General Discussion

People bitch about it now and then, but most people whine about armor lock, proclaim how much they think the game sucks, or claim Halo 3 has a larger population (Halo 3's pop counter on bnet runs on unique players in the last 24 hours while the reach counter does players currently online, nobody bothers to see that, even when bungie employees stated it).

Especially the latter, NOBODY bothers to crouch and sneak around when they're a zombie, so the humans always know when they're coming. I'll only run around when I'm closing in for a split second for the kill or when I'm playing mind games on their motion tracker.

I art always Ninja and I LOVE infection. I've found it quite effective to crouch walk as an infected. I've been doing it since I came back to playing Halo. Now, we just need Griffball.

yeah well bungie already broke the hammer shockwave... so we'll see how well that works, I still hope for a 24/7 grifball playlist though...

That's what I'm hoping for, too. At least, that's what I meant, anyway. As for the shockwave....yeah, I dunno how they're going to work on it BUT bungie did say they were working on Griffball.

I'm glad Infection is actually a fun gametype on Reach, I didn't much care for it on Halo 3.

Once they add the Griffball playlist it'll be on. Like Infection, Grifball is fun in doses, and when we played together Red it was great that we got some varied gameplay from different playlist, so adding another playlist will only increase the fun.

Once they finally added a dedicated Grifball playlist I came back to Halo 3. At least, I did for a little bit but MW2 was out at that point.

Speaking of which...Expect a drop in players due to Black Ops. I'm still on the fence. It's just SO CLOSE to Reach's release...for me anyway. There's so much more I want to play on Reach but I LOVE CoD. Once I get it, I'll be sucked in. When are you guys getting it? If we're all getting it right away, I will. BUT if you guys are waiting till Christmas, I think that'd be a good enough wait for me.

I won't be getting black ops, period.

CoD games just don't last that long for me =/ and I get bored and irritated with prestige, it's a gimmick, and not even a remotely fun one for me.

For me it was fun. I enjoyed the fact that my faster reflexes counted for something, i.e. I shot them first they died first. However, the prestige modes weren't all that amazing, just bragging rights really. I wish you had unlocked a better weapon or something when you went up in prestige each time. You could have all the core weapons in the awesomeness, but then there'd be a special weapon that wasn't common in that era. Just an idea...

There is a thread dedicated to Black Ops.

And in that thread I said I most likely won't even try to get it. I mean it looks interesting, but a new CoD every year, they aren't changing anything phenomenal, hell that aren't even changing the minor things that need changes.

I'd just rather play Halo and a slew of other games that are coming out more than I want to play "another" CoD game. And its Treyarch, which doesn't inspire me even a little anymore after their CoD track record.

I do agree...I just like the dose of realistic warfare..."realistic."

anywho, I will be sticking with Halo Reach for the while. I want to, at the very least, build my Spartan to what I want him to look like.

Sooo eventually I'm gonna have to play through this game on legendary by myself...seeing as all my achievements are now ancient history... unless I still have a backup of my account saved on my computer....

Red and I were in matchmaking and we saw an entire clan of pepto bismol commandos, it was epic.

LOL and the funny part was, I think their clan symbol was the swirl symbol LOL hehehehe
