[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;25007452] Skill (Not the actual name, I can't remember right now. It's for kills and medals) [/QUOTE] Performance?

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;25007505]Performance?[/QUOTE] That's it. Thanks.

[QUOTE=ZapDing;25007499]More just A because they knew they'd die.[/QUOTE] Not at the start, they didn't. That would demoralize anyone. They probably figured that they'd be sent on high-risk missions during their training, but by then they were pretty well indoctrinated.

So, if you were to put the games in order of time period would it be: 1. Reach 2. ODST 3. Halo 4. Halo 2 5. Halo 3 ?

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;25007485][sp]It's not them. The forest got glassed, even if they got away, they'd be dead. It's probably S3's from Gamma Company that were on Reach for whatever reason, given surplus MJOLNIR gear since the place was getting trashed anyway. [/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]I don't think it can be Gamma Company; they got deployment orders a few weeks AFTER Reach's fall. And even after that, only 3 squads from Gamma remained on Onyx.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Links;25007559][sp]I don't think it can be Gamma Company; they got deployment orders a few weeks AFTER Reach's fall. And even after that, only 3 squads from Gamma remained on Onyx.[/sp][/QUOTE] Shit, forgot about the timeline. Then I can't really say, they were probably Spartans pulled from different S3 companies or something. Most likely: Bungie disregarded book canon [i]again[/i] (it's their game, although I don't like it when they do that).

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24975847]Because it's always SWAT, DMRs, or team snipers in team slayer.[/QUOTE] I did notice that, I was thinking I was getting into straight Team Slayer, and instead I played quite a bit of Team Swat. So yeah, I see your point. [quote] following last resp. off the 'conversation' between these two guys[/quote] [QUOTE=Raidyr;24976316]A lot of "very popular" things are also really bad. Sorry, I am just frustrated that in a game with an already pathetically low skill cap I am forced to play Easy Mode because Xbox Live players think aiming is hard. But nice work putting words in my mouth. Let baddies have their Swat, just GTFO of my Slayer/BTB lobbies.[/QUOTE] I don't think I take Halo seriously enough to play on xbox live :(

Bungie's Reach Week 1 update is up on their site. Here's a little snippet of the numbers. [quote=Bungie] * 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[/quote] And the best part. [quote]To say we’re grateful for your continued support would be an understatement. [B]Our sources tell us that we’ve been the number one title on Xbox LIVE for the last seven days.[/B] You complete us.[/quote]

Anyone getting sick of Big Team Battle being on Forge World all the time? We need some better maps for it.

Is Spartan vs. Spartan Invasion possible?

Am I a bad person for wanting a Halo game more like ODST than Reach or 3?

I love Team SWAT and I love watching people rage about it constantly being picked in Slayer because they end up shite at it. Earlier I racked up 3 Triple Kills and an Overkill in one game on some folk whining about SWAT. [B]That said,[/B] I would love SWAT to have it's own Playlist so I can play it as much or as little as I want and not have to get it once very 3-4 games in Slayer.

Ex. being choosing chatty players and ending up getting in games where almost every single person is either in a party of doesn't have their headset plugged in, wtf.

[QUOTE=Agoat;25007870]Is Spartan vs. Spartan Invasion possible?[/QUOTE] Only if they had a "Defending Species" option, but they don't. Sadfaiz. and fuck guys help me test Holdout the Infection map Agoat and I made, I can't do it with one other person

[QUOTE=Killer900;25007987]It's not that I'm bad at it, it's just it's too easy.[/QUOTE] It is easy if you're good at 'snapping' onto peoples heads with the DMR but I like that you're as likely to die as you are to get a kill so it feels way more fast paced and intense than regular Slayer. I just love SWAT for some reason though, it's so fun and satisfying hearing that head popping sound.

I'd play SWAT all day if everyone had Birthday Party. [editline]01:00AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Cheryl Cole;25008132][sp]http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Lone_Wolf_%28level%29 Those are just random S3s.[/sp] [/QUOTE] We're trying to fit it in the canon.

[QUOTE=Agoat;25007870]Is Spartan vs. Spartan Invasion possible?[/QUOTE] Nope, unfortunately.

I wish Firefight rounds lasted longer, they are tough don't get me wrong but I wish they would last longer. Should be a last man standing type of thing.

I'd bet you that more than 75% of the people who played don't even know about the damn thing, which kind of defeats the purpose of even having it.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;25008289]Lol, SWAT is for kids who need to shoot first to win[/QUOTE] Naw SWAT is another playlist that might fit a certain players taste and what they enjoy. Each playlist doesn't define a certain type of player. Stop labelling, live and let live shut up

What happened to Generator Defense from the beta?

[QUOTE=o DefcoN o;25008496]What happened to Generator Defence from the beta?[/QUOTE]It's in Firefight, the reason it had its own playlist was for networking purposes, to see how well the game handled 3 v 3 with all that shit blowing up.

attn: if you wanna play a cool zombie forge world map on weekends, which does not involve lame bases but awesome vehicle escapes from super fast zombies, friend me mercury345

is there a better ending to the campaign? the goal is to survive in the lone wolf mission, but all the sudden, it showed a cutscene of me [sp]staggering around and trying to fight off a whole bunch of covenant and then i die.[/sp] is there a better end?
