Halo: Reach

[-Zer0-]

Breakpoint in particular is especially cruel when you're down a few or with shitty players since all the weapons and vehicles are on the map. Both sides have a Plasma Launcher and Rocket Launcher. The Plasma on the snowy cliff side is near the Ghost in the snow iirc. The Plasma Launcher on the base side is up top on the walkway right where you spawn. You can jetpack or take the stairs up there. I usually do well if I have someone work the Banshee reliably since air superiority is crucial on Breakpoint. It's almost like having a Scoprion on Hemorrhage.

As for Tempest, I find it easier to go positive if you're not running from side to side or hanging out in the middle too much. If you can't grab a sniper on the outside edges of the map, the shotguns aren't far off. Using the rocks make it easy to jump unsuspecting bitches and escape.

My only beef with Anchor 9 is that everyone votes for it so goddamn much like Hemorrhage.

Reach for your wallet, because more Halo's on the way. The Halo: Reach "Defiant" Map Pack, first seen in leaked images last week, has been officially revealed by Microsoft as a set of three new multiplayer maps, available next month for 800 Microsoft Points.

"Condemned," set on a space station above the planet Reach, is designed for 6-12 players in various team modes and Free for All, while "Highlands" is a Big Team Battle, Team Slayer, and Team Objective map set in the "Wilderness Training Preserve" on the planet. Finally, "Unearthed" is a new Firefight map set inside a titanium mine.

It's worth noting that the maps were created "in partnership" with Age of Booty developer Certain Affinity, a team of Bungie vets that has made maps for Call of Duty: Black Ops and World at War, and Halo 2.

Ok, now thats what DLC maps should look like, Highlands is beautiful.

[Pikarya]

Well there goes another 15 bucks.

[Qalbert]

Pretty sure activision is the only company that charges 15 bucks for just maps.

[Qalbert]

5 for 15 is cheaper per map than 3 for ten, fwiw

I know you are niggin, but I would much rather publish titles like Mass Effect 3, Dead Space 2, Dragon Age 2, Battlefield, Portal 2 and so on. Halo really isnt that special.
It's no secret I hate what activision has done to a couple of our inhouse developers, and now they're actively sucking the life out of blizzard as well. I refuse to give those niggas any money.

Quite honestly they have nothing out I personally play anyway, that isnt from blizzard. They keep canceling franchises left and right, only leg they have left to stand on is call of duty and they have three teams doing MW 3 because of the huge talent exodus from IW.

You should know that Bioware is my favorite developer by now san :3

People on BG hating on Halo? NEVER. NOT POSSIBLE

Played reach for about 2-3 weeks when it came out, hated it, quit.

Last week I was going through my games and found Reach which I thought I sold back lol. I played a couple team snipers (which I think wasn't on the playlist last time I played). Did they make alot of adjustments to this game? I actually enjoy playing it now.

Also... Classic Slayer on the Community play list actually has a "Halo 2" feel to it. The lock out remake map feels very much like Halo 2 (more so then blackout from Halo3).

Are any of the DLC maps worth getting? I haven't bought any for Reach and really don't expect too. I'll probably be bored of this game in a week or two anyway.

The game in general has had a huge overhaul in bug fixes and additions since launch.

If you get the chance, pick up all the DLC. Haters gonna hate.

Care to elaborate?

[Mizango]

Haters gonna hate.

Pretty much.

Deep down you will notice that the haters are mainly the ones that are disappointed in how bad MAG and KZ sucked compared to the hype. Have Had both, they fucking blew dick hole.
