With that said, Clantac will need some really creative forgers when Reach comes out.

[ThievishDante]

wow..that looks sweet. I'm actually pretty excited about reach now lol. I'm so glad they fixed all the clunky forge movements and made fusing objects a tool. I can't wait to see what people make with this

[ElementFX]

that is sick

[huffy6581]

I cant wait for

Forge World

Fire Fight Versus Mode

500 Games of Tower Of Power On Ascension

[I Brea Cheese I]

I just can't wait for the whole freakin game! <3 Bungie <3

[huffy6581]

Tower Of Power Reach Ladder 8vs8.

[I Brea Cheese I]

Haha, tower of power... that game was the best, at least now no one can just super bounce to the top, I hated that =P

[st_ZION]

i hate all games like that lol mike myers, zombies etc. zombies used to be really fun but just got kinda old

[I Brea Cheese I]

Zombies on H2 was amazing... I remember we would play on foundation and use the blocks around the place to build walls in front of the bases =P Some of the best times on H2 I remember was playing zombies =P My friends and I used to just make up stupid games like that to play instead of actually playing the game, which is why H2 is the best =P

[st_ZION]

yea on H2 it was sick as hell but it got old after a while. tower of power just pissed me off cause you would just die instantly.

[WILDWAYNE001]

Yeah I really can't wait for this game!

[huffy6581]

Does Anyone rememember halo 2 lockout Hide and Seek that was that SHIT.

[st_ZION]

na i dont. was it like tag?

[huffy6581]

No One Person was the jugurnaught (lol sp?) everyone else was invisible.
The Jug. would have 3X Overshield and Could Run And Jump Very Fast.
Everyone Else Was Invisible with radar so they would know then the Jug. was near them.

Everone would go to their best hiding spots on lockout and hide from the jugurnaut.

You only had one life. per round

[I Brea Cheese I]

Cat and Mouse = Greatest Game

[st_ZION]

i remember now. that was a fun game

[I Brea Cheese I]

Yea, but it was even better with my friends. We used to play "hardcore" (just what we called it, it was pretty funny) where we would purposely rush the wraiths and use the hills to gap them all the time, it was pretty intense and would irritate them like crazy =P

lmao im sure that sounds really dirty and confusing to someone who doesn't know halo lingo.

[I Brea Cheese I]

haha, whatever... it was still awesome =D

[Battlehardend]

looks 2 long i think

[Battlehardend]

looks 2 long i think

[I Brea Cheese I]

looks too long?

[DJZivmovic]

I used to play alot of Zombies and shit until Halo 3's first year. Got real old.

I can't wait for Reach, gonna be the last amazing game for 360.

Gears 3 will be sick, but not as good as reach. Black Ops will just be MW2 again.And then the 720. xD

[st_ZION]

if you think black ops will be like MW2 then you are clueless as to the franchise.

[I Brea Cheese I]

I'm interested to see how black ops turns out. I was never a fan of MW2 multiplayer, hopefully I'll enjoy black ops more.

[DJZivmovic]

if you think black ops will be like MW2 then you are clueless as to the franchise.

No, not like the game gamplay wise. It will just be overhyped. There will be too many power wepons, and it will die just as quickly as MW did. Example: Knife Launcher. WTF?!?

[I Brea Cheese I]

lmfao, a knife launcher? thats retarded... but kind of cool in its own crazy way =P

[st_ZION]

its just hyped up so big cause MW2 had problems with balance like commando, UMP, OMA and noob tubing that this is the game that people are looking to to correct those things. and unlike Infinity Ward, Treyarch cares about its fanbase and does a pretty good job of fixing things. i think black ops from the footage that has been seen and the developers that are making it have a good reason for the game to be so hyped.

i could say the same about reach after playing the beta there was so many problems with it that the game is way overhyped and is just going to be another H3 or ODST flop.

the knife launcher is something like a projectile knife gun. it looks cool but shouldnt be too over powered. the gameplay is a lot more like COD4 from what i have seen and that is a good thing.

