I'm sure you all are too cool to play Halo, but for those who aren't...

I just pre-ordered it online from Best Buy and will pick it up after work Tuesday.  They throw in a $20 gift card that I'll end up using on the next game.

Halo: Reach Multiplayer Match on Reflection (Ivory Tower!) (Gameplay)  Ivory Tower!

Halo: Reach Multiplayer Match on Zealot (Gameplay)  Midship!

Halo: Reach Gameplay - Team Slayer on Ascension  Ascension!

Downloaded or did some retail copies make it into public?

You still offline?

It got a 94/100 on metacritic (average of all the big name critics).

[jagojon3]

Downloaded. Don't play on live

The game is very awesome

Same here. I bought ODST and i think that was all hype and a waste of time.

i like halo, and enjoy any incarnation of it.  ill be picking this up.

[jay]

ive been playing halo 1 for the past week or so

but yeah that video just pisses me off rocket launcing noobs.. kill stealing faggotry... bunny hopping faggotry so whats changed? being able to sprint and hearing your guy pant like a pussy?

fuck that also sniper zoom looks homo and whats with the fatality animation thats pretty fucking retarded and the dudes powering up? what the fuck this isnt dbz.. rofl

[90boostdaccord]

for sure.  at some point

[Jorsher]

lol, I love faggots that whine about "kill stealing."

So you walk into your teammate having a little battle with the enemy.  Do you stand there and look stupid or shoot at the enemy?

Shoot the enemy and some little bitch cries that you stole his kill.  He hardly gets any kills and the final kill spread is his only means of conveyance.  Don't shoot the enemy and the same little bitch cries that you let him die.  "Kill stealing" happens on every FPS so I don't see what the big deal is.  Quit being a whiny bitch.

Rocket launchers?  They have 2 rounds before you spend a minute reloading, leaving you wide open for dying or forcing you to switch to something else.  If you can't dodge them, you suck.  A well-placed 'nade and round to the head is enough to stop any rocket-launcher wielding fool.  You're right, it's a noob weapon, and you fail if you lose to one.

Tell me what's different about all these COD/BF/MOH games?  Abso-fucking-lutely nothing.  Don't get me wrong, I like them all, and have them all, but there has been no revolutionary feature.  It's all the same shit, set in slightly different time periods, with a tweak here and there.

That's not powering up   It's an additional "strategy" where you can not get hit/killed but at the same time you're stationary.  If you're lucky or have a good team a teammate will finish the enemy off, otherwise when you're mobile again you're most likely going to die.  In case you missed it, it's a sci-fi game and thus there will be some unrealistic stuff.  It adds another dimension to strategy, much like calling an air strike or whatever on whatever game you play.

I know Halo hate is cool and all (I was expecting these replies), fanboys are pretty homo, sir.  Someone whining about how [insert game here] is the best game evar (!!!) and how [insert game here] sucks ass is an annoying bitch, no matter what game they're talking about.  If you don't like it, good, this thread isn't for you.  Just as many people have bought Halo games over the years as people have COD (despite it being "the same thing" over and fucking over), if not more.  It sure does have a lot of people buying it and giving good reviews for such a shitty game.  Must be a conspiracy?

ODST -- never played it although I have it.  All the reviewers have pretty much agreed ODST wasn't that great, and Halo Reach is the best Halo so far...

Finally watched a firefight video.  Looks fun.

Overhyped?  Yes.  Good?  Yes.

[colin]

I'm honestly thinking about picking up a 360 for this game... I miss Halo drunk fests in the dorms.

kill stealing = aiming at enemy but not pulling the trigger till last second to steal the kill..
i dont mean both you and your ally shooting at an enemy... if you have your back turned shooting at someone else you wont see a rocket coming up behind you

as far as the powerup thats pretty homo

i mean adding boost to the ghost in halo 2 or adding melee of vehicles is one thing those are improvements....

but a power up where you stand still and become immune to enemy fire is retarded

im a bf2 fanboy.. i play project reality mod 24/7 but i dont mind halo..

im always looking for the next best game but i wont move onto a different game unless it blows me away...

i downloaded americas army 3 just now and that game fucking sucks

i dont see what anyone would like about cod4 that game is the biggest piece of shit ever

[Jorsher]

I still don't see the point of whining about someone getting a kill, whether they get it at the last minute or not.  I guess I just don't care enough.  Either way you get points/credits/medals for "assists" now anyway.

The "armor lock" as it's called isn't something that gives you an unfair advantage.  If someone's trying to run your ass over you can use it to fuck em up.  If someone's shooting at you and you use it, they'll simply wait until it runs out (it only lasts a few seconds) and finish you off.  I don't see it being any more retarded then calling air strikes or sending dogs or whatever.

Anyway, played it a bit yesterday.

Campaign is fun, but I was mostly interested in the multiplayer.  I like that instead of searching for new people every game it automatically rematches you and only searches if someone leaves, making matchmaking a bit quicker.  There were about 700,000 online simultaneously yesterday so that helped.  Being able to vote on one of 3 matches is nice too...

The daily/weekly challenges that Bungie puts out for credits are pretty cool.  I got the "get 75 kills in multiplayer matchmaking" yesterday in my first 4 slayer games   Firefight is fucking fun.  Rocketfight + jetpacks or sniperfight is a lot of fun.  Looking forward to playing more when I get home...

Got it and played it last night, best Halo by far. Aren't you on my friends list Jorsher?

I'm not sure.  I don't know who 90% of my list is.

I'm Jorsher on XBL.

Best Halo by far, for sure.  Nothing revolutionary but everything is improved.

I pwn noobs for a living

[RotaryGeek]

Lol i turned on the xbox just in time to watch the last couple seconds of the countdown on the xbox live dashboard. Once it hit zero it just started over at 23 hours again. I don't think ill be getting this game, not much for futuristic stuff, im more of a MW2 guy.

[glustic]

When I logged in last night there was 500,000 + players online already. That made micro$oft over 30 million dollars......

Highest I saw it was 680,000+ after work.  I'm expecting to see 1,000,000+ online simultaneously within a week or two.  Bungie will have a nice Christmas.  I noticed there was a much lower douchbag ratio than the others, although I'm sure it'll change.  Out of probably 30+ games played yesterday, only one had someone talking smack, and he was promptly shut up.

[glustic]

Any way you look at it Micro$oft is making shit loads of money.

And yes there I have not came across any annoying kids yet. And of course that will change. That is why they invented muting.

[90boostdaccord]

most of the annoying kids are now grown the fuck up.  like me, even though I still wasn't a little kid before, just loved to shit talk

[Jorsher]

That's true but there are always new little shits to fill their shoes.  I was playing Halo 3 as late as a week or two ago, and compared to my experience on Halo Reach last night there were a shitton more kids on Halo 3 than Reach, for now.

Mute does work but I get annoyed having to go through the menus.  Usually just go to private chat with my party.

The hologram thing is a pretty neat idea.  I haven't played any rocket slayer matches yet, but I can see them being extremely useful for wasting opponents ammo.

I'll add ya when I get home glustic.  Maybe we can party on multiplayer.

[sewell94]

Its more of the same old thing, just a little better. After the 20 bucks back, it's alot of entertainment for the money.

My hooked up net is down

I'll most likely be on, and most likely intoxicated.

Just read that Halo Reach has an "auto mute" feature, where if you're matched with someone that has been muted by a lot of other players, they are muted by default   I was worried about that being a problem when my whole team is muted that may have something useful to say, but they're giving a notification and warning before being auto muted.

Thank god.
