I'm still sick, so I won't be partying tonight. I'll probably be on really late.

hey guys. I've had a REALLY rough few days lately and all my friends who used to play halo have stopped. Would love to play with some of you. I used to be very good at halo 3 and 2 but haven't had to much time play Reach yet so i suck at the moment. Need to get better but hate playing by myself. It's lame. If anyone wants to play, i've been playing halo since day 1. I'm a good teammate too.

Gaming online with friends is therapeutic. Hell, playing Reach with DTFers has helped me get my mind off a ton of stuff already.

Anyone have an issue with input lag when doing online co-op or firefight?  Framerate is fine, looking around with the right stick is fine, but whenever I move with the left stick, jump or shoot, there's a 1 second or so delay.  Makes the game unplayable IMO.  Makes me wish they used servers for those modes instead of relying on P2P.  It was seriously pissing me off last night when I was going through the campaign on Legendary and I always had to sit back to be the spawn guy. >:(

heh, none of that going on last night :lol

It took me and my friend about five hours to go through the game on normal (maybe 5:15, but no more). We didn't get stuck in an area until halfway through the eight mission, and even that was only for five minutes. It definitely felt very easy on normal. I never found myself needing to use an armor ability other than sprint (except for the part where you *need* a jetpack), which was a bit of a letdown (but also probably a function of the lack of difficulty). We both thought the part where you're operating the transport turret went on for way too long, and got old pretty quickly. It also felt a bit clumsy at times. We also thought having to run to the MAC gun at the very end was a bit anticlimactic as a way to basically end the campaign. We thought a continuous last stand on the platform with hordes of enemies and maybe a weapons drop for us partway through would have been much more epic. The end game cutscenes as well as the little "Survive" part were a really cool close to the game though :tup

I fell asleep while trying to beat the third mission on legendary early this morning, so I'll try to finish that up today/tonight.

Just did the first mission on Heroic with a friend. Not hugely impressed, but not let down either. Tbh Halo 3's campaign was actually massively underrated so I'm not expecting this to beat it.

It beats it in terms of the story, but the gameplay in the H3 campaign was far better imo.

I am tempted to buy this game but that means I'll actually have to leave my room to play it

Sure, I could take the 360 into my room and hook it up to one of my computer monitors but that involves leaving my room.

So umm... my wife and I get to the 8th mission and... our freakin' xbox EATS or game save!!  Just gone.  Go ahead and skip to the last mission we finished, it's going well, get the cut scene, and...  the shit reloads to the start of the mission!!!!  >:( :censored  Won't go any farther; played the same mission like 5 times, same result.  Gamestop is getting an earful today!!  (even though I know it's not their fault... someone has to hear me yell :) )

Also I've only got about 60,000 something more credits until I unlock the birthday party armor effect. God damn I want it so bad. One of my friends already beat me to it.  >:( :censored >:(
