Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
What do you guys think of the armor customization? Nothing looks good to me. I'm sure there will be better stuff in the retail, but it all just looks so amateur. One of these helmets has a joker grin and everyone's footwear has caution tape on it. Sloppy, lazy, unappealing stuff. Also, where do the emblems go? Also, also, I still am unhappy with the available emblem options. Are we that afraid of penis emblemss that we can't have any creative freedom? [/fashion police]
GT: Echo Ten
Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
The only reason I can figure the feet have the caution tape is because they were prototype armor. And I think it's silly that the emblem isn't on the shoulder pad like normal... : /
Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
Emblems are stupid anyways.
The only time you really notice them is in the pre-game lobby.

Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
I liked to see them on my armor so I could tell myself from the other players when i took a picture...

i cant say for sure, but if i remember correctly in halo ce if two different weapons fired the same .projectile, they could combine for the superdetonation. that means next to nothing at this point though, so idk...
Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
The needle rifle and needler shoot different .projectiles; you can tell because they have different speeds, attachments, and their associated .damage_effects have different properties.
So, no.
Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
Also on the topic of emblems, they've taken out the Marathon emblem :(
Re: The Upcoming: Halo Reach
1 flag CTF on Swordbase is the most broken thing I have ever seen. If the attackers have decent flag guards, then it's the easiest thing to do to take the flag to the grav lift and launch it up the capture point, waiting for someone to quick cap it. I had a round last 30 seconds. What the fuck man.

Possible remedy is allowing the flag recovery to go faster the more team mates you have around it.
I hate anything with flags in this game. 1 flag on Sword Base is BULLSHIT. If the people are playing are halfway intelligent, the flag will be taken within 3 seconds of the game starting and up the lift to the score zone within 10. 1 flag on Powerhouse is the exact opposite. It's virtually impossible to flush all the defenders out of their base, and by the time you do, there's usually 30 seconds left in the game. Then they start spawning behind you and camping your score zone.
