I hate when you go online to play ranked or social matche and you wind up in a rocket or spartan laser match. Your like 'ah sugar cookies!' So have to be very careful cause your team mates will blow you away either on accident or on purpose. One thing i hate you got one person on team that keep killing your team mates and yours dude what the hell on yo----. Your dead.

i think thats so true we sould go on strike for that stuff im not kidding I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!!

It all sounds complex to me when speaking about the new weapons, but I'm sure I'll get along on the beta!

To be honest now, there's something I don't like about the Load-Out. It's just that.. it will greatly make the multiplayer system exceptional from the other Halo multiplayer games to which we've been getting used to for the past 10 years. It reminds me of the reality 1st person shooter games, which I personally don't like, and one of the reasons are the "Choosing Your Gear When Respawning".
Maybe.. it might be fun.. yes I am now changing my mind as I'm writing the comment. I just need to wait for the beta and find out!

But really, the Beta trailer has impressed me! I also saw one of the ViDocs. Seeing that you're trying to revive the Halo: CE campaing system makes me full of glee!

This IS going to be an exceptional game, as I can see. I appreciate you, Bungie!



For the Great Journey!

Halo Reach Chess for double exp weekends

I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Ok now if Bungie makes it so the player is still alive during the split second after your assailant takes you down but before he actually stabs you that would be UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME. Just imagine, you see your buddy turn the corner, the fool thinks he's safe!...or she. An enemy reveals himself, he was invisible the whole time! Your buddy gets taken down to his knees, you see the enemy take out his knife- but wait! you have a sniperrrr. Omg boom head shot and your teammate quickly gets back on his feet. I realize that this is more work for Bungie seeing as they would have to write another animation script in order for a dude to get back on his feet, but IMO it would be just so satisfying knowing that WITHOUT a doubt you totally just saved that dude's life. Or dudette's!
I was praying that epic games would do the same thing with the assassinations in g.o.w. Same story, you're down but not out and some fool comes up to curb stomp you. You're on your back screaming bloody murder, practically kissing the guy's boot when POP! the attacker's head is no longer whole. You would then believably get back into the normal down but not out position.

True friendship is a gift, Oh so precious and so rare
Sometimes we take it for granted, Sometimes we do despair
Our fault is being human, Mistakes are everywhere
Please let me not lose the gift, That is so precious and so rare.

"A leader must be ready to send soldiers under his command to their deaths"

We've heard everything about the reincarnated Elites, We've heard about skirmishers, and we've heard about the new grunt fashon but are there going to be brutes? And If there are hunters what do those look like?

Awesome update. Can't wait for the Beta!

  • 04.06.2010 8:21 AM PDT

People think I've changed just 'cause my appeal has grown

I was thinking about killing myself last night but now that I see this I see that I actually have something to look forward to in life. This game looks great!

The video at the bottom Stosh put in there doesn't work for me. Guess I should blame Stosh for that too.

Check out my youtube page its all about Halo, and Halo Reach http://www.youtube.com/user/Grantshizzle?feature=mhw5

I'll finish this. No, we'll finish this. If it's the last thing we do, we'll make them pay for what they've taken from us. And I promise, revenge will be sweet.

Now I have some Qs for you:
1) With the inclusion of the DMR/Magnum, Focus Rifle, and Plasma Launcher, does that mean we wont be seeing the Battle Riffle, Beam Rifle, Sentinal Beam, or Fuel Rod Gun?

2) Will the Falcon be the only "Arial Warthog", or will it have a Covie Counter-part?

3)The new Rocket Launcher reticle makes me think there'll be a form of lock on. Am I correct?

and 4) How bad does it hurt to be as awsome as you are?

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

One thing I notice that kinda bugs me is the sprites for the loadout screen. Why are the pictures of the guns you will have sooo small!! Look at all that negative space off to the right!! Use it up! Tired of all these xbox games and their tiny font. We can't all have enormous blu-ray whatever TV's. That is the only thing though, this game looks epic otherwise.

Overally cool... except that the Halo: CE isn't back unless we talk about visuals.

Thx

do you think that bungie should apply the self made load outs or should they keep it at the set ones for the certain maps?
I hope that this time they dont make us wait for maps its annoying and cost us wayyyy more than originally intended which is what THEY intended worth it but its a leech on the wallet if you ask me xD

Power Timer : the ultimate Halo Reach weapon respawn app for the iPhone and iPod touch (download it today)

Wow. That was a long update! You could have saved a TON of time by summing up most of the new features with 'just like in modern warfare'...

hey dude i have a question on may 3rd i got got and pre ordered odst and do i just go to extras on the odst main menu??

Both weapons and the spartans/elite looks great. Cant wait for the beta

  • 04.07.2010 7:24 PM PDT

Halo Reach sounds awsum!

but,

1) not having load outs was a great thing about halo, although it kind of is the same as halo 3 with game veriants, and just gives a bit more customisation. so thats not great.

and

2) even though it was april fools chess would be so much funn lol, if you get bored of campain/multiplayer, it would be a fun type of game, and with xbox live games coud be lots of fun =D

Check out 8 1/2 SPARTANS

Doesn't sound too balanced.
It still seems like people will spawn with whatever weapon they want...

Why can't we just choose what ability we want in character customization and then get the weapons while playing a match?

Will elites get jet-packs too?
Will rolling be only for elites?
Will the elites have execution moves?
What does the needle rifle do?
