Anyone with me?


I'm completely with you, it would make sense for Bungie to release at least a screenshot of Reach before ODST comes out.

I honestly don't think they'll release any reach related media. because it'd cast some shadow on ODST. that's marketing.

it's like "hey guys, here's our NEXT new game! forget ODST you won't play it when reach's out anyway"
if they release something it won't be reach related. to tell the truth we won't have any piece of info until ODST is shipped and well sold (or whenever the next gaming expo is (TGS, leipzeig electronic, etc).
They may release something MP-related to Reach so that people get hyped up for the Beta (which comes with ODST).
That would definitely make sense. We never usually get to see much on campaign until they're much closer to release. Perhaps we'll get a map revealed, or we could just end up getting an official reveal of heretic. Which is what I'm betting on.

Well, apparently its something we've never seen before. So, here's hoping its not the new Halo 3 maps.

In all honesty I would LOVE to have Reach related screenies or vids but I'd guess it's going to be shots of Longshore, Citadel and Heretic.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

So, tomorrow's Bungie Day. And there has been some crazy speculation but in a nutshell, Urk alluded to there being a screenshot of some sort on Bungie Day and many people, myself included, have come to think that a screenshot from ODST will not be worth that hint.

So, anyone expecting a Reach-related Bungie Day surprise?

I'm expecting a screenshot with the 5 silhouettes in the banner in the game itself, meaning we finally see who they are. That's all I'm really expecting.

Or a Introduction to Halo: Reach ViDoc. Time to get those coming in again.

So, what's it gonna be guys? Excited?
If the people in the banner are spartans, then we still won't know who they are. They will all look basically identical.

Challenge me to a Hawaiian Punch chugging contest. I dare you.

Unless they have different armor variants, but i kind of doubt that.

If the people in the banner aren't Spartans, then we know who they are. Both ways would work.

zOrgy, I don't think you understand marketing. While your right in some ways, you are wrong in others. Newer productions can cast shadows over others, however, they can also be used to boost another production.

What I mean is, ODST has had a lot of hype flying around. Many people are gonna get it and it is still bigger than Reach, because we know more about it and it's coming out sooner. however, one draw to the ODST disk is the Reach Beta.

So if Bungie releases a screenshot of some Halo: Reach Multiplayer action, then it's gonna draw in even more people. these will be the people thinking, 'I don't really want ODST, and while I'm excited about Reach, I'm not sure if the Beta will be worth it." If Bungie release a screenshot or two, it may be enough to bring in a few extra buys.

So yeah, I think it's gonna be an in-game, multiplayer screenshot or two. That way, it'll increase hype about Halo: Reach, ODST (Because of the Beta) without giving away too much information on the story. Anyone with me?


I agree. Good thing there are Einsteins still around.

Confirmed Mythic Map pack 2 Blowout. Bummer huh?

Nevermind, at least we can say for sure that on September 22nd, there's gonna be at least something small on the ODST Disc before the beta comes out.

They have got Fillion in there podcast today so hopefully that means they'll release something to do with Reach then have him discuss it on the podcast. I'm remaining optimistic about it :D

About the Beta thing they can release info on it any time after ODST is released, doesn't actually have to be before you still get the same results.

I'm sure that's what they said, other than people playing Halo 3 MM obviously.

The first major Halo 3 reveal was at E3 in May of 2006, with the game releasing September 25th, 2007. ODST got its trailer July 2008 (or thereabouts), and the game is due September 22, 2009. We've technically be given the Halo: Reach trailer "on time" for a fall 2010 release. The problem with Reach is that, by comparison to Halo 3 and ODST, the teaser trailer tells us very little about the game. I understand people's disappointment that Bungie Day didn't bring more Reach content. We have come to expect a certain standard of preview content, and it does feel like we've been shortchanged in this instance.
