So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

Easy, they were all dead at the same time.

"Extermination is a special medal awarded in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach Multiplayer for killing the last alive player on the opposing team with at least an Overkill that results in the entire team being dead at once." -Halo Wiki's description of the medal

I didn't see an overkill there. Did you?

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

That's because Skyrim is a much bigger game than Reach. Skyrim is absolutely massive, and open world, compared to reach's extremely linear campaign.

A game is a game, and a glitch is a glitch. Longer games have longer development cycles, and take longer to test thoroughly.
In my mind it's not a matter of how much debugging you have to do, so much as how much of it you get done. Reach is a nice clean game. Skyrim is more of an alpha build. *shrug* Just saying I agree with OP.

Nope but you said explain to me how it happened. So i did. Obviously just a glitch meaning you only have to put the whole team in respawn and not get the OK.

Okay, thanks. I was trying to make a point to the OP that the OVK glitch does happen, and yes, it does affect the game.

Or when your campaign progress gets deleted and you need to start all over?
-blam!- love that -blam!-.


Most reasons this happens is because of a few things:

-You sign in while another account is loading it's data.

-You start Reach while your account is offline, then Connect To Live while in the Reach menus. (Signing out and back in fixes the problem.)

-Signing out or shutting off your system while data is being saved.

Needless to say, the 1st and 3rd are irreversible, and coincidentally, are the player's fault. The 2nd option is just a loading issue that signing out/in fixes.

Also, on one BTB map I don't remember the name of (might have been Trident) you can glitch your whole team under the map using a mongoose.


Shhh.. :P

OT: You can spawn people inside the walls of the map on Powerhouse, Countdown and many Forge World maps.

There are also instances where everyone but yourself will be 'invisible' and you will seemingly lose shields/health as though you're being shot despite no view/sound that you're being shot. Only seems to happen when it's ridiculously laggy.

I believe the coding's messed up in that in longer spawning games (i.e. Objective) all you need is to have all 4 people dead within the 10 second window. He gets the Exterm after the 5th kill, which is 9 seconds after he killed the second player, meaning all 4 players were dead at the time.

So you can get a triple in 3 seconds and then have 7 seconds to kill the 4th player and still receive the Exterm, even if you don't get an Overkill.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Bungie do test their games very well. But glitches always occur.

But also due to the Beta, many of these are found. But some still are not detected untill launch, and some can not be fixed.

I still remember the Halo 3 Beta, and bungie said that it impossible to get out of the maps. We still managed to get out of Vahalla.

Even though I like Reach, this forum has shown me that no matter what people think they can all agree upon, the only thing that almost everyone or everyone can agree on here is the fact that Bungie did not satisfy everyone.

This.

Although, he has a point, Reach doesn't have any major glitches like Call of Duty or Battlefield, it is well polished in that regard.

However, the community is upset about intended game features.

I'll admit, if there's anything Bungie has a track record of it's putting forth quality games. People might not like features of the gameplay or storyline, but there are very, very few glitches throughout the game and everything tends to run smoothly.

Of course, people rarely notice the things done right.

  • 02.20.2012 7:23 PM PDT

No, just no major glitches.

Halo 2. Although that was probably because MS made Bungie rush to launch on time.

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

Don't forget about the spot of wall on Sword Base that you can shoot through! I actually got a DMR kill shooting through it once.

You said that there were no unplayable parts in the campaign but there is a glitch on winter contingency, if you emp the falcon with Jun in it, hijack and continue the mission (and fail the drop-ship skip) it will be impossible to continue any further.

They only thing Bungie did right with Reach was the Grenade Launcher.


Period.

There was also the whole trying to stuff more content on the disc than the Xbox would be able to load at once.