[Trigger XXX]

I will always fall back on this saying... Most people say there are problems with a weapon or powerup if they die by it and don't want to learn how to combat it. So they rather the developer fix it where they can win 98% of the time...

There really wasn't that many flaws with Reach. Grenade strength- it's 2552... frags should be extremely powerful since we are still using them... DMR clip was small whoopdeedoo. MW2, noob tubs are annoying yes. Long range their asses and shoot them before they see you and fire it off. Quicker trigger means longer lifespan. Black Ops is going to have the MW2 flaws fixed. Reach will have the Halo 3 flaws removed.

If the future titles didn't have anything new (weapons, powerups, features, etc.) then they might as well keep releasing new maps. Who is going to buy MW2.5 or Halo 3.5 ??? Releasing the same old game is stupid. If people don't like the new stuff, stay on the old game. Don't play the new one and complain about the new changes and how it isn't "halo" anymore or how this game is trying to be like that game. New game, new weapons that have different rates of fire, mag sizes, and power, new maps, new features such as loadouts and power ups, etc.

Most of the problems are with the players who got used to something and don't like change and rather the new game be an expansion pack of the other one but then complain that it's the same game.... No one is ever happy in the end..

I will buy Reach and respect the new play style as it is and play it. I will buy Black Ops and respect the new weapons and play style (did anyone else notice you can dive in black ops now? watch the trailer closely) and have fun playing it.
They are new games. They will have new features that will make them DIFFERENT from the previous game otherwise the new game would be an EPIC fail since it would be the same damn thing which would be BORING.

[I Brea Cheese I]

Trigger, you've eerily almost said exactly what I just did on another post... totally agreed.

[Trigger XXX]

I hear so many people complain about omg assault rifle when the person with the BR decided to go close range with their opponent who happened to be wielding an assault rifle. BR vs AR close range = AR win. BR vs Shotgun close range = Shotgun. BR vs Sniper Rifle long range = sniper. Sniper vs assault rifle close range = assault rifle. It depends on the distance and the weapon you are holding vs your opponent. People (MLG overly competitive players) think that if you are not as good as them you might as well be able to kill them fast and they shouldn't even have a chance no matter what they are using and if they are able to kill you with something, it should be weakened so they will always win... I hate that. Each weapon is different for a reason. Each one is made for a different situation. Get over it.

[I Brea Cheese I]

Which is why I'm glad that reach is like that. It will drive away all the try-hard complainers...

[st_ZION]

um actually there is such things as over powered weapons. there is such things as flaws in a game. that is why people cant wait for the release of the next genre of the game so that the flaws do get fixed and they make a more balanced game overall. it has nothing to do with not knowing how to combat the weapon that a guy can run up behind you with.

ill go as far to say that im the best COD player on this site and there is nothing special you can do to combat OMA noob tubing, or UMP etc there is no special tactics just like combating marathon. are you really going to tell me that that kinda stuff doesnt need to be balanced out a bit? some guy just sitting at his spawn raining down infinite noob tubes on your team? or a guy who is dead to rights but lunges 15 ft to kill you with a knife becoming superman in the process? or the UMP which has more damage than an AR in the game and less fall off on damage over distance than an AR and less kick than most AR's. that doesnt seem unbalanced?

and yeah the grenades were too powerful and the clip size was way to small. how much sense does it make to have a 5 shot weapon (generally more shots than that) with only 12 bullets? they keep making the main weapon less and less of what it should be. i dont care if you think i am complaining or not its stuff like that that a lot of people hinge buying the game on and i know a couple personally that are not buying it because of that. not everyone buys games for the campaign A LOT of people buy it just for the multiplayer cause thats what gives games a long shelf life. and if multiplayer is unbalanced or whatever then the game is broken. so ill complain all i want

[Trigger XXX]

It wasn't directed at you, it was a general rant to all players that complain about the simple things.
