Tank Beats Everything!

Man, as much as I'm seeing people liking these new changes, there are just as many people whining that they don't want to have anything change. The problem is that if nothing changes, there is nothing new to entice the player to stick around because it gets boring. As much as all of you whiners are complaining before even the beta is out, and even though you make empty threats like you won't buy Reach, everyone still knows you will still get it, and if you liked the previous Halo games there is a slim chance of you not liking it. Because even will the new bells and whistles, it's still going to be Halo.

I would like it though if the people who whined about every little different thing would follow through with not buying the game. Would make it so much more enjoyable for the rest of us that want to play.

In short, stopping judging a game before you even play it.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It all sounds sooo tasty. Mmmmmm, good.

Dear Bungie,
Read your own books, Spartan's have more advanced shielding technology then elites do. Elites are just ridiculously stronger and can therefor take more bullets. If you have read any of your books that feature spartan II you would know this. Please take this into consideration.

Whats the reason to post if you haven't even read it yet?

And on topic, awesome update! Glad to see they've started letting these things out of the dark.

Specifically I'm really looking forward to trying out the Plasma Repeater myself. The old Plasma Rifle was my baby ever since Halo CE, never let me down throughout the past three games, I can't wait to try out it's souped-up successor.

Weapon loadouts = hawt

Same here the new plasma rifle looks better. One thing i hated about plasma weaposn they were useless afteryou were done used up all th energy. I hope beem rifle able to reload or recharge, nothing worse than used up sniper rifle and no clips to feed it.

We lost power around here before the update came up...just read it, and wow, I'm suprised at two things:

1. How Bungie can take what makes other games great, strip them down to their essence, and make them decidedly 'Halo'.

2. The continued progression of ideas in Weapons and Equipment from Halo CE all the way to Reach.

It's gunna be a long wait until May....

Spartans Never Die!

Nice Update. haha I love the Apri Fools thingy! lolz

Nice Info also!

~Spartans Never Die!~

Bungie, I think you overpowered the Elites, i mean Spartans are supposed to be superior to the Elites, why else do the covenent consider Spartans a huge threat? if a Spartan cant kill an Elite in a 1 on 1 fight, the war would have been over a long time ago in the game.

Also will loadouts effect gametypes like infection at all? infection is going to be in Reach right?

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.

Awesome update!

Terrible clip, Stosh :-(

Differentially balanced player models?! Gametype specific loadouts?! Interesting weapons?!

Either Bungie posted a day late april fools or they've been making a good game. :)

God damn that was one juicy update! Nice!

Answer me this;
The grenade launcher can't one-hit people right?

If it is, then matchmaking will turn into an all-too-familiar nade launching campfest.

Anyway, I do have faith in you, given all the changes you seem to have made, I am very excited, and cannot wait 30 days.

I think that the lockdown roll and that you can bean people with frags is sweet!
plus the pro pipe I think is awesome it looks like you could set traps by just holding down the trigger

  • 04.03.2010 6:29 PM PDT

no I remember that they said it's the same mechanic as in halo 3 the spartan and elite models have a basic hitbox that never changes.

  • 04.03.2010 6:35 PM PDT

The Focus Rifle is a mix between the Sentinel Beam and the Beam Rifle. So it's like the Sentinel Rifle or...the Beam Beam...

As amazing as all of the updates are, I'm just wondering why the original Combat Evolved-era Mark V's upper protection piece is still a no show even if it made the Mark V recognizable. I mean yeah you can tell its the Mark V by the aesthetics of the helmets foundation, but why hasn't it made any sign of its return. If it was reincarnated in Halo 3's permutations, why is it still absent from the game that's only moments prior to the first game it appeared in? I am sorry if I sound like I'm ranting but, its not intended to be any type of insult or whining. I'm just stating my concern with the games canon.

Two tons of cold steal and sex appeal!!!!

I want to see the new assassinations from the perspective of the victim. Will it all be first person? I think a video post is needed for this :).
