Err....you shouldn't have to with Reach unless something is seriously wrong with your setup. There are brightness options within the game...

People still care about credits? lol wat?
Bungie, but only because I grew up using Macs so I got to experience stuff like Marathon and Myth in their heyday on the original platforms. Halo was originally developed for the Mac too (with a simultaneous PC port) before Microsoft bought up Bungie, it was even premiered at Macworld if I recall correctly.
I love Halo, don't get me wrong, but what really sold me on Halo was Bungie, not the other way around as I would imagine most Halo fans are.
No worries, it was a month or so ago anyways. It was more of a dig at Hypertrooper's constant hissy fits at reposts.

Lmao at these challenges, 343 trolling us hard again...
For me personally it's both, their culture and games are so intertwined that you cannot have one over the other. If that makes any sense.
Played some matches today, damn why do people choose vanilla Reach? Goddammit random ass bullshit unfair crap !#$.
Slightly unrelated: I still have 5$ on "Link up to Bungie.net" showing up as a daily after March 31st.

It has nothing to do with caring about credits. Just because I don't care about credits doesn't mean I can't notice when something is obviously ridiculous.

Anyone else not really put a lot of time into Anniversary? I ran through on Normal, beat a few levels on Legendary, and have gone for a few achievements but I haven't really replayed it like I thought I would. There are a lot of gameplay changes that make it hard to go back I think after so much time with the sequels.
I play on Halo: Anniversary everyday since November 15th.
And sometime, I'm on Halo 3.
My copy is still sealed..
I still haven't finished it, barely have any of the achievements, and only like 2 of the skulls and terminals. I'm not in a real rush to finish it off, it's a game I've played to death (and still have the GonD version on my HDD), so I can just ration it out. I wanted to do the game in co-op for the entire first run through and my schedule and my co-op bro's schedule just sort of misaligned there.
I'm actually following the same strategy with Skyward Sword. I knew I was going to be real thin on money so I'm just kind of slowly going through CEA, Skyward Sword, and Gears 3, because I really have no idea what game I'll be getting next and when.

Even at the times Bungie handled the whole stuff, there were massive difference between the challenges. But now it occured on the same day. Yeah shit happens. We knew already that the challenge system had its problems. It's just a confirmation.
Edit. 1: Is there an article how the challenge system works? Are they random-based or what?
I played Anniversary a lot. I think I invested 55hours with the game till now. I love it. Yeah I like the new graphic, I love to see the Master Chief's armor in the Cutscene, and the terminals still let the story fanboy out of my heart.
I thought it was the names/description texts and what can be used for a challenge that were set in stone, they can still change amounts/payouts and when they show up. It should be noted that I don't think we've ever seen Firefight challenges for either Installation 04 or Unearthed. Then again, Unearthed and Installation 04 never got DLC achievements either - I guess nobody was interested in setting up new hooks for those maps.

They'd be achieving a whole new level of trolling there...
We haven't, and I give them a lot of credit for not doing that (if they're even able to). That'd be a real dick move.

Does anniversary benefit from being installed at all?
Ha! Awesome.
I figured it worth digging out the vision cam to reply to it with.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Has the Halo: Primordium audio book been released?
Looks like they have nothing better to do? I find that to be such a waste of time.

Anyone else get a major Spielberg vibe from CEA? Halo CE was a bit more quake/doom-ish, and it's not really starting to dawn on me until now (mostly in the speed and soundfonts that were used for the music), but now that everything's so much brighter and the music's orchestrated, it gives it a bit more sense of lone "wonder" rather than some of the darker, more "Rock Anthem For Saving The World" sort of vibes. It's even basic things, like Rock in a Hard Place's guitar solo sounding retro now (ironically the original had much more modern-sounding rock), or knowing about the Flood rather than it being a spoiler, or even the Plasma Pistol giving off a Mass Effect-style lens flare when fully charged.

Yeah, I think so. It's narrated by Tim Dadabo, and from what I hear it's pretty goddamn awesome.

WHAT. Bungie needs to tell us what they use to achieve the monitor voice effect and then run the entire audiobook through it. I'd buy 100.

Anybody have three render minutes for this? Worst Spree Ever.
I absolutely fucking choked on that potential overkill (Killtackular?) at the beginning, and that ending... Embarrassing.

15% Halo, 85% cheesy dialogue.
Call me crazy, but I miss Shotty Snipers. It was an instant-vote for me in H2 and 3, every time, even on crummy maps.
I will bring it up with their manager.
