I like that option. I hated it in Halo 3 when there was a map I had been playing all night, so it gets voted only to be replaced by an even tier map.
This way we can vote for a map we want, and if it doesn't happen, you can always vote for another set of maps and games.
It's a nice twist.
No the maps not the problem, it's the diffrent modes. For instance you pick team slayer but then you will have 3 different choices. Say SWAT, SKULLS, whatever... maybe classic slayer but no one votes that. So instead of playing just team slayer you have to play team slayer with an objective other than killing the other team.
I can see that. It should be more like Halo 3 in that you can pick the mode, then go to the vote system for the map, or variations within the game mode. the ODST disc had different slayer modes like Fiesta Slayer and such. I can see that happening. Classic Slayer, Fiesta Slayer and so on and so forth.
i really like this game as far as MP is concerend. i haven't tried SP. i can't compare this game to Halo 2,3, and ODST because i never played those enough to judge them, esp. MP.
the only issue i have with the game is the voting system. numerous times it's happened to me where infection or safe haven (basically the same mode) gets voted 3 or 4 times in a row. i don't think they should have as an option a mode that you played prior. and then you can't back out once it's voted. that's bull . i paid 60$ for the game, i should be able to back out whenever the i want.
oh, and another problem i have is that some of the MP levels kind of suck. don't get me wrong, there are great ones, but some of them are stinkers. some of them just seem redundant, esp. the ones that are created with the forge architecture. hopefully the DLC makes up for that.
other than that, i really like the game.
So is this game worth it? I know a local privately owned gamestore that will give me 28$ for Red Dead and like 30 for Madden10/2k10 combined. I'm thinking about trading in to get Reach. I heard its awesome but some of you guys are saying the MP is bad.
Are the gun controls like HaloCE/ODST or is it like Halo 3?
just sign out of live and that will do all the work. you will be back in matchmaking. sign back in and good to go
amazon will give you 30 for RDR today by itslef.
i dont recomend the game. i dont like multiplayer. they really gimped the melee. its basically fire recklessly and hope the dmr gets a kill. everyone always votes the boring games like swat and camp heavy game like snipers. the campaign is nothing special but with 4 people its still fun.
i don't know what you like in games, but i recommend it. i think it's a blast. i never really played the other halo multiplayers, but from all that
s been said, there's more to this one. you can chose between classes jetpack, camo, hologram, shield, run in this one unlike the others, so you can play the game in a variety of ways.
menga mentioned the melee changed. i wouldn't know since i didn't play MP for the others, but i like the melee. it takes two hits to the front to kill someone. i personally don't see a problem with that... that's just me... afterall, this is a shooting game though and your guy has a bunch of armor on so one hit melee's (that's what i heard changed) would wouldn't make sense imo (although to the back of the head is one hit). i find nothing wrong with having to shoot a guy a bunch of times to kill him. reminds me of Goldeneye where emphasis was put on accuracy and how many shots you can get off.
like i said, mediocre level design on some levels and voting system is all that bring down this game imo. i rate it a 9.5/10
The only real difference is the melee button and the grenade switch button have changed. The right bumper activates your special power depending on the class you choose.
I'd say get it. If you like Halo multiplayer, you should like this one. I have a friend who hasn't tried it and is used to playing Hardcore on MW2. If you like MW2, you may not like Halo because of how hard it can be to kill someone compared to the few hits it takes to kill someone on Hardcore mode on MW2.
I love the new melee system there's nothing like sneaking behind someone and impaling them with the energy sword or knife, all you do is hold down the melee button to do this. (right bumper) It took me a while to figure this out.
One thing that turns me off in multiplayer is game seems to break down a lot, and have to find a new host, sometimes it tries and the game just goes back to the lobby. Seems to happen quite a bit more than I remember for Halo 3.
Firefight is so much fun. Me and 3 friends played in one room with two tv's and I haven't had so much fun with a video game in awhile. The campaign was GREAT. I was really skeptical about it going in considering you knew what the ending was gonna be like. But then they let you literally fight to the death after the end credits. Such a great little twist and very badass. And the way each of the Noble members went down reminded me of some great epic war movie like i.e. Saving Private Ryan. The story was probably the most compelling out of any of the previous.
just got a warning i might get banned from matchmaking cause of quiting. this game im selling it to amazon. ill go back to bad company 2. cant wait for the Vietnam add on.
It's sad that I don't have the time to play many multiplayer games anymore. All my time now is focused on RE5 (thanks for sending it to me Dad!) and then Dead Rising 2.
The ban is for 15mins.. no reason to freak out.
Stop being a and quiting.
Why would you keep quitting games. Is it too hard for you?
I just got warned I might be getting kicked off a basketball team cause I'm always walking off the court in the middle of our games. them! I should be able to do what I want!
I just got warned I might be kicked out of the bedroom because I always get up when I'm finished, even if she isn't. her! I should be able to do what I want!
i dont want to play snipers when everyone camps for 20 minutes. id rather get another mode. invasion seems to be the only safe lobby for me i never get tired of that one
Go make a sandwich or something then. I've gotten into games with campers before so I get up, go make a sandwich, make kool-aid or go to the bathroom during those.
Last night a friend of mine went on a smoke break in the middle of the game. Wouldn't have mattered if he played the entire match. We got our asses handed to us.
Halo 3 was pretty nice and anything is better than MW2 at this point. That game was a fest.
Thanks guys, I'll be looking to buy this soon.

My only complaints as far as the community goes is that they seem to not want to play anything other than Invasion and safe haven... I did have to quit yesterday because it was getting stupid playing that game over and over and over again.
Another is Oddball.. love that game but it seems as though maybe 2 other people in the game will actually be playing it to get the skull.. the others are just mindlessly trying to get kills. on one of the levels I played there was a guy just sitting on the ledge camping and taking pot shots at everyone. Not that I can complain because it's easy to win those games because of this.
i ing love halo reach cant stop playing firefight,team slayer and invasion
