Yeah that one is gunna be rough, does it matter what setting? Basically would have to playthrough the entire campaign w/o dying.

SWAT and team snipers is pretty much all people vote for, anyone else finding this exceedingly annoying?

i was doing a ton of team multi last night with friends and we picked SWAT pretty much every time it came up. Avoided headhunter and oddball like the plague though.

Fun stuff so far, but ya i'd like to play some normal slayer games for a change. What's the point of having all these armor things if the games ppl vote only have sprint in them only time i get to really use anything else is invasion, and even then all people wanna play is slayer.

couple of my decent ones so far

You know there is a gametype that gets you that achievement in 8 mins?

**Kyo** · 2010-09-16 08:45

I guess I do now, lol. Not a big deal, I got it done all that matters, but what is it?

SwaggerlikeKillquick · 2010-09-16 08:58

it's a gametype where you have infinite AA power infinite ammo first selection for load outs is rockets/plasma canon w/ jet pack.

waves have elites that just keep coming non stop never have to reload or anything. Oh and you have infinite shields so you never die.

Pretty broken.

you should get like 50k by the bonus round and then on the bonus round you should get to a million. Just did it in a party of 3 for a friend.

**Kyo** · 2010-09-16 09:06

We were doing it like that, but I guess the host could have changed to just elites because it was more of a variant, as far as enemies go, probably why it took so long.

Why wouldn't you vote for this? If you get stuck on basic slayer there aren't nearly enough DMR to go around, and the game is more forgiving than previous installments to bad players (harder to die, more obstacles to wait for help, etc). AR is worse than ever.

So far, SWAT or Slayer DMR is by far the best gametype.

(Online) This game is fine, and I'm sure I will put a lot of hours into it, but damn, it isn't close to the last installment IMO. Give me the BR, or give me death

**Holly Short** · 2010-09-16 10:31

I've seen people pick headhunter a lot, haven't seen a team sniper's yet.

And yeah, the elites having such a strong shield still throws me off. I've just been doing plasma + 1 shot in the head with DMR. Blowing that many shots in the head consecutively without killing something gives me the strong urge to punch something.

what's the name of the variant, so I can find it?

**Zetanio** · 2010-09-16 12:14

I hate the DMR. Not to mention everyone and their mothers ONLY picks DMR Slayer.

**Weltall** · 2010-09-16 12:40

Would you rather start with the AR?

Thank God FF14 comes out soon, because so far I am majorly let down, and I have always been a huge fanboy of online Halo

**Aeowin** · 2010-09-16 12:46

Obviously not or you just completely suck at Halo to not enjoy Reach. I fail to see what there isn't to like about this game, aside from MAYBE the campaign length.

Personally I'm really happy with the campaign. My only real gripe is with the DMR. I don't like the single shot idea and quite frankly, I suck with it. I know you probably meant that to Welltall but w/e.

**Weltall** · 2010-09-16 13:04

I'll play with you later; I am still good at Reach online, I just don't prefer it to 3, 2, or 1 (XboxConnect PC days!) lol.

Edit - Your Halo 3 KD was .68 with 54 games played (against scrubs), and your Reach is already a measely .85 with only 74 games played, and you have the audacity to comment on someone sucking at Halo ? lol

I played at least 1500+ matches on Halo on 4 accounts, had 3 at 50, and one at 48/49 with a consistent 1.3~1.9 KD in all game types against quality players.

3 is just better online; if I empty a clip into someone's face after I just seen a team member melee them...they should not still be alive.

**Aeowin** · 2010-09-16 13:22

I never said I was good at Halo, I'm actually pretty bad. But I'm not sitting here bitching about the game not being good. I admit that Halo is a game I'm not great at but still highly enjoy myself playing it.

Also, I could care less about how much Halo you've played, forgive me for having interests in other games. I could sit here and list my cod4 and mw2 stats and blow anyone on this website apart with them. But I'm not going to because I don't have that much time on my hands like some people.

Fuck off.

**Kiarax** · 2010-09-16 14:06

I hated the DMR initially too (especially during beta), once you get used to the timing/bloom it works just fine. Only issue I seem to have with it now is they seemed to have made head hitboxes much more accurate. It was ridiculously easy to pop someone in the head in Halo 2/3 but in this I occasionally find myself aiming exactly as I would in those and missing the head. But again that's just something to get used to.

Yep.. Me too. I haven't played a ton of online but I've been doing terrible trying to get myself used to the DMR/headshot aiming again.

Sometimes I just get lazy and grab a sword if I can, but that's the lazy side of me liking reliable kills until I get better.

Expected response.

Which sensitivity setting is everyone playing with?
