Halo: Reach Discussion

Shotgun whorin.

 

You would.

On an unrelated note, new Deftones = win.

 

Some one please run me through the commendations on our Reach stats and what all of those images mean.

 

These are like the challenges for the Call of Duty franchise. Just like getting 25 kills with a certain weapon then you get the bonus EXP for that challenge. So once you get the specific Commendation to a certain level you get more and more Cr for each one.



Multikill - Every double kill or higher medal counts towards this.




Assistant - Every Assist kill counts towards this. An assists is when you do at least 40% damage to an enemy player then an ally finishes the kill off. This doesn't count if the enemy runs away and recharges their shield entirely.




Technician - As far as I understand, this one counts as an accumulation of medals you earn. Not specific medals. So once you have earn't say 100 medals it upgrades to the next level. Though 100 was just an example, I don't know the specific amounts. Yes it look like the invincibility medal, though it does not mean that.




Headshot - This is pretty straight forward. Every headshot counts towards this.




Killing Spree - Also straight forward. Every killing spree you achieve [5 kills without dieing] with count towards this.




Sticky Grenadier - Once again, straight forward. Every stick with a grenade counts. I', not sure if the Plasma Launcher counts towards this however.​

Also, specific commendations will be different each week. I'm not sure there will be different ones for the Beta, but the full game will have different commendations to earn each week and I think month. Also every day if I read correctly somewhere.

 

I reckon they need some text to show your progress rather than just a bar.

 

Agreed, it's a bit vague. Though it could just be this way in the Beta. I'm expecting an in-game menu in the finished product showing the current Commendations.

 

I think there was video showing that it would be like that in the full game.

 

One more day to go before I get to play woohoo!!

 

There's a specific list of actions/medals that contribute to the technician commendation. I wish I still had the list, cause Luke Smith posted it over at HaloGAF a few days ago. I do remember that Hijack and Skyjack were two of them, and that there was about 8-10 different actions.

Also, IIIINNNVVVVAAAAAAAASSSSIIIIOOOOOOOON TOMORROW!!!

 

YAY!!! INVASION!!!

About the Technician, thanks. I wasn't really sure how it works, just assumed it was all medals from what I've read around. I figured it was a specific list and not all but yeah. =]

 

Has anyone found out what that front punch on the spartan from the beta trailer is?

 

Yes, scripted animation for a trailer.

 

Are we sure its not a possible new armor ability

 

Maybe? But so far, Scripted Animation is the best conclusion we can come to untill we see more AA.

 

reminder: leaks are not allowed at FH in any form or fashion.

 

I seriously doubt its scripted, if they wasted time to create an event for the video, why not just show the neck snap?

 

Why??

 

As an official affiliate of Bungie, we don't allow anything they wouldn't like to be circulating around here. That includes modded maps, leaks, and so on.

 

ForgeHub follows the same rules as Bungie, and obviously, they don't allow leaks.

 

That's stupid xD
Seriously.

So what if you link to a site that does have link, or what if you speculate on something? Managing "leaks" is kinda difficult to enforce in a place like this xD
