that's great news. i could actually see myself enjoying this mode for quite some time. especially because it is not very susceptible to "playlist luck". as long as they keep it invasion + invasion slayer only and don't think it would be fancy to add invasion 1 flag ctf

Bungie put out an excellent guide to playing Reach, some great tips in there.
It turns out crouching actually does lead to an accuracy boost.
And the NR is full auto! Which means it's more versatile than the DMR, as it's easier to use at close range without headshots (only 3 needles to supercombine, vs 4 body shots with the DMR).
It's amazing that Bungie seems to have knowingly made the pistol the best overall gun in the game (excluding power weapons), like it was in H1 (though not as broken).
Actually I love the Reach sandbox and weapon balance, it is brilliant much better than H3 which was already better than most shooters, in Reach every gun really does have a niche. Even the AR; I was looking at the inner crosshair the other day and it is really small - you could probably use it at quite a fair range if you burst fire.

I'm loving the needler for Invasion slayer when I'm an elite. I can't kill anything with the needler rifle, no matter how hard I try. I much prefer the DMR. Also, I can't kill anyone with the pistol, but I'm hoping that is due to the crappy reticle which makes aiming nearly impossible.
wow,thanks.
reading that explains why I like Reach so much better than H3. Excellent improvements IMO. A lot of the haters are pissed that their old "stale"
tactics no longer work to control the battle. It takes a bit more to get the hang of and levels the playing field a bit. My most favorite of all is the reduction (damned near elimination) of bunny hopping for the most part. Adding the elites (which are a dream to play) was brilliant as well... this game is so much more fun to me and varied I can hardly wait now for the full release. Not to mention other armor abilities. this is also interesting to note

Also, another hot tip (well actually borderline cheating) useful when playing as Elites.
The BXB glitch is back, which basically means you can do a really fast double melee by pressing Melee, Reload and Melee.

According to the comments on that vid, it only works with weapons that don't need reloading ie. Plasma pistol, Plasma repeater, Focus rifle or if you hit reload on an empty clip with a regular gun.
Abuse it while it lasts, cos they're going to patch it in the final release.
Has anyone actually noticed an accuracy improvement while crouching? I tried it and didn't really notice any difference. Perhaps someone who snipes a lot, or is just generally a better shot than me can give it a try? Besides, there really isn't time to crouch and shoot most of the time.

I find my performance in SWAT extremely variable, which is frustrating.
Maybe it's cause I'm a twitchy player and aren't calm enough.
Like yesterday I was coming second or third last at the end of some rounds and then another round despite my team losing I got 23 kills including an overkill! (my only one so far in Reach)
I also play with a look sensitivity of 7 though (which i've used since H1), what sensitivity do you guys play on?

Look, nuttin' stoppin' you from hookin' your keyboard and mouse up to your Xbox 360 USB ports. There is two of them there for a reason
Question: What are the fastest ways to get the Generators down? The group needs some better hints as some groups tear them apart while at other times it takes foreeeever. What I have found that works:
Mini-gun. Near C there is a mini-gun and it will shred it down to about 5%.
Nades. One of the elites has 3 plasma grenades. 2 players swooping in with that rock pretty fast.
Grenade launcher. kill a Spartan and use it against them.
Yeah, pathetic list. Help!

Wait, can use K&M to play 360 games? Doesn't that only work for typing
Maybe if you have a hacked 360 it'd work, though that'd be cheating when you already have aim assists helping you target.
