Building a half-decent map in Forge. Too bad there was no custom game finder so that making a map might be worth it to someone who isn't godly at making maps.

Almost all FFA achievements.

AKA, all MM achievements.

Reach rewards losing, so I can understand why you look forward to it.


No, it doesn't, you are just being an arrogant prick.


You gain EXP or whatever credits, even if you lose.

id like to get a 50 but with the way ive been playing lately id be happy to get a brigadier

  • 08.08.2010 9:23 AM PDT

That REALLY doesn't mean what you think it means.

Hmm getting 40 for one, I've been on 38 Lately I just can't level up any more in lone wolves it seems, people I go against are what I call frag grenade legends, frag and boom head-shot with BR. Constantly. Also getting recon. And a splatter spree on a legendary map! Goodness BTB and ghost on avalanche always get 4 then someone with splaser or invisible with rocket. Ugh. And I like everyone elses goals too. Hmm, Getting a killionare, so far all I have is 2 killimanjaros. I finally got an extermination so that's checked off. Playing bungie member. I think I've played with one before but as soon as the game started he/she left. Becoming a BTB general. :) Getting to 50 by true skill. Making more forge maps, my favorite map in this whole game has gotta be sandtrap by far, especially sandtrap heavy. Also getting one single infection game out of all the rumble pit I've done so I can have some medals in my service record. Posting more on Bungie.net. (In Progress) And wishing GOOD people would party up with me in BTB. In other playlist generals and such always party up, but in BTB always corporals and such party up, I know they can actually be good players just they only just started, but usually they are complete, hmm, better way of saying it, very inexperienced. Always, wishing people would stop quitting games to lose xp until they are 0 and have like 35 skill to make themselves look cool or something, I think that's like a complete waste of all your time getting that xp. Maybe I'll think or more later, but those are mine for now.

45 in LW im tired of being 44

  • 08.08.2010 10:01 AM PDT

ROTATION! ohhhhhhh

I already made my initial goal of becoming a Brigadier General, now all that's left for me to do is get my Rumble Pit playlist General before Reach comes out.

  • 08.08.2010 10:10 AM PDT

I hate being a fricken n00b and unable to go higher than 42.

I get what you're saying, maybe I can't understand it completely because I'm not in your shoes but I can definitely see where you're coming from. But isn't this the way a ranking system is supposed to be? Its supposed to show who's "good" and who isn't.

Yes but the problem witth Halo 3's is that there is no incentive to even try. "Getting better" is just impossible. I can't "Get better". I'm stuck at my rank, and will never get a 50. Might go up or down some ranks here and there, but I will never achieve a 50. How discouraging is that?

More people are in favor of the Reach system because it gives everyone something to work for regardless of their rank, as opposed to this system where once you get a 50 you either play on that 50 or go after more 50s and that's better for the majority, but what incentive is there for people who play this game for rank and want some kind of concrete indication of their skill? I'm not one of those people but its one of the major concerns they have, that and the fact that rating people based on stats is just ridiculous.
Well see this is what the Arena is supposed to be doing: filling that competitive role. The method for doing so may be wrong (or maybe there is something you players aren't understanding-- whatever the scenario, that isn't my point). For those of you who are super competitive, Arena is for you.

You are absolutely right about why people like the Reach ranking system, because it gives a sense of progression and accomplishment that the Halo 3 ranking system never could, and then Arena (theoretically) rates even more skillfully than Halo 3 ever could by refreshing states each season, checking to see who is consistently good. So if you have 2 people who have played Arena for the same amount of time and one person made the top percentile in Onyx 5 times and the other guy only once, you can then determine who is the more skillful.

So Reach essentially kills 2 birds with one stone. Now as far as the method of rating players, I already understand the flaw, and I know Bungie does too (they have been listening to player feedback, believe it or not). If they have been ignoring it and telling you countless times not to worry, I personally wouldn't worry about it. The beta, if anything, helped them solve any problems they might have had. But I won't try and sway your opinion on the method of rating at this time because i don't everything about it and it isn't the main point of my post anyways.

Get a 5 star general overall. Still about 1500 exp away so, aside from a miracle, there's not much of a chance.

Yes, but sweet FA compared to what you get if you win, apart from in the Arena where if you lose you get nothing.

Sounds like you wish you were him.

My original point with what I said and the additional "derp" is that Reach is much more casual. I am well aware of Arena...but I am still very skeptical of the bloom functionality and overall gameplay. It will be interesting to see what MLG can do to fix the game.

I just said MLG and implied that I do not like Reach. I will probably get flamed now...

All you can come up with as a response? Just repeat what I said but reverse the person it is aimed at? Fail attempt.
