It's because years ago I decided to never play a game on the lowest difficulty again unless it was for a fun run with friends.

EVERY game I buy, will be completed on the hardest available difficulty in my first go.

Honestly though, I mostly get the hang of a game in the first mission and steamroll any non gimmicky battles.

Actually, I've done a speed run on halo 1 with a mate, without firing, took us about 4,5 hours to run through the entire gaming using only melee and grenades

The only thing we fired was rocket launchers to get to "secret"spots. Like the banshee in mission 5.

Hahah I remember doing that with my friend... just skipping through all the levels.

So, been playing a lot of multiplayer in between GoW3 and SM... can't wait for the TU making bloom less annoying.

I love losing to some spamming scrub because his random bullets randomly hit me and my random bullets don't randomly hit him. Give me the Halo2 BR back please.

Oh yea, and the new maps that are coming on the anniversary disk look AMAZING. I hope I'll actually be able to play them as opposed to, y'know, the damn DLC maps that are NEVER in rotation.

Best Halo game currently for me

I like Reach but its my first ever Halo so im still pretty bad, its only recently my K/D has started to be mostly positive. There is not a day that goes by I do not Hate armour lock. Its fun but I do find multiplayer ruthlessly competitive. Its hard for someone like me to "relax" while playing, unlike other FPS/TPS games like Space Marine.

I totally agree with you there and I also go with the same for CoD and DOW retribution.

I've played it at friends house's and I liked it's just a shame they wouldn't bring it out for a better consol Like the PS3...

Halo has a number of fun to play game modes - but it also helps if you play with a group of like minded people

I do occasionally muck around on action sack and the like, however griff ball and hockey doesn't do wonders for your K/D. I thought since day one that there should be several "practice leagues" divided up according to rank, instead of throwing fresh warrant officers in with the generals and mythics.

The rank matching in Halo 3 was a lot tighter than in Reach it has to be said.

But if you are interested in some games, send me a friend request. I play with a number of other people from dakka and we usually play for fun.

Halo Reach got me back into loving the Halo series, I wasn't overly impressed with Halo 3, but now I've got all (apart from Halo 2) and doing them through Legendary. Can't wait for the remake of the original to be released

2 was the best halo game IMO, reach was...not their best game, but not the worst (see halo:ODST)

Halo ODST was the best one since h2 IMO. 1 Is still the best though. IMHO.

New Beta hoppers out tomorrow, I'll be rolling in them for sure with 85% bloom. Hopefully it will actually make the DMR reliable at its intended range.

Wish they had of just kept the damn BR just like 2 and 3 though, more like 2 would be preferable.

You mean where you aim at their torso and hit their head due to the damn aim assist?

No, more like they press their trigger faster than me and get lucky with their bloom at mid-close range, while I get unlucky with my bloom and then lose. Random bloom is random; pacing is ineffective at mid-close range if you're fighting someone who just gets lucky with spamming their trigger.

But yea, they need to turn down the bullet-magnetism for headshots as well, although if you already have the DMR bloomed out, you might just be getting lucky with your shot and its hitting the head. I'd be happier with zero-bloom tbh, but that might be a bit ridiculous on big maps.

I LOVE REACH
REACH =AWSOME

I have to admit, I really miss some things from 3... like the equipment. I found that to be much more flavorful and better, imo, than armor abilities. Except maybe sprint, I like having that. I'd trade all the other armor abilities to have equipment back though.

Oh and I miss the BR, but more like the Halo2 BR than the Halo3 BR (too much spread), kinda liked the travel time though, even though it was kind of lame sometimes.

New beta playlists are up, will report later on how they are.

Wow, ZB slayer is pretty crazy, but I like it.

Don't know how ZB would work on BTB, might be kinda broken there; but I mean it would be kind of analogous to Halo2 right? The BR in that was hitscan with little spread... I never seemd to have to much of a problem. I wonder if they could change the DMR to a 2x zoom instead of 3x, that might make it better for BTB and other big maps.

Really like how the new bleed-through on melee works now, much better than what they did before; it actually makes sense.

Armor lock is still annoying, but not quite as bad.

Love the game and the multiplayer and above all I love assassinations. Six in one game wasn't too bad.
