Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

1. Yes, but it isn't the deciding factor of one's skill.
2. Depends if you play as a random or with a team.
3. EVA, Security, Mk. VI, ODST.
4. DMR, Magnum...Rockets?
5. AR, Needler, Plasma Repeater, default bloom DMR.
6. Yes.
7. Sprint/Evade/Jet pack.
8. Yes.
9. Pretty cool.
10. Probably.

1) Somewhat
2) no
3) I don't know and I don't really care
4) I don't know
5) Pistol, plasma launcher, don't know any others
6) somewhat, but not really
7) I don't like any Armor Ability
8) YES
9) I really don't give a -blam!- considering it died off when file share bans were being issued in H3 for making anything offensive

1) Do you find K/D to be important?


Nope.

2) What about W/L?

See above.

3) What armour do you find more common amongst the Community?

I never focus on the armor as I'm shooting at them.

4) What are your top 5 favourite weapons?

Whatever I happen to be using.

5) Top 5 hated weapons?

Utility weapons in general.

6) Do you think vehicles take skill to use?

Yes, now if only I could see somebody display a little while they use them.

7) What is your favourite armour ability?

Sprint.

8) Did you find the Halo: Reach Campaign boring compared to past Halo games?

Not really, no.

9) What do you think of Forge Art? (Not including Manga/-blam!-)

It's like putting a bunch of Legos together, really.

10) If the Halo: Reach Campaign focused on the Master Chief in his early days would you like it/play it more?

God no. Halo needs to focus on somebody new. Which is astonishing, since John wasn't much of a character anyway, just more of a conduit for the story and it would be rather difficult to get bored of something like that.

  • 12.03.2011 3:36 PM PDT

1) Not really for me, but it is always nice to go positive I suppose.
2) I prefer winning, but if I am having fun with friends, winning isn't everything.
3) I suppose the Security Shoulder with the Kukri.
4) I enjoy the plasma pistol, the Grenade Launcher, the Pistol (not CE) DMR, and I guess the AR.
5) I dislike the shotgun, sword, hammer, sniper, and rocket.
6) To kill with? No. To drive? Yes.
7) Hologram.
8) Yes, the lack of character developement was a turn-off for me.
9) I find that what ever the community creates, it is fairly interesting. I'm not against it.
10) Yes. I have been suggesting that kind of campaign story line forever now.

1) no
2) yes
3) not sure, most of the people i find have random armor
4) Magnum, Grenade Launcher, Needle Rifle, Energy Sword, sniper
5) Plasma Rifle... i don't know any more
6) yes, in a certain way of use...
7) jet pack
8) some parts, but its not as good as the others
9) never really liked it as in paying attention to it
10) not really, i am getting a bit interested in halo 4 as 343 industries is introducing forerunners for the first time.

1) Do you find K/D to be important?
No, but I will try to finish each game with a positive K/D.

2) What about W/L?
No, usually I play for commendations, and you'll earn more Cr the longer a game is, so I try not to focus on the 'winning' objective.

3) What armour do you find more common amongst the Community?
EVA (C) is the new Hayabusa, as well as Gungir.
I see the Security Knife shoulder way too much.
And a lot of players use the ODST shoulders.

4) What are your top 5 favourite weapons?
Assassinations, Spartan Laser, DMR, Grenade Launcher, and Plasma Grenades.

5) Top 5 hated weapons?
Energy Sword, Needler, Assault Rifle. anything else is ok.

6) Do you think vehicles take skill to use?
Depends on the vehicle.
Banshee, just flip and roll between Bomb shots and you're pretty much invincible.
It takes skill to drive a Warthog and get your gunner kills.

7) What is your favourite armour ability?
Evade. Sprint if there's no Evade.

8) Did you find the Halo: Reach Campaign boring compared to
past Halo games?
No, I enjoyed the challenge of Legendary with the Iron skull.

9) What do you think of Forge Art? (Not including Manga/-blam!-)
If it's made with actual skill and effort, Forge art is really cool.

