i have the same problem, so i go play score attack, shooting grunts in the face is fun, wait, now i wont be getting a measly 90-something credits becaue of why?? oh yea. you want me to become ano life and play matchmaking for 15 minutews a match and possibly get lagged out and banned or get my ass handed to me by idiot 5 year olds who play halo all day everyday.

please dont do anything to score attack. its the one game mode i can stil play.. sure, i get around 900 credits each match. whoopdy -blam-ing do! it still takes for -blam-ing ever to rank three times to unlock anything.... i honestly dont know what ill have if you screw with grunt-pocalypse.......

on the more cR thing, exactly. they want us to rank three times before we get something new. bs. it takes an average of 30 gruntpocolypse games to rank ONCE, and theryre taking that away too..... can wait to shoot this disk full of holes...

My receiver does not have a setting for Dolby Digital. All I have is Dolby Pro-Logic II. Everything works fine until the hunter roars. I don't hear it. As far as I am aware the sub woofer works fine, it is playing sound, just quietly. My connections are fine and the woofer is set to max. Is this related to my lack of Dolby Digital?

  • 10.01.2010 10:23 PM PDT

man u guys should stop talking about gruntpocalypse i admit its fun and its a easy way to get credits but common the game isnt about ranking up or atleast not totally just play and enjoy the game if gruntpocolypse is ur thing so be it play for fun not credits there is also rumble pit i personally love arena but theres plenty to do and if you want dont play it if it is that much of a burden to you...

  • 10.01.2010 11:03 PM PDT

LOL i have no clue what the hell Gruntpocalypse is lol I got to my rank due to sucking and not having a job sigh..since I'm here I wouldn't mind my rank being reduced...I'm horrible, but still playing and Learning!...I'M GETTING use to the DMR but it's still a bit difficult :(

I am a very pestamistic person. I see the glass half empty, even when it's full. Dont expect much from me.

And the banhammer cracks down on the abusers like a fat man at thanksgiving does to a turkey. Campaign matchmaking come to me!

BUNGIE, please lift the level cap, if my credits and commendations don't even count, and carry over once you finally lift the cap. I will be so blam! mad you are screwing over people the most dedicated to your game, you have the daily CR cap that is ENOUGH Moderation. Please let us rank it's tiring not making any progress. You make us hate your game, alot of people are majors, and captains they have caught up LIFT THE CAP! If you don't lift it the first update a lot of people will move on from HALO REACH.

I would love to understand the reasoning behind removing slayer pro. it seems almost idiotic to take it out.

  • 10.01.2010 11:26 PM PDT

so no word on making an infection playlist yet? or do we have to make alot of awsome infection maps on forge world before theres any word on making a playlist for it?

  • 10.01.2010 11:44 PM PDT

can we get an mlg playlist already? That's about the only thing that will make this game semi-bearable.

  • 10.02.2010 12:13 AM PDT

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but I had the disc read error. I actually found that it was the result of a bad install to my hard drive as it only started after I had installed it. Once I removed the install it worked just fine. .. Slower load times, but slow is better than none at all.

Extremely hypocritical to ban people for using the Locater how it was intended to be used.)

That is definetly not hypocritical.Bungie put it there as a easter egg for people that searched around the map and rewarded them with easy access to the next section of the level.

Now, finding a glitch thats allows people to find a way to climb up the credit, its not cheating but restarting checkpoints is not what bungie had in mind when they put the target locator there.

When will the level cap be raised? Tuesday? later in october? im a lt. colonel grade 2 right now about to be grade 3. Im looking forward to more armor. But other than that great update. No more instant kicks for accidental betrayals!!! yay!1

Audio guys still not adressing the extemely low volume of some firefight voices?

WAKE UP MARTY!!!

Tank Beats Everything!

It's fun watching everyone whine about not being able to farm credits or some minor changes to the playlist.

To the farmers, you found a way to exploit the system and you were caught. If Bungie punishes you for it, it's your own fault. If not, you'll just have to find another way play the game. It is a game, it's about having fun, not a way to boost that virtual number next to your gamertag that you try to use to compensate for what you lack.

To the playlist whiners, Reach was released not even a month ago. If a good percentage of the community still wants whatever it was that was changed, there is a good likelihood that it can come back in a couple months as more updates are made. The more mature the community is about wanting a certain playlist, Bungie would probably be more agreeable about including it in a future update. But if you just whine like the child you probably are, Bungie will probably put that playlist on a high shelf that you will never be able to reach.

Pun not intended.

DragonSl4y3r you do have a point there. The credit system is the only fun thing they have on here. Plus grunt Apocalypse is the fastest way of getting your points(the lleagal way that is). Note! players hate the feeling of earning limited amounts of credits on matchmaking, even though they scored and killed quite a bit (per a game). And thats pretty much why people did that credit boost glitch (which Bungie couldn't fix so they just banned people).farming seemed the most sensible way of getting your credits without wasting 7-12 hours a day for 60k condemnation points. And to top it all off no matter how good you are there's really no true rank. They'll just give u special colors for a month to make u happy. Then what? well you get to start all over and do it again. Bungie had something good going with halo 3, now... well to put it lightly they just screwed up most of it (besides the Armour part.) Until now we'll just have to wait for someone descent to come along to fix this ranking/exp mess. God help us all.

alot of people all ready are every body knows in nov a big game title is dropping and alot of people will leave reach and go play where bungie is not standing their like some parent saying you got to many credits or you are ranking up to fast bungie needs to just open the game up and let us have at it i myself am at max level and dont even play it is pointless i stay the same rank they need to do something and fast

So... in the future we won't be able to rack up easy cR in Gruntpocalypse but still being able to exploit ONI: Swordbase? I find this rather odd.

  • 10.02.2010 1:43 AM PDT

I just don't know how much longer I can wait until MLG Playlist! These loadouts are driving me away from the game. :(

  • 10.02.2010 1:48 AM PDT

Don't want no negativity. :)

Halo Reach is so epic. I just beat the campaign and ending is just amazing. I think Bungie did a really do job of bring everything together and I love it. Thanks Bungie for the best ever, never going stop playing.
