i m not sure this is a joke. Im sure chess is not the focus of the halo reach dev team but i think the footage speaks to the amount of customization that halo reach will offer. Maybe we will be able to do so many new things with forge that we will be able to make a chess like game if we wanted to.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Har har har... although it WAS expected, very funny.

I am he who walks above the abyss
upon a mountain of sky
I am he who descends to the blackest nights
to the ever-slumbering restless
I am he who releases his star
which will shine and burn
I am the abyss / I am the storm / I am the sky

I was all, "Yay! Multiplayer Vidoc! Oh wait... it's April Fools day, isn't it?"

Yeah, the chess thing was TOTALLY believable.

I still like looking at the pretty elites and spartans killing eachother.

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

I applaud you, Bungie. I struggled greatly with trying to persuade my father to get into Halo, but he just couldn't see the pizazz. Now, with this new gametype and combination of our two greatest loves, I feel we finally have something to relate to. *tear*

Also, for those looking for a high definition YouTube video of the ViDoc, here you are.

But does it have the Halo 1 pistol? No? FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I have Recon?

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

If this doesn't make it into the final game I will be severely disappointed.

April 1st? really. Hmm...

Take with a grain of salt and wait and see if its still up tomorrow.


If you watch the video till the very end, you will see that they state it is merely an april fools joke.

I know, I hadn't seen the video when I posted that.

Better question though: Can we actually gleen anything of use from this vidoc?
Where is the colloseum? Do we now have bottomles clip as an option in custom games? (note when the first person shot firing a rocket, the ammo count doesn't go down).

Did anyone notice that once the monitor went into the elite the sword had a charge bar? Is that the human equivalent of the reticule bloom? Maybe we are going to have to wait for the sword to fully charge to do instant kill.

I know =(

By the way, that hanger looks pretty sweet, and those gigantic walls around it look rather... I dunno, forge like? ;-)

April Fools day this year is lacking, my dear Bungie, if this is all we have to expect. What I am most curious about, however, is if Chess is a real possibility in Reach or not. If you actually put that in... that would be awesome.

If interested, contact me.

Seems fishy this is out April 1st. (April Fools).

Bungie always has something up their sleeve.

  • 04.01.2010 10:05 AM PDT

That was awesome, I would play it if it were actually in the game.

  • 04.01.2010 10:06 AM PDT

Did I ever tell you how much I love you guys?

Yes, I did actually, but I'll say it again.

This is why I like being part of the community, Bungie must be one of the most lighthearted developers out there, so I salute you, once again.

btw Backgammon dates back longer than Chess, just sayin.

Lol. Backgammon? It's time to introduce you to a real Strategy Game

  • 04.01.2010 10:07 AM PDT

I think that is actually a brilliant idea, screw April fools, how about actually add that in the game lol. You know like in the menu how it says, Matchmaking, Campaign, Theatre, blah blah and then you have Chess.
