"Atrium" (?) looks quite interesting. Inspired by Hang 'em High?

March Multiplayer Madness!

All in all, it looks very nice.

And for everybody that is watching the trailer, look at the bottom left corner, just below and right of the minimap. Each area within a map has a sub-zone name. That'll be mighty useful for coordinating with party members as to your location. Actual names instead of vague descriptions that may or may not be useful. This will be a great change for multiple parties acting in sync.

Trailer is amazing! I cant wait for the beta. Although to everyone who is complaining about how they hope elites should be in more gametypes; I really hope they aren't - elites are so cheap.. anyone who has played swat or snipers knows what i'm talking about. Either that or bungie needs to fix the elite headshot glitch because its ridiculous

The question: Will today be remembered with nostalgia? I believe so.

Nice job.
is that 18 player games i see there?
I counted 11 or 12 dots on one of the radars. Radar jammer or 12 vs 12 battles?

Looks crisp.

"We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams."

Holy crap! That's a lot of awesome all at once! For some reason the Invasion mode has me most excited.
Well, that's unfair, because everything is awesome! More awesome than my body has room for!

And please say this track will be on the Reach OST.

Aughsftjhnts
I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, so... Just keep firing that crazy Reach sausage! Go go go!

Anyone else notice that the shades of red and blue for teams are pretty much what they were for Halo: CE? Combined with the old-skool yellow shield effects, it looks to me like the closest we'll ever get to a Next-Gen version of CE this side of a complete remake.

And, as a former Halo PC gamer (my first foray into the franchise - sigh... ^_^ ), I'm ECSTATIC. Little things like that make me happier than a chipmunk eating pot brownies. :)

Let's not even start on how the jetpack is stroking my overactive Boba Fett gland (most people have an adrenal gland - I swapped mine out years ago, because the BFG is AWESOME)...

Bungie, stop reading my mind and serving up the contents with a dollop of Awesome sauce! You'll kill me one of these days, I swear...

If you look above the scores a that point you'll see that it says "Slayer" and not "Team Slayer" :)

Hey, jet packs are awesome.

However, bells and streamers may make a bicycle look more appealing but unless you get down into the gearwork and make some meaningful changes there it's still going grind itself to pieces.

One shall stand, one shall fall.

My jaw was on the ground from 10 seconds in to the end of the trailer.
Tumbling?! In an FPS?! That was one thing I loved about the GoW/TF RotF multiplayer: the ability to tumble to dodge shots. Thank you, Bungie, for putting that in MP!
Jet packs?! Off the chain! That's going to be ridiculously fun.
New kill medals a la ODST? Cool addition.
Enhanced hand-to-hand combat?! Looks awesome!
New gametypes?! SWEET!
Sick new weapons?! Excellent!


I'm so pumped for this game, Bungie. I'm taking thd day off of school on May 3rd, and I might just have to take the whole week off. Reach looks epic beyond anything you guys have done before!

If you really were a true halo fan you would understand that most of what they are putting in is comming straight from the books. Not to mention that lots of the tech they used on reach never actually left the planet. Also there is alot of game mechanics and tech that bungie just didnt have when trying to make the other games, you would know that if u watched the vid doc. The trailer is amazing oh and if you want to get technical by saying they stole things from other games, Quake had alot of the basic stuff you just saw, basically any game that came out before the xbox and xbox 360 already had alot of that stuff. oh and uh how fun do you think the game would be if they gave you the same tech and gameplay feel as halo one, loved the game but you always have to upgrade.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Something worth signing in for to post about, this was definitely a welcomed surprise when I got up this morning. The trailer was great, it definitely sells Reaches multiplayer. I'm a little concerned how these loadouts/perks will truly effect the experience; I just don't want Reaches multiplayer to lose that Halo feel.

Oh and, jetpacks. Awesome.

"My backpack's got jets,..."

Enough of that. This makes me wish i was in the friends and family alpha. between the assassinations, the rolling, the sprinting,this game FEELS like a next gen game that Halo 3 should have been.

Hopefully there will be plenty of fixes during the Beta that will fix any quirks here and there. I just hope we will be able to have custom games so some of us can test the actual maps and be sure there are no areas that can be broken. May have to just settle with gather a whole party of people and then trying to test that, but either way I'll be sure to find anything I can that can get fixed.

I wonder how many of the game mode we will be testing in May...

I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

Damn it, this gets released the day I don't have access to my home PC, well, I better watch it tomorrow.

  • 03.03.2010 10:43 AM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Too much awesome for me.
