Just a reminder... Classic maps beta starts tomorrow.

 

[Boom]

I'm so happy they're taking the sword cancellation out of Zombies.

Also, Zero Bloom Playlist = .

 

[Benstamania]

I hate jetpacks... What a bunch of chickens.

I wish their gun would shake or something if you shoot in flight.

 

[Boom]

All the jet pack does is ruin maps.

Seriously. Ramps are rendered useless. Grav-lifts are rendered useless. It's almost impossible to strategize and use the map to your team's advantage. There's no point in guarding the ramps/grav-lifts and defending the high-ground when all the enemy players have to do is just fly up.

 

[Benstamania]

Agreed.

 

[Boom]

Playing Squad Slayer is just a cluster****. You've got people flying around, people chucking grenades everywhere. It's a disaster. No strategy required whatsoever.

I like to think I'm pretty good, but even I admit that most of my kills in Squad Slayer are either a) pure luck or b) stolen from teammates. There's just nothing else I can do.

That's why I stick with the Classic Playlist nowadays.

 

[Benstamania]

I do NOT like Zero Bloom (the DMR is now just a friggin' high powered assault riffle) and the super pistol is ridiculous because it takes no skill to use and picking up any other weapon is pointless.

Not liking what you're doing to my Halo so far 343....

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Jet Packs are so easy to take out... just peg 'em outta the air - it's not like they can hide.

 

[Benstamania]

They tend to not STAY in the air while you shoot them. Goes back to my chicken thing.

Most annoying armor ability in Reach...

I think it's great, it's so much faster.

But it reminds me of why I never really liked playing Halo 3. It turns the DMR into the only gun worth using.

The best change though is to AL hahah FINALLY, I went up against a team of AL users and it was so nice being able to shoot them to drain the time.

 

[Dr Lee]

There's another Spielberg/Dreamworks movie rumour doing the works.... seems details in a French press pack for an upcoming novel mention something about a Halo movie next year...

Exactly, that's why I'm SO annoyed with it.

Keep Spielberg away from a Halo movie. The last thing we need to see in a Halo movie is Spielberg's love for kids with parental issues & not needed angst. That or both is in almost all of his movies & TV shows

Here's a new Halo: CEA Weapons Audio Comparison video.

[Boom]

So having played the Zero Bloom Playlist...

We have confirmation. I suck ass with the DMR.

 

[Boom]

I got my first Killionaire in Reach multiplayer last night .

Halo: CE Anniversary: Behind the Scenes on Campaign

[Boom]

The Master Chief model looks so much better now. Thank God.

 

[Nathan]

I would have liked it if they had used the Halo 3 design of Master Chief.

 

[Still Wynning]

I would have liked it if they had used the Halo 3 design of Master Chief.

Well, they wanted to be as close to the original Mark V model as possible while giving it a little more detail and bringing it a little up to date. They even say in the video that they tried using the Mark V model in Halo: Reach for Master Chief and it just didn't feel right.

 

[Nathan]

I agree that the Reach model wouldn't have felt right, but I think his Halo 3 design is better anyway.

 

[Benstamania]

Chief had a different set of armor in Halo 3.

 

[Nathan]

He actually never changes armors right? It just gets a re-design in each new game.

 

[Benstamania]

No, he upgrades his armor in Halo 2. Goes from Mark 5 to Mark 6.

 

[Nathan]

Oh, ok. Halo 2, the only game I haven't played yet. I assumed they just re-design it every time, because in the Halo 4 Trailer, his armor looked different from his Halo 3 armor.