10) If the Halo: Reach Campaign focused on the Master Chief in his early days would you like it/play it more?
No, Master Chief =/= what Halo is about IMO.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

1. No, try to finish positive, though. Not a deciding factor on skill.
2. No, same as above.
3. Security Shoulders, robotic arms of all sorts
4. Magnum, DMR, Sniper, Spartan Lazer, NR
5. Needler, Shotgun, AR, Frags, FRG
6. Default Warthog.
7. Evade
8. Yes, but it had its moments. *Cough* MAC cannon *Cough*
9. Don't really care.
10. Oh HELL no. If reach was about MC's part in the battle, it'd last less than an hour.

1) To some extent. It isn't accurate enough to base full judgements off of. An overall horrible KD shouldn't be criticized if the player plays varieties of playlists that are far different from typical competitive play (Grifball, Action Sack, Living Dead). It also fails to show improvement in short times: players that had a history of sucking must spend a lot of time making up for that if they got much better at the game. Overall, KD gives some hint at the player's ability, but not a full analysis.

2) Depends. Players that search solo typically get screwed over by horrible randoms many times and their WL suffers. Should that player's individual skills be prejudged simply because they don't have competence to work with?


(#1 and 2 have many variables that affect accuracy)

3) I generally see Mark VI helmets and Security shoulders on everyone.

4)
-Sniper
-DMR
-Needle Rifle
-Concussion Rifle
-Rocket Launcher

5)
-Assault Rifle
-Spiker
-Plasma Rifle
-Plasma Repeater
-Fuel Rod Gun

6) Everything takes SOME skill to use. You can call the AR a skill weapon because you need to know that you must get close to people to get the best result. If something took no skill to use, there wouldn't be any variety in player-manipulated outcomes: no way to use something wrong or right. The degree of skill that something requires, however, is much more different.

7) Active Camo or Evade

8) I thought it was pretty good compared to the others. I wouldn't call it the best, though. I found a lot of the places that you explore to be very interesting; I wouldn't call the campaign boring.

9) Even with the suggestive manga, I find all forge art to be pretty interesting; I admire how people can create images using a very limited wealth of resources.

10) I would find that pretty interesting, but I am satisfied with Noble Team. I think it was nice to see another new set of faces. Plus, with Noble 6 as a main character, many machinima opportunities arise from being able to implement customizable characters into the campaign.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

1. To a degree
2. To a degree
3. IDK
4. Sniper, Shotgun, DMR, Sword, Rockets
5. The above ^
6. To a degree
7. Evade
8. YES
9. I don't pay attention to it
10. No way to know how good the story was.

  • 12.03.2011 4:39 PM PDT

If I could change a few things in Reach, it would be....

*Get rid of yoinking and medal ( yoinking is retarded )
*Force Bungie to work again and get rid of 343's existence
* A few other things

No idea what this is

Doesn't really matter to me

1) No, K/D means nothing to someone like me that plays for fun.
Hey, tryhards, you know what fun is? That thing video games are created to be? Anyway....

2) What is W/L? Oh win/loss, ^same^. See? I didn't even know what it was at first.

3) GUNGNIR or MkVI helmet and the 'look at me, I'm like a giant bull's eye' oversized shoulderpieces.

4) Uh... Depends on the gametype really. I tend to like the AR. Go ahead and call me a noob, all you morons out there. I don't care.

5) I don't really HATE any weapons. I think the sniper rifle's ability to even decently damage vehicles is dumber than Claymores in MW2, them being sniper rifles and all, and I wish the Focus Rifle was more powerful. That's it.

6) Not much. However, I like this fact. I wish the Scorpion wasn't a friggin' sniper rifle on steroids, but other than that, it's for the best, because it allows players without much experience to compete.

7) I don't have one. I personally don't like Armor Lock or Jetpacks in most gametypes, but I like everything else.

