@radical, chandoo

No auto save? WHAT?....ARE YOU...?!

You're kidding me right? -__-

The game saves checkpoints after each encounter and you spawn on the last checkpoint when you die...NOT THE F*CKING START OF THE LEVEL! WTF DID YOU DO?!

Did you mess with the options or something?!

And when you quit your session even if you were in the middle of a level and play it again later, it starts from the last checkpoint as well! There is no manual save shit. What the hell are you talking about? Are you even playing the same game?

but no it does not auto save each time you hit a check point after each fire fight.

LAIR!!

I swear you haven't even played the game! I swear! :lol:

 

[Gizmo]

^^REACH did NOT have autosave, or maybe I didn't realize it did.Every time I wanted to save I had to "Save and quit".If I didn't I'd have to start from the last save.

 

[USUF]

^ Is quitting to the main menu when you wanna stop playing such a big deal? Doing so saves your lastcheckpoint and you can continue onwards from that exact same (autosaved) checkpoint when you play the game later.

The game AUTOSAVES a checkpoint when you cross one, and you cross alot of checkpoints during a level. Ever noted the notification on the bottom left of the screen "Checkpoint...Done" during your sessions? If you die between THIS checkpoint and the next one, you spawn from this last saved...AUTOSAVED checkpoint...

Its just like any other game ....The hell are you guys doing? LOL

 

[Gizmo]

^^The problem is that Pakistan has alot of power problems, alot of un announced load shedding, If I were unlucky enough to become a victim of un announced LS while I was playing REACH I'd be very unhappy.

 

[Raptorian]

I've seen "Checkpoint...Done" like 100 times by now. When quitting, just select "Save & Quit" and the game will resume from last checkpoint.

 

[Bad Mofo]

Yeah, ditto, I've seen the ''Checkpoint....done'' thing a million times as well.

DMRs rock, they're so much fun to play online. The needler rifle isn't bad at longer ranges either.

Getting a headshot in Reach is pretty awesome, especially if you get one on an opponent thats a bit close to you, because you can then hear his voice when he dies. The reason i am pointing this out specially when you get a headshot is because when the opponent dies, you hear him make a sound like someone quickly passed a razor-sharp knife through his neck..

KkkkHhhh!!

 

[Bad Mofo]

hah! Yeah it's pretty brutal being assisinated. Just the siund startles you. I could do without the assisination animation. I always tend to hit the melee button too long and it goes into the animation and someone else kills me off.

I love the Arnie inspired ''Aaaahh'' sound. Anyone else heard that one?

 

[Radical]

Well the game was loading from the last manual save instead of the alpha, bravo thingy Chandoo mentioned, i checked mission selector later on & started the game from there! it loaded fine then.

Anyways finished the game! (sm1)

 

[USUF]

Spartans never die! They just respawn in 5...4...3...2...1...

 

[Radical]

Well i don't see myself playin' the MP of this game BUT the campaign mode definitely was good!

The OST is FANTASTIC! like always in all of the Halo games.

All the open world sequences were good, the other levels not so much!

Noble Team idea is good as well, loved it!

Best Halo campaign so far imo...

 

[USUF]

^ Well if you liked the OST, you should have a listen to this officially remixed track of one of the OSTs that gets played during the campaign....I just love this one...

Remember the Spartans....and Remember Reach.

*salute*

 

[Yasir]

I saw that in a youtube highest rated comment. (sm1)

 

[Magma]

Isnt it time to unsticky this thread?
It has been 1 month since release and everyone seems to have finished this.

 

[Chandoo]

Halo: Reach 1st DLC Announced - Noble Map Pack - 11/30/2010

Our DLC team has been hard at work these last few months, cloistered together in the heart of the studio preparing three new multiplayer maps for your Halo: Reach multiplayer pleasure.
