Halo Reach: Always Out Numbered But Never Out Gunned

Elites will still use the Plasma Rifle in Campaign, the Plasma Repeater was primarily designed to be a more appropiate answer to the Human Assault Rifle from the Covenant’s side in Multiplayer. When the AR was buffed, so was the Repeater.

That said, I don’t think Bungie’s ever said that Elites will never use the Plasma Repeater in Campaign. It might just be rare.

How was it a fail? because you couldn’t compete?

I hope the maps for multiplayer is really good…like in halo 2.

And i hope this time i’ll be able to reach level 50 in lone wolf lol…my highest was always level 45 or so…werent some of you guys level 50 in both lone wolf and teams? Damn you animals!

I consider any slow down of the game play a fail. Halo3 had major slow down with having to sit through the whole reload animation and some times even then the lag caused you to reload twice. That’s my biggest gripe about the newer games including Reach. You can call me a noob or whatever but I was a fifty in team and ffa practically playing alone in teams for the most part.

Just gets boring is all since you have to slow your game. I think in reach the sensitivity is like 7 max of what Halo3 is and I hope they fix that.

Halo 3 is a lot slower than 2 and especially Halo 1. It’s not bad, just nowhere near the level of the others. I was actually surprised at how much fun the reach beta was. The DMR didn’t impress me, but the pistol was alright, and the sniper was awesome. But more than any of that, I look forward to the new gametypes. Headhunter looks SO sweet. And the new take on ctf! Can’t wait!

**Well, I got a few videos on my file share I think you can check out.

And come on, it’s Halo 3 even kids are good at the game don’t even lie. lol**

That’s not saying much these days. I know quite a few elementary/middle school kids who beast hella hard at FPS games.

^

Exactly. Just because their kids doesn’t mean they can’t be good at a game. I think someone just got a little butt hurt being beaten by kids.

I’d get more embarrassed if a girl beats me (never happened). :rofl: Closest I came to that was playing a group of chicks on halo2 but I got the most kills and my team just sucked. Funny though.

Not trying to down chicks but from what I’ve seen they don’t seem to be able to focus as well in fps. Other games like racing, I’d probably get demolished since I have that problem if I don’t know the entire map and even then it doesn’t hold my attention as long.

There are a few good h3 chicks. One of them is technically pro. You’re right though. Most chicks can’t game.

My girlfriend’s not bad. She plays Halo with me all the time. There are times when she gets nervous and reverts back to scrubby level, but for the most part pretty decent.

Then don’t ever get into a MM with achan. My wife is a beast in Halo 3. She’s better at it than I am, that’s for sure.

And yes, there’s plenty of good female FPS players. Stop being such a masochist, McG.

You mean misogynist lol. Masochists are like people who get pleasure from pain. It’s weird.

:lol: I’m just going from personal experience. I’ve played thousands of matches in Halo 2, a couple in Halo 3, plus thousands in other fps like COD and such and I’ve yet to encounter a female that completely obliterates me. I’m not exactly trying to pretend I’m pro either and play mostly for fun. Could just be the luck of the draw but still I would think I’d come across at least one. I have a few chicks on my friends list that I played with in Halo2/3 which are good, some times better than a couple of my male friends but still can’t beat me.

I humored you and looked up her stats and I’d say I can take her. :bgrin: Highest skill lv is 41 and I usually do well on people below 48 or so, of course I know that some times levels don’t matter as people boost but I’m assuming she did all that legit.

bungie posted up more reach info

  • firefight 2.0 has ALOT OF OPTIONS (you can customize waves to spawn most anything EXCEPT buggers)
  • female noble six (also six has dialogue in the campaign, so no total silence like The Rookie apparently)
  • “plenty” of voice sets to choose from for your firefight character

Glad to see speed is increased and melee damage is seperate from weapon damage. It can be a really good competitive multiplayer.

Marvel making a Fall of Reach comic :rock:

**Nah, I think what’s actually going on here is that you guys are butt hurt that I don’t like Halo 3 lol.

FPS’s don’t require that much skill, especially since all FPS’s lately have automatic targeting.**

:u: :rofl: If everyone has automatic target the playing field is level.

**That’s not the point i’m trying to make, i’m saying it’s not hard to play Halo 3 and be good at it.

Just because I don’t like Halo 3 doesn’t mean i’m not good at it, i’m not the best at it but I don’t suck it either.

Halo Reach is just better than Halo 3 to me, my opinion so stop crying about my opinions on the subject @ people in this thread.**
