Halo Reach

my gamertag is Smoke N Fragz... I am a big fan of the Halo franchise and think Reach is a great game. my only concern is that some of the multiplayer maps seem like the developers were being lazy when making them.

Many of the throwback maps like the new sanctuary and others are all just steel and it doesnt seem like there is any character.

Have any of you noticed this?

After burning through the campaign on Heroic (and dying quite a few times I'll admit), I think this game blows Call of Duty out of the water. Gonna try to beat it on Legendary next.

Legendary is tough, to be sure. I'm still wondering why single player isn't really balanced though. There are weapons that'll kill you in three shots, but take 5 to kill a grunt. The friendly AI still has some cringe worthy glitches at times, but all in all pretty damn fun.

Yeah, I've played three missions sofar and it's definitely bugging me how a grunt can kill me in six shots but it takes a full clip right in the head with the rifle to take one out. Took me ten minutes to kill a pair of Hunters; god they're annoying on Legendary.

Just wait until you get to Mgalekgolos. Those fuckers are annoying as hell.

On a related note, what a waste of time the assault rifle is. Literally does less damage than a damn plasma pistol.
 
Aim for the head in Grunts. Not much else to say. You're doing it wrong if it takes five shots.

The only guy they use that's worth exercising for is the Fuel Rod. I only had problems with that in FireFight where they just max it and I'm not expecting it.

Yeah, the assault rifle fucking blows, but goddamn, the replacement for the battle rifle is the sweetest gun in the entire series.

Legendary...use the same tactics that have always worked in previous games...

Jackals/grunts headshots...
elites - plasmapistol/DMR headshot...
brutes - any ballistic weapons/plasma weapons blow

The only thing I have to complain about is ranking up seems like an impossible task in multiplayer...at about 1000 credits a game, i need to play 2000 games to get to 2,000,000 Cr...if each game is 10 minutes long thats like 14 days straight of gameplay...uggghhhh
 
Im currently a major at the moment, unlocked a fair bit of the armour and if I do say so, my spartan is looking pretty sweet!

AR is probably better for cleaning up kills for Brutes and Elites.

Jackals are tricky as well. They're much tougher from previous games.

Score Attack is your friend. I racked up roughly 34,000 cR in roughly 5 hours of gameplay over the past two days.
