Halo Reach Thread


Recommended Posts

Good news to ya'll hating on SWAT. It's got it's on Playlist come the October update. Bungie's weekly update describe all of the changes. I listed 'em below for those to lazy to click and read.

"Added ?Return to Battlefield? volume to Space on Zealot in the Arena Playlist"

For those who aren't aware, a popular strategy (especially doubles) is to camp up high. You can watch all three lifts and just focus fire (plenty of cover up there if you are getting shot) the enemy as they come up. Glad to see they came up with a solution to this.

And it seems Bungie purposely inadvertently announced/confirmed DLC for Reach.

Thanks for posting that link. I got a lot of information out of it. (Y)

Nice to hear that the playlists are being tweaked. Hopefully it'll be a little easier to enter Team Slayer without ending up on Snipers half of the time. At least, that's how I interpreted the "rebalanced to highlight default Slayer game variants" line. I'm also happy to see that King of the Hill and Rocket Race are being brought back. Within my group of friends, those are two of our favourite modes from Halo 3 (especially King of the Hill, whereas Rocket Race is fun once in a while). King of the Hill won't be the same without The Pit or Epitaph/Epilogue, but I'm sure I can bring myself to appreciate the new maps :).

As for Juggernaut, I definitely agree with what Razorwing said: the betrayal system makes it difficult to enjoy in most circumstances. Back in Halo 3 I had multiple instances of getting booted when I was one kill away from victory.

Had my first run in with the Betrayal system last night. It's like people don't even think it through, some guy popped out of a doorway as I was walking up to it whilst playing infection (We were both infected) so naturally my itchy trigger finger flinched and BETRAYAL!! I was booted out of the game within 2 seconds.

Great game. But I hope they fix the times between online matches, it kills the mood if you've just had a quality match so everyone sticks around for the next one. But then because it takes so long people begin to drop out one by one

Had My first run in as well. Fired four shots from a plasma cannon to take out a Ghost. Guy on my team runs up to the Ghost just as they are about to hit it and take him out instead.

Got booted straight away.

I don't know what all the hate for SWAT is about. I like how the games are more intense because you can die quicker than on another game type.

Weren't there a lot of people in this thread complaining about how long it took to take someone down, and how they couldn't take on 2 or more enemies at once? Or how they wished it was more like CoD, where it didn't take a full clip and a melee strike to kill someone? Now there seems to be just as many people who are complaining in the exact opposite spectrum. :wacko:

I think its more about how often SWAT is chosen during the voting. I enjoy swat, but when you're on the 5th straight game of it, it can get tedious. But that will be sorted soon when it gets its own lobby

I think the biggest issue is that you can't veto anything. There is never a situation where I will vote for Sniper so why even bother showing it to me when I'll just be tempted to leave if it comes up, ruining the game for everyone else? There are plenty of people who do want to play it so I don't understand why it's being forced on people.

That doesn't even start on why it, DMR and SWAT are clumped up with Slayer (aka. standard team deathmatch). All these custom games should be in their own categories.

There's nothing wrong with SWAT. But, if I wanted to play Call of Duty, I'd play Call of Duty. I enjoy playing SWAT every now and then, but not every single time it comes up.

SWAT or Team Slayer for 90% of the Big Team Battle games I've played recently. I want to have some variety please.

Missing Head Hunter and Territories.

The worst modes in BTB are Snipers and 1 Flag CTF. I just get angry when playing those modes.

Myself and Razorwing are scheduled to play some kind of MP later on tonight, around 8 PM EST (which is in about 4.5 hours) until about 10PM, possibly a bit later. Not fully sure if we are going to be doing just MP or CoOp, this is literally my first time being able to play any MP at all so I am pretty open to either. So I am just mentioning it in case anyone wants to join us, post here and I will check the thread before we hop on. (Y) And I am gonna try to get on a little earlier than 8PM, just not sure I will.

I just played a quick campaign level with him, but if I get time I may join you guys in multiplayer.
