Get WorkPLaced!!

Now THAT was an update. I didn't want it to end, but I knew it was inevitable. I can't wait for the beta, and the game this fall.

This will be the definitive, game of games!

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Interesting, soooo many changes to the Halo arsenal.
To be honest I am worried.

I will just Have to trust in Bungie that Halo: Reach, despite all the modifications, will still be the same Halo we all love.

Reach Map Variants

My Twitter

I dug my toes in.

It felt like warm, beach sand. ...Except for the part where it didn't feel like sand and instead hit on my mother.

That part was totally not cool. Everything else: *thumbs up*

Tank Beats Everything!

I have to say, my excitement for Reach was slowly building before today's update. Now I am thoroughly excite to try out the new weapons and abilities we'll have at our disposal. I'm sure there will be plenty of people that are gonna whine about loadouts, it taking away from the run-and-gun style that Halo has been branded with, but I see it as a welcome change to the series. It's not like it's going to be a class-based shooter like Modern Warfare 2 or Team Fortress 2, where you are primarily restricted to what you start out the match/life with. Sure you can somewhat choose your starting weapons but as soon as you get in game you can pick up weapons just like in any other Halo. So in the end, the whiners are people who can't stand change, and hate the idea of stepping up to new challenges. I'm excited about the load outs because it gives players an option that suits their playstyles.

For instance, in objective games like CTF or Assault and using the load outs pictured in the update: Players who like to rush the enemy would probably choose between Air Assault and Grenadier since their abilities allow them to quickly cross terrain and get to the goal; Long range players would choose the Expert Marksman, the sprint allowing the player to reach the sniper rifle quickly and then get to an area where they would be most effective; And defenders would likely choose Operator, being already armed with a shotgun is a plus and 2 or 3 players using the Armor Lock ability can probably deter and/or defeat an enemy rush if used at the right time.

The possibilities for better strategies already has my mind primed with tactics to use, even with much still being unknown. I have high hopes for this game, with only 3 things in my mind that I still hope for: a Reach version of the Security (Marathon) armor, a pilot-able Pelican, and vehicles from Halo Wars to appear even if they aren't pilot-able (namely the Vulture for UNSC and the Locust for the Covenant).

Keep up with the awesomeness Bungie!

Kramniacka is dead.

Sounds pretty tight. I can't wait for Reach to come out! I already pre ordered it like four months ago.

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

Elites look so sick! Great update guys.

same here

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I'm so glad they clarified more about the Elites in this update. I'm an Elite player and I look forward to more info about them in Multiplayer! What I really want to know is if we'll be able to choose to be Elites whenever we want. I desperately hope so.

I could have eaten a box of Alphabits and crapped out more logical proof than that...

Great update! May 3 can't come soon enough!

One of the big tenants of Reach's core multiplayer weapon design was to give each weapon its own unique role, right?

Tenants, Urk? More like "tenets".

Many Entry: Tenet
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, he holds, from "tenere" to hold
Date: circa 1600
Definition: A principle, belief or doctrine generally held to be true; especially one held in common by members of an organization, movement or profession.


Did you learn English in Canada or something?

If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

Holy -blam!-. That might have been the best Weekly Update. Ever.

The updates are amazing, and the new changes in Reach are awesome too, the only thing i didn't like was the fact the Gun from the Warthog has to overcharge :/

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Nice update. Making me want Reach more and more.

  • 04.02.2010 8:14 PM PDT

Thank FSM the Warthog cannon is nerfified. Is the Guass Hog back? If so, do me a solid and dial the rate of fire down to Only Half The Team Will Quit.

  • 04.02.2010 8:27 PM PDT

Love this update to death.
