Bungie update images add 250 Gamerscore, 10 'Cheevos to Halo: Reach

@xbashingx I doubt it's actually DLC already. Just a title update.

@xbashingx

Seems too soon for DLC :/

@xbashingx
They directly said in the Bungie update that this was a title update to make the max rank cap higher and that it would be free.

@Faenix

Never too soon when there are only 9 multiplayer maps.

@Anticrawl Forge World has 5 variants, so it's like 12 or 13

@Riley Freeman

Borderlands has also recently joined the 1750 club.

@Riley Freeman

So damn good i misspelled "Reach".

WTF is Rach?

Note: We need Edit.

@Riley Freeman Technically Family Game Night holds the crown with 1850. But that is like 9 games all slapped together.

@sgt quackers

Actually Dawn of War II holds the crown at 2000GS.

@Iwa but that's not really the same, it;s second 1,000 was an expansion pack that was really a standalone game but got counted as the same one

@TheDarkWayne

Actually it's pretty much the same thing as Family Game Night, with each game being a standalone DLC.

@PR0F3TA I only like it when Chris says it.

@PR0F3TA

There are certain words that are funny on the internet, but make you sound horribly stupid if said in real life. However, "cheevos" is stupid in both situations.

@PR0F3TA Agreed, that word needs to die.

@Flapjackal

Personally, I think cheevos sound delicious. Kind of like a flapjackal, or a runaway pancake.

Whoever came up with the word "cheevos" needs to get "Justin Bieber" and "Twilight" tortured.

@PR0F3TA

Chris Grant started this whole Cheevos thing and I can't stand it either.

@postpwn

I though J McElroy started it?

@PR0F3TA

So if you hear it enough then there won't be a problem!

You are welcome for the term.

@Magetto

Yes! That would be brilliant. Easily my favourite mission. Would make an awesome multiplayer game mode.

@AkumaFTW
DAMNIT JOYSTIQ YOU SHOULD POST YOUR NEWS THE EXACT SECOND IT COMES OUT AND NOT BE LATE BY A COUPLE OF HOURS

@AkumaFTW Still beats carrier pigeons.

@supersonic124

...or ELSE!!!

@bxgt

and IGN too. i bet they wont have this until monday night or tuesday

@AkumaFTW

Thanks, Joystiq...you just spoiled next month's issue of Gamepro for me.

@MarkHawk more maps please period haha. what are there, like 10? that's like 2 or 3 DLC map packs

@Admiral Ackbar Supreme Commander

Well there are 9 or 10 but one map is split into another 6 or 7.

@Rhamsey: With all skulls on.

@MGTrey
Watch them do a Mythic acheivement. For those wondering what Mythic difficulty is, it's Solo, Legendary, with all skulls on. Every single skull, including blind. You can't save and reload, and you have to restart the level over if you die. I can't imagine how difficult it is in Reach, considering how hard it was in Halo 3 and ODST and reach is certainly the hardest Halo game to date.

@Magetto

I doubt they would do that. I found most of the achievements in Reach to be very easy (and varied), so I doubt they would really add anything super difficult. Hell, I've already got 955/1000, just need to get to the rank of Lt. Colonel.

@Magetto I thought Halo 3 was the hardest, I can't pass the first area of most levels on Legendary, only beaten Legendary in co op, ODST I beat solo once I learned to keep my head down (Firefight still needs matchmaking, not all of us have friends who play).. Think I'm on the 3rd mission of Reach, already beat it co op, there hasn't really been any pinches yet

@Magetto

I doubt they'll add achievements for doing things you can already do now in the game. You'll only see achievements for the new content as it's a bit late to go back and add more campaign achievements.

@Magetto

i didn't actually think ODST was all that difficult on Legendary, once i figured out that plasma pistol + magnum was the way to go. Halo 3 wasn't all that bad either. i remember Halo 2 being absolutely ridiculous on legendary though.

@MGTrey
True, they should do a episodic dlc where you can play as master chief in the events of the fall of reach book. It would be awesome

@MGTrey

I loved the Reach Campaign, but Noble Team was pretty boring. Very lacking in character development, in my opinion. I didn't end up getting too attached to them or anything throughout the game.

I think they should do some campaign missions from the Covenent's perspective. I know I am in the minority, but I really liked the Arbitor plot in Halo 2.

@Mr Esc is the namesarcasm is my Those who haven't experienced it lack the ability to comprehend it. Downvote my comment all you want guys, it doesn't change the fact that the system is undoubtedly asinine.

It's almost a mathematical equation, 3x3 = 9 regardless of whether or not you *feel* it doesn't. Of course the people who haven't been banned aren't going to have a problem with the system. But when you're in a situation where you have to face an entire team of 4 by yourself in a ranked match that counts towards your score - or leave the unfair match, /and get banned for it/ - it starts to show that system might not be so perfect after all, and points out the other flaws that have now become more noticeable.

Firstly I don't know any rage quitters that do it 5 times (or whatever the requirement is) repeatedly in order to be flagged by Bungie and get banned. I know rage quitters that leave once every now and then, which completely defeats the purpose of their ban system to begin with. On the other hand, I know a guy who's first three matches were against a team of 4 by himself, and realizing it was unfair, left. Then in the 4th match, he left a game where he was /on/ the team of 4, versus the 1 - thinking it wasn't fair for the other person. He was then banned from matchmaking, the same day it was released.

That was his wonderful Halo experience the first time he played it - in other words, it was completely ruined. This is a system you agree with? That punishes the innocent more than the people who deserve it?

I mean i r butthurt rage quitter lolz! Right, what did I say?
