Wow. I love it. I haven't heard of anything greater than our new beloved Sandwich bans... Yes, you just got banned for quitting... go make a sandwich and think about all those games you ruined.

i'll post here since it seems to get ignored on the Beta Feedback page. I do not have allot to say about this, but I have noticed that the game sometimes does not give you medals you have earned. This mainly happens at the end of the game. It has happened to me in two separate occasions, that i can say hands down, WTF why doesn't this medal show. My first incident was when i was playing Stockpile. I played the game got the hammer, even got lucky enough to go +19 with no deaths. At the end of the game, it poped the Perfection medal in my face. I got so happy, because thats was the first time i got that in Reach. But when the game ended i went back to the carnage report and wham. It showed that i did not get that medal. [b]Looking for the Game in the history but cant find it. It was Stockpile on Powerhouse.[/b] My second incident was actually to day. I was playing classic slayer on Swordbase(FFA). I was using the shotgun. I got killing spree and shotgun spree. At that point I'm in the lead with 20 kills. I get in 4 more shotgun kills on some dudes. Then I'm waiting to spot my final victim. I see him coming on my radar, so i turn the corner and shoot his ass. I hear the announcer saying Game Over-Open Season-Killing Frenzy. Then as im looking at the top medals, it only shoed that i got just a shotgun spree and a killing spree. Again the game stole those medals from me. [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=9623787&player=yeskezspanem]Carnage[/url] This has only happened to me right at the end of games. I am not sure if it has ever happened to anybody else(the same or a different way). The way i see it. Any medal that pops out after the announcer says game over does not count. This should get fixed in the full game. ps Love you Bungie <3 [Edited on 05.14.2010 5:31 PM PDT]

No DMR start in invasion! isn't that the point its a defence game type, i loved picking them off from up top and they always get through though, in the end. ..lets just make the whole game boring!!! I've had a shut out a few times. Guess that's NEVER happening now! We couldn't make a game that some people don't like. Oh my CoD! what will we do if people don't CoDvert from other games to halo. DLC$15WHUT?! DMR with spread and now no DMR starts. ty bungie! [Edited on 05.14.2010 5:34 PM PDT]

Well, we still have an easy solution for those laggy games, or games where half your team quits. Just have a computer/laptop handy, set the controller down, and go on the comp while you wait for the match to finish. So from there, will Reach kick out AFK'ers (Away From Konsole, better known as A Free Kill)? Then tape the thumbstick down while you're AFK. What about the players who grab the power weapons and jump off cliffs? It's not possible to effectively weed out every d-bag type player on Live, and trying to deter quitting is a bad way to do it. Instead, if one person on your team quits, which actually causes your team to be unable to win, there's no sense for everyone else not to quit as well. In that case, everyone on your team gets that little stats penalty, the other team wins, and life moves on. Also, Matchmaking will inevitably pair a team of MLG players vs. a team of those who just bought the game, or someone will have a severe host advantage due to shoddy internet connections. This happens more often in Halo 3 than you may think. Again, having the hopeless team quit and loose a little XP is better than wasting time finishing the match. The losing team benefits from being able to hop back in and try to get a legit match, while the winning team doesn't waste any time getting easy kills on AFK players. In many cases, quitting is not just the best option, it's the only good one. The quitting ban discourages it in these cases and makes annoying situations of bad matches even worse when people are afraid to drop out. Here's an idea: auto team balancing. If two players on one team drop out, the lowest performing player from the other team gets moved over. Simple as that. Also, if the quitting penalties apply to FFA games, that makes absolutely no sense at all since no one is "hurt" by those quits. There was no mention of this in the update so I'll assume that it does. In the end, people who have to wait due to the quitting penalty will probably just hit eject on their system's disk drive and play something else until it's over. [Edited on 05.14.2010 5:51 PM PDT]

