Posting even though I didn't keep up with Halo after CE for the new Reach trailer. That was amazing except corny jetpack.

[QUOTE=Novangel;24434095]Posting even though I didn't keep up with Halo after CE for the new Reach trailer. That was amazing except corny jetpack.[/QUOTE] How is the jetpack corny?

Jetpacks are awesome.

Will there be AA in Reach? I mean, on HDTVs, Halo 3 looks like shit.

Elites, and the Covenant in general, are probably the only antagonists I know of that actually piss me off (to the point of anger and hatred), bravo Bungie.

[QUOTE=Flubadoo;24434243]Will there be AA in Reach? I mean, on HDTVs, Halo 3 looks like shit.[/QUOTE] Yes, they said there would be Anti-aliasing in Reach.

I actually attempted to argue with kids on B.net forum about how much better Halo:CE is compared to some of the other Halo games. One kid even said he wouldn't play it cause the game looks "100 years old" Why the fuck am I even trying FP, why?

anyone up for some Halo 2 on the PC? [editline]04:39PM[/editline] Well I would but my fucking halo 2 wont launch because of some bullshit windows live error.

[QUOTE=fish puncher;24435238]Tell them to go play Marathon for the flair. See what they think of that.[/QUOTE] Haha oh man that's a great idea. Other than that, has anyone come up with map ideas for Forge?

Most of today's gamers can't handle marathon durandal.

[QUOTE=Trooper-guy1;24435369]Haha oh man that's a great idea. Other than that, has anyone come up with map ideas for Forge?[/QUOTE] Zombie Escape similar to that of CS:S

I'm not gonna buy something just for a flair I don't even deserve. Now since you can use fixed mode in Forge, I'm gonna remake a CTF map I made in Halo 3. The one that my friend said sucked even though I spent an hour or two on it. But he's a fucking retard who's buying Reach "Because it's new." :hurr: He doesn't even know who you played as in Halo 1, 2, and 3. He probably won't even touch campaign. [editline]10:57AM[/editline] By the way, no Halo 2 today. :smith:

Wow, I don't mean to be an asshole; I mean to be honest. It seems a lot of Halo "veterans" put waaaaaayyy too much of their ego into shit that [B]does not matter[I], [/I][/B]like a little piece of graphical flare. Who fucking cares who has the flair? Do you feel that much more of a badass because you played Halo CE back in the day? The PC version (the xBox version was the original game). What is it you're actually trying to say? "IMA Bigger HALO FAN than YOU!!!" :downsbravo: Realize that who the fuck cares and move on. Realize that you don't have to brag about brand loyalty to be cool. It doesn't get you anywhere, except looking like a consumer zombie.

Yeah I guess so, I won't disagree and act all "It's totally not cause I'm a Halo fan derp derp derp". It just makes me very annoyed even though it has no actual purpose. I was going to try and use some analogy but I couldn't think of one that wouldn't sound stupid so I'll just stop here.

Fucking halo 2 Fuck you Fucking work Fucking windows live is already running bullshit let me play I will fucking hurt you FUCK help me.

[QUOTE=ZapDing;24435890]Fucking halo 2 Fuck you Fucking work Fucking windows live is already running bullshit let me play I will fucking hurt you FUCK help me.[/QUOTE] Insulting it will only make it worse. [editline]11:14AM[/editline] I want Halo 2 because of the campaign, I couldn't care less about the flair.

I hate how people say "I hate da BR its over powered" BR isnt overpowered its just that most other guns suck dick too much to bother picking them up.

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;24436124]I hate how people say "I hate da BR its over powered" BR isnt overpowered its just that most other guns suck dick too much to bother picking them up.[/QUOTE] People underestimate the Assault Rifle way too much. It's the perfect gun to use if you plan to rush and melee a person. A good weapon in general actually.

The BR is the most versatile gun in the game. If you say other wise you haven't played halo.

[QUOTE=ZapDing;24435890]Fucking halo 2 Fuck you Fucking work Fucking windows live is already running bullshit let me play I will fucking hurt you FUCK help me.[/QUOTE] Uninstall and reinstall? By the way, mates, Halo 2 PC's multiplayer and Halo Custom Edition's multiplayer is decidedly barren. Anybody wanna change that? [editline]12:35PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Stripez;24436273]The BR is the most versatile gun in the game. If you say other wise you haven't played halo.[/QUOTE] This is true. Hence why it needed to be rubbed out.

And he gives the company a lot of $$$. Listen, I know it seems like (insert company here) loves their fan base, but in the end, the CEOs have an obligation to be profitable to their shareholders; it's about the money and getting you to spend as much of it as possible.

So what is the default MP weapon for Reach? I didn't get to play the beta.

[QUOTE=Erebus.;24436731]So what is the default MP weapon for Reach? I didn't get to play the beta.[/QUOTE] I think you can pick what gun you spawn with but I didn't play the beta either

Your chosen loadout has a default weapon specific to it.

I can agree with that a lot actually. Right now what I hate most is the marketing tactics of making people guy from stores like Gamestop and such with bonus content that cannot be recieved from anywhere else. It's kind of cheap, however, it works. Also, the default weapon is the Assault Rifle. That is really the iconic weapon of Halo no matter who says "itz t3h BR lul"

Depends on what gametype and what class. Usually the standard was Assault Rifle, grenades and one of four AAs in normal Slayer and CTF (I think). Pro Slayer was either DMR or Assault Rifle plus AAs, and Invasion depended on the current stage. I know in the final stage you could start out with grenade launchers and shotguns.
