Subject: My chat with Bungie (Nice hint at Reach)

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

and then i ask "Is Reach based on the book?" to which Shiska laughs even more and Urk quickly says "We want to say something...But we'd lose our jobs so No Comment"


lol! And as long as the Multiplayer is ''Awesome'' I'm really happy, and campaign will be great hopefully.

Mmm, it was quite funny because after that, as a joke i said to Shishka "Shishka, can i officially be the first person to ask: I can haz flamez?" Which made him chuckle (When he realised i was joking :P)

Besides, we have never seen a squad of five spartans in combats. Do you know how much ass they are going to kick?

And yet, they are powerless to stop the world burning around them as the Covenant glass the planet around them. They are amazing, but there are just too many. They have nothing left to lose and a covenant armada before them. A nice contrast, yes? Time to go crazy.

It wouldn't be as special with the other spartans we know about, we know they live, we know that chief lives for quite a while, hell, chief never really fought in the battle of reach. All tension would be lost if we played as them.


I think the problem of a Squad of Spartans is that, in theory, they are supposed to be badass. But there is always the limitations of AI, or in Bungie's case, Squad AI, which throughout their games, have repeatedly proven that they can't do. If Bungie wants to make a Squad of Spartans work as advertised, they HAVE to improve friendly AI and hold back some specifically for the Spartans.

maybe they knew that you would go right to the forum and that is why they did not tell

That is a good point. They can't trust Reach Sensitive information out to just anyone.

Though you did learn something:

There IS ALREADY a Multiplayer Build that they believe is BETTER THAN HALO 3!

Anyway, Guessing Kurt is probably what made Shishka start laughing. Kurt was working with the Spartan IIIs and had NOTHING to do with the Battle for Reach.


Hype building. No doubt Reach would be awesome but the folks at Bungie have jobs to keep :) They have to say its awesome.

And yea, Shishka was probably laughing at the Kurt comment.

And its nice that you met them. They'll never come to Singapore and hence, I'll never meet them.

I understand they have to say that but still, was nice to hear it :P Also, i only mentioned Kurt because i was having a nerdgasm :P But...think about it, there could've been some Spartan IIIs there...I KNOW Kurt couldn't have been there as he was on Onyx when Reach fell but it is mentioned in Ghosts of Onyx that there was a company of Spartan IIIs shipped out a few days before the books start and there could be some more we don't know of...Anyway, it was mainly because of the nerdgasm :P

Hey

So my plan... it ... failed? I sent you in there to get a job done, and you bring me back this!!!??? BAH!


Glad they didn't say anything, you should just wait till it comes out. ;)

However, though cool, there is no hint I see.

They are laughing because of how far off you are.

Think about it. If you want to create a videogame that is interesting and completely doesn't destroy established canon, it's easier to create five completely new characters and talk about their stories (in this case, five unnamed spartans that fought with the Red Team on the surface of Reach) than to try to take the characters from some book who's ultimate fates we already know and try to change the story to make it more interesting.

Daaaaaaamn, good point.

Maybe he isn't that far off but I'd like to imagine they were laughing because of how badly they wanted to answer and how dedicated the player was.

Indeed..

Okay, I have a little hint too. Now this might seem like a joke, so don't get your expectations up to high.

A friend of mine played in the 'Bungie versus the World' playlist, and after hours and hours of playing he finaly met a couple of Bungie members. Sadly enough he lost, but after the game they told him that with Halo Reach multiplayer, you could choose between Human, Elite AND Brute.

I know that this sound riduculous, because Bungie members can't just leak information about a upcoming game.

But still, I don't think being a brute in multiplayer isn't a bad idea, more variation.. Maybe Bungie meant this with 'Awsome' multiplayer...?

I believe that this is their major goal for the campaign. They were able to improve the AI for brutes from Halo 3 to Halo 3: ODST right? I'm sure they wouldn't make the game if they couldn't make AI that were strong enough to accomplish the intended effect of making you feel like you were part of something legendary.

That Shishka guy need to zip his lips, now everyone knows there is going to be awesome in Reach!

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

So, you learned nothing. Also their multiplayer Beta will probably be the same multiplayer Beta we will be getting in spring 2010.

YANKEE OSCAR UNIFORM ROMEO ECHO - ALPHA NOVEMBER - INDIA DELTA INDIA OSCAR TANGO - SIERRA OSCAR - SIERRA TANGO FOXTROT UNIFORM!!!! -Me

I actually got to meet a bunch of the Bungie guys when I was in Seattle, visiting my sister, and went to PAX. Shishka and everyone else there signed my Bungie brand Bungie Yo-yo, except Marty,BAD SNEAKY MARTY, who snuck away right after the Prepare to Drop thing. I talked to Joe Staten and Lars, and Curtis who was really awesome, you rock Curtis. If by chance anyone from Bungie reads this tell Marty that he still has to sign my Yo-yo. But yeah the only thing the Bungie guys/and gals will comment on are things that are either speculation or stuff that doesn't give anything away. They are such teases, lol.

I may not have LEARNED anything but, to me atleast, it sounded pretty "juicy"... Just figured i'd share it with the community...

And i appreciate that. All the "this needs to happen", "Br In Reach" threads makes my head hurt. Bungie has been working on Reach for over almost two years now and nothing from this forum will be implemented in Reach. The deals have been made and the ships has sailed (and perhaps some Misses got nailed).

What Bungie should do is make a new forum called the "Next secret game ideas forum". We just need the info on what kind of a game it is. So Bungie help us help you! The future of gamemaking!

What? miniwall of text already? Damn you letters!