Thank you urk for making me sad when I read the Description. I went back to a few games of Halo 3 today, I was pissed I couldn't sprint and I was using the BR as a DMR.
-
I CANT WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT WED. IM ALREADY HAVING GAME WITHDRAWS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HALO REACH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! H**L YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Good update!
-
I'm sorry but, I can't be happy that I can't play reach anymore until I move and get better internet.Which won't be anytime soon.You made a fun game that I can't play because of this ban and my internet.I have never quit out of a game just to let you know.
-
I actually ran into that CTF Flag glitch on the first day I played the Beta. I thought about saving it and then forgot. If only I had known...
-
I wonder if Bungie can update the halo 3 and odst controls to have a "reach" option. I've become too used to using x for reloading and rb for bash...
-
"If you happen to have come across any of the above bugs/issues, please email a brief description of the issue, the URL to the game in your Bungie.net history, and a link to the entire Saved Film from your File Share (a Film Clip will NOT make the grade)." Coulda told me that before I deleted all of the films. And I have found bugs. :/ Kinda sad that there's only 5 days left though.
-
Awesome update. Gotta get a Stosh style BFG in the final game.
-
It's been a awesome Beta, I can't wait for the full game this Fall!
-
I don't want the Beta to end :( But in all seriousness I'm happy to see Bungie all over these bug issues. Keep up the good work guys.
-
Thanks for the update urky purky!
-
What exactly do you mean by magnetic warthog? Because I have a film where the warthog is bouncing really weirdly, making it difficult to drive, but I don't want to email it incase you mean something obvious which I'm just not aware of. Also: [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x How dare u, bungee?![/quote] Most shockingly... 5 days? Not 7? But nevermind. Thanks for the Beta! It's been great fun while it lasted! AND THANKS FOR PUTTING THE INVITE IN A GAME I WOULD BUY THIS TIME!!! xD
-
So I don't actually suck horribly with the new one shot weapons! Wait, no, I do. Good update, Urk.
-
It's gonna be hard not to be happy about Reach for a good while. A couple nights ago I noticed the background art on the main menu and saw that the soldier with the sniper rifle was wearing the Marathon armor. I know it might not say that it will be in the final game for sure, but I know there was the cover of a GamePro that had [url=http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1283/746283899_a78c3fc322_b.jpg]this[/url] art and it showed the Spartan in the Recon armor with the turret, so I have some high hopes. Anyways, I'm still gonna try to break your game as much as I am able. Thanks for the opportunity Bungie.

Urk, why does Network Test 1 have so much latency? [Edited on 05.14.2010 7:13 PM PDT]

I lol'd quite nicely at the Blame Stosh. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DHG B3nny Skinny, why does Network Test 1 have so much latency?[/quote] You see youngling, the playlist is exactly what it's name portrays it to be; A network test. Not just any network test though, this playlist is testing something very specific. [i]Co-Op.[/i] If you've noticed, it has the same 'button lag' that everyone seemed to hate with a flaming passion in Halo 3's Co-Op mode. This is because the playlist is using the Campaign engine opposed to the multiplayer engine, hence the 2 player split-screen limit (Much like in Campaign and Firefight.) No one knows for sure why their testing the Co-Op, but many have assumed it's due to a possible 6 player Co-Op mode in the Campaign (There [i]are[/i] 6 Noble Team members, after all.)

Amazing update! ...and i'm sad again because the beta is almost gone ;(
-
This quit ban system seems almost draconian at best. It seems good players are going to be getting punished for no other reason but because of a fallacy in Bungie's matchmaking system, which itself is very obsolete to a server-client model. So say I'm getting spawn killed, betrayed, playing a laggy game, or just generally matched up with people who don't compliment my own skills and efforts? Should this mean I should be forced to play a -blam!- game or have to deal with a matchmaking probation? It seems you'll need to be expanding and revamping the custom games framework this time around, to provide a fundamental experience to those who want it, you will if you want to get my $60+ at least.
-
Do we report the character models having different color armors in network test 1? I have a ton of those videos saved just because it happens all the time to me.
-
That blame stosh pic is awesome
-
Meaty update. Ticked I didn't keep the vid of the icons appearing over the flag though. I have a screenshot! =(
