Board 8 > The Official Halo: Reach Topic #5: And some stuff that was birds.

(+) Yeah! (+)

But mostly stuff on fire that was destroyed.

Been a while since we've had a Halo: Reach topic, but with 343 taking over with plans to adjust some gameplay elements (like reticle bloom and armor lock) there might be some greater interest. Personally, neither of those things bothered me so it's all good!

GT: TJ Strife

I do a lot of 4 on 4 Team Slayer but I'm always open to anything that's not SWAT.

Also, this week's weekly challenge is a LASO (Legendary, All Skulls On) on Pillar of Autumn. Even with 4 people, this is incredibly difficult and time consuming.

Of course, right after I sell the game, they come out with new challenges. -__-

Shows how much I played this game!

And also why the $46 I got for it was totally worth it!

I've still got my free test copy from the dashboard beta a while back.

I should play sometime. Never been very good at Halo though.

Don't worry, none of us are good at Halo, either. We just enjoy playing the game!

I like the Armor Lock nerfs, that thing has always been annoying. Also liking the Sword buff and melee nerf. The update is coming mid-September right?

GT: peril1337

I'm usually on around 3AM EST, but I can come on earlier. I'm almost always playing with a guest, but he's better than me so no worries.

Yes, I laugh at my own jokes.

I use Armor Lock a lot so the changes might affect me but I'm not too worried. Just gotta adapt is all.

Won't be playing any Halo: Reach any time soon. My account was frozen due to someone hacking into it and using my card to purchase a s***-ton of MS Points.

Yaaaaaaaaaaay.

I picked up the game recently after not playing since... November? Man, I suck.

Trying to get through legendary right now, hopefully I can finish by the time Anniversary comes out. Yes, I'm that non-confident in my Halo skills.

Wait, what armorlock nerfs? Its been a while since I played reach.

Also, that sucks rock :(

The main nerf is that any damage you take while in armor lock takes off some of your AL bar. Also, it won't remove stickies that are already on you, so you gotta predict em.

F***, I just lost two hours of progress on Long Night of Solace - like I said, I suck at this game. I was on the very last part, where you and Jorge defend the area, and now I'm back at the initial infiltration.

It will launch for $350 with some Wii Sports s***. I bet my life on it. Damn, that KoolAid guy is awesome - NGamer64

Holy s***, I forgot about how Halo: CEA is going to have all these old remastered Halo and Halo 2 maps that are Reach compatible. That's a Headlong remake, correct?

I'll be getting the map pack.

Screw paying full price for an HD update that doesn't have the multiplayer, which is what MADE that game. Don't care if it's outdated, should have been a damn option.

Breakneck, huh.

I don't fault Alec for doing what he's going to do, but I don't have my copy of Halo CE anymore so I'm going t to buy it.

I'll probably get the Anniversary edition since I never played Halo CE.

The Reach update comes on October 4. I think they're having new playlists as well. C'mon Rocket Hogs!

The update actually happens on Wednesday, but the testing playlist for it won't open til Oct. 4, so the only noticeable change at first will be 4GB players able to play co-op and firefight online (though not through matchmaking at first). And I don't believe the full set of new playlists - the ones that actually take advantage of what the title update does - is hitting til Anniversary, though there is definitely some kind of playlist update in October.

So, I'm now using version 1.1.
The only difference I noticed was that the camo lasted longer if I was stationary. Or maybe it was that way to begin with... I don't know. What got updated?

The updates aren't actually in place at all yet, except on one particular gametype you can get from the HaloWaypoint fileshare to use in customs. Matchmaking won't see the updates at all til October 4, when a beta hoppers playlist starts up, and then when Anniversary launches there'll be some new playlists specifically for that (and that the update is specifically preparing for).
