Has anyone had trouble unlocking the 'If they came to hear me beg' achievement? I managed to get it on my first Heroic playthrough, but damn it took a long time.

I got it with Kanluwen (pretty sure that is his dakka name ) - took us a while but we were just messing around doing it. Actually did it a couple of times before I got the achievement on the 3rd assassination.

Oi!

We learnt that Spartans do bounce, so it was all perfectly acceptable!

RED BUSH!

Hehe.

Also, since it was lost at the bottom of the last page, here is a link to a map I made. Still WIP, but the basics of it are done, and the red base is pretty much finished structurally.

Had one download since I added it last night though. Any comments, let me know

We still need to finish Wartorn.

Wartorn? (May be being thick here )

Wait - was that your map we played on?

Haha yep! With the MG nests and the giant landmine bouncey thing!

It was me who DL it! Pretty good, make a gametype please. Has anybody checked mine yet?...

You have not got any maps in your fileshare as far as I am aware, so we can't download it.

Is there any way someone could consolidate the gamertags posted in this thread into a single post? I want to search for some of yours but I am rather lazy . I think SilverMK2 and Kanluwen yours are the same as your Dakka ones? (As is mine, assuming gamertags are not case-sensitive...)

Ri - Tags dont suffer from case mate, so thats no problem
Whats everyone play? (playlist wise)

I might go for a few games at some point, once i get more live that is lol.

I got it, really enjoying rumble pit at the moment (same as in Halo 3)

I've done the assassination at least 10 times now, finally had the forethought to record a couple of clips as evidence last two times too, still no achievement for me though.

Remember that it has to be the air-to-ground assassination animation. IIRC, it's the one where you knock the Elite over and snap his neck with your feet.

Random question: Why does everyone have so much trouble with the Halo 2 jackal snipers on legendary? All you have to do is hide behind something, pop up, snipe one, duck down again, wait for them to fire their random shots, pop up again, shoot another one, etc. Pretty easy, although it can be time consuming.

There are a couple of threads with people's usernames on them:

You would have to trawl through them, but most people are there. If you want to combine everyone into one post, feel free

My GT is the same as my username, Kanluwen's is not though.

Nor shall it ever be!

I was trying to remake Gephyrophobia earlier, but there isn't much room out over the ocean. I really don't want it to be as small as Narrows.

Oh, and Kat is now my waifu. That accent is hot.

Me and a friend were playing on overlook. when we just destroyed att the enemies we were heading back to the bunker. Right when i ran to it a drop pod dropped RIGHT NEXT to me. the other fun part is my friend loves using a plasma pistol to take down vehicles. The overcharge it awesome.

That's the animation I have had every time save the one.

And here I was hoping to rope you into doing that! Now the initiative is back on me... well played, good sir... well played.

I finally be Legendary solo. Yeah. Reach is definitely harder than Halo 3 for me. I'd have to replay CE and 2 to compare.

Holy gak, Legendary is insane. I was playing Exodus last night and I'm stuck at the end of the mission. I've activated the two missile batteries, but I can't get to the control room due to the insane amount of Skirmisher snipers, Chieftains and Ghosts.

I was literally ready to put my fist through the screen at one point. This is nuts!

The sad part is that Exodus is one of the easier missions, at least for me. The lack of elites is a big difference The most painful is by far the last actual mission, the very last bit where you're defending the platform and then when you have to face four zealots. So painful.

I think Brutes are much harder to face than Elites if you don't have a DMR or Needle Rifle. They can apparently kill you with a single melee attack and their spikers are ludicrously accurate.

Regular brutes do not have shields that need to 2 sticks to be removed. I rest my case.

I think I can count the times I died because of brutes on legendary on my hands.

Where as for elites... I'd need to be one hell of a mutant...

Elites can kill you with the single mele kick as well. Reach is deffinitly harder then the others which is a good thing, even the Grunts are a bit tougher now. I am having trouble hijacking a banshee though, anyone got any advice? which level and such?

I for one am also very happy that you don't face the Flood in this one. I knew from the story line that The Flood woulden't be in the game but once I played it and realised I didn't have to play through a single narrativly pointless mission filled with alien zombies I was very happy

Do 'The Package.' When you get to the section with the spider turrets and you have to hold the door, you can get a jump pack. There will be two banshees in the air. The level advances by killing enemies, so you can have an almost infinite amount of time to try and jump pack up and grab one of the banshees while the rest of noble holds off the enemy AI (they're actually useful for once). Wait for the banshees to start a strafing run and try to jump pack to them and hijack the bugger. It may take a few tries as they don't always fly in a way that makes hijacking them easy but eventually you'll get a good shot at it.

I for one am also very happy that you don't face the Flood in this one. I knew from the story line that The Flood woulden't be in the game but once I played it and realised I didn't have to play through a single narrativly pointless mission filled with alien zombies I was very happy

Agreed. I never much liked the flood levels on legendary. Especially the war crime that was Cortanna. So painfully annoying.

Or just use a Plasma Pistol on a Banshee and jack that sucker.

Hardest mission for me had to be mission 4 (nightfall?) Had to take out 2 turrets, 1 elite and 3 brutes with my barehands on legendary. I swear I was ready to go outside and shotgun a crowd.

have to say though the sword is probably the most useful thing vs elites and brutes it saved me so many times.
