gruntmods Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 Remember april fools last year? When bungie claimed they were making a chess game mode for reach?Bungie does, which is why they released an official chess variant to the community. You can play Chess on any map that contains the necessary Forge objects. That means Tempest is in, and oddly enough Anchor 9 also makes the grade, making Space Chess a certified Space Reality. That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for…well, you know the rest.It appears that it utilizes bump possession, and does not have a checkmate thus forcing players to rely on the honor system for certain aspects of the game.Get your fix here: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=15992988Heres a video from rooster teeth explaining how to play:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2FrLwkgLZk&feature=player_embedded View full story
REDSTAR 105 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 well this gives me motivation to pull out the dusty reach disc for once
Randomrocket Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 well this gives me motivation to pull out the dusty reach disc for oncelol yeah. Lets a play a glitchy version of chess that doesn't even know if you are in check or not instead of just pulling out a board and playing it in real life.... Oh btw, there's an overall time limit, so if you dont finish in 10 minutes, it a tie. I've played it 3 times and it ends in a tie cuz of the stupid time limit.
gruntmods Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Posted April 12, 2011 lol yeah.

Oh btw, there's an overall time limit, so if you dont finish in 10 minutes, it a tie. I've played it 3 times and it ends in a tie cuz of the stupid time limit.You can edit it like any other variant. It knows check, but not checkmate.
Randomrocket Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 You can edit it like any other variant. It knows check, but not checkmate.it doesn't know check. Move a pawn across the board, CHECK! wait what?...
gruntmods Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Posted April 13, 2011 it doesn't know check. Move a pawn across the board, CHECK! wait what?...pawns cant move acroos the board, it has a system in place to detect what pieces can move. Im talking from experience btw.
Randomrocket Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 pawns cant move acroos the board, it has a system in place to detect what pieces can move. Im talking from experience btw.yeah they can. Those guys that move one space at a time forward. I played a game that was glitching horribly.
gruntmods Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Posted April 13, 2011 yeah they can. Those guys that move one space at a time forward. I played a game that was glitching horribly.I played several times with different people, ran fine.
Randomrocket Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 I played several times with different people, ran fine.maybe its just my connection or something but I swear it was glitchy for me. I'd move to a spot, then when I went back to monitor, my piece wasn't in the same space I left him in...

iBotPeaches Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 What was wrong with playing real chess? Whats wrong with racing warthogs when theres 104930123 racing games?
Quinn Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Whats wrong with racing warthogs when theres 104930123 racing games? They are two completely different things IMO
gruntmods Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Posted April 14, 2011 They are two completely different things IMOassassinating your opponent is so much better then real chess.
