Bungie, I love Halo, it's always been my favorite FPS, but if your going to go Call of Duty style with Load Outs, make it so we can have custom Load Outs, just restrict starting with power weapons instead of giving us piece of crap premade classes

There have been some quality updates the last couple of weeks.

"To Mend and Defend"

AW, man

the real messed up thing was, I thought the chess idea was pretty cool. It would make for a nice custom game mode. I had a similar idea from this a while ago dealing with Halo 2. dealing with territories, in that when a team takes a territory, better weapons or vehicles or equipment spawn, adding a element of strategy to the territories game type.

I was actually looking forward to that. :(

Also, will you be able to come up with your own load outs in CUSTOM game matches? I'm thinking more from doing this in forge or the game types editor, for Custom/Machinima Stuff.

I told you fools! Those who didn't believe what Loadouts were have epically failed!

Allow me to thank whatever parties were involved with adding on overheat element to the Warthog's gun. Now I can dump all my stock in Johnson's Old-Fashioned Triggerglue...

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

Well this one seals the deal.
Until Reach comes out (or at least the beta), no more even thinking of looking at the W.U.'s.

Trying hard or hardly trying?

Sweet update. I am kind of disappointed a little for the beta because it looks like we wont get to test out assassinations in that build. Did anyone else see that too or am I just reading into things too much?

Bungie is killing the halo saga with the new Sh***T in reach. I love this game and still play, but with the way the new game is looking(a.k.a. call of duty) im losing intrest. They have to keep it more like halo 2 and 3. the load outs and and no rankings is extremely dissapointing, and Ghey. F**k BUNGIE for ruining the best game out there.

Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.


Let's skip the foreplay and get right down to the updatin'.


Do that more often <3

Wonderful update! Some interesting design choices being made, can't wait to see how they play out!

  • 04.03.2010 2:22 AM PDT

Loadouts with different weapons don't belong in a Halo game. Bungie needs to stop catering to MW fans and stick to what Halo's always done in the past. This is the beginning of the end.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

This may, in fact, be the best update of all time.

To kill or to be killed, that is the question

I love making custom maps. I have made them for as long as they have been makable and I have always found that the one thing that kills a map for any player, MW or not, is not being able to get a weapon that fits their play style right off the bat. Bungie found a way to fix that small problem and still keep Halo's spirit intact via the weapons still on the map. If someone honestly thinks that that is stupid, they are either a troll or just plain incompetent.

Bungie is killing the halo saga with the new -blam!- in reach. I love this game and still play, but with the way the new game is looking(a.k.a. call of duty) im losing intrest.

Cry more, please. Change is good. Bungie have stated all along that Reach will be different to any other Halo games, but that it will be referencing the core elements of Halo: Combat Evolved. Think about it: no more moaning that you've got a good map, but Assault Rifle spawns. No more thinking "God, I can't get any kills with this starting weapon, so I'm screwed". It's going to work. Try playing it before you comment on how bad it is.

Of course, you could say to me to play it before saying how good it is, but just from looking at it, and knowing that Bungie knows best, it will be good. If you really don't like how it's sounding, don't buy it. Miss out, and we won't miss you.
