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

Nice, but why do the Blame Stosh embedded videos never work?


Probably because you need to update your Silverlight player. :)

And no, Staten isn't going anywhere. Just the last time he'll record voice over for the Grunts.
Or try a different broswer to view the video, in firefox (my main broswer) the video loads up the bungie.net front page inside the video box (wierd) but in ye old internet explorer it runs perfectly.

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

And the blame Stosh was great.

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

Hehehe, I remember breaking into customs in the H3 beta. First time testing the new magnum, that was awesome.

Yup, you were stupid to never include that gametype into H3's list at any given time. Believe you call/called it Rally.

Q: Any call of Reach wheelman info?..would be great.

  • 04.17.2010 3:29 AM PDT

Don't want no negativity. :)

Halo Reach looks so good but i think that the Elites are a bit too overpowered but i guess i have to wait and see.

Come on May 3rd get here faster!

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

I thought the covenant weren't going to be speaking english for Reach. Did nobody tell little Joey?

Sam Fisher: Give me some intelligence or you'll be pushing up daisies in a cemetery full of guys just like you.
Hostage: I don't have any intelligence!
Sam: He he. You just called yourself stupid.

A worthier, new nobody.

But, of course, Chess won't be playable in the Beta. That'd be absurd.

Even if I say please?

I think genarator defense is gonna be awesome! PLEASE PUT IT IN THE RETAIL GAME!

Seeing that Bungie.net features are for next week, we hopefully might be seeing a new Service Record?

Also, when are we going see the default controller layout for the Beta?


I've been wondering that as well.

Very nice info! The more we find out about Reach the more I can't wait! So many very good design and gameplay choices that, I think, are going to make the experience so much more fun. Good work guys!

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

I'm so looking forward to this beta. xD Only a few days away.

It loads fine in my Firefox, make sure you have the latest version. Internet explorer is the last resort option. xD

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

Speaking of nuance, flag juggling didn't make the cut. Now, while you're snagging a flag, your base player traits will actually stick, for lack of a better term, for a brief moment just after you let loose. So, drop it like it's hot, but don't expect to get a speed boost for your efforts.
Gotta say, this really deflated me.

Is there a paragraph or two missing from the FFA section right before "unless you're the juggernaut"? Am I the only one that thinks that reads strangely?

It says something like "Free for all slayer stays the same, kill everyone", then there's a picture, then under that it continues "Unless you're playing juggernaut etc."

Well they might not speak english, but the grunts will still be saying something in Unngoyish or whatever their language is called.

Wait, you can't choose whether to be a Spartan or an Elite anymore? But I like being an Elite.....

well you can't choose, But think of it this way: now when you spawn as an elite, you'll be packing some awesome purple covie fire power immediately instead of having to find it.

P.S. Whoever it was at bungie that decided to get rid of flag/objective juggling, I love you <3! while game types are being discussed, you should make grifball a separate game type from assault and add even more options to it! also I think that Grifball is going to benefit hugely from loadouts, as now you could choose a specific position e.g. Quaterback and have particular weapons/armour abilities depending on whether you'd be trying to stop enemy bomb plants or running out up front to support your team's scoring efforts.

  • 04.17.2010 12:25 PM PDT

Info about some of the gametypes?
Ok.

Pics?
Ok.

Blame Stosh?
Ok.

Flag juggling is gone?

Well they've said they're including everything from the previous halo games that made Halo great, which we can automatically take Forge from that. But no, they haven't said it specifically.

  • 04.17.2010 6:02 PM PDT

You can pretty much guarantee that Forge will be back, and in the GTTV video, Geoff asks about Firefight and from the response it sounds like firefight could possibly make it in too. If you haven't yet go watch the new GTTV episode aboout Reach, the info and gameplay is amazing. Halo Reach GTTV

Your not alone. I was disappointed but honestly I saw it coming a long while back. Still, I love flag juggling.

Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death. -Psalm 22:12-15

"But, of course, Chess won't be playable in the Beta. That'd be absurd. Here's some stuff that will make the grade"

Chess hasn't been ruled out for the final game!
