I looked and didn't find a Halo Reach topic so i thought I'd make it
any one pre-order reach?
I got the limited edition :3 ( cudint afford legendary ) :(
-
I'm not that excited about it, I'll be an offline participant with the game. Xbox Live really hasn't been that enjoyable, though in privacy it's probably fun.
-
But... isn't one of the few reasons Halo is good is because of the online component?
-
Not to me at least. I will play on Xbox Connect though if someone is ambitious enough to play with me XD
-
the halo reach matchmaking is going to be better, with more sensitive searching to your wants. say you wont to play with people that talk allot or are more serious you can set your preferences to whatever you like.
-
Preordered legendary edition.
Doesn't really matter. I just want the game. The only thing I regret doing is learning nearly everything about it before it gets released.
Anyway, you are correct! the matchmaking is far better!
Don't get me started on the new forge and firefight :P
-
I only ever buy the Bungie games ahead of time unless it actually comes with someone useful ingame and not gimmicky. And even then someone usually sells the pre-order xbox live codes on ebay and then I just buy it that way and save about anywhere from $10 and above like with the Sgt. Johnson add-on character from ODST. I still wish Halo kept all the fun glitches and Easter eggs out-of-level like In Halo 2 where there were literally at least 100 different secrets, and since #2 I just have not seen that inspiration to really play the Halo series as intently as i used to. Speaking of secrets, has anyone else read about how hackers got the Halo Reach code off the xbox.com website and actually have distributed it across some bittorrent websites and that cutscenes and even the legendary ending itself were leaked onto YouTube until Microsoft Corporation got wind of it and removed the videos from YouTube under a copyright claim?
-
I really just ordered the legenday edition cause I really want one of those noble team statues. They look so awesome!
-
I wish i got the noble teem statues but i have a frend that lives near by lag got legondary i'll just look at his statue.
-
*Gawks at Buddywolf's new name* C-C-Coleo?
Also, the commercials for Reach are AWESOME
-
I regret looking up halo reach to much. I bet I know the whole game already :'(
And yes dat, I am and have been part of teh coleo's sense...creven had his furst name I believe. came right after leo I believe.
I memorized the halo reach commercials. I feel like I have no life. Its a good feeling :P
-
The day is coming fast. I am excited.
-
I'm REALLY anticipating this game. Sad that this is Bungie's last title before passing it on though.
-
Ugh, Halo has gotten so over-rated. It's starting to remind me of a watered down Unreal Tournament. v.v But then again, that's a lot of FPS games it seems.
-
As long as they don't overhype like they did with....
--remembers the article he found for TTR about Reach having MS' biggest marketing budget ever--
.... Never mind.
That said, I reviewed the Beta and found out as much as I could about differences between Reach and 3/ODST. It's looking like a decent addition to the series. I know I'll buy it. Tesco have it cheapest right now over here, and I get half price from the manager. Seeing as I'm taller than her, and have embarassing baby photo's that her minions would love :P
-
ooo black mail for a discount.
Ive learned too much bout reach. I already know all 50 achievements...or was it 49...its in that range.
The beta alone had 29.43 years of game play played in about a month.
err something near that number.
-
Beta Stats, anyone?
16 Million Hours - Combined Gameplay
1.4 Million - Screenshots and Videos uploaded
1.3 Terrabytes - Amount of uplaod data for said Screenshots and Videos
1.1 Billion - Kills during beta
198 Hours - The most time spent playing by a single player
12 Hours - The time said player spent playing the beta a day
142,657,966 - Kills with a magnum
127,822,409 - Kills with a DMR
49,341,380 - Kills with a Needler Rifle
8,927,112 - Kills with the Flag
360,245 - Total forum topics created in the Halo: Reach Beta forum at Bungie.net
...Whoa.
-
Hardy har har. This just keeps getting better and better :P
-
How can you have 360,000 forum topics about a beta?
-
Many of those are probably: introductions, "I can't wait for this game", flames, spam, trolling, glitches, the leaked legendary ending on YouTube, "there needs to be another halo game" etc etc.
-
I guess a lot of people don't understand that it's a prologue. v.v
-
They changed how powerful Spartans and elites are too
-
yea elites are bigger but also faster, and uther stuff
-
They are yes but they changed it more after the beta cause the elites rarely lost in the beta
-
I can't wait for Halo Reach, I used to love Halo 3 (Campaign completed over 20+ times, Legendary Solo and Coop) And I have over 6000 Halo 3 online games logged, I was at Semi-Pro Level until I stopped playing because of College.
But I'm making a comeback when Halo Reach is distributed, watch out ;) Haha :P
-
I shall defeat you in halo reach. but first, I must continue an epic forge on halo 3. SIX MORE DAYS TILL REACH! (counting today)
-
Wait, they made Elites easier to kill?! Aren't they "Elite" for a reason? That would be like making it easier to kill god-mode AI in Unreal, or making Veteran mode easier in CoD o.O
-
Just a tad easier so they aren't like gods. they are still bigger and a little stronger.
Oh and my friends friend already got reach. I was all like No way. He has the achievements to prove it.
-
I pre-ordered the Legendary Edition. Comes out next week! :D
-
3 more days :D
-
Day before my birthday! Perfect timing!
-
:o seriously good timing...happy birthday Akula
-
Thanks Buddy! *hugs*
-
no problamo *hugs back*
2 more days till reach
-
Ahhhhhh 2 more days!!!
