RSGZ, what’s your gamertag? Or have I added you already? I’ll be on later tonight, planning on a late one so should see some of you guys on there.
Played a little bit of the campaign earlier - not sure what to make of the story as the first game that I played of the franchise was Halo 3 (so I’m not really clued in n all the backstory), but the gameplay, visuals, voice acting (for the most part) are sweeeeeeet.
If theres anyone else in the T-Nation Bungie group who wants to add me, crack on. I’m a bit wary of posting my gamertag up here because it happens to be my real name.

i was wrapped up in matchmaking with a couple of guys, wasn’t trying to blow you off. If you’re on tonight I’m game. We’ll all jump into a party for some Invasion.

For sure!
I’m going to suck for a few weeks though, since I’ve never spent more than 15 minutes playing previous versions of the game.[/quote]
this is game is really easy to pick up, and with everyone on an even playing field (no perks, weapon upgrades, or kill bonuses) you’ll find yourself getting kills right out of the starting gate. the only thing you have to worry about for now is everyone having a fresh start.
that means the five star generals are the same level as you for now.
Just go to the website and search for Reach. There will be this promo code: EMCYXZR62 for ten bucks off. Then add it to your shopping cart and enter the promo code and BANG ten bucks off bitches!!! I pity you fools who paid 59.99 + tax.
Ahhh bargain hunting on the internet is a beautiful thing.
About halfway through the campaign, Pretty damn sweet. I’m not in love with the armor extras, I haven’t used most of them, just the sprint one here and there, and obviously the jetpack is needed for parts of the campaign. The armor lockdown doesn’t seem all that great for campaign mode. Of course I’m just cruising through on Normal to get a feel for everything, so maybe it’s more useful on hard or legendary where the enemies are actually tough. Brings back some Halo combat evolved memories with the strafing elites. Fuck the brutes do it too! Missle pod warthog FTW!

BTW today is the last day for the deal. [/quote]

Where was it offered for $20 off?[/quote]
If you pre-ordered from Amazon or Best Buy you got a $20 gift card. Essentially $20 off because you’re going to buy from those retailers again.

Your logic is false sir. You ACTUALLY paid full price for said item, and your NEXT purchase will be discounted. If there is indeed a next purchase. Mine was ten bucks off without stipulations…pow that just happened!!

Yeah…because you fuckers aren’t going to buy from BB or Amazon again…just admit defeat, Pootster.
First runthrough on Normal completed this morning. Went to take a shower when the credits started rolling and as I’m getting out of the Shower I hear the controller vibrating on the table. I run out to see me being killed in a bonus mission called lone wolf. No second chance, it just went to a cutscene where some female voice is telling me I belong to reach yadda yadda.
I’m assuming if I could have stayed alive and completed that last mission I would have gotten a different ending where I get off reach and, what? become mastur chief? I can’t wait till I can buy the mastur chief voice module and play campaign with that. It’s gonna be awsome.
Not sure whats next, prolly some Multi player, but I also want to go back in and beat it on hard soon. Also I blazed through pretty fast leaving most areas unexplored, so next time through I’ll prob take my sweet ass time and look for easters.
Graphics are nice, my aiming is suck, still haven’t used any of the armor bonuses cept run and necessary jetpack. Maybe the hologram will be cool in multi. BR and Needle carbine are still the best weapons. Shotty seems slower. You can’t shoot and then melee very fast and I kept geting killed trying to do that.
Here is my plan for a long weekend Halo splurge. (after I buy halo 2) Play reach, 1 and 2 then ODST then 3. Not sure when halo wars fits into the picture but I may throw that in also if it runs in the timeline somewhere.
As far as my review of the campaign. It’s nice. But it’s no where near as “epic” feeling as 3. I don’t know if anything can be. Again, it was only on normal, but there didn’t feel like a whole lot of “Boss” battles. Again, this may change on the harder difficulties, but even just on hard in Halo 3, a brute boss with the hammer would empty a full BR to take down. The last elite I fought in reach I was armed with no nades and a half plasma rifle and the AR. I never even got in trouble with him.
I’ve been hooked on this game all week. My girlfriend hates me and I lost 2 lbs. Last night my eyes burst and shot optical jelly all over the tv screen.
