Hello You, How’ve you been?
So This is the week, Its kinda sad for me and this is not a topic I thought I’d write but an end has to start.
When Halo:Reach came out it had a weekly challenge. Complete X amount of campaign levels on Heroic,
it was the week the game came out so as I was going to play the game anyway I decided to do the weekly.
I’d get an achievement and do my first weekly. Well this lead to a problem the next week.
Do I try and do the next one? If I remember right it was doing 30 sets in firefight, back when firefight was loads longer 
,
So I did that one and it sucked SO HARD, but then I was back to that situation,
Do I stop now? We’ll I’ve done 2 how cool would it be if I did a year!?
That would be good! I wonder if BINGiE will give you anything, Such as a medal for your Spartan?
Well this is where I am now, 99 Weekly’s
However Sadly I won’t get to 100. The reason for this is I got a job in Malta.
I had to leave England and move there (here) so I was in a Limbo internet wise.
Also with my job starting and moving It was not something I could do.
It’s a shame but I’m still happy about what I’ve done. 99 WEEKS!
I did think about stopping at 104, Which would make it 2 years but this came up.
I remember at 52 weeks there was a blog post on here listing all the 52 weekers,
I’m Sad I won’t make it in the 2 year post but I’m looking forward to seeing who made it!
TL:DL I’ve done every weekly challenge (99) but this is the week I’ve stopped as I moved to another country,
It’s sad to stop but I’m happy to have gotten this far.
Heres the bit where i reminisce about the 99 weeks:
First off, SCREW YOU GUYS / BUNGiE for the X amount of firefight sets!,
The win X amount of games,
The REVENGE medals,
really just the stuff that was slightly out of my hands and no matter how good I could be,
my team could pull it away from me.
I don’t want to come across as big headed but I can go +25 game and still as lose because of the two -15 people on my team.
Especially in games where they’d run at the other team because it was their friends and the friend was going for the weekly.
Also I hated how towards the end (past year really) I don’t play any normal games of halo.
When it became about wins I’d just go into griff ball, or when it was kills/headshots I’d go into SWAT.
I wish sometimes it was play 50 games of team slayer.
Something where I could play 10 games a day and just enjoy it.
I hated the LASO ones but looking back they were quite fun,
I remember the first one and how me and my friend just couldn’t get past the end bit where you had 2/3 elites.
One of them had a concussion rifle and would just blast us all over the place,
We ended up having to stop and try it all over again another day (we didn’t know you could just assassinate them)
I think I hated the LASO weekly’s because I was always unsure if I’d be able to do them,
But I’m also glad the level Long Night of Solace didn’t come up much like some of the others did
as the bit inside with all the elites was quite hard.
I’d like to Thank WireTom for helping me through these 99 weeks by doing the LASOs with me and also the other levels where you needed 2 people. I’d also like to thank the forklift glitch, the amount of times that saved me! And I’d like to Thank Ultimate RC for great LASO videos.
TL;DL The Weekly’s that were about factors outside of my control sucked but the LASOS turned out to be quite fun.
What I thought of Reach:
I was a big Halo 2 fan and Halo 3 but for me Reach was to changed towards the casual user,
Don’t take that wrong, it looks great and the sniper is the best sniper in all the Halo games.
It just had to many annoying things,
The AAs,
The spray and pray start guns,
THE SPREAD ON THE DMR,
THE SPREAD ON THE DMR,
THE SPREAD ON THE DMR,
THE SPREAD ON THE DMR,
THE SPREAD ON THE DMR,
THE SPREAD ON THE DMR,
THE SPREAD ON THE DMR,
The lack of nice small team killing levels such as The pit form Halo 3,
Reusing sections from Campaign sucks so hard and the force pallet of silvery gray just hurts to look at.
343 need to look at how Skate did its skate park editor and look into having different art styles for the same pieces.
That way you could change the objects settings and give it a whole new look (texture) also setting colours of objects needs to stand out more. Think about the big yellow walls in the pit, its reminiscent of a paintball arena.
Apart from the last point about the forge pallet it seems like 343 are making Halo 4 more like Halo 2 and 3 which can only be a good thing!
Nobody will read all of this post, but I hope people see this; Halo 4 needs the pit from halo 3 and Elongation from Halo 2.
It also needs “shots fired”, “shots hit”, “accuracy” in the post game stats,
The melee from the start of halo 3 when the ragdolls would fly off into the distance.
I remember hitting people off out of bounds on snow bound and having the guns track the ragdoll and shoot it.
Also some way to show how many weekly’s you’ve done ingame and maybe an amour piece you get in the first week of Halo 4
and you only get to keep it as long as you keep doing each weekly. So it can act like a badge of honour.
One last thing Don’t change the Sniper form Reach!
TL;DL i love Frankie