*bounces up and down*
-
So close and yet so far
-
Time won't go faster!!
-
it will if you sleep through it then forge world will be in your paws faster than...I dunno...
-
Faster than a barefoot jackrabbit on a hot greasy griddle in the middle of August!
-
that works
-
The only bad thing is that it's on a tuesday. >:(
-
anticipation to grate, gana... gana... BOOM!! lol
-
Tuesday is on the 14th. 7 is bungies favorite number. Reach is the best game bungie ever made so they increased it by 7 to make it 14. Tuesday just happened to be the day. ^_^ I am not complaining cause I want the game so bad.
-
Why is Bungie so into the number 7?
-
That my furend is a long LONG story that only thee Marty O' Donnal can explain.
-
Guess I'll have to make time to hear it.
-
I shall see if I can find the story for you on bungie.net. I hope you have time to read like...a 7 page word doc on why bungie is into the number 7
-
I didn't realize it was that significant.
-
well...its just there theme I guess...I dunno. Doesn't matter cause reach is released the day after tomorrow!
-
Remember Reach!!
I actually read The Fall of Reach book. Very cool.
-
best book of them all in my opinion...or was it the Cole protical? I cant remember
-
I still have to read all the rest of them. I have all of them, but haven't had time to read them.
-
Half my school was gone yesterday since Halo: Reach came out. I wish I could get it sooner than Christmas. :(
-
Reach is amazing! If you ever get a chance before Christmas, take that chance! you wont regret it
-
why does school have to get in the way of my Reach time?
-
I found a little easter egg in REACH, there was a food advertisement showing "MOA BURGER" lol it was priced at $7.77 ^_^
-
I saw that and Akula, I ask teh same question.
8 more achievements for me to achieve
-
I'm just excited to be killing Elites again
it was way too easy having them as friends
now it's back the good ol days of Halo one CE and Halo 2 when i first played them
-
yeah but 5 times harder! 5 times the challenge, 5 times the fun
-
I shall see if I can find the story for you on bungie.net. I hope you have time to read like...a 7 page word doc on why bungie is into the number 7
Bungie is going to take over the world
I read online on how they're going to do it
and they have LuLu's severed head
and no
Nothing beats Halo 1 and Halo 2 Elites
both were da shizz
but i dont have Reach so i could be wrong
-
The halo reach elites looks so friggin awesome! but they are so over powered on legendary.
EX:
Elite general takes 4 head shots with a sniper rifle to kill.
One hunter takes more than a rocket launcher to kill
-
Buddywolf
Keep it in your pants and stop ruining things
-
m not ruining things. that's nuthin bout teh story line.
-
You ruined the Elite General and Hunter for me
-
That doesnt really ruin the story
-
OI PANTS
KEEP IT IN THERE
-
well now shouldn't have read muh words.
and I should have said spoiler warning below. sorry
I could tell you the entire story line :P
-
Well please don't tell
-
Im not. I wouldn't do such a thing. I would answer specific questions or talk bout status. that's pretty much it.
-
Thank you ^_^
-
welcome.
But no, I seriously would never tell the story to someone who has not played reach...or any game for that matter. Tiz not me.
-
I love the story, but I have one question
SPOILER ALLERT!!!! do NOT read if you don't want to
[(after loan wolf durinig the last film clip, what is that ship in the background? looks fore runner to me)]
-
@wastelander16 Not sure. I didn't see a ship.
I agree with darkness kinda. halo 3 matchmaking was ok but really laggy and I for one did not enjoy it. Halo 2 was just awesome.
-
Kinda late on this but I bought the legendary (left over college money ftw)
I am currently a major in it, mostly from playing online. I personally like the way you can customize your character a bit more than previously.
-
^ I got Legendary too. I have to play it more cause there's a helmet a want to get.
-
Got legendary too. if I would get off of forge, I could be at the current cap to the ranking system.
-
Welp, I should finally have my copy in the morning. Just a bog-standard edition, but I'll have some fun with friends. We're thinking of making a low-grav, invincibility map with hammers. We calls it: Super Spartan Brothers: Maul!
-
That sound awesome!
-
That sound awesome!
I'll let ya know if it's as awesome as it sounds :P
-
if you has xbox lives id like to play wif yea
-
@ BuddyWolf
I got Live, Wastelander16 :) add me if you like and any other Halo fans
-
muh whole list are halo fans but none of them are as hard core as I am. also, 70% of them are furs. I never imagined so many furs on xbl. ill add you
EDIT: it says you dunt exists
-
Alright guys, I'm going to be renewing my Xbox Live subscription as my new 4G internet source has proved to be MORE than satisfactory for being wireless, I'll be returning to the online scene very soon. Here's my new score on Speedtest.net
(http://www.speedtest.net/result/980229980.png) (http://www.speedtest.net)
My old score was about:
0.51Mb/s DOWNLOAD
0.10Mb/s UPLOAD
Let Halo Reach begin after laptop repairs are paid for!
-
I got Reach but I really can't get into it. I'm willing for co-op and such, but don't expect me to jump at the chance...
I like the firefights though. They've improved massively.
-
@ buddy wolf
try puting a space between Wastelander and 16, hope it works
-
Oki.
I shall
-
I has limited edition.. and i play as an elite
