Tank controls definetley get mixed up when ur going backawards or looking a diffrent direction that's not forward. personally, I think the tank is just ridiculous now. Sure it is extremely overpowered, but it's also very weak armor and health wise. A couple plasma grenades can take it out no problem, and when you're trying to dodge thm u can't cuz it doesn't move where you want it to.
I read about the Spiker being in the campaign but not sure about multiplayer. They're trying to make it more like the Spiker from that live action trailer with the spikes like lunging into the guy against the wall. Basically they want to make it more beastly and tougher. So yeah, good times =]
Just got my first Halo: Reach perfection playing Invasion Slayer. I don't have enough points to render the video though
I really don't like how Bungie are making the weapons much more beastly when it's back in time. It honestly doesn't make sense why they would do this for the storyline, game-play wise it's obvious why they did it. The spiker you explained sounds awesome. Was it in a podcast or weekly update or something?
I agree as soon as I try to drive that thing it goes backwards then forwards. Its really messed up also because it kills everything in one hit. Banshee has no chance, Wraith, hog and people. Bungie really took their saying "Tank Beats Everything" and actually made that. But I do really like the warthog it destroys if you have a good driver and gunner
I've only experienced the tank (driving it) once and it got blown up within 2 nades, kinda annoying it's so brittle. Also, **** me, you gotta see this glitch! Bungie.net : Halo Reach Beta Forum : Invasion Glitch, Elite Armor Lock (Photos and Link Included!) No Joke!
I actually prefer the wraith because the only thing it does not beat is the tank (which can be taken out with teamwork) and the controls are not screwed up. No matter how hard I try, the only way I can back up in the tank is to turn all the way around then go forwards which takes a long time. Considering that the tank is supposed to be defending, it seems important to be able to back up. Note: If you think I am just a vehicle noob look at my service record.
Every game that I used the tank in Invasion, I ended up getting at least a killing frenzy and some overkills and sometimes a rampage. It is way too overpowered. You don't even have to aim. If the aimer is red it's a kill pretty much no matter what.
The exact same thing happens to me so Spoiler RED ARMY CAN STFU BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT USED IT. It is so important to back up because you are defending yet the tank cannot back up. I actually prefer the wraith because of this.
I was able to blow up TSB's tank with a single plasma nade without boarding it and it was brand spanking new. The housing for the engine in the back is basically the tanks achille's tendon. I haven't operated the tank much, I've seen it do a lot of damage. I think the banshee needs a reduction in normal flight speed. It's very hard to keep altitude and take out ground targets without out flying low, but the bomb is beast. I also don't like having to switch between the plasma cannons and the bomb; it's kinda tedious. How do the rest of all feel about vehicle health? It helps to lessen the impact of vehicles if there isn't a power weapon around, but I do wish there was a meter to let me know when I should get our or not even bother taking. If you guys want to win at invasion and your on the last tier, park the scorpian over the core. Even if it blows up, the elites can't grab the objective. It's really frustrating especially in the last few moments of the game when your team makes a great push, but can't grab the core.
Bungie.net : Reach : Game Details Bungie.net : Reach : Game Details I will never, EVER play this game with randoms, EVER AGAIN. My efforts to win were cancelled out singlehandedly by ONE GUEST.
Ahah, nice game, you carried your team like ****. There should be a playlist just for splitscreen players. 90% of the time they are BK's and just ruin the games. Did he commit suicide or betray? If betray then you should have ****ed him over and got him banned from the BETA.
Invasion slayer with 12 people you know is ****ing awesome. Have everybody go to the bridge in the corner; spartans holding out while being barraged by waves of elites who are superior than you weapon and vehicle wise but you still have cover and terrain advantage(bascially a custom game). pretty epic.
