A fantastically juicy update. The weapon sounds were a real treat, and those 'nades? Man, I love having a bass booster. I CANNOT WAIT to fly a Falcon. And crash it. What? It's what I do!

Have a good weekend guys.

As for the mystery weapon... I was first going to say Laser, then I heard it shoot, and I honestly didn't care what it was. All I know is that it WILL pack a punch.

I prefer señor Legendary Member.

Roadhouse.
I have seen the powers at hand and I can honestly say I am not ready

Awesome update.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

The gun sounds are so bad ass. Can't wait to hear what the plasma rifle sounds like.

Glad to hear you guys fixed the sniper rifle.

DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Nary a comment about the use of Elites in multi-player.

Speaks volumes to me.

I better get planning my Elite going away parties and goodbye videos. Tears are welling up in my eyes already. :(

Hmmmm, I don't know...

  • 01.29.2010 4:11 PM PDT

All that comes to mind is wow! Busting myths, playable Falcons, and some uber-weapon of mass destruction; I can only hope those last two items are in the Beta!

The tone of the AR and DMR seems too similar to me. They still sound good.

The sniper was being repeatedly shot at ~0.5 seconds or less, which is faster than the ~0.75 seconds of the Halo 3 Sniper.

Definately not. The weapon we heard has a charge time, and fires high explosives that sound like plasma grenades when they detonate. The Needle Rifle would fire like a rifle - no charge time, shots as you pull the trigger.

  • 01.29.2010 4:13 PM PDT

Fantastic update, and I absolutely LOVE the gun sounds.

But, as with every interview, I will say this:

Please make the gameplay even more epic. I'm weird: the more I hear about the art and the sounds the more nervous I get that you guys aren't talking about how you've vastly improved gameplay. I just hope these updates aren't a shield.

Unless the beta is totally meant to show us gameplay.

That new weapon sounds like you combined a Bass Hunter album with some explosives.

No.

The AR/ Plasma grenade sound too uch like the Hal 3 versions.

Not that the Hlo 3 versions were bad (well he AR was)

But everything's supposed to be DIFFRENT. Like, the stylistic change between Halo 1-2 and 2-3.

Why is everything here so Halo 3 inspired? Shouldn't it all be it's own thig?

Especially the Flesh parts of the grunt. It's just WAY too Halo 3 ish in terms of style.

Want to see advanced Halo stats not offered by other Halo stat websites? Check out MetaHalo.com, the stats website I am working on. Reach stats currently in development.

Like BTB? Check out bigteambattle.net!

Damn, sound effects are vastly improved. I can't wait.
