Subject: Best Way To Spend Time On Halo: Reach?

RX R42HID XR, Xitol

Hi everyone,
just asking what you all think is the best way to play Reach. At the moment, i'm struggling to think of some new, imaginative, or original ways to play the game. I've been forging, playing invasion and trying to get some achievements, but all seems too, so to say, boring. I've been used to Matchmaking, and forge in previous Halo's, and seems to be getting a bit repetitive, with me resulting in reverting onto another game. Do any of you have any suggestions into what i can do to keep myself occupied on Reach? I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks guys, if you could aswell, XTL R42HID RX, my XBL GT, if you could maybe message me some more details to your opinions.

If i'm going against any of the rules of the forums, i'm apoligising in advance, NOW.

Messing around in Forge with friends is the best way these days. But that's just my opinion.

Custom games. Although decent ones are rare.

With multi team, that used to be fun, but seeing as not many of my halo friends are not online that often, think that would be a bit pointless, sorry mate

This. And make maps with all your friends that you can play on in custom games. Makes the game pretty fun.

I was going to come in with the witty-ass remark of "playing the game", but I can see what your problem is.

I know one of the major appeal throughout the halo games has been playing customs. I reccomend getting as many friends together as possible - in person or with microphones - and hitting matchmaking or screwing arond in customs. It's sure as hell a good time. I avoided matchmaking like the plague in Halo 2, because there was always a match of Zombies or Tower of Power to play.

Other than that, I try to keep things mixed up. It's possible you're just playing so much Reach that you're burning out on it. Try and see if you have any other games you feel like playing for a while, and keep doing that until you want to play Reach again. I understand 'not playing reach' isn't the ideal answer to 'how do I have more fun in reach' but sometimes taking a break from a game prevents you from getting tired of it, and keeps you having fun with it.

Find a old map and change it then put a gametype on it that dosn't sound likeit will work but it does

Eg: hog potato on pinnacle

Nope, bad.

The only way to play Reach: Going into TS or SS and committing suicide.

To be honest, i don't play Reach as much as i played Halo 3, which is alot, and my stats are there to prove. I'll try take your advice on board, but the main problem is finding people to come online, as many are always absent!