8) In certain places. For example, the last part of Nightfall has too many enemies in too small a space, and the music is overdone. But overall, it has no more downs than any other good game. Beats the perpetually overdone stories CoD offers for the most part.

9) I'm glad players were able to use Forge for something as interesting as sculpting and pseudo-drawing. I'm always happy to see creative art forms. I could definitely do without the fail provocative manga though.

10) I probably wouldn't play it more. I mean, it would be very interesting, but the reason the game doesn't recieve quite as much attention from me as the other games is because the others have a bit more of that inexplicable thing that makes a game fun to play. I think Reach still has that element, but not as much as, say, the original.

This chance to think about Reach like this was interesting. The interview format was kind of cool too. Thanks, OP.

I'm just interested in seeing a persons individual opinion in each question. There would have been more questions to answer but I thought that ten would be enough.

1.) Depends, for me anything is fine so long as it is 1 or above
2.) In objective, definitely, other than that it still depends
3.) Anything bulky seems common, mainly security shoulders and Jorge chest
4.) Hammer, Sword, Focus Rifle, Concussion Rifle, and Plasma Repeater
5.) Shotgun, Sniper(on big maps), Needler, Plasma Rifle(due to repeater outperforming it up close and under-use), and I guess Rocket Launcher for lack of a better choice
6.) Depends on the vehicle, example being a Battlegoose
7.) Active Camo in Rumble Pit, combined with the sword it is so much fun
8.) I enjoyed it the first time, afterwards there was not much to look for
9.) The good forgers forge good forge objects
10.) Doing so would only change my opinion if I played it really

  • 12.03.2011 5:16 PM PDT

Sincerely, the voice inside your head for whenever you read things.

1) No.
2) No.
3) EVA [C]
4) Energy sword, Magnum, Needle Rifle, Sniper, Plasma Rifle.
5) Rockets, Needler, FRG, Plasma Launcher, Sniper.
6) Yes. You need to be good at aiming and driving.
7) Jetpack.
8) Meh.
9) It's cool.
10) Yes.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.


1) Do you find K/D to be important?

Yes, but not always. A positive K/D means that you consistently contribute more to the win.

2) What about W/L?

Yes, but in certain circumstances. In let's say you run BTB with a party, you should have a pretty good W/L. However, let's use my playtime in Multi-Team for example. I don't give a -blam!- about winning in that playlist, so I tend to lose the objective-based games. Also, I primarily go into Team Slayer by myself; I still pull good numbers, but my W/L is not as high as it is in others.

3) What armour do you find more common amongst the Community?

It used to be everything was as bulky as possible, but it's gotten better.

4) What are your top 5 favourite weapons?

Focus Rifle, Grenade Launcher, Assault Rifle, using the objective to kill a player, and the Assassinations. I liked the Beta's Plasma Repeater, but this one sucks.

5) Top 5 hated weapons?

Everything that got nerfed after Halo 3 and the Beta: Blueberries, Laser, Plasma Repeater, and Concussion Rifle. Oh, and double-punchers.

6) Do you think vehicles take skill to use?

Oh, but of course! Why wouldn't they?

7) What is your favourite armour ability?

Evade by far. Then Camo I guess, but I will usually pick Evade.

8) Did you find the Halo: Reach Campaign boring compared to past Halo games?

Yes. There were some decent parts, but there was nothing really awe-inspiring about this campaign.

9) What do you think of Forge Art? (Not including Manga/-blam!-)

I think they should use the time they spend on making Forge art instead on becoming better at the game.

10) If the Halo: Reach Campaign focused on the Master Chief in his early days would you like it/play it more?

I've never thought about that, but it would be a cool concept if done properly.

1. Depends/not really
2. ^
3. \_/ and lolarmor
4. GL, Sniper, Laser, Focus Rifle, Plasma Pistol (No particular order)
5. CBF to list
6. They obviously do to some extent, just a different "type" of skill then most people think of. Most people think just aiming is what defines skill, when its a lot more than that.
7. None
8. I guess
9. Cool
10. \_/
