Halo: Reach Beta Thread
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
i'd like to be cocky and say i'll be playing halo reach tomorrow, but this all depends on whether or not i'll get a f&f invite from the three contests I did as well if I'm still on bungies f&f list (I was for Halo 3).
if not, i'll probably just have a crank and make my girlfriend wear a frankie mask while we make love.

To be fair its a system that they havent really explained to us properly yet, and im not gonna lie, I love the graphs. The confusion wasnt from interpreting the graphs but from whether the graphs are correct. Im sure some people are going to spend the majority of theyre time on Reach in the Arena so analyzing this stuff is kinda nice.
If you havent got anything nice to say, dont say anything at all. :lol
P.S. I dont see much chicken discussion yet. Chicken Tikka Masala is AMAZING. Like Tashi said Chicken IS the BR

Can do. But it would be shit quality, wouldn't want to do Reach injustice.

Did anyone seriously expect server lists from Bungie, or from a modern console game for that matter?

I'd prefer Haggis discussion to code begging. At least I'm being informed about Haggis right now. I have to say my Haggis knowledge has increased like tenfold today. :lolLetters said:

Have the people who are in F&F got their codes already?

Incalculable, yes. Likely bordering on infinitesimal. Server lists suck ass, don't even make goddamn sense for Halo, and would likely make time between matches longer.FunkyMunkey said:
Unless you mean a custom games browser. Then okay.

Whenever I go back to UTIII the server list system gives me a rash. Thank you Halo 2!

This is why I think custom games browsers would suck, in my opinion server lists or customs games browsers done wrong would be horrific:

I agree with matchmaking for firefight though, thats the only mode that really isnt fun without people to play with and the only mode that doesnt support some form of matchmaking.

Why would he make it up? :lol
It's not like most if not all the information has been revealed already, besides, he's offering to post impressions - I'd be happy to hear them.
Particularly if he's either very familiar with Halo or the opposite.
Custom game browswers/sever lists have worked for a lot of games, and are still the preferred method on the PC. The great thing about them is if the game continues after the match ends, you can eventually get a good group of guys together playing different unique gametypes that you wouldn't necessarily find in standard Matchmaking. Some of the more interesting games in Action Sack came out of custom games people threw together in Halo 2/Halo 3. You'll have your idiots, just like in any game, whether it be MM or not, but at least you could set up a game the way you wanted it.bobs99 ... said:
Only thing that would have to be taken into consideration is how it would affect the already long matchmaking times.

MTV is also running a live stream on their site.

An option to set parameters for a custom game, and see a list of current and open games in progress or in the lobby, wouldn't be anything but a good thing.
It'd have absolutely no effect on any other inner workings of the game and would be there for those who want it.
I don't get it.

Exactly. And the chance to meet others who enjoy the silly no-grav, pistols only, sword juggernaut, etc games that some of us love. Or even the serious games.

Atually yeah, nvm. They are opinions lol! My mind is in crazy places today.Dani said:
On another note, I was playing Sandtrap Heavies today. 7 dudes from the other team quit, but before they did, I picked up a broken missile pod. Broken in the sense that it fired to a Scorpion on the other side of the spine that I was not aware of and certainly did not target myself.

Jealous, but sure go ahead. I need something keep me occupied until monday. :lol
Us non F&F people should compose a list of questions that havent been answered yet. Minor details, like destructible walls, etc. Then again, most people playing will probably be busy doing just that. Have fun tomorrow guys.

A quick (daily reminder)!
The HaloGAF Gamertag has plenty of room left (although the first is already full) so feel free to use it to help connect for the Beta.

Yea I hear it is. I personally don't own an iPhone but I see banner ads for it every time I go to JTV. I'll link my stream tomorrow as soon as possible. I'm sure I won't be the only person on JTV streaming.

They FRUSTRATE me on the PC :lol , I dont want to play weird rules and mods! I guess if you were lucky enough to come across a cool bunch of people playing a unique gametype it could be good, but I garuntee most of the games will be people who want you to try out theyre crappy custom game rules.
It would also take population away from matchmaking. I just dont like the idea of a service which will be hit and miss taking away from a service which works well.

If HALOGAFBETA was friends with HALOGAFBETA2, could friends from the first find friends of the second?Dani said:
Example: You are friends with the 1st one and I am friends with the second one. Could you access the 2nd accounts friend list from the 1st accounts friend list?
