I, too, approve. I don't mind SWAT, I abhor Snipers.metareferential said:A separate playlist for swat and snipers would mean I'll never run into one of them unless I am looking for it.
I approve.

Same here. Slayer Pro on the other hand I rather enjoy.Mr. Sam said:I, too, approve. I don't mind SWAT, I abhor Snipers.
george_us said:Just finished it the campaign and I have mixed feelings on it overall.
Positive things:
-Vehicle combat is excellent
-Needle Rifle owns face
-Graphics are pretty good for how huge the game is
-All of the new Covenant weapons are pretty awesome
-Elites are pretty damn awesome
-So are the Skirmishers
-Redesigned Covenant look badass for the most part. Grunts even look pretty ferocious
-I like being able to create my own Spartan
-Some really nice music
Negative things:
-Story isn't very good and tried to cover way too much ground in such a short amount of time
-The characters were boring and had little personality
-Brutes were redundant
-Combat dragged on way too long at times, especially at the end
-On foot combat overall wasn't as compelling this time around although I suspect it may have to do with me being burned out on the Halo formula.
-Framerate was all over the place at times
-Motion blur was flat out terrible
-Soundtrack was really hit or miss with me
-New human weapons weren't all that fun to use
If I had to rank them I'd say ODST > Halo 3 > Halo 1 > Halo: Reach > Halo 2

Shake Appeal said:As before, the actual Arena Ratings, Daily Ratings, etc. you receive, while a decent indicator of how well you did, cannot be compared like-for-like. It matters who you played against, and whether your Rating in the particular games you played beat theirs.
(In just the same way that running up the scoreboard against a weak team in any sport is less impressive than the same score put up against a top professional squad.)
P.S. Arena Doubles is awesomely stressful, but I notice I have different Daily Ratings for this and regular Team Arena. Do I get different divisional placements for each too (i.e. can I be silver in one and gold in the other)?
Smokey said:Is the max score in Arena 1700 or 1800?
I had a horrible first game in Arena, but I bounced back in my next 3 bringing my score to 1680 for the day.
Really odd thing is, for KotH and Three-Plots in the Beta, they didn't allow Armor Lock to be one of the Load Out options. It's a natural to keep AA's that enable repeated protection from damage out of games where you need to defend a territory, and I was glad to see that addressed in the Beta. So I'm pretty surprised that the Drop Shield - which is much more egregious in those kind of game types - is included. I hope Armor Lock and Drop Shield are taken out of those game types.Striker said:Team Objective:
- Oddball is a great gametype, I love it. But, one thing... REMOVE THE DROP SHIELD. It's a simple game of walk around with your teammates, two or three players using drop shield, and the ball carrier just sits inside, awaiting some poor soul to walk in and be smacked down immediately. Completely broken. Armor lock really doesn't belong, neither. I don't recall these misses in the beta. For instance, in KotH (which I haven't seen at all), they just had Camo, Sprint, and Jetpack (add Hologram for those who enjoy using it). It makes the most sense for simple abilities like those to be in objectives like KotH and Oddball. Not bubble shields which slow down the gameplay.

I posted a thread about this a few minutes ago on b.net, but it seems to have been nuked (that or I can't find it). The first mission I played yesterday, on Heroic, does not show up in my game history.Achronos said:Bungie.net armor image uploading is disabled at present. It will be turned back online after some of this initial load drops down a bit.
Striker said:You can't have a simple Snipers, SWAT, or Classic playlist anymore. Why branch all these playlists up again, and make it awful like Halo 3's set-up? There's already enough and an ample amount of playlists. If anything, they could add a Doubles playlist in Competitive, but even that isn't necessarily needed.
Might not be a bad idea to have a "social" hopper with Slayer Classic, Slayer Elites, etc. and a different hopper with SWAT, Snipers, Slayer DMRs, that sort of thing.DancingJesus said:There is great need for a Social Slayer playlist with AR starts. People are getting frustrated.
Yeah as I rarely touch the multiplayer in these games.MagniHarvald said:Campaign-wise?
Holy crap. Congrats to Bungie/MS. That surpasses Halo 3's first day's sales by about 30 million.RdN said:MS just said in their TGS conference, Reach made $200 million in day one sales.
"That's more than any game, any movie, or any entertainment experience launched in 2010."

In the main screen you have the option to go to the Menu or to continue campaign. Last time I selected continue campaign, it loaded a checkpoint at the start of the level even though I believe I was 20minutes past that particular checkpoint. So, next time I select Campaign under Main Menu and find not only that mission, but a latter checkpoint highlighted. I get a message saying WARNING save progress will be deleted, so to speak, but I realise its not a biggy as its already showing me the option to continue from my last checkpoint. select that, countdown begins and yet..the Start option was greyed out. I couldn't begin the game! I back out and I realise the Resume Campaign option at the main screen now says Start Campaign. Later on, I go back to the Campaign option in the Main Menu, select the phase of the mission I wanted but realised its still way back from the last area I played in.
Doesn't the game save at every Checkpoint Loaded? Or what? When I quit campaign sessions, I select 'Save and Quit' so I don't understand why I'm losing so much progress
