[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23831179]I remember my first game I got an assassination and some guy sent me a message saying "How you dun dat knif ting?" and people bitched about the controls when they could just change it to the recon layout.[/QUOTE] Fuck yes long live the Recon layout. [editline]04:40PM[/editline] Can't believe I'm one of the few who actually tried the controls option

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;23830685]Halo: Wars was a [i]horrible[/i] RTS game, I am currently in SC2's Platinum league (best RTS in history) and I can honestly say I hated Wars.[/QUOTE] And it was still the best console RTS. :sigh:

:O Space combat
[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23831797]Im more interested in Zeleot its kinda like midship except theres a shield door in the ceiling which takes you into space.[/QUOTE] Oh hairy bananas, YES! I've ALWAYS wanted to explore the space area outside of Midship since Halo 2! :buddy:
Oh my fucking god Reflection looks badass [editline]04:59PM[/editline] [QUOTE=elitehakor;23831847]Recon layout? What was that like?[/QUOTE] The Halo 3 controls
I'm a bumper jumper
Is Recon Layout the exact controls from Halo 3? I heard it was still a little different.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;23832015]Is Recon Layout the exact controls from Halo 3? I heard it was still a little different.[/QUOTE] The left bumper was your Armor Ability, and X switched grenades, other than that it was unchanged iirc.
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;23831908]Oh hairy bananas, YES! I've ALWAYS wanted to explore the space area outside of Midship since Halo 2! :buddy:[/QUOTE] Its even got low gravity outside.
Why do I feel I'll be punching the ground whenever I want to switch to a plasma grenade?
Sky Warthog(Falcons) Vs Banshees I wonder
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;23832107]Why do I feel I'll be punching the ground whenever I want to switch to a plasma grenade?[/QUOTE] Happened to me a few times
[QUOTE=RG4ORDR;23832000]I'm a bumper jumper[/QUOTE] Same here.
Default Control Scheme FTW :patriot:

I preferred the Recon controls myself. After the last 4 games, I found it hard to try to adjust to the new melee. Recon actually feels more like Halo 1 and Halo 2 controls with X as the action button again. [QUOTE=Zezibesh;23833077]I rather liked the Reach controls, actually. Took some adjusting, though.

The game was already half dead, and barely anyone on my Friends list touches it, so I rarely have anyone to play with. I'm glad that I'll be able to play Reach when it comes out, maybe I can put in a more rounds than I did in Halo 2 and meet more than just little kids that bought the game used for $10. I literally played over 9000 games in the span of 3 years.

[editline]06:56PM[/editline] Oh my fucking god I love the style of Reflection. Probably one of the best examples of the engine's diversity and Bungie's artists.

[/QUOTE] I've played Halo Wars, and he's right. It's pretty bad as an RTS. I'd rather play Starcraft over Halo Wars any day, and I'm a huge Halo fan.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;23830685]Halo: Wars was a [i]horrible[/i] RTS game, I am currently in SC2's Platinum league (best RTS in history) and I can honestly say I hated Wars.[/QUOTE] I love few things quite like Halo, and I'm usually very forgiving about shitty games if they have something I like despite. I have yet to complete the first mission out of [i]boredom[/i]. There were better console RTS's. I hear Supcom for console was pretty nice. There was End War, that other thing I can't remember, and RUSE is looking to be a very good console RTS. Maybe only average PC RTS, but very good console RTS.
I played the demo for C&C3 and it was fun
I downloaded the demo for Halo Wars but I couldn't even get through the first level cause all of my people died. I suck at RTS's.
I play Bumper Jumper for Halo 3 but while I played the Reach Beta I noticed it was terrible. The main reason Bumper Jumper is liked is because of it's ability to perform actions needed and let you keep your thumbs on the joysticks. (keeping your aim in combat and able to jump and such) But with the Reach controller layout for Bumper Jumper you spend far more time with your right thumb off the joystick to use armory abilities. <-- Will not be using Bumper Jumper in Reach :(
