Oh man, that sounds like so much fun. Wouldn't it be so great if the whole playlist were like that?

I agree. Why on Halo (Reach) did Bungie change the visual flair of Invasion?

Posted in that thread again. It's rather long-winded.

Supported your post Warsaw. My first post on bnet in over 4 years. Ugh. I feel dirty.

That's only, like, my fifth post on Bnet. Ever.

Someone should kidnap frankie.

You don't have to demand anything, but if you do, please demand they fix the invasion team indicator BULLSHIT.

So yeah, volunteers to kidnap frankie? I'm sure all you would need to do is leave a trail of Starbucks coffee from his car to an open black van, that's primed and ready to make a speedy escape.

There's too many fucking weapons in Reach, and so many (like the DMR) that are just unnecessary. The 'balance' could easily be a lot better if they just narrowed down the huge list of weapons and made the remaining ones less situational.

Keep:
Assault Rifle
Plasma Pistol
Plasma Repeater
Needler
Pistol
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun (<3)
Rocket Launcher
Fuel Rod Cannon

Fake E: Wait...isn't that the Halo 1 lineup?

Agreed but screw the Plasma Repeater. That thing is fugly. Just use the regular PR design but make it behave more like the Repeater.

But I like the look of the Repeater! D:

The Concussion Rifle/Brute Shot (though I prefer the Concussion Rifle) was a good addition though as well as the Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer. And the Needle Rifle is great too, since it gives that Medium-Long ranged ability to the Covenant in Elite Slayer and Invasion games.

And if I had to choose between the looks of the Repeater and the Plasma Rifle, I think I'd take the Plasma Rifle since it's the original, even though I love the Repeater as well.
