[QUOTE=richard9311;25012281]I just have a quick question. How bad does it butcher the book? I understand the game is not based around the book, but the only reason anyone is interested in Reach is because of the book. So I want to know if they alter major things or do something ridiculously stupid.[/QUOTE]
Nothing very important is retconned
[QUOTE=stealth_camo;25012000]Why isn't Action Sack one of the playlists in Reach? Action Sack was so much fun in H3.[/QUOTE]
Probably added next month

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;25012468]I'm interested in Reach and I've never read any of the books. They should do whatever the fuck they want with the story, the books mean nothing in game canon.[/QUOTE]
Without the books there'd be no backstory, and the universe would be pretty dull

Someone wanna play with me :saddowns:
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;25013297]Wow, I just played a game of Slayer on Boardwalk. 10 seconds in 3 of the enemy team quits, leaving one guy to fight off the four of my team. He stuck around for the whole match and managed to get 20 kills. I sent him a message telling him I respected him for sticking around. :respek:[/QUOTE]
We also had something like that happen. Played with 3 other fellas in my party, the enemies were assholes and left only one of them to play with us.. He wasn't too good and got only a few kills but to show our immense amount of appreciation, we all sent him heart-warming messages about how great guy he must be. The answer was "thanx", though, but he must have been in a hurry to save damsels in distress or such, stuff your everyday hero would do.
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;25010676]They cheat with a lot of custom options[/QUOTE]
Uh, no. No cheating involved, custom game nets you 60cR. They play Gruntpocalypse legit andshityo, and it isn't that easy either.

What, why the hell?
how the fuck are people able to sprint in classic gamemodes
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;25016644]how the fuck are people able to sprint in classic gamemodes[/QUOTE]
I spawn with sprint every time? IIRC.
couldn't they just set it to spawn w/o aa's just like the old days

I didn't have sprint when I played :saddowns:
The Cage is pretty fun on One Bomb Assault.

Jesus, I'm having more fun in one team objective match than in my whole history of Team Slayer.
Can someone tell me what forge war is? It sounds fun.

Hmh, I'm pretty sure I always had sprint when I played classic.. Weird.
And yeah, team objective is definitely goddamn great fun when you get to a party with 3 other talkative persons. Every enemy so far has been Swedish, if not, we pretend they are, makes winning even sweeter and losing even more bitter.
Had a really odd glitch yesterday while playing Coop with my brother. For some reason, Emile didn't have the skull carving on his helmet. His helmet was just shiny.

If your playing on one Xbox this happens.
Yeah if you play splitscreen then there are no bullet holes/blood and the effects are dumbed down too.
Wow, I found this game to be harder on a bigger screen.

how are you guys showing your videos?

Just checked in Theater, sometimes the enemies or my teammates have sprint, but not always. I never get it.
[QUOTE=codemaster85;25017656]first week stats:
[LIST]
[*]On Tuesday, 09/14/2010 at approximately 1:30 pm PST, just a few hours after launch, Halo: Reach’s online unique user count had already completely eclipsed Halo 3’s total tally for the entirety of the week (09/13 through 09/20).
[*]To account for the same number of online players found in Halo: Reach during that same window (just six days), we had to run the numbers for Halo 3 going all the way back to 8/6/2010, encompassing a full 45 days of Halo 3 play!
[*]Ultimately, Halo: Reach’s online population for the first week dwarfed Halo 3’s by comparison, snagging four times the number of total unique users and decimating Halo 3’s all time high of concurrent users by more than 65%.
[/LIST]
And here are some more Halo: Reach specific numbers from week-one that are just all kinds of kick ass in their own right:
[LIST]
[*]70 Million+ Games have been played
[*]235 Million+ Player-Games have been played
[*]2 Million+ Files have been uploaded to File Shares
[*]5,901 man-years have been spent in online Reach games (sorry, Corporate America!)
[*]20 Million Daily challenges have been completed
[*]709,840 Weekly challenges have been completed
[*]165 Billion Credits have been earned

Bungie Pro/capture cards.

Eh, that's pretty fucking stupid, why not just disable AAs completely.
I'm watching the Package at the moment (Halo Legends) and I'm not really liking all the dramatic shooting, music and one liners (Dr Halsey, etc.). Also why does Dr. Halsey look like she's 20 or something? She was born in 2492 and her capture in the Package according to Halopedia was in 2544, so 2544-2492 = 52.
Why does a 52 year old Halsey look like a 20 year old / teenager?
When I try to upload a screenshot to my fileshare, it says: You need either Xbox live gold or bungie pro to do this.
I have xbox live gold...

Cop out answer:
Humans live longer 500 years in the future and age slower, plus she's spent a lot of time in cryo-sleep.
More realistic answer:
It's anime.

Is your fileshare full? It would explain the latter part of the error.
The Xbox Live bit might just be a part of the same error.

I get the anime part (well actually it's not anime, the package is CGI), and I forgot that the life expectancy for humans life expectancy is greater. Although it's not canon at all how about 8 years later or whenever in Reach when she's 60 I think, she has aged alot. Or do those effects of cryo-sleep wear off in some sort of acceleratied aging?
I dunno, just seems weird to me.
Add me people, i'm already sick of constant rounds of sniper wars against freakishly accurate nerds. I want to get my infection on.

We agreed on a two week period with spoiler tags, I'm going by that.
I remember no such agreement. I remember you declaring we agreed to it but I don't remember an actual agreement.
Just stick with spoiler tags. It's not like it's much of a hassle to do, anyway.
anyone else feel the visor colors are a mite bit expensive?

They should have added the visor colors Noble Team uses. I mean, Jorge has a Red visor, and Emile has a pink-ish one. No good reason to not include those.

They already allow you to look very close to Emile, Carter, Kat, and Jun. Might as well allow you to get similar visor colors and other accessories.
