Do you think we'll get some info (official, not leaked) on Reach, possibly in Waypoint, to counter the excitement for CoD MW2's release? Yeah Im buying the game but just because Ive got nothing left. A few bits and peices of info on reach would definitely keep me entertained for a while and away from that "game."

What would you like to see as a counter to CoD MW2's release?

By the way, we all know about the leaked photos, DO NOT post them here. Follow the rules, play nice, or GTFO.

Definitely a trailer. Much more satisfying to the public, and it also hypes it more.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

You get weekly updated.


And you get to know that if Shiska and Infinity Ward got into a fight, Shiska would win.

Assuming it was a match of Fisticuffs.

Probably not. I'm hoping for some info for Christmas, with more to come on the Beta next year, but other than that it seems unlikely.

Reach is still a year away, so there is no competition for now.

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

Another trailer please. I'd love to find out each spartan in the Reach picture. Either that or atleast more information on the characters on bungie.net...

How about nothing? Let MW2 have its spotlight for a few weeks, then when things start to settle down, Bungie starts slowly releasing information building up to the beta release. By the time the Beta comes out, everyone will forget about MW2 and be ecstatic over Reach.

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

Why would Microsoft combat a game they have no competition with? If anything it should be apparent that Microsoft is supporting the release of Modern Warfare 2. They want that game to be a huge success.

I would rather see an ARG opposed to the options listed.

We won't be getting anything via Waypoint, because Bungie doesn't actually own that.

Well Im already ecstatic over Reach. If Bungie put out a contract that said "We at Bungie will give you one new peice of info on Reach today if you sign this contract stating you will not buy CoD MW2" I would sign it with blood.

Bungie ftw

WHAMMIE!!

the stuff that's just been leaked, i figured that was the point of it.

I intend to buy both and play both. I am a fan of FPS games, I like more then specific titles.

If anything, the two games will more then likely compliment each other VERY nicely. One dose realistic modern day combat simulation. One dose of alien BEATDOWN.

As much as I try to get into CoD, Im just such a Halo fanboy nub, I cant do it. Sticking an opponent with a nade is the single most fun thing in video gaming history to me. I dont know, Im weird.

You are most definitely entitled to it. I am simply expressing my feeling that these games are not in competition as they are built with two types of gameplay in mind.

As you know doubt know after trying to play CoD, they are built with two seperate approaches to FPS. Two different species. The only thing they share is the fact they are called FPS.

Comparing them is a lot like comparing a Panther to a Lion. They act very different. They just happen to share the cat thing through circumstance.

  • 11.05.2009 3:40 PM PDT

I think it will be screen shots and the beta date. The beta date would not counter cod because people don't even know anything about what there going to be playing. I think we will see a screenshot in the next two weeks.

a trailer or informations about the spartans in the banner

WHAMMIE!!

well like i said, after today, they'd be better off just releasing something official.

  • 11.05.2009 3:47 PM PDT

Would have to be a trailer. I'm surprised at the amount of votes for the beta release date :S when we all know its spring, is that not enough? Knowing the date wont let you play it earlier.

  • 11.05.2009 3:48 PM PDT

Greg Giraldo, George Carlin, Bill Hicks. R.I.P.
T.M.Revolution = 音楽の神

A trailer, cinema without actual cutscene or gameplay, just a little movie where it shows alot of battle with a few sites at new weapons.

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

you really think bungie would let their prized possession leak out if there wasnt some alternative agenda?

i dont think so.

the pic leaks everyone keeps on posting all day are out just in time, co-inidentally just prior to the release of a massive competitor's brain child....

something smells fishy to me.

"We at Bungie will give you one new peice of info on Reach today if you sign this contract stating you will not buy CoD MW2"

Signed.....

Its not like Bungie's goal is to put the developers of CoD out of buisness. Their two style of games really fill different FPS niches, so they don't need to worry about crushing them just yet.

  • 11.05.2009 4:37 PM PDT

I hate the BR

Mw2 is going to be awesome

Yeah but its hard to believe they didnt allow this leak. At least something official would deter from mw2's initial shock value.

I once heard an old man say " Years ago, i sold my trumpet for something to eat, and know i know it would be better to die of hunger."

I upload a ton of Halo clips on my YouTube channel, feel free to subscribe.

i dont think Bungie gives a -blam!- about countering the release of MW2
