I finally beat the campaign on solo legendary, I think it is safe to say it was harder than Halo 2.

Still haven't done that. I'm apparently at the last major firefight on PoA, but I've had so little free time that it took me until last weekend to reach Exodus, and I've had even less free time this week than last week.
I've made 3 pretty awesome forge maps as of yet. :D One was an invasion map, making one of those is a complicated process.

I must've spent an hour yesterday trying to get "If you came to hear me beg". That achievement sucks.

Oh you mean

:P
Also, thanks to a tactic that's actually allowed but will be fixed in the future, I've gotten 20,000 credits today. Yay for Captain grade 1.

Same here, I almost went insane hearing what Fusion said over and over.

Finally got the 1,000,000 point Firefight achievement. I don't think I'll be playing Firefight for a few years now...

Did you do it with normal or classic firefight? You shoulda just made your own easier mode and gotten it.

I used the IGN variant, but it took forever because I chose a map that was spread out. It still wasn't a fun achievement.

I used the IGN variant to get one achievement and got bored and stopped. Then I made my own that was way more fun. Seriously, who doesn't want a golf club and plasma launcher the whole time? :P

Aw, man. I wish I had bought an Xbox 360 sooner. Still haven't bought one, but I know how awesome Reach is. I'd go for a few rounds of Team Slayer in the Blood Gulch remake, or a nice foray into the Forge World. I have an idea for a map right now, called Last Stand. It pits the Blue team in the middle of a small set of buildings on a beach head.(A city of some sorts) The Red Team spawns in the water on some small "transports" and in the outskirts the city, in a "ship",(It's a good idea to equip yourself with a Jetpack to prevent fall damage)-which has an opening for Reds to jump out of. The Blues need to hold out their location for a minute, then the rules change to a slayer objective. Is that possible under custom game modes?

It took me hours to get that achievement, but I dident know there was a variant to get it faster. Well, I guess it doesn't matter since I'm banned from live because my friend borrowed my Xbox, Hacked it, and cheated on my account.

Tank Beats Everything

No, I don't give out my gamertag, and no, it isn't in that video. However, it can be found through some snooping on Youtube and if I get an invite that way then I'm really not adding anyone to my Friends List.

Inclement Weather adds a storm to your upper torso, so flames won't even be that bad by the time people start hitting General :P

Is it just me or do the Warrant Officer ranks take forever to get past?

Yes. Yes they do. Even ONI Sword Base barely helped me.

Each grade of Warrant Officer is 33000, with grade 3 being 66000. Major grade 3, a rank two names later, is only 50000, with its prior ranks only being 25000. You'll like actually getting exp again, trust me.

Oh by the way I'm Lt. Colonel now, enjoying my Mark V. Helmet and my 1000 gamerscore.

Wow, somebody has been playing Reach for far too long. :P I just reached Warrant Officer Grade 2 last night.

I've heard from a friend that after you get to a certain grade the credits start getting easier to get it. Does anyone know anything about this?
