Hey Urk can the Elites Evade sideways. Also are we not going to see the Elites wielding the Plasma Repeater in the campaign at all?

  • 04.02.2010 5:19 PM PDT

There should be a "Beanball" gametype.

Where you can have unlimited grenades, make it so they don't explode, and play it without sheilds. :)

I'm trying to become an '04, but it's not working too well."

I wish there were a few more things about campaign being discussed

like the level of customization Noble 6 will have.

I mean we can do some stuff to his armor, but what about color, or emblems?

ah well, time will tell!

I don't want to join your group.

"In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite." - Paul Dirac

Now this is my kind of update!

I've said it before - weapon sandbox: looking better and better with each reveal.

  • 04.02.2010 5:32 PM PDT

Awesome wealth of information right there. I hope more updates give out as much info to get us up to speed as it goes on.

  • 04.02.2010 5:34 PM PDT

Sweetness!

Life to lifeless, to eternity.
Life to lifeless, the cycle repeats.

You link for Noble Actual is wrong. It leads to the Bungie podcast, not the Noble site.

Somewhere out there... in an alternate reality... Marty decided to stay in the ad jingle business, bringing about an age of amazingly orchestrated Pampers commercials.

Very informative update and I hope they keep on coming!

I just wanna know why the mongoose isn't being included in the Beta.

This is one of the few updates I actually read word for word. Not that they aren't good normally, but because this information is the stuff I found most interesting.

Halo: Out with a whimper
A fan made kick ass 2D Halo.

"The crunch on Halo 2 was, 'Oh my god, we're f***ed. We're all going to die.'" ~ Chris Carney

Oh joy, oh joy! Lots of super sweet information with pictures and everything =D

My favourite line was: "Even if you don't kill your enemy, you can bet they'll be encouraged to give up their ground and get behind something that doesn't smell like burning." which made me laugh out loud. I also clicked to make huge and downloaded pictures of the yellow jetpacker, the reach hog and the focus rifle to use as desktop wallpapers (using the yella fella now with the other two for later).

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Didn't they say something about that? Multiplayer customizations carry over to campaign and cutscenes. They even gave an example of, "If your pink with purple hearts all over you in MP, then you'll see that in Campaign too" or something along those lines.

Best Reach update ever.

"The Warthog's chain gun will now overheat after prolonged use" - I thought I'd never see the day...

I really cannot wait, Bungie. You're making it sound awesome. Too awesome. Is it May 3rd yet? No? How about now?

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Load Outs are not player created or defined, but rather playlist and/or game type specific. Essentially, they allow you to choose your Armor Ability, your starting primary and secondary weapons, and your grenade cache on the fly.


by "gametype specific", please, PLEASE make sure there is an option to limit armor abilities in Custom Games. Maybe bring up a checklist of different loadouts to choose from and the gametype maker can check off certain ones that aren't wanted.

After reading about the grenade launcher I think I need to go change my pants now OMG.

I don't think I will be missing my beloved brute shot after getting my hands on the grenade launcher.

i say with most confidence: that was the best update EVER.

Will Elite playlists/players have Covenant versions of the loadouts? or will they be forced to choose from the Human weapon loadouts?

Great update by the way, I'm liking the new Elites.

Hello
