Re: Halo: Reach Discussion
I hear that. Campaign doesn't have much replayability, as unfortunate as it is. One 6 hour playthrough on legendary felt like more than enough. With me, now it's just firefight and multiplayer.. Multiplayer's still pretty fun. Doing a little mini tourney with a friend of mine, it's a blast
Re: Halo: Reach Discussion
The only reason I keep playing Campaign every now and then is to work on my commendations...but that's gonna slow soon; almost got most of the ones that matter to at least gold. You should really get more credits for playing Campaign. I don't get why you don't, since you can't modify the gameplay variables like you can in FF Customs. Instead I have to hop into co-op MM if I want to go above the 100cR cap for game complete.
Also, the 1 Set FF matches take FOREVER when it's just you and some other person. Well, regular variants anyway. I've only played Rocket/Sniper Fight with 3+ people. The 1 Set FF variants make people quitting hurt all the more. I don't think the game scales back down either (in difficultly) to account for the now MIA douche bag "spartan"(s) either.
Re: Halo: Reach Discussion
Korn, you do realize that you aren't even getting credits for Silver+ commendations, right? Why not wait to grind out those commendations when you actually get credits for it?
But anyway, this campaign is pretty weak and not that fun. It has good, adequate levels (and a few duds as in every Halo game), but nothing great. And as I said before, Heroic can be too punishing/frustrating (both in Campaign and FF), and Normal is too boring to even have a consistently fun difficulty to play at. It's easily the weakest campaign in the series.
(I'd rather play Reach than Halo 2, because Halo 2 feels like crap, but Halo 2 definitely has a well-designed campaign.)
Re: Halo: Reach Discussion
Well that explains a lot. They still give you the commendation kicker when you gain a new level though...when the hell are they going to remove that fucking lame commendation capper? They should have just done it for the commendations which are actually easily farmed with that's what they're getting their goddamn panties in a bunch over.
Rank cap...fine, in the end I still get the rank due to my cRs still counting. But no cRs for silver+ commendations period (except when you hit a new level) is just wrong. Especially if they're not talking about why/when/how/etc about it. Yep, let's release a game then take all our 'oshi-' moments and cap them like a leaky dam! [/iMad].
I haven't seen any talk about the silver+ capping in any BWUs (only rank). I remember Limited briefly mentioning it...but I thought he meant the kickers didn't pay out. So basically they're keeping hush hush, so I get to play ignorant baboon end-user and call the player investment team "pussy asshole farts". Queef them.
Re: Halo: Reach Discussion
I like Countdown. It could be my favorite map.
I don't know if anyone's ever played it, but non-moving KOTH on Countdown with hologram loadouts is the funniest shit I've played in Reach. I had a party of 12 people playing, and it was insane.
Re: Halo: Reach Discussion
Holograms in general are funny.
Re: Halo: Reach Discussion
BTB Snipers with holograms is extremely entertaining.
Re: Halo: Reach Discussion
I really wish that we would get a medal if someone kills/destroys your hologram. Would be just as satisfying as getting a Rejection medal IMO.

I stopped earning progress towards Campaign Commendations
You can earn up to the Silver level of Campaign Commendations outside of matchmaking. After that, you will need to play Campaign in matchmaking to make any further progress.
And apparently that doesn't even work, according to some guys at HBO.
EDIT: And stop voting for Hemmorage Slayer, you jackasses!

Also there needs to be a reward for returning the core on invasion.
