Duff Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I got my 22" television today! Excited to play Halo: Reach on it. Oh, and while I'm on that note, I'm super glad I kept the packaging and box for my xbox360. I can easily slip it back in there with all the chords for safe transport to college. :thumbup: | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdoziz Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It's a good day to be a Halo fan. God, HaloFest is awesome. Prisoner, Headlong and Timberland confirmed as multiplayer maps.Installation 04 firefight map which is one of the bases on the level Halo.Title Update details including bloom reduction, armor lock and active camo nerf and no more sword block. The Halo Universe panel was spectacular with appearances of the voice actors of Cortana, Master Chief, Guilty Spark and Captain Keyes. Many laughs were had. I love 343 more then ever. <3: You can check this thread for all the info:http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=442482 Or this site: http://www.forwarduntodawn.com/halofest-summary-hub/ Click here to check out my Youtube channel!

Duff Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Watching the flythroughs. I have a lot to catch up on. And Over, get that 2.0 k/d already. :P EDIT: I totally remember playing the original Ridgeline on the PC, haha. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdoziz Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It's hard getting a higher K/D if you've already gotten 55,000 kills, haha. Slowly working my way towards it. Click here to check out my Youtube channel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K112 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Title Update details including bloom reduction, armor lock and active camo nerf and no more sword block. Bloom Reduction - I'm against this on principal.Armour Lock - Needs a bit of a nerf but I still enjoy itActive Camo - Same as aboveSword block nerf - Strongly disagree with this.

Overdoziz Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Sword block is too random as it is right now. I can never tell when I'm going to pull it off. Every time I do pull it off it's a total surprise. That alone makes it a dumb mechanic. Sword block is fine if it's only sword on sword because that works way more consistent.

It's so frustrating when you're on a nice streak, then some guy that otherwise would have died survives and gets your sword. Especially annoying when you're on a multi-kill and someone somehow blocks a white hot plasma sword with their wrist. By that logic, shouldn't we be able to block shotgun blasts? Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.-Random Youtuber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdoziz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 And as the person with the sword you hardly ever expect the opponent to block you. With sword on sword it's obvious that the opponent is able to block you and it's way better communicated. I've had numerous times that I hit someone with the sword and walked away again thinking he was dead only to fin out that he apparently blocked me. Click here to check out my Youtube channel!

Duff Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yah, cause if someone sword blocks, they get shoved back out of range for a second lunge (except if they run into something like a wall), so they can back up and shoot you while your trying to get that damn reticle to show red again to kill them [again]. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Finally got to hooking my Xbox up to my Ethernet today. Had to go through an interesting process registering my MAC number. So, after classes tomorrow, I might hit up the Halo Matchmaking lobby. :thumbup: | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zierro Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I fancy the updates. Armor Lock could have been a decent aspect if it wasn't executed so horrendously. The sword block is too random and unfair. I never really saw a problem with Camo, unless the whole team was doing it. (But then any ability used effectively by an entire team can be a nightmare.) As for bloom, oh god yes. I understand that there will inevitably be some degree of luck involved with a competitive FPS, but bloom in Halo is just disgusting.

Aeon_ Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Wars is awesome when you've got a good strategy. Did a 3v3 without losing a single unit. :D Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt.

Duff Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What sensitivity do you all play on? If I'm wanting to play with an increased sensitivity, should I just gradually move up one by one every few weeks? | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I play on about 8. All comes down to personal preference really. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdoziz Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I play on 3. I'd rather be more consistent with my shots than being able to turn around quickly. But really, it's just what you're most comfortable with. Just a matter of trying out some sensitivities and see what works best. Click here to check out my Youtube channel!

Zierro Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What sensitivity do you all play on? If I'm wanting to play with an increased sensitivity, should I just gradually move up one by one every few weeks? A range of 3-7 depending on the dynamics of the match. (If the match is relying heavily on Shotgun, Sword, Hammer, Rockets, Grenades, and Assault then I'll have it at 7. If it's a DMR or Sniper match, then usually 4.)

Aeon_ Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I just have mine at 10. I guess I just prefer the ability to turn quickly. Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt.

All_Is_Great Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Just a quick question, is it still worth it to buy reach next month? I mean are there a lot of people playing it on Live? Will it die out when the new CoD comes out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
