"Ignorance is Bliss!"

I know my opinion doesn't really matter but here is my 2 cents on the recent update.

Overall the Update is great, and I have enjoyed playing the game.

Matchmaking - No real complaints. Fix shotgun VS Energy sword. . . . I should not get a bulltrue and still die!!!

Firefight - Score Attack: "You can no longer pickup other weapons in Sniper Attack" This is probably the worst complaint I can have for this update, working on alternate weapon commedations will become rediculously hard due to not being able to have unlimited ammo. For example: Automatic Weapons, the needler runs out of ammo really fast and not enough grunts carry it to make up for it.

- The 3 min increase wasn't really necessary, but not gonna complain about that. I would like to see the time bonus multiplier actually be used.


LEVEL CAP - I understand the reason for the level cap, but I will still QQ about it a little bit. I like that I can load the game offline and see my actual rank after the cap. But to have the method to have it raised by community efforts is a little depressing. There has been a lot of secrecy with Reach, and having a difinitive date for when the cap will be raised would ease the weight on a whole lot of peoples shoulders.

Couple Question's on issues.

1. If you are over the level cap and buy a piece of offline gear, will that piece of armor be available to me when the cap is lifted for online?

2. What counts as a penalty in campaign play?

3. Why is there no credit bonus for maxing Onyx commedations?

If it moves, shoot it.
SWaGiN uP!!

no actually, not random at all, the choice behind that number is Spartan 117, or at least in theory.

Still waiting for the remaining Halo 2 maps, which are better than anything you've created since or ever will again from the looks of it. If you won't throw them into DLC map packs as extras, then at least browse the user-created forge versions that are done excellently and throw them into playlists.

Lockout, Colossus, Elongation, Turf have been done masterfully, while Gemini, Relic, Warlock, Headlong, and Burial Mounds are pretty decent. This is your last hoorah Bungie, show you actually care about your fans as much as Epic has instead of talking about it.

  • 10.16.2010 1:27 PM PDT

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

Can't wiat for the mother -blam!- map pack. love the new playlists and why is the non-illigle credit-boosting not working. = the one on oni base? in campain?!?!?!?!

Bleep bloop someone has been watching some red vs blue

P.S.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT endorse, support, or condone the modification or editing of Halo 3 and/or Halo Reach outside of the developer-established boundaries. I have never, and never will, modify any game on Xbox Live outside of developer-established boundaries intended for the end user.

I'd actually LOVE to have my cR reset.
I have been permanently banned from MM and cR with no reason given, even though I have requested one multiple times.

I complimented a sandbox engineer on how awesome Bungie's new .map encryption is, and that it seems like there won't be a problems with jtags like there was in Halo 3, and I was banned for having "modified data in your profile".
My cR's legit and so is my K/D.
The only time that there was any sort of challenge reset was before MM was up, and that was because I played a different game, then played Reach again within the same day.
At that point, all a user needed to do was go to the dash and restart Reach and the challenges were reset.
I reported this bug and played as I normally would.
I received the same daily challenge (Shootin' and Lootin') a few times due to me sporadically playing through campaign.

tl;dr:
You people shouldn't be complaining about your little cR reset.
I didn't even try to do anything and I got perma-banned from Reach MM but NOT XBL.

Many will enter, only one will rise to the top and he might not even win....

Can't wait for all this stuff to happen, the last note was also great to read.

concerning the forge competition and non-US gamers not being able to participate, you said it was because of a legal issue? i am guessing this has to do with the prize being a limited edition 360? my suggestion is that you have a worldwide competition and make the price something you get in-game, like special armor or a different colored head flame thingy. wouldn't that be possible? i mean, yes a reach limited edition 360 would be awesome, but i dont thing anyone would complain if "all" they got was some sweet exclusive in-game content, i mean thats a part of the halo experience, being able to brag with cool armor and effects!!!!! would be really awesome and i already have some maps im working on that i hope i can share with you and the halo community soon :D really looking forward to the new content <3 bungie

good work, urk



congrats Joe on making the update , nice guide

Alright. About time the got rid of Friendly Fire and Booting in Firefight. So annoying to accidentally kill your teammate then get booted even though it was the FIRST offense. It was ridiculous.

  • 10.16.2010 4:48 PM PDT

A lot of great changes coming. Thank you!!

How will you deal with people afk'ing in Firefight? Removal of the Daily Challenge for playing so many Firefight matchmaking games? I can and do deal with quitters, but leeches make me want to hunt them down and beat them senseless with their controller.

Damn, another content-filled update, great work!

HALO REACH ROCKS!!

Bungie i got a question when are u going to make the commander rank and all the other ranks i want to get commando helmet already.

  • 10.16.2010 5:55 PM PDT

I think the 117 milestone thing is a cool thing and all, but why couldn't bungie just have set a date and time on raising the level cap? I understand the concept of waiting for the other players to catch up, but I would like to know a specific date and time for this event instead of a guess of sometime next month. Still great update . I really like the pic of the elite general armor.

there are 2 facts you should know..... 1. there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. 2. no one dies a virgin because life screws us all

well looking forward to rest of octobers updates!

though one question
my family and i are currently living in our disturbingly kind aunts house. her internet isn't the most reliable, from time to time internet goes out and on a few occasions that has happend on games when i complete a daily challange. will i get reseted for this. this is not a malicious act to manipulate the credit system. (its the lack of knowledge about setting up a protected internet so lousy neighbors can't steal her bandwith)

The only thing that is necessary for evil to succeed is that men of good will do nothing. -Edmund Burke

So can we expect Bungie to release lots more more Forgeworld maps in the future?

Sad that crashsite is going, i loved that mode, i KNOW i wont play mythic, normal firefight is difficult dont need double health to make it harder and i love that Reach has you killing Elites again but all im fighting in FF is Brutes and maybe 5 Elties its ridiculous! MORE ELITES IN FF!

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Solid.

can anyone message me and tell me why i hard workedly worked my cr all the way up to major grade 3 and when i played online for the first time today, they took away all my credits and also down graded me to sergeant grade 1. it made me very upset, all that hard work gone to waste:(

If you level up offline then go live you get busted back to a 26,000 credit limit (armor + credits). This is so that people will not find a way to boost offline then join online. If you had done your research and read a little bit you would have found this out before you did this.
