Its great that the elites are even awesomer this time around. The new weapons are freakin sick! I know im gonna be using the plasma repeater all the time. And to all you complaing about the 'nade launcher, COD got to it first, so what? just enjoy shooting grenades at your enemies shamed face. THE ELITS ARE GONNA BE FREAKIN AWESOME!

This is going to be the best game I've ever played!

"Hey! I heard you fellas taste.... just like chicken!!"

I hoped they would improve the Plasma rifle, not replace it entierly in Multiplayer, adding a slight stun effect as in Halo 1. Anyway, I like what I see :)

Through my journey I have believed without doubt of the power inside of me. I used it with calm covalence, determined ability, and peace. Those around me see it as a guide, a beacon they have called the light through their darkness. Now, Descended as I may be, fallen into the Hollow Shell of a world by my own folly I still use this power. Through memory forgotten and allies fallen I remain strong. This power inside me will one day reveal itself, and I will use it as I always have for I am Lintro

Oh god this is horrible. This is exactly what i feared for halo. When they mentioned the load-outs i assumed that they were just the armor abilities. I thought about it at first it might be ok, bungie could make it so there is defensive types or human and elite load-outs but its just going to make the game uneven. The entire reason i played halo is because you spawn with standard weapons. We don't need the load-outs, that's what custom games are for. This game is just starting to look more like cod. I am disappointed bungie, i am sorry.

Please listen Bungie, Halo will die and loadouts are the poison.

he is right bungie

I think loadouts might be refreshing and hope that with them the side arm wont be replaced by another weapon like carrying rocket launcher and fuel rod cannon. Just when he ran out of rockets or reloading he quickly switches over to another all powerful weapon. It should be main Weapon and side arm with side arm never being replaced unless with another side arm much like in Killzone

Great update. I can't wait for the beta!

It's cool that each weapon has a defined purpose again, and all of the new weapons sound great, especially the one that combines the sentinel beam and beam rifle. The only thing I don't really like is the overheating warthog gun, but we'll see how that plays out.

Also I didn't like the idea of loadouts, but it's good that they can change them and might leave them out of some playlists or keep them mostly to custom games.

halo reach doesnt make sense to me why cant all the classes sprint and should be like halo 3 & 2 because you should find get the jet pack by unlocking it to give people a challenge and invisibility. you should not have to choose a class

All that I am, all that will be of me, is the blood on my hands, the memories of my fallen enemies and my respected comrades.

I don't know I've been a hardcore spartan since halo 2 but with the new bad ass elites I might have to switch btw do elites get other abilities beside roll?

As long as they still have weapons on the field like in all the others I'm good.

Awesome, although I hope the Magnum isn't as useless as it is in Halo 3... I abandoned it because of it's reputation of getting me killed often..

  • 04.04.2010 11:30 PM PDT

Sense alot of people in here seem to think the loadouts are unnecessary, Bungie should make a gametype called "Classic" where you start with a standard set of weapons. I have no problem with Bungie having a noobish grenade launcher after COD4, I'm just mad about how people will be using them. We already have a grenade spamming problem in Halo 3, now we have covenant and human grenade launchers! (Insert Expletive Here)!

Where is that essence of Halo I read about. Halo MP on PC has team play plus krazy mods funz.
This is lookin'/soundin'/readin' like more H3 Team FFA.
Give MS what they want, they do own Halo sadly. :(

Positive vibes.

Wait so we can now choose the type of class we want, such as grenader, marksman, etc.?

I play video games. I watch cartoons. I'm going to an art school, SVA (google it if you actually care). I am of the female persuasion. Yes, we do exist on the internet. No, I will not make you a sandwich or any other food. Nor will I do you any favors.

Hmm, I seem to have trouble watching the video.

Thanks a lot, Stosh. D':

Ah well, it was a good read at least.

Its not just gernade people always choose somethign with a bit more of a bang rather. Rocket launcher and Fuel rod cannons its all the same with people want cheap kills. I just hope gernade launcher doenst kill in one hit cause that make it just worse. But i do like the load outs makes it look like be more reifle and others weapons avaible for each class. Though personally think you shuld choose the special abilities that you want, cloak, jet pack, etc.

This game is going to be kick ass. i wish you could go hand to hand combat and drop out of an ODST drop pod onto the map below
