Awesome. Thanks for the info spectral. Im excited about more ZB games, I have played ten games straight before and never got a ZB gametype. It was becoming frustrating to say the least. O yea, I dont own any reach DLC but have heard the complaints about never getting dlc maps in game. This should make some people happy.

I dont understand? Quiting matchmaking is the biggest issue. You leave your team mates out to dry and give them a loss usually. It should be punished, if you want to play with your friends then finish the game you started first. I dont get your way of thinking, maybe im misunderstanding you. Sorry if I am

I play H3 almost everyday. As for Odst, no thanks. Im a multiplayer kind of guy so I love h2 and h3.

I think so, we can play regular xbox games on the 360 so the technology is there. Plus the 360 is capable of 1080p and 5.1 dolby so it will still be a "High Tech" system when the 720 comes out. More so than the xbox vs the 360.

No offense but I dont wanna play classic maps on reach anymore. They don't play well at all because of AA's. It ruins my old memories of maps. Lets put them in halo 4 if anything, although I would like all original maps for H4.

Never seen this either. 2 weeks away!

You know the halo 2 beta/demo had the BR in it and it was three shot burst but if you zoomed in it became a single shot weapon. It actually worked pretty good but they canned it for some reason. I personally like 3 round burst at all times but I could deal with this.

Death island is not going to ship with anniversary. We only get 7 maps and they are: Beaver Creek(will be known as Battle Canyon), Damnation(Pennace), Hang Em High(High Noon), Prisoner(Solitary), Headlong(Breakneck), Timberland(Ridgeline), and a firefight map called Installation 04

I personally think reach armors looks retarded, its somekind of ugly spartan armor on a noble six team member so its not even Master chief. Just doesn't look right to me. I hope they leave the reach armor behind, pretty sure they will. This is a sequal to halo 3 not that reach garbo, thank god.

You make a good point about it taking along time to get this game working on the 360 but I think if 343 wanted to they could make it happen. Im not as smart as you when it comes to the technical aspect of all this but couldnt they use the halo 3 engine? Halo 2 and halo 3's game physics are much more similar versus halo 1 and reach. As i said i really have no idea if that would/could work but i do know Bungie's half assed game turned out to be my favorite of the franchise lol. It is the sole reason im playing xbox today and not playstation. The online multiplayer experience was amazing to say the least man. I played for hours on end almost everyday for years lol. Met a bunch of cool people from all around the world that i still play games with on xbox live today. All the halo 2 button glitches and bounces made the game even that much more interesting. We spent hours bouncing out of maps and butterflying to the top of buildings etc..it was awesome. I know the xbox 360 version would probably be almost impossible to implement all the glitches and bounces from the game but i would love to be able to play halo 2 mulitplayer online again with or without the glitches. I dont see why they wouldnt remake halo 2, why leave one single halo game off of the xbox 360? It just doesnt make sense to me leaving the second halo installment all alone on the original xbox. It practically started xbox live which kind of demolished ps2's online system at the time. I have my fingers crossed for a remake, halo 1 being remade gives me hope!

You would think the best halo game is garbage lol. campaign wasnt the best but halo2 multplayer was epic. I like halo for its multiplayer, i mean thats what sells me on every halo game. i dont buy it to play through the campaign, thats just a bonus. What exactly would be your perfect halo game? I am curious to know becaues you praise reach but hate on every other halo from what i have seen in your posts. Did your "halo career" start with halo reach or something?

THIS^

I totally agreee man, nice post choot em. I just wanna play a real halo game again. If it wasnt for h3 still having somewhat of a population I guess I would be SOL until halo 4 gets here. But yes please god give us a ranking system like h2 or h3. We need to separate the competitive and social gamers. Maybe there wouldn't be so many people quiting out of games , granted this will still happen because of idiots but not nearly as much. As for forge maps having their own playlist, PLEASE! Im so sick of seeing the same color maps over and over when I play reach. I could go on and on about this but the separate playlist for forge maps should definitely exist in h4 and would even be an "easy" fix for reach.

Lol sweet, maybe ill rent it then.

Ok missy im definitely done talking about this lol. No point

Wow, best game ever? If its anything like the beta then I disagree. It was really fun dont get me wrong but not even close to best game ever. However, it may be the best REALISTIC military shooter game I have played behind Black Ops, because of the graphics and multiplayer. I may have to rent this game to check the changes since the beta was a bit buggy.

Its self explanatory, AA's give you an extra ability at the start of the game just like perks do in cod. Do we agree on that? Ok, as for AA's breaking maps there are plenty of examples and I actually gave you one? I grew up playing halo and I'm guessing you didnt play competitively at all so you dont understand how map control works in halo. Reach doesn't appeal to competitive halo fans because its impossible to keep map control and play the game like we have learned to over the past ten years. You can't get in the flow of the game at all. Just when things start to feel like halo a jetpack or AL or camping camo guy show up out of nowhere and you have to start over again. I'm not saying I die by the guy every time but it does happen, its distracting from the map gameplay and its annoying. My problem is you plain and simply can't control a map anymore. There is a reason why mlg doesn't use any garbage AA's except sprint. Its boring to watch because its just chaos with AA's and no strategy. Im sure you will find an issue with my opinions but thats ok, I have officially "explained my thoughts".

Ditto, we EXPLAIN to her why we dislike something and she comes back with statements like " I would like for you to explain your reasoning behind these thoughts". Well wtf did I just post lol? I dont have anything against you either mystic but it seems like your closed minded to the subject of reach and AA's. I dont think anyone could change your views no matter how good the explanation. Your obviously biased in this matter so why even post on this thread? This is an AA complaint thread, not an AA praise and defend thread.

ill check it out when I get a chance. You should link a couple videos showing the difference so people that haven't seen it can post an opinion lol

Yes but maybe what we saw was odsts in firefight?odsts will be joining us in firefight now so maybe the clip I saw was the reach version of installation 04(halo anniversary firefight map). I dont remember seeing marines in any campaign videos I watched. You should link the videos you saw

Small issue if at all. Im sure they will have it right in the final copy. If not, it won't change how they react in game anyway so not a big deal in that respect. But yes, this is a remake so it shouldn't be totally different like this IMO. Could have something to do with the fact that they are using the reach game engine.

Wow alot of different policies on this matter. Glad you figured it out. I usually just hit walmart at midnight instead of pre order. Its alot quicker than a 200 man line outside game stop ha.

This second link is gameplay from high noon if you haven't seen it yet

Lol^^^. They know how much it is? Guess you misunderstand

Have you guys heard the halo anniversary firefight "news"? I.have been unable to confirm this but apparently you can play firefight with elites now. Not to mention the elite actually fight against the odst's. Ill try and find the video where I saw this. watch the installation 04 part of this video, its around 00:35
