how boring^ i've kind of put this game on the shelf in favor of SC2 until there's an mlg playlist that doesn't have loadouts/sprint. still love the game though.

near 900k unique players in the last 24h (a weekday) so i'd say yes. obviously with the release of a new shooter being so recent the numbers are going to take a slight hit for a while at least but at its core halo has had the most loyal fans by far when it comes to the xbox scene at least.

on srf, doubt it.

Reach only lost 100k-300k Players per 24hours. A lot less than ppl thought. Black Ops population came from Mw2 mostly. Reach was also nearly 3million first week it was released. I dislike how people bash on Reach over Black Ops before it was even out. I myself am going to enjoy both.

I take back my last post, I quite enjoyed playing it this time.
The new class system is refreshing but it does seem less technical than halo 3.

I just bought Reach. And I hate it. I guess I'm more of a call of duty type of gamer.

Meh.

mlg playlist dropped on the 7th, i've only got to try out a few games. i want to play a bit more so i can form an opinion but sc2 is way too addicting at the moment and i don't really like the idea of AA's in a 'competitive' setting.

anyone who still plays, or plans on playing reach again eventually should keep an open mind and give it a shot. the general settings of version 2 are something along the lines of

dmr or needle rifle loadout, 110% run speed. gravity messed with so you can jump higher, like in h3 but not as high. 75% melee strength (it takes 3 to kill, 2 to drop shields. this is to prevent sprint double melee)

sprint in the starting loadout and evade/jetpack are available on certain maps to be picked up.

Or maybe they prefer a different style. I find the story enjoyable, but I don't like the A. loadouts, B. pacing (multiplayer feels slow to me) There's other stuff that I can't remember.

If you can control the stronger power weapons, with reg weps you'll get fcked over if you play against players with a bit better aim. You can't just spray people down like CoD or something.

that i could agree with. play mlg settings, and reach like any other halo game takes a lot of skill. granted in 3 and reach it's more about your skill as a team and less about your individual skill, i'd say both 3 and reach have similar skill gaps in general.

Fuck Reach, I can't even play now cuz I don't have the fucking map pack. I know they had this in H3 too but there you had atleast a few gametypes you can play. Fuck this.

Really? o.O I'll have to check again then I guess.

/Edit: Ok you're right guys, it just says recommended. Didn't try to actually join since it was flashing and in H3 that meant you couldn't play the playlist so meh...

I do play with the same people I have before quite a bit without the DLC though. Kind of annoying considering I avoid them for good reason like team killing. I think I'll get it, but idk how much longer I'm gonna play Reach.

EDIT: ****! Xbox is getting e71 Error... freezing during gameplay and no solution I can do without replacing it has worked. "Might" be the HDD or GPU or Power Supply. Sucks...
