I freaking love this Beta but unfortunately my favourite mode is being ruined by idiots.
In stockpile (the one with hella flags) i'll run/fly/sneak over to a flag and bring it back home only to have some idiot pick the flag up as soon as I drop it so they can then score the point, ive even saw idiots pick it up right at the end of the timer and miss the point!
Apart from this im loving the Beta, just a few things like increasing the power of the needler rifle and this game will be pretty damn good!
Has anybody else saw any stupid point scoring exploits?
Halo: Reach
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Sep 14, 2010
A prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, chronicling one of the most cataclysmic events of the Halo Universe through the eyes of a squad of Spartan super-soldiers known as Noble Team. It is also the last game in the series developed by Bungie.
The one problem I have with the Reach Beta
My problem with stock pile is that no one wants to work as a team. You've -got- to have one person going for a flag and one person escorting said person.
" My problem with stock pile is that no one wants to work as a team. You've -got- to have one person going for a flag and one person escorting said person. "I can definetly agree with that statement. Most people are too selfish, but the beetah is great, it feels a lot more modern than Halo 3. It always felt kinda dated to me. And the different armor powers make for som pretty diverse gameplay.
I hate stockpile, it's the same each time, one team goes for one half of the map and the other team goes for the other. Very little fighting actually goes on and when you try to take one of the enemy flags from their zone the timer runs...
Every time I played Stockpile the other team would always forgo the flag collecting and just spawn camp my team's base.
If the flags scored more and there was like say, 3 flags or 5 flags and they were worth more with a bigger score count before the match was won then I think it would be better, because right now each flag is worth 1 point and yeah people rarely go for the enemy team's flags.
Halo Reach seems to have moved on to newer things but one thing is for sure, it didn't fall short of taking the dumasses and idiots with it.
" It's worse when you wonder why you're losing so badly, only to see someone of your own team trudging a flag to the wrong point, then the Blue team just staring at him wondering wtf he's doing. "I actually did this during my first game in the Beta. I was like, "Why aren't these dudes killing me?" And I was getting free flag kills left and right. I was clueless.
Stockpile is awesome, IMO, but it is pretty easily ruined by idiotic behavior. For example, I was playing last night when a member of my team (who happened to be a guest on another person's account) decided to take the flags from our return point while we were defending them and jump off of the map with them to reset their position. Again, this was our team mate.
Just read an update on Bungie's site. That problem you have will be fixed for the final game. confirmed.
I enjoy stockpile,don't get to play it that often tho.As for the whole picking up a team mates flag thing,I know it goes on but either I've been lucky enough not to experience it or I'm just oblivious:P.I do make a point to try and steal the enemies flags,at the very least it annoys them and disrupts their flag gathering,and I completely agree about escorting flag carriers,I always try to do that:).Overall I'm loving the Beta,can't wait to see what else gets added to it,definitely want to play invasion!

"This. I find the best strategy is to send 3 teammates to rush the opponents at the beginning, leaving 1 guy on your side of the map to collect flags and defend. The 3 guys put so much pressure on the opposing team that they can't try to steal the flags you're capping, and you can prevent them from scoring. even if all 3 die they'll respawn in time to meet a charge. Keep harassing the opposite team and they won't have the time or manpower to actually cap flags.
Also, play with friends. The dumb bullshit doesn't happen as much.
Also, there's nothing more boring than having a bad team and playing stockpile. But when you do, it's great. Cannot wait for invasion to come.
