disappointed in 343. Turns out they didn't remove bloom. They just lowered 15% of it. That is just retarded and it is even worse because what we're looking for is to punish players that spam the DMR facepalm

Can't believe I got excited for nothing.

over

So now I have been told the 85% bloom is an option for the beta playlists. Apparentely the September update is just a beta and the update will go on matchmaking in October 3rd. Looks like they will have the new stuff available in fileshare for us to try them out and see for ourselves. There IS a Team Slayer NO BLOOM file....so they say.

I must investigate...

I'm one more credit away from earning the rank of Hero but for some stupid reason, I'm being told I reached my credit limit. WTH?

hahaha you reached the cap.

Played Reach again this morning and I've finally reached the rank of Hero. About time.

Congrats bro. BTW how have you been playing all day long? Didn't have school this week?
