If anyone played reach yesterday, they might have thought, "why is everyone chucking grenades more than usual?" That was because of a daily challenge to throw grenades like there's no tomorrow to get 8 grenade kills in a game. There are weekly challenges also. I am currently torn on my opinion of them, not knowing if they get in the way of how people play (like in gears when people would only use certain weapons to get the achievements) OR if the challenges are good ways to give players personal goals and keep things fun and fresh.

the updates keep the game fresh. It provoke replayability like achievements do which are so popular these days. I have no problem with it. If grenades are part of the game play and everyone has them then its not a problem. just because you chuck more grenades doesnt mean there always gonna generate kills. I could pop you in the head and drop you quickly if you miss with the nade.

At least the challenges rotate and aren't on-going. It's a good way though to get more cR for ranking up and armor.

Not only that you dont HAVE to do the challenges, honestly it is way faster just to play the match like normal win the game and move on to the next game. ANNNNNNND commendations>challenges
I'm relatively new to the Halo series. I played Halo 1 once for about 10 minutes when it first came out and haven't played any other iteration until I bought Halo: Reach yesterday. Only one person on my friends list has Reach. Can anyone tell me their gamertag so I can play the mulitplayer??
When I heard Halo was being revamped and restarted from scratch, I had hopes for the Halo series once again. I loved Halo 1. Hated Halo 2 and 3 (I won't even touch ODST) Once I played reach I was vastly disappointed in the game. The armor is too damn strong and I hate the fact that you have to shoot somebody 7 times in the head just to kill them it's ridiculous. The pistol was supposed to return to it's former Halo 1 glory (3 headshots and your dead) it was the perfect weapon, now it doesn't have power to it. Also I hate how everybody moves in that game all blocky stiff lego like movements. This game is terrible and I wanted to believe Bungie would actually fix the problems the game had but it looks like they stuck with the same old formula. Halo is nothing more than a melee game, that's all it is. Run around and hit people with your gun. No skill involved with it. Hopefully the new studio that Microsoft appointed to take over the Halo series will discard EVERYTHING Bungie did with Halo and start from scratch and actually use a game engine that doesn't run in a snails pace. Halo Reach is a disappointing game and the only people I see getting excited about Halo are kids and teenagers. Grown adults will stick with the Call of Duty series.

I always thought that excessive grenade throwing was a norm in Halo. But, I guess I don know squat ;)
Did I miss something or does is explain the death of the sniper in the group because I never noticed... last I knew in the game he went with the lady that gave them the AI. anyone?

Jun's fate is up in the air. We don't see what happened to him.
Well I'm sure that character dies (the woman) so maybe they both are killed in the flight they left on... maybe we are thinking too much into this but for some reason I believe he is alive.. in all of us lol

DLC mission?

I am thinking they died when the convenant took over reach there was quite a bit of explosions and if you watch the start of the game every thing is on fire and laid to waste. They had a hard enough time getting cortana off reach with a huge cannon i just really dont think she or jun made it off reach. There is no mention of either of them in any of the 3 later halo games.

Okay, for the first time in my life, I'm getting into competitive Halo, and while I'm not having as much trouble as I thought I'd have jumping genres, I do need some help getting myself on the right developmental track and seperating some facts from myths in regards to top play. 1) I've heard (but only heard) that all the top players use stick sensitivity level 10. Right now I'm practicing on 9 (understanding the need to have it cranked to turn faster), but it makes more subtle movements difficult, hurting my ability to use the DMR in some cases and leaving me very tempted to turn it down a bit. Of course, I don't want to play at a handicap, either, if there are distinct advantages at higher levels from setting it to 10. Can someone clarify this matter for me? 2) Much more simple question: Does Reach mean Halo 3 is a dead game, or is it still worth playing? Is Halo 3 likely to be on WCG or MLG next year? 3) Sort of a generalistic version of my first question...in the fighting genre, game-specific or character-specific message boards often have a stickied thread referred to as a "newbie silencer" containing basic information about competitive play to get people on the right track from the start, but I've encountered nothing of the sort in my search for Halo info. The fact that I have trouble getting into the official Halo forum probably doesn't help. Does anyone know of such a post (by a credible player) anywhere on the internet? Thanks all, I'm sure I'll have more questions later on.
I know two things im tired of in Halo Reach.Getting kicked out of a match cause we all have rockets and i just happen to kill my teammate.Now once and for all, could everyone quit tea baggin, it does not make you cool, it will never be cool, just quit.It was the main reason i quit playing halo3 awhile back

Teabagging used to bother me but not so much anymore. I just ignore it now. Don't let it stop you from enjoying MP. I agree with the betrayal system. I got booted from a Fire fight match, because a teammate ran into a hunter I plasma sticked. Whatever just gave him a bad rep and hopefully don't come across him again.

Jun's fate is up in the air. We don't see what happened to him. DLC mission? Read the rewrite for Fall of Reach -- Jun dies.
When they move the ban time up from 15 minutes to 30 minutes like they did with world of warcraft dungeon quitters.
Good idea.
yes yes it is. it just sucks when you actually need to leave and get put on probation then join a **** match with bad connection so you leave and get banned and panic wondering what if microsoft saw what happened I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE BANNED! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! help me jesus WHY WONT YOU HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! so it's sometimes good sometime's bad :P

Just think of it this way, it's like goal celebrations in football/soccer. You don't have to do it, but it's so much more fun when you do. Also a few people do it as bragging and be all like a douche about it, but most people mean it in a fun way.
I beat it on legendary by myself, not as hard as it was let on to be. Here is a tip to all that are having trouble with the very last part manning the gun, I jumped off of the gun to avoid getting killed, waited for the big ship to get in position then jumped on the gun and blasted it real quick, it was very helpful seeing the game saved my check point where I had to kill the finial elite every time before I could try the gun sequence again. Awesome game, now I can finially focus on the MP.
Absolutely love this game. Definitely one of my favorite games of the year so far. Whoever wants to play with me, my gamertag is in my profile (xXMisterVIRUSXx).
Do not click spoiler if you did not finish the game. [spoiler] What happened to Jun, the sniper spartan? He gets on a chopper/pelican with dr halsey and then we see no more of him [/spoiler]
[QUOTE="scorch-62"][QUOTE="chaoscougar1"] hm? do you mean the elite skin?mitu123
I think he means the map. Pretty much this, should had been more specific.:P
Also to all: Halo Reach Servers down
I was playing reach last night til like 4am PST and had no issues. I haven't booted it up today but i am pretty sure some peeps on my list are playing it right now.
