Played me some reach today

Omg… So much fun, Rumble pit was awesome.

BTB love that vehicle combat

Then Finished the day with Firefight limited, such a rush for survival lol

I highly suggest going back to Reach for abit. Heck, avoid multiplayer and just hop on campaign as your spartan and explore some levels.

Totally agree, i’d forgotten that Halo could actually be fun until going back to Reach, it flows much better than H4 imo and is a much more fun experience overall, less waiting times in lobbies and much much less lag and black screens, and generally just better game play!!

I’ve been playing quite a bit of Reach as well, almost at Nova. I find myself trying to complete the daily challenges again and basing my gametype decisions for the evening on that. Having an insanely high (too high really) ranking system definitely helped the longevity of the game for me.

Playing this game for about 2+ years and still only a forerunner lol

Same here folks. I gave up on H4 and went back to Reach. The Lag was the main issue, Reach rarely ever lags as badly as H4 does most of the time. I play Reach a couple of hours a night.

Reach is just a tonne of fun, especially if you can find a buddy to partner with or a group to play with.

Driving a hog with a gunner and actually killing someone is a riot, especially without a hail of H4 Sticky Grenades or everyone having heavy weapons to snuff you as in H4.

Piloting a Falcon while my gunners own all the infantry and getting 15+ assists before someone snuffs us with a Laser, Rocket, Rocket Hog or Scorpion is a just a laugh riot.

Playing Campaign or FireFight co-op with little to no lag is just so refreshing after H4.

And then there are the objective BTB games like 1 or 2 flag CTF, 1 or 2 bomb Assault too. Nothign better than being able to drop the flag / bomb and snuff someone getitng to close, before pickign it up and scoring.

It’s just simply fun again…

Amen to that brodda

thank you everyone for keeping our reach comunnity and our true halo community alive still, even if you guys dont hop on everyday( i still cant find time in my day to do this) a day or two a week even adds alot of help to our community, and really seeing the reach multiplayer grow again, after being how many years old, its great to see one of your favorite online games stay alive by dedicated halo players like you guys…

To all you halo 4ers, if you love halo you will eventually start playing reach again…

No real need to thank us lol but no problem, Reach has always been one of my fav MM games (odst for campaign) I’m still rediscovering the fun with things like anniversary slayer and FF.

I got my money’s worth with reach

Being playing everyday since June. Here are some things I like about Reach.
Grifball looks and sounds like grifball.
Most of all matches are found in little to no time at all.
The lag isn’t terrible.
The campaign is still fun.
Players aren’t jerk faces. Playing btb and everyone was in vehicles zooming around blowing -Yoink- up, getting blown up.
Firefight be it arcade or limited vastly more fun than spartan ops.
The weapons don’t disappear in three seconds.

With the exception of bloom and armor lock, the game feels more balanced.

wish i could play rumble pit…

when i play (in the evenings in Australia) the population is normally below 10 :frowning:

I apologize for that Doc… :confused: surely there must be friends near by whom you can hook up with for a Xbox link party?

Reach is a very fun game to go back to.

Gave up on trying to rank up though, it is just not worth it, imo, I will happily stay a few point away from Captain.

Yeah, I too just was getting very bored with H4, so I popped in Reach. Such a refreshing change. I was SR130 in a few months and really had nothing to shoot for. At least in Reach I can still continue my rank.

I had such fun yesterday (Oct 25) playing Reach for several hours (FireFight first, then BTB for a few hours).

We were in BTB RASU Heavies and I stole the enemies Scorpion from their base, driving as fast as possible (bit better than walking in Reach) to escape. I get around the back end of the enemy base, kill a bunch of vehicles and people (4 doubles and 2 triple kills) while backing up. Then an enemy spawns about 100 feet away behind me near the cliffs, so I start driving away from him as fast as possible, cranking the turret around to try and kill him before he/she climbs on the back of my tank.

Well it becomes a slow mo race because he doesn’t have Sprint or JetPack, so I actually pull ahead of him in the Scorpion and got far enough away to shoot him with the turret and not kill myself in the process.

I almost died laughing because he was so close to catching me and I was sure that I was going to die by a grenade plant or him beating my tank to death - but it turned out different.

Total Riot…
