I have no interest in a beta, as it is but a beta. I'm going to wait to play the real thing, and not a multiplayer event full of British 10-year-olds that complain when they are killed, but talk a lot of crap when they win. No, I do not like the online community of Halo.

Bungie can't do much about that without losing live communication aspect of online play. I'm pretty sure you can mute anyone, but the sheer amount of trolls is a tad overwhelming to conquer.

Every online medium you could possibly use have their fair share of "trolls" and general people you just don't like. XBox Live, PSN, AEF, YouTube, 4chan, etc... It's just the nature of the beast.

Bungie have made an effort to cater to such a service you would like, though, Xusha. "Mute Ban" - If enough people mute you in a lobby, you are temporarily muted to all for a certain amount of time. (I'm guessing 30 minutes - 1hour.) Although not much, it still helps fight against racists, idiots, and squeakers.

On the other hand, since most FPS' are team-based games, you can't just take out communication absolutely.

My suggestions are to either a) Play in a party of friends, or b) if you find a group of people you communicate well with, "Party Up" and play with them.

Also, a Question: Does the amount of leaked content on the internet and through Cons spoil a video game for you, or makes you that much more excited to play?

My Xbox committed suicide so I can't get it. :/

More excited. I'm not going to buy a game if I don't know what's in it.

In other news, I still haven't preordered. Because it was raining today and I couldn't be bothered walking into town for it.

Buuuut I heard you can forge campaign maps. :3

by Veluxier Tue Aug 31, 2010 11:05 am

Pre-ordered the Limited Edition!

I'm somewhat excited for the new enhancements to Firefight and Forge

Gruntpocalypse ftw!

Not to step on any hopes or whatever, but I wouldn't believe anything unless it is stated directly by Bungie or through a third party from Bungie.

Being that most of the MP/ FF maps are from Campaign, I would assume so, considering you could Forge MP maps to some degree in Halo 3.

I'm looking forward to Forge World. I'm so building a map at the Lagoon/ waterfall.

Remember those who stood against impossible odds, against a far greater number, for the sake of all humanity. Remember Noble. Remember Reach.

Anyone want to talk about and gameplay that has been leaked?

I've only looked at non-Campaign leaks. Bungie has already put put a lot of info and what not anyways, plus, Waypoint/ 343 Industries have been putting out some nice multiplayer, PAX will surely reveal tons more gameplay.

I'm really looking forward to the Armory. I think I might go with the

permutation for starters, not sure.

Only 6 more days (for me anyway :D)

Flawsie... the time stamp for your post is 1:17...

I starting to get the distinct feeling I'm going to be greatly disappointed come next Tuesday... My mother has yet to pre-order the game for me, and it's annoying me.

So much win is being held here.

Question, is there actually a difficulty above Legendary called "Spartan" ;-;

It comes out the day before my exam, and I do want to complete it before nightfall so I can study.

And a extra difficulty is just annoying.

by Evangel Wed Sep 08, 2010 12:31 pm

Legendary is the highest difficulty, with "Mythic" being with all the skulls turned on, but co-op actually raises the difficulty to another level, so 4 player co-op on Legendary with all Skulls turned on ("Mythic") would the the highest difficulty in any Halo game.

by **Flaw of Insanity** Wed Sep 08, 2010 12:33 pm

Phew. Damn, how on earth am I supposed to get all the skulls too?!

Playing this game from the very first day (in fact, seeing as time zones are in place, the day before many people who make these guys get it) I'm at a disadvantage.

by Evangel Wed Sep 08, 2010 12:35 pm

I think the skulls are already unlocked like in ODST, probably something to do with Firefight.

~UPDATE~

Halo: Reach "Deliver Hope" Live Action Trailer Extended Cut is up! (Director's Cut to come Saturday) LINKAGE!!!

Anyway, second time I was beaten to a post... D:

The new Halo: Reach trailer looks pretty neat. And this is when I start wishing I had an X-Box.
