Hopefully you will buy this game.  We need to get some Firefight going without your Kiwi connection making my game play like a slideshow :) 

Im sure it'll put the network infrastructure under strain! I'd get some wicked host advantage... Oh, btw my internet connections gotten slower since we last played so look forward to show!



Tease.

What do you think about the new game modes?

I probably won't do the free for all headhunter, but the team one sounds cool. I played something similar in UT I think.

The stockpile(I think thats what it was called) game mode sounds good. Generators does as well. We will find out about Invasion come Friday night on whatever that GameTrailers show is with Geoff.

I'm worried about the random weapon drops on generator defense but I'm trusting Bungie to balance it. 

Do you have any idea what time Gametrailers plays on Fridays and if there will be a live stream? I don't have the Spike channel anymore so I can't watch it on tv.

All the new info on the game looks SICK!!!! can't wait for Friday and the next Bungie weekly update. All this multiplayer stuff is awesome but I wonder when were gonna see some substantial stuff shown for the campaign!!!

They seriously need to fix respawns. I can't tell you how many times a day while playing Halo 3 I say "Yep, that's great, respawn them right behind me. Fantastic." After the third time or so, it really gets old.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Yeah its just wonderful that they spawn 5 feet behind, or you spawn in a shitty spot and get spawn raped.

The only place I really got spawn fucked was on Foundry(pretty small map anyway) and High Ground(the damn beach).  Everything else was pretty solid.

Narrows is another really bad one, but yeah not all maps are like that.  Some are actually pretty good.  

But in Reach I hope that they will truly have random spawns (away from any enemies of course)
