It's out next week! I'll be downloading it as soon as I get home from school (or possibly early in the morning; I'm not very good with timezones). Headhunter should be awesome, and it's great to finally see Elites that are different from SPARTANS in multiplayer.

They're huge! Huge like Xbox!



And the ViDocs are great. I'm really looking foward to this!

You don't 'sign up'. You just have to download it from the ODST main menu.

I wonder if Reach will be any more relaxed in multiplayer. I get the feeling my Halo 3 record isn't too good... better check Bungie.net. BRB.

Hmm. 1.12 ranked K/D ratio and 1.30 social K/D ratio. Bugger.

Halo can be less in your face on some game modes than others.

And I'm "Ranked K/D Ratio: 0.99", "Social K/D Ratio: 0.95", so don't worry

I hope some of the achivements (particularly the 'kill X players with Y in Z seconds' ones) are easier to get this time around. I've been struggling to get Steppin' Razor so I can unlock the Ascetic helmet (because I've been using the Assault helmet for ages), but I honestly don't see how I'm supposed to get a triple kill with an energy sword in a Lone Wolves game.

Hell, I can't even get the Triple Kill achievement with a goddamn rocket launcher or grenade spam.

I loled at the pie chart showing how many of your game is social/custom/campain/ranked.

Atleast 80% of mine is custom and 2.1k matches out of the 3.5k matches I've played are custom.

It's because I'm not on XBL whenever I turn on my 'box. I have to plug it into my modem with an ethernet cable, and that cuts out the internet for everyone else in the house. I'm not wasting $120 on a wireless adapter when I can get a better, cheaper connection directly from my modem.

OR you can buy a wireless network adapter for the house and run an ethernet cable from the modem to the WNA and a second cable to the xbox itself.

I have a 120 ft ethernet cable that goes from my Alcatel DSL to my 360.

Why bother? I get a crazygood connection from my ethernet cable.

Speaking of which, does anyone know how large the beta download will be?

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

I don't have ODST myself (AARGGGHHH why couldn't I spend 40 euros?) but I really want to play the Beta. I'd better stop chewing off my own fingertips out of anticipation and get me some money. Since I just started a Halo clan I'd better get the Beta (y'know, a clan without a leader's... odd.). I'm looking forward to perhaps playing with some of you guys?

Hmmm, I have ODST but no X-Box Live. I'm tempted to disconnect the computer and redeem one of those 2-day trials you get with pretty much any game.

While I wait to decide, it is entertaining to watch some of my Halo 3-playing friends denounce Reach as the death of Halo. Some of them seem quite adamant that Reach will never take off.

Really? First time I'm hearing that. What are their arguments/reasons for thinking so?

I however think Halo 3 is the worst in the series. XD

The reason i play halo 3 still is because of the crazy and out of the world deaths you can get. i hope those stay in reach.
