I'm finding it much more difficult than H2 or 3 to get multikills beyond doubles. I must just still suck at this game."


So far I've only managed 1 overkill and a couple of triples. The timing between kills seems tighter in this game.

The 1 overkill was an active camo assassination spree.

the timing for multi-kills seems to have gone from 4 seconds between kills to like 2 seconds or less. If you fire one rocket and kill someone, by the time you've fired the next rocket you're almost too late for a double kill

The best double kills are when you get the YOINK metal for killing someone about to be assassinated and then kill the would be assassinator right after

I love the DMR.

It's all about the headshots for me. I usually have the most headshots in the game and the least grenade or melee (or body) kills. SWAT is one of my favorite gametypes (just not on Hemorrhage).

Spawning with the pistol is great, because I have a good headshot weapon to use before I can trade out the AR for a DMR.

The BR was always great in H2 and H3, but I think the DMR is more satisfying to use.

I love Hemorrage...well depending on the game-type at least.

I wish you could choose whatever loadout you want in the Sniper gametype...

Hemorrhage needs to have the Plasma Launcher in the middle replaced with either the Rocket Launcher or the Spartan Laser, right now the Scorpion dominates too much. An extra plasma pistol or two on the map would help as well.

I still love the map, it's always been the epitome of Big Team Battle for me, tons of vehicles on an open field.

SWAT shouldn't be played on Hemorrhage. And I'll be glad when SWAT moves to its own playlist in a week or two.

I like the plasma launcher...fun little addition to the game. I giggle every time a I stick someone with a homing plasma grenade. I havent taken out anything larger than a warthog with the the PL...does it take more than the full charge (4 grenades) to take down a scorpion?

It's still 4 seconds in multiplayer (2 seconds in Campaign and Firefight). I think previous games may have given a little wiggle room to that 4 seconds, kind of a host-granted grace period. Reach's tighter netcode may have reduced that wiggle room.

Not a fan of this matchmaking. If I wanted to play Snipers or Swat there should be a seperate playlist. I want to play regular slayer, thats why I clicked SLAYER.

^I think you're probably right. The voting system is kind of fun, but there should be concessions made to those that just want to play certain gametypes constantly (big team battle is the worst with objective ans slayer games all tossed together). We should be able to choose a little more discerningly what games we want to play.

Case in point I was trying to finish off the assist challenge from yesterday and had managed to get to 12 assists...then the last two hours I played no matter how many times I switched lobbies all anyone voted on was fucking SWAT and the occasional Snipers. Impossible to get any kind of assist with those game types.

So in MW2 we "mount up" do you think for Reach we should "Reach Out"?

Yes, sometime next week (or the week after at the latest) SWAT will be made into its own playlist.

They are also going to "tidy up" the Team Slayer playlist.

As well as make some more balance changes and such (adding 2 more Forge World maps).

I was just about to come in here and rant about the DMR and SWAT. Not really sure why they thought this would go well in Slayer especially after the massive success of Shotty Snipers in 3.

Fun times last night in BTBs with Sik and Joooo and then afterwards with Herp.

I'm scrounging together my points because aparently if you buy all the base versions of all the helmets you unlock a variant of one of them that replaces your visor with a skull...its good to have goals!

I was thinking 150k to be able to use Master Chief's voice... I dunno - What is actually useful in multiplayer?

Nothing is supposed to be useful in multiplayer, its just ingame accolades to show off how much you play. For myself, I would save up a ton and buy the death effects. That or a voice...probably the girl voice just to fuck with people

^^ after warrant officers, the ranking up is much faster, only 23 between captain grades and 25 between major grades. he was probably a credit booster anyway

^^Everytime I play BTB, everyone votes for Snipers. There's only been one non sniper btb that I've played. It was super fun but not worth wading through all the sniper bullshit.

The exact date is unknown, but it should be within 4-10 days. I'm guessing next Monday. They're already planning on having a second playlist update in October, so I imagine they'll push this one as early as possible.

- SWAT and Snipers will be taken out of the Team Slayer playlist and put in a new one.

- The Scorpion on Hemorrhage will be replaced by a Wraith.

- The Drop Shield will be replaced with Evade in most of the objective gametypes.

- A soft-kill volume (return to battlefield) will be placed in the space section of Zealot in Arena games.

There are other changes, but these are the important ones (that I can remember, at least).

I'm glad they will quarantine Swat... it seems much worse in Reach with bloom and random nonsense.

Not to mention with the autoaim and oversized hitboxes for headshots its really easy to get a kill... so many tradeoff kills.

Cannot fucking wait for this update. SWAT is by far the worst game mode in the game. It completely defeats the purpose of playing Halo. And I never expected a spawn system this bad in a Halo game.

^The key, I've noticed, to the spawn system is to use the D-pad to "follow" another teammate during the respwn countdown, and then you'll usually respawn near them

alright, so, i know that most people probably don't care what my thoughts are on this game, but i am going to post them anyways to see if my opinions change the more i play.

i have been a long time halo fan. i really enjoyed playing 1, 2, and 3 (campaign and multiplayer). i really didn't like odst, so i switched over to mw2. when reach came out, i picked back up on halo. i have given reach several nights of playing, and i am going to place reach in the same category as odst. the campaign is really weak, and the multiplayer is the worst. i feel like i am having to force myself to play this game, and haven't really enjoyed it, at all.

i'm not done trying, and i hope the halo love comes back like a majority of you guys have...but, right now, i'm not feeling it.

Im feeling the exact same way. I was a huge Halo fan when 1,2, and 3 came out and played the MP a ton but Im just not feeling this one very much. I dont know if Ive been spoiled by MW2 or if Halo gameplay is not the same but I havent wanted to play this game much after finishing the campaign (finished Legendary solo the other day). My favorite MP game is Invasion because you dont get SWAT.
