Just got a 'Be the Bullet' on Invasion and reached Colonel: Grade 1. So much fun with friends. :3 Before I'd get frustrated when I died but now I just ignore it and keep playing normally rather than staying annoyed.

I can't stand playing Halo Reach for Two Reasons.

 

The bloody turn around speed to fix graphics over gameplay it breaks every possible thing to do with the game.

 

 

Firefight BLOODY FIREFIGHT my favorite game mode being worse in Reach.

 

A lack of a good vehicle level.

 

BLOODY THIN-AIR SPAWNS.

 

Multiplayer levels not being possible Firefight levels seriously it's not that hard to add Firefight support since it's a campaign level. T_T

 

No Drones.

 

UNLIMITED AMMO RESERVES!!! It removes the fun of unique weaponry and lacks the possibility of grenades.

 

No Cloaked Pimp Brutes with Flame Grenades.

 

While you don't have to agree with all my biased points if you have played Odst Firefight would you agree that it was much more fun to play than Reach's.

[Overdoziz]

FireFight is fine. Go play ODST if you want invisible brutes killing you over and over and over again with fire grenades.

[K112]

I much prefer ODST firefight to be honest, although the fact it didn't have matchmaking support really got to me, considering I have maybe 2 xbox live friends who I talk to and neither would play firefight.

 

Not bothered about buggers in firefight, without the SMG they aren't worth fighting.

Thin air spaws can be toggled and all the online modes apart from Gruntcatropalypse use dropships anyway. Unlimited ammo I don't mind, it has to be there for the different classes you can play as really.

If it were a standard setup I think it'd make it too easy to have them.

 

Fire grenades and Spike grenades gone, I'm really not sure why. It's like bungie went backwards. Also no flamethrower :/

 

Invisible elites > Invisible brutes. And I like having elites with power armour and brute without, it means to have to approach them differently.

Seems like flame-based weapons were probably meant as anti-Flood. Though having fewer weapons just sorta doesn't make sense.

[Overdoziz]

As far as I know they removed both those grenades because it was too much of a hassle to switch between 4 types of greandes. And the flamethrower was never a useful or fun weapon anyway.

[Nexaduro]

Flamethrowers are always fun, if only by virtue of their nature. If it flames, it's fun.

62.5k out of 110k of Colonel: Grade 2.

You sir, have no soul.

[Overdoziz]

Tell me how many times you've used it in Halo 3.

[H2PM]

Tell me how many times you've used it in Halo 3.

Every time in the flood level. That thing was satisfying to use.

[Overdoziz]

On Flood, yes. But Reach has no flood. I doubt you'll be very successful trying to kill Covenant with it. ;)

[Nexaduro]

Would be amusing to kill suicide grunts like that, though.

 

They need an armour ability that detonates nearby dropped grenades. :rolleyes:

[Overdoziz]

Or an armor ability which shoots fire.

[K112]

Tell me how many times you've used it in Halo 3.

 

It's only on the map Construct, but I've used it a few times. Generally camping the main grav lift and taking n00bs out.

 

Lest ye forget there is no flood in ODST, but there is a flamethrower?

For an achievement, and on a level where it is extremely cold... so it is fitting. Honestly, the flamethrower just has too short of range to be useful in MP.

Very true, but it's still awesome.

[Ouchy]

Is Reach actually worth buying? A couple of my mates have said it's really average.

[H2PM]

It's alright. After a certain point in the Multiplayer its just grinding and grinding to get levels.

I got bored of it after a few weeks.

Rent it and you won't go wrong.

You play it for the levels?

 

That's just sad.

The gameplay itself gets boring after awhile. The levels are cool because of the customization. Give people something to work for in a game, and that becomes the reason to play. (see: The TF2 hats)

Dont be putting words into my mouth.

 

I never said that. To get the armor pieces, yes.(see Dizzle's post)

[Overdoziz]

You say it's grinding to get levels. Heavily implying that you play to get to the next level (or the rewards resulting). If you weren't playing for the credits it wouldn't be a grind.
