(even though your using sarcasam)

I know. The Reach that you were hoping for was on PS3.

Woah, don't gamble, man!

Today's daily challenges are stupid easy and stupid profitable! It's like they're trying to make up for how little we could have acquired yesterday. Love it, especially since I didn't really play last night :)

Wait, one of today's challenges is to survive three rounds in firefight matchmaking--and every game of firefight matchmaking I've ever played is over after one round. How is this challenge even possible?

You've got to do it three times over as many games as it takes, not in one game.

These are full of win as far as I'm concerned. played at least 11-12 games last night and made about 12-13k cR tops and that's only because I got some bronze commendations. I'm still only half-way through Warrant Officer Grade 2 :( It's a bloody slog!

''Problem is, we got alien bastards in the house. Each new wave means more bad guys. Five waves make up a round. Three rounds in a set. Sounds easy, huh? Wrong! See these skulls? When they activate, they turn a casual Covenant make-out session into a full-on test of your manly prowess!"

It resets after every game, so, no. Still impossible. Bungie challenge fail :/

There's only one round in matchmaking though. :/

Ha, that's what you get from giving them the benefit of the doubt! I assumed it'd be accumulative. Fixed now though;-

Some of you noticed that today's Daily Challenge, Bulletproof, was so challenging that it was downright impossible. It's all better now. Instead of completing three insurmountable rounds in Firefight Matchmaking without dying, all you have to do is finish one with zero deaths. Good luck!

I'm going for a beer, but I'll be on later :)

too bad that is still hard unless you hide for the whole thing. It is SOOO easy to be out-flanked. I've got the others already. It's amazing how quickly you can rack up kills in firefight. I really liked the Be their Huckleberry one...

Infection was always boring. Shit needs its own playlist. It ruined rumble pit, and it's far worse than SWAT in Team Slayer.

Too bad bungie doesn't seem to care (yet) :(

Holy hell! they lowered the last challenge to 450 cR? Weak!

Right, well i'm getting about 1500 credits in one match.

So be very scared or try to contain your laughter.
...
Okay Acert, I'm ready ;)

Bring it on.

I average 3500 - 8000 per Fire Fight round that doesn't lag.

I made a custom race track that is a huge loop on Hemorrhage+ the far cave and am now trying to make a custom game type that is full of revenants and each vehicle can take 3-4 shots.

I am looking for a detailed manual explaining ALL the Custom Game options / types and how they work. There are a lot of options and it is hard to know what you need. e.g. In a race game you need to set the sequence of the hills and label them as race_point or whatever to make the game work.

The basics are here: http://www.bungie.net/forums/posts.aspx?postID=490...

But I am looking for something in depth. Further, some major missing items:

http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=496...

Alright, they may have added some new things, but what they took away is more important.

Things in Halo 3, but not Reach.
1. No Alpha Zombie.
2. No option to change active camo to halo 3 settings.
3. No option to make next zombie random, leader, or chump.
4. No VIP.
5. No instakill.
6. No option to pick percentage of zombies to start a round.
7. You need to give people 25% damage to splatter, so almost all vehicle games (Ice Cream Man, monster trucks...) need honor rules.
8. Infection with 1-life doesn't work. When the zombie dies the game doesn't end.
9. You can't set the points for objective gametypes. You cannot make a neutral territories map so that when you capture them all you win. The scoring is like king of the hill for each one.
10. No way of setting the game to elites/spartans only, like in matchmaking.
11. They made classes for elites and spartans in infection, shouldn't it be for zombies and humans?
12. Removal of a 1-10 scoring system. (Now its 1/2/5/10) Was it really that hard to add in a few more numbers?
13. Overshields are hardly noticeable.
14. Free-For-All style chat is terrible. You can't even plot without the zombie hearing, and vice versa.
15. No grenade regeneration setting.

Things that were not in Halo 3 but would be nice in Reach
1. Zero second respawn.
2. To be able to set armor abilities to have double or triple the amount. Not just on, off, and infinite.
3. Add Player Traits in Loadouts. (player speed, Immune to assassinations, ect.)
4. Setting to control how much bloom a weapon has, or take bloom off all together.
5. Zombie loadouts.
6. Force zombies as elite/spartan.

I have no idea why they would take these settings away, especially since they are supposed to improve on their last game settings. With these gone, many of the most popular custom games go with it. I thought infection would be bigger and better than ever. Guess it's the opposite.

As more things missing are found, I will update the list.

Thanks to Bdnndb for finding a lot of them.

P.S. This was the original thread to address all of the problems with custom games, so please no "Search Bar" comments.

Points or credits. If it's credits, I don't know how you do it. I seems like it barely gives me any credits (400-700), even when I average around 6000 points, unless I get a challenge. The highest credit's I've had from anything so far was 3500 in one game...

It's really easy to survive gruntpocalypse dude!

Yeah right, I almost made it once, but I got cornered by a Gold Elite with a fuel Rod Cannon. Grunts I can handle, it's when the dropships drop a shit-ton of Brutes/Elites with Fuel rods. I always seem to get killed at least once by a teammate too. Still, solution for Brutes=needler/needle rifle...

Score attack is the easiest way to do it legitimately (and not just hide). Sniper attack/grunpocalypse are the easiest for me. Even w/ all grunts, you can get stuck or railed by a fuel rod cannon, which is frustrating, but it's definitely a lot easier. The fact that they dropped it all the way down to 450 cR makes it mostly worthless though. I mean, it's a bonus, but just not much of one.

I'll try to be available, but I sometimes go out on Friday nights. It's usually the only day of the week I get out, so, we'll see what happens. Also next week I'm going to be away quite a bit for a wedding.

OK, so we may need to plan this some. But I say we make this happen in the next month or so. Are people game to this idea?

A Saturday night works for me most weeks if it is later. Sundays during the day as well.
