Halo Reach Thread

[Neo003]

I'm on the same boat as you except I don't go to "span". But I try to make up hoever I can, also the reason I don't play mp cause I can't pause it for like half hour to finish work and get back into the game. Sooo SP is best choice for guys like us. :(

[Razorwing]

Am I the only person that installs every game I play?

And I actually rent a lot of games, but all I do is delete the install once I send it back. I literally install every game.

So although I am not a hardcore Halo fan, I always have enjoyed the series, so I did break down and preorder it on Amazon, as they had the deal they usually do with big releases were you get $20 in credit for the video games department which I will just put towards Black Ops so I get that for $40, and then BO actually comes with the $20 video game credit as well, so a pretty good deal as I will get $40 in credit for 2 games. I also have Amazon Prime so I will get release day delivery for free.

Only thing is I probably will not realistically get to even touch it until early next month, I leave for Span for work this upcoming Thursday, will be gone for 8 days, then also just have to work a whole lot of OT at work, so really will not have much time to touch the game until early next month. So the one aspect I was looking forward to, the 4 player CoOp, unfortunately I may not get to experience because by the time I get to play it, I am sure everyone will be bored of it already on just playing MP.

I'll always be up for the 4 player Co-Op bro.. and no you are not the only one who installs every game you play.. I do that too.. :laugh: and I think you meant 'Spain' and not 'Span' :cool:

Cool, that definitely sounds good and I without a doubt am going to take you up on that offer of the CoOp. (Y)

* And maybe if he is around and would like to, Neo003 can join us since he is in the same boat as me. :yes:

And okay cool, I figured I could not be the only one that installs every game, even when I had my my smaller 60GB drive, I just install everything while I play it then more than likely delete it unless it was a game I thought I would come back to. It just makes the most sense to me all around. Less use on the drive and shorter load times = always install the game no doubt.

And indeed, * I did mean Spain. :laugh: I actually had a lot of typo's in my post, that is what I get for posting from my phone. :pinch:

I won't be able to play for around a month either (Uni stuff), but if you guys are around I wouldn't mind joining up for the co-op.

Sounds good to me. (Y) So cool, looks like I will not miss out on the CoOp like I thought. Sweet. (Y)

[Tech Star]

Toys R Us is not having a deal on this game, I don't think. :/ Of all the games they have gift card deals for, this game they don't. :(

[Neo003]

Alright I'm game, I'm avail anytime after 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM. Send me PM whenever you guys are upfor it. (Y)

Anyone going to the NYC release party in Times Square. I was thinking of meandering over there as I will be in the neighborhood next week.

[Slane]

Kinda of looking foward to the world map with the lights on it to show people playing it, and watching it light up time zone by time zone (I'm EST). Always loved that bugger.

Don't you get it, Halo Reach is "Masterful", MMMAASSTTEERRFFUULLLL.

Seems like an odd word to use, needs more umm, something epic sounding, oh, Jumbo!

[Vortex566]

Seeing the information about the load times with an install. I think it's time I upgraded my 360 HDD.

Received an email saying my copy is in the mail already - hopefully I'll get it Monday

[LingeringSoul]

In case anyone's undecided whether to install the game or not; ( After the whole Halo 3 thing )

Installed: Initial Load Screen to the appearance of Microsoft Game Studios Logo: 10.3 seconds.

Not Installed: Initial Load Screen to the appearance of Microsoft Game Studios Logo: 12.0 seconds.

Not Installed: Opening Mission: 21.4 seconds.

Installed: Firefight: 21.6 seconds.

Not Installed: Firefight: 45.1 seconds.

Installed: Custom Game Load: 9.7 seconds.

Not Installed: Custom Game Load: 28.7 seconds.

From: http://www.examiner.com/video-game-in-national/halo-reach-load-comparison-installed-vs-not-installed

That's actually pretty darn good. I can't say that I install every game I play, but that's mainly because I've only had my 250 GB hard drive for a couple of months now, and I'm not accustomed to having all of this excess space. My policy has been to install games that I know I'm going to play a lot. So Forza 3 got an install, as will this (considering these numbers, there's no way I could pass up doing the install).

[.KICK]

Well, my copy is currently in the post so maybe I'll get it tomorrow, if not I'll get it Tuesday. Should be good, I didn't play the Beta so I don't know what to expect.

[Hedon]

Am I the only person that installs every game I play?

Nope! I always do as well. :)

Hey guys Best Buy is having a midnight release, but it says it only has "Guaranteed 20 Limited and 20 Legendary Editions at all other Best Buy Stores" so pretty much all the other non-midnight release stores.. does that mean that there is 20 extra copies ontop of the pre-ordered ones?

The way I'm reading there guaranteed to have a minimum of 20 of each at each store. So it could be they do have extra editions or they only have 20 of each in the first wave of games to give out.
