Fun fact:
Grizzled Ancients have never beat a team that I'm on in Halo.

They won't this year either.

"Cup stays here." Cup ain't been there for years, kids.

Calling the ancients kids?
How many heads has that mighty sword severed?
It needs a better name. The sword of the seven? Something as cool as the banhammer hopefully. Durandal would be a good name.

From what I hear Marty is pretty good at Firefight. There is even an achievement named after him. And let's not forget that the grizzled ancients have an "overabundance of Marty O'Donnell." Sounds to me like you're in trouble this year.

How can you have too much Marty?

You will be missed.

Barrython (Our annual Street Fighter tourny) is one of the "unofficial" side events that goes on during Pentathlon. Its team agnostic and the victor does not get points for his group.

I could only hope to see the Halo: Reach secret gameplay on the webcams, but that's not going to happen. Good luck to all!

  • 01.07.2010 2:40 PM PDT

Pentathalon!
That's cool, I guess.

Super secret Reach game mode!
Bleh!

Just when I thought Halo might just have a rousing return to form in the form of a good game the words "highly competitive" come to smear my hopes for bungie in 2010 across the all too disappointing face of reality.

Whenever you make something, by intention, competitive you inherantly pander to the worst within us. Egotism, primarily, becomes the core motivation of the experience as your will to win takes center stage. At that point, compelling and sensibly design gameplay becomes moot because such engaging elements are unnecessary intermediaries for the competitive experience. Best, in this case, to keep it a simple engagement between players with counfounding variables kept to an absolute minimum so skill can be touted as the deciding factor and thus validate the win. And so little else is left, in this case, but the ego, an ego that excludes such elements as fun and enjoyment (in the purest sense fo the words, rather than the twisted wretches that they can be made to represent through misconception) because such constructs can only interfere with the gloating and moping of it's victories and defeats respectively for which that ego lives.

And so, Reach is most certainly dead to me. I was hoping for something of interest towards the end of this calendar year, but I suppose that Natal alone will just have to do.

Why don't you just open up and tell us how you really feel? :P

In addition to my lobotomy, I am requesting some anti-depressants for Matu.

Lol what an epic battle going on. I can tell that every Winter Pentathlon must be very competitive!

Halo is great. Bungie is great.

Stupidity ensues. I can not escape the moronic ideas of the commoners of this infinitesimal terrestial ball. CHUCK E. CHEESE has the best pizza known to mankind. Therefore, it would be impossible for you guys to have better pizza. Please stop making such asinine statements. They make me wonder if you have even tasted the pizza that is Chuck E. Cheese's. If for some reason you have not tasted said pizza, then I will now command you to do so. Go, and be vigilant. Taste that which has no competitor and to which all pizzerias pay homage. Anthropomorphic mice have always and will continue to make the best pizza known by any form of life anywhere ever.


I disagree.
How canst thou disagree if thou hast ne'er tasted the cheese and tomato pie that is made by the Mouse and his compatriots? If thou hast tasted and still disagree, though must goest to thy nearest tongue and taste bud doctor to have thy tongue checked for lack of taste buds or some sort of malfunction. If after receiving said exam, and thy tasting mechanism turns out to be quite well and healthy, then I would appreciate it if you could provide some other example of pizza that bests Chuck E. Cheese's.

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

I think there should be two or three never before seen screenshots of Reach included with the pentathalon results, but just to be evil they should be (hud-less) close ups of stuff like some grass or a rocky wall or a warthog tire :p

Which is why it'll be extra embarrassing when it happens this year. :p
