Subject: Your first day of reach?

Looking back and remembering my first day playing reach (15/09/11) I played campaign until I finished TOTS and then jumped into Big Team Battle for far longer than anyone can deem reasonable. Hemorrhage seemed like a gift from god at the time. So epic :)

So what did you get up to on your first ever day of playing Halo: Reach and how does what you did then compare to what you play now? Hemorrhage doesn't really feel the same anymore imo.

It was Nirvana.

But seriously, I loved it in the beginning, even though I was FAR worse than I am now.

I want my elephant back.
Give it to me now!
(Please?)

Me.

lol

First, I went into Forge. Amazed.
Then, I went into Campaign. Satisfied.
Then I went into Theater. Great!
Finally, I hit MM. Amazed!

How the next day played out:
First, I hit Campaign. Again, satisfied.
Then I hit FOrge. Still Amazed.
Theater came upon me. Twas great.
Finally MM. I was overcome by sadness as I realized how bad the game actually was.

I sucked pretty bad at first, and I have gotten a lot better. My first day? I did campaign until nightfall and then some team slayer.

Brutes aren't monkeys, Brutes are gorillas. Humans are monkeys, and Spartans are Orangutans.

My first reaction was "WTF have they done!"... regarding matchmaking, trying to use loadouts with a bumper-jumper controller setting in my spine.... I was soo disgruntled I just stopped playing for a while.

I now realize the game is awesome, and most in need of that big playerbase it once had more than anything else.

In fact if I could decide, I put every loadout taken out from matchmaking in again, and put up about half the amount of playlists/matchmodes (more pure versatile matchmodes only), and just froze things for play there.

My first matchmade game in retail Reach was BTB snipers on Hemorrhage. It was fun.

And then we got BTB SWAT on Hemorrhage, which was probably one of the worst games I'd ever played.

My first day of reach was my first day of xbox live. Played a couple hours team slayer, played like the megan00b i was.

  • 12.18.2011 3:43 PM PDT

hmm. first thing i did was stay up all night at a friend's (his xbox / game) making some ridiculous map in forgeworld. a couple weeks later i bought a 360 / reach bundle. xD

9/19/2010 was my first day. After me and my friends rode our bikes up to GameStop and picked up my copy of the game, we played one or two games of Firefight before jumping into a game of Invasion and getting wrecked my a Banshee.

Have faith in me

Well, my parents made me get offline for a week when I got Reach. So I played campaign... :/

But when I went online, I went to Matchmaking. I was horrible.

  • 12.18.2011 6:27 PM PDT

After I got it at midnight I played some custom Firefight to get used to the game and I was too tired to play much to begin with. The following day it was nothing but the campaign with a friend until we finished it. After that I believe we hit up some more Firefight and then a few days later tried out the multiplayer matchmaking.
I still enjoy playing the game, but I can't play as much multiplayer matchmaking as I used to. I find it more fun to just play with a group of friends in customs or something.

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.

Having played all previous halo games Reach was a breeze. My first match in Reach matchmaking was an easy killing frenzy and no deaths. Just ran out of kills before the match ended to get a perfection lol.

This game is still a breeze to this day.
