Halo Reach

[Mac]

Yep, I preordered about 3 weeks ago, and I got an email about a week ago, saying I'll get a $20 gc shipped to me 1-2 weeks after release of the game. NICE!!!

Are you guys going to the campaign right away, or straight to online play?

Online, then I'll do campaign starting someone after work Tuesday.

Campaign here. Other than a few hours of the beta I haven't touched halo in a long time. I also don't have wireless to my 360 yet. I'm debating on getting the new 360 or getting the wireless N adapter for the older model.

I'll be scrub hunting for the first few days. The online multiplayer is what makes Halo special. I like the storyline as well but multiplayer will be off the charts and I am excited to see how many gamers will be on for the first four hours or so.

I wouldn't go with wireless when doing multiplayer. I avoid it due to some lag issues caused by going wireless.

I agree. I bought the wireless N adapter for my old xbox. It worked great, but in games like Halo and other FPS, that small bit of lag is the difference between a kill and a death. Friends always wondered why i played so bad when i was at home. Then they came over and played on the wireless and could notice a huge difference. I would try as much as you can to avoid wireless. I'm sure it is totally fine for some games, but it makes a huge difference in FPS.

my friends and I are prob gonna try to campaign it all the way through one sitting, then i'll go to online

 

[OSUScoonie12]

I wish this day would go by faster. I wanna go pick up my game and starting kicking ass online!!

 

[Mac]

I got the game at midnight, but was so tired I didn't play it when I got home. I agree it needs to go faster so I can BR some noobies in the face

 

[Bucknut24]

I have to wait til Thursday to get the game :(

The DMR or whatever it's called (the new BR) is sweet. I found the trick is to get into a rhythm, let the little red dot reappear after a shot and shoot again. Patience is key when shooting while being shot at, don't go trigger happy, and you'll be fine.

I was playing a level last night in campaign and after completing a part that was supposed to trigger the end scene/end of level didn't occur I ran around for about 30 minutes trying to get to where the objective marker still was. Only to find out that I couldn't. So I had to restart the whole mission over.
