[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24342523]Heh, someone on Kotaku asked if Reach will have dual wielding, and when told no, someone else chimed in and asked "How is it Halo then?"

Dual wielding, IMO, was a rarely used, hard to make effective ability. It was flashy and cool for Halo 2, but in Halo 3 I never saw people using it. No melee+grenades made it a deal breaker for Halo 3's style, for Reach it'd be too sluggish in comparison with armor abilities.

I only ever used a Plasma Pistol/Rifle and Magnum combo or a dual spiker combo (which is surprisingly effective).
EDIT: Also, apparently you can [sp]use the Hunter's cannons now, they're wielded in third-person like a turret[/sp].

I use dual wielding all the time. If you get a combination of 2 plasma rifles/2 brute spikers/1 plasma rifle 1 spiker, it can beat mostly anything at close range.
Having the must fucking futile arguement ever with someone about Reach and why it's 'not going to live up to the hype'
[B]His arguement when you boil it down:[/B] Halo Reach only has a few improvements over Halo 3, mostly it is the same and you could just play Halo 3 if you want what Halo Reach has. He argues that because of the 'improvements' Reach brings, it's not worth the hype.
This is his 'realistic approach' to the hype, according to him.

People who haven't actually played the game should be thoroughly disregarded.

It's quite obvious this is true! :eng101:
I can't wait for social big team on Blood Gulch :D
I still want that Big Team Skirmish playlist :(
And oh man I can't wait for Team Snipers (pleeeeaaseee) on Ascension/Pinnacle
in halo 2 it was awesome fun
Damnit, I thought I had more time on my Gold Membership. It just ended a few minutes ago when I was going to do some Lone Wolves, and I don't really have much money that I'm not already planning on using right now. :saddowns:
I just want to beat campaign. I will reach nirvana, and from there on proceed to bring my glorious 1337tacticool skillzzzzz to Reach.
[QUOTE=the_killer24;24336876]The new TFoR? Because from what I've heard, the guy who edited it was a retard and changed all the dates to 2542.[/QUOTE]
The new FoR. And the stupid fucker did change the dates to 2542.
Forge World question here:
Will there be a different way to share creation than the Halo 3 way?
I didn't like that I could only share my creation with other friends on XBL, and I couldn't just download the best ones. Will it be different? I'm hoping there will be a voting system so the best maps can be downloadable, like in Far Cry 2 (if memory serves).
Is there a new sharing system? What are the deets?

The gametype I always did with my friends and my brother was called "Pizzawar"(I have no clue why I called it that. I think I was being random.). In it, you had two weapons: A Rocket Launcher and a Sniper Rifle. It was the most fun I've ever had in a Halo game. I re-created it in Halo 3, and I plan on dong it again in Reach. The funny thing was that in Halo 2, the Rocket Launcher could lock-on to vehicles, and we set them to "High", so someone always risked their life trying to get into a Banshee and find the best sniping spot, and they would have three rockets following them, so it was always a big thrill. We played it on other maps, but Ascension was always the best. It still stands to this day as my second favorite Halo map ever, being CLOSELY beat by Headlong. Lockout was in third. Halo 2 had the best Halo maps, hands down.

Yeah, The tagging and sharing system in Reach means if your map goes viral it could very well be noticed by Bungie, there will be a public area on Reach somewere, where you can search for certain tags on maps or see the latest popular maps etc.

Argh.. I was just about to go on Halo 3 and play some Big Team Battle for old times sake but I forgot my Live ran out today :frown:

Thanks. Sounds good. Sadly, I'm the only one of my friends who plays Halo, so the motivation for Forging was not there at all. It was boring. "Yay! I made a cool map! For myself . . . alone . . ."

Well college starts in a week and I should be getting some money so I'm going to buy a year of live and Bungie Pro :smug:
Then 2 weeks after that I'll have Halo Reach and my sexy new Reach themed 360 Slim :v:

Another good reason why this thread exsists.
I swear theres a lot more posts on this thread now.
Everytime I go to bed and wake up the next morning I miss like 100 to 200 posts.
[QUOTE=KingKombat;24329868]Oh yeah, I had a dream I played Reach.
I dunno if any of you have had those dream where you dream of a game you REALLY want, and in your dream the game is a piece of shit.
I had one of those. Then I woke up and was all "oh fuck oh fuck what the fuck was that shit"[/QUOTE]
I had a dream i was playing on the snowy map on Halo 3 before it was out, then when i played the map i realized i already knew my way around the map from the dream.
What.

What? It doesn't exist. Social Skirmish is good, though. I like Big Team Battle, but it has the problem of too much Slayer, which will probably amplify with the Reach voting system

I once day dreamed about my favorite show, and my favorite episode on that show. I turned on the TV, and there it was. :tinfoil: My mom sometimes has that happen, too.
