Not even Bungie likes cat. I guess me and them have that in common in that regard.

So, are we doing this get-together thing Sunday at 6PM EST?

by **Flaw of Insanity** Tue Nov 09, 2010 11:36 am

New ranks and armors are out.

I reached major, I'm way to slow and cannot get credits fast enough :x

I've temporarily fixed my connection, need to get my techie action on my NAT.

Who else is stoked for the Noble Map pack?

by **Rage** Sat Nov 20, 2010 3:10 am

I'll probably end up getting the map pack. I'm just taking a break from Reach for a bit to work my 3D stuff.

by **Flaw of Insanity** Wed Nov 24, 2010 4:11 pm

Conundrum, Emile's helmet or Mark V?

by Evangel Wed Nov 24, 2010 10:10 pm

I personally don't like Reach's EVA. I like Pilot more. But between EVA [c] and Mk. V, I'll say Mk. V.

Hay guys I finally got Xbox Live.
My gamertag is Revoltation.
At the moment I suck and am a low rank.
That is all.

by **Tim Hortans** Sun Nov 28, 2010 8:35 pm

Shadow we have to rank up together because I'm at a low rank too. I think I'm corporal grade 2 or something. The rank before Sergeant.

by Lord Starscream Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:15 pm

Ok I know this ish kinda a dead thread but, I got Reach for Christmas and being the first Halo game I've played and owned I must say it ish great. I really found some of the deaths annoying though. Especially Kats (sorry if you have somehow not gotten past that yet) And I'm a pathetic rank Go Me! But I'm blaming Microsoft/ XBL cause I was supposed to get 1 month free gold mem but alas they screwed up so I get to play the lovely game of 'please wait while we put you on hold' Oh and my gamertag is IngrainedChip39 feel free to add meh

by **Shadow** Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:19 pm

Yesss thread revival.

I think Kat must have been playing on Legendary, because I don't understand how she got one-shotted by a needle rifle.

by **Flaw of Insanity** Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:32 pm

She had no shields obviously.

Or she just sucks.

Or that needle rifle was something else...

I'm thinking that we need another TR reach event this weekend.

by Lord Starscream Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:38 pm

lol XD I don't think it was a needle Rifle because bungie, the Halo wiki and so on and so fourth all state that a sniper shot her and Needlers aren't any form of a sniper rifle as far as I know so Hmmm I think it would take further discussion to work out what it really is. Oh and really you'd think the overgrown raptillian rat (I like reptiles and rats but I hate Jackals) would have gone for someone more important like Carter or even Jun not the whiny technition who really, was no longer needed from that point onward.

Ah Well RIP Noble Team I liked you all, even Kat :)

She had no shields obviously.

Agreed she she sucks and is a horrible driver (seriously when I let her drive in the destroy the Cov. Anti Air Turret mission I couldn't kill anything at all because as soon as I locked on she'd drive off)

And give me the day and I'll activate my 2 day xbl gold membership

Do not double post.

On Reach, the only sniper rifle the Covenant had was a beam rifle, and it obviously wasn't a beam rifle. The only Covenant weapon it could have been was a needle rifle.

Also I'm pretty sure her shields weren't down, but I'll play the level again to check.

by Lord Starscream Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:49 pm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IMR4rbT6s8 this shows her death

by **Shadow** Mon Jan 10, 2011 2:04 pm

Shields are not down, and you can clearly see it's a needle crystal. Hey look I was right.

by Lord Starscream Mon Jan 10, 2011 2:20 pm

........Shut up! (not shut up shut up but more you're right and I don't like being proven wrong) I just don't see how a needler could kill her- especially becuase even with a headshot the helmet should have protected her. Oh well. She dead thats its

by **Shadow** Mon Jan 10, 2011 4:33 pm

I said the same thing:

How can you be sure the needle you see isn't just a glare set off of a different type of ammunition? And who's to say they didn't start developing spikers earlier yet only put them on the battlefield in Halo 2.

by Alderos Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:54 am

er, there are spikers in the game..., and im pretty sure the reason why she was one shotted was because she just put her helmet on, and that he shields werent up on the helmnet yet, simple explanation...

oh and another thing, i was just wondering, why didnt they take covenant warship materials and use those for the material for the spartans? they would be invincible.

Please do not double post.

by **Tim Hortans** Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:16 am

Spikers weren't introduced until Halo 2.

Please do not minimod.

by Alderos Tue Jan 11, 2011 1:27 am

fine, and there are spikers in halo reach, im pretty sure the reason they didnt put them in halo 1 is because they were probaly still a prototype, plus brutes werent in halo 1, brutes probaly hadnt been proven on the battlefield to be worthy.

by **Tim Hortans** Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:07 am

Halo reach is pre halo 1, i.e. no spikers.

by Alderos Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:35 am

BUT THERE ARE SPIKERS IN IT!!!, Have you not played halo reach? there are spikers in it!!! stop arguing with me.

(ps.) respond to my pms please.

by Mrsebi Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:42 am

One: It was a needle rifle, they exist.
Two: The needles are made from a special crystal that can pierce the shields and armor, game mechanics wise its not so simple for obvious reasons, but story wise needles can pierce both your shield and your armor, and if too many enter your body, they blow up.

by Alderos Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:52 am

EXACTLY! but still, she had just put her helmet on and shields wouldnt have charged all the way.

by Lord Starscream Tue Jan 11, 2011 4:57 am

Ok so we can agree that

1. Her sheilds weren't charged all the way because she just put her helmet on thus reducing her defences.

2.

The needles are made from a special crystal that can pierce the shields and armor, game mechanics wise its not so simple for obvious reasons, but story wise needles can pierce both your shield and your armor, and if too many enter your body, they blow up.
.

3. According to the Halo Wiki (which is incredibly accurate) Needlers were in fact in Halo CE

Maximum Ammunition ■80 needles (Halo: Combat Evolved)

And brutes ARE in Halo Reach, Along with Hunters, All the Elites, All the Grunts, the engineers, the buggers and so on and so fourth

There. these are the facts so no more arguing about whether needlers are in Reach and whatnot :-D
