Subject: Bungie shouldn't have announced rewards for Reach

It's just another achievement [I know it isn't actually an achievement] to some people. They wanna collect them all.

Am i the only one who thinks that Bungie shouldn't have announced the rewards for Reach? And only given told us about it after the game got shut down?
Because now we have a bunch of people in here who are playin the game just for the sake of getting a reward, and not giving a damn about it being shut down.

Now when Reach rolls around, these noobs will be flaunting thier "Flair" that they got not for playing a couple of rounds before the game shut down. Instead of seeing Halo 2 through its final Big Bang before it shuts down for good, for sake of missing one of the greatest games ever.

Whats your problem? You act like most people that play halo havent played halo 2 I'm glad that bungie is giving away flair. You probably would complain regardless. You complain that people are on and I bet you would complain that people are not playing on the last day.


I don't have any issues with them giving away flair, read my post better.
What i do have a problem with, is that a ton of bandwagon people who left Halo for Gears/CoD/BFBC ect, are comming back to play and acting like real Halo fans because they heard they get some free stuff if they play an old game. And these are the same people that after a few months of Reach being out, will turn right around again and say "Halo sucks, lollolol" and run to another game.

I did read it well your mad that people that played Halo 2 and moved to Halo 3 are getting a prize for going back to Halo 2 to help celebrate the last day, but your mad that since you so called play it all the time don't get a more special reward? Why should you get one for supporting the old game and not the new. I moved to Halo 3 and played Halo 2 for way too long. I supported Halo 3 bought my Legendary edition. I helped pay for Halo:Reach I also have ODST and payed for all the maps in Halo 3. Your going to say I'm not a fan cause I didn't actively play Halo 2 up until now? Rubbish yeah I am celebrating the end of Halo 2 hopefully I teabag you before the end of the night.

I be trippin'.

I was planning on playing before they announced the new hotness, but the flair only made me not forget.

And besides, I'm still guessing that maybe 20% of the future Reach population will have played today, and all the people who did play just to get the flair are at least contributing to its memorial.

Lol.

If they are playing it they purchased the game years ago, so they are not "noobs", they are old Xbox 1 players and they deserve something for that.

That is not in ANY way what i said.
You sir, have failed to insult me, miserably I should add.

  • 04.14.2010 4:17 PM PDT

You gotta think though, most players dont even have the game, but for the people that do, that shows that people actually wanted to get it for the game. And besides no one is going to go buy halo 2 for one day just for the flair or whatever.

Meh, no point in sitting here arguing over this, it's already done, theres no changing it now.
May as well just go back and enjoy what time i have left with H2.

America!

Imagine you had one day to live, and you wanted to have a going away party of colossal proportions... so what you decided to do is put a humongous ad in a magazine that many of the people whose lives you touched read. the ad states: april 14 will be my last day on earth and i am having a going away party. if you come you can have a piece of candy and MAYBE get to talk to me. wouldent you want your party to have as many people as you could possibly obtain? so what if they just came for the candy or to MAYBE talk to you, so what if they go to different partys after you pass away, and so what if they are just pretending to be your friends. the point is that all your close friends had fun and had one of the most memorable nights of their lives. :)

  • 04.14.2010 4:34 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I don't really care. The more players experiencing the fun the better.

  • 04.14.2010 4:35 PM PDT

they should make you play for a sertan time like"3 hours to get it"

  • 04.14.2010 4:39 PM PDT

I know 5 of my friends asked to play halo 2 with me today just because of the rewards.

Everybody gets to pretend that they are true Halo devotees now. I say that if you have over 1000 games in Halo 2 you get some veterencey emblem or something. To the people who played on other accounts you should no benifit from this because you made other second accounts to get rid of your bad records in the first place. My Gamertag is my identity and has been on XBL for about half a decade and people like me should be rewareded.

Who gives a crap why other people are playing it. Just enjoy your last day of halo 2 online.

you cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail.

Got it? good.

does it really matter if a lot of ppl are playing? This is a GOOD thing. Halo 2 gets to end strong with a huge amount of players playing.

  • 04.14.2010 4:59 PM PDT

Such jealousy and greed am I right? People are playing halo 2 on the last day it's playable on xbox live. So we should just enjoy the day and the "visual flair" is just a lovely bonus for giving halo 2 a proper farewell.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is the message people are sending

"He has this pixel that I think only I should hazsauce cause I R true fanz"
"You should only get bonus pixels if u plays as hardcore as me on this day because everyone else shouldn't have jobs, kids, or other important matters to attend to; So them taking the time out of their day to play at least one match to say farewell isn't l337 enough to deserve pixelz only I should haz."
------------------------------------------------------------
Please stop and enjoy halo 2's last day online without all this jealousy over a visual flair. If it makes you feel any better I'm assuming under 50,000 people will get this flair.

Well if they aren't much of a Halo fan then they wouldnt be reading the weekly updates would they?


You don't nee dot read the updates to know about it.
The info gets passed around by word of mouth.
People who cared enough to read the updates tell their friends, they tell their friends ect..


And just so we can be clear here, Im not raging about the people who left the game and came back. Im not even complaining about people who moved on to Halo 3 like I, and most of you did.

What I AM complaining about is the people who left Halo, started trash talking it, and then came back when they heard about Reach, and are now only playing H2 for the sake of getting some extra armor/emblem/whatever we get for this.
We should be playing for the sake of seeing off what was one of the greatest shooters to ever grace the xbox, not stupid little rewards. Because I personally would be playing even if we didnt get rewards.

After Halo 3 came out, i still bounced back to Halo 2 every now and then to get a flashback. Only played it for a day, maybe more. But i still played for the sake of keeping one of my all time favorites alive.


I understand your point now, and I agree with you. The reward aside, I agree that it is -blam!- that people who don't give a crap about Halo and trash talk the general cannon of it shouldnt be rewarded for it. I do however think that people with amazing stats that show they have played along time should get extra rewards. I know it;s just material crap but those who have should be rewarded for there time.

Post to everyone who complains about Reach instead of shutting up and playing something else. http://initiativedesignz.webs.com/HaloReachStuff/Fixn.jpg

Its just not fair that it should even shutdown. H2 was the only good game on the original xbox (next to CE of course), and I don't get to even play it on its last day cuz some ass stole it & no one here is selling on it. T_T

You would think that after going back 9 days worth of pages, you would have found that answer.

I hope I'm considered a fan. Even though I don't meet everyone's criteria of 1,000 + games. I played and still play halo 2 because i realized the pure awesomeness of it. I've also just manged to secure a copy of Halo 2 vista off Amazon (on sale right now) and I hope everybody gets it so we can repopulate that game. It shouldn't be too hard to run on the computers everyone has nowadays.

P.S. Yes, my walls of incorrect grammar hurts your eyes.
