I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I now got the Legendary Edition pre-ordered!

I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Watch at 10:30 for the last Halo 2 live stream.

I'm a little confused by the "a player who kept on keeping on, well after our connection was severed" mention for Halo 2. There are still more than a few of us online, and still enough to play matchmaking. I just got out of a couple Team Training games half an hour ago.


We're blind. Our connection to Halo 2 matchmaking has been severed completely.

Great update. The control schemes seem annoying, I'll most likely experience a lot of melee attacks when trying to reload and a lot of grenade switches when trying to assassinate someone. Better be something I can get used to.

Invasion looks just awesome.

Its a waste of 120 bucks.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

Does anyone even read these?

The beta- it's super awesome! Invasion looks amazing, I can't wait to play it! Shame the Mongoose didn't make it into the beta, I guess I'm not too fond by how big it is to be honest. :/

i have every achievement from Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. So ya Bungie, its about time for Reach!

i pre-ordered the legendary edition from amazon this morning and the estimated arrival date was September 7! is anyone aware if this will be changed or rushed to the loving halo fans around the world who jumped to spend $150 on this super rare exclusive limited edition. Bungie employees, anyone with knowledge, plz help!

With the mention of offering a special armor to anybody who's played a Halo 2 matchmaking game, will that offer be extended to (the few and proud) Halo 2 Vista players?

I mean, if you're actually one of the few that even bought that game in the first place, you've got to be pretty damn dedicated... :P

Invasion is going to be one amazing gametype. It's gonna be really tough waiting out these last ten days.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Hmm. BJ isn't what I would have picked. :/

I really don't know which one i'll choose. I mean, I like to jump, but I may be using the AA quite a bit too. :/

Also, Septagon symbol on top of the tank in Boneyard. LMAO.

Oh, and Boneyard looks insane!

Good update. What's the reason for moving the melee button from B to RB on defult? I see that the grende switch button has changed but couldn't it have been moved to RB and left melee on B?

  • 04.23.2010 6:36 PM PDT

Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.

question

What happened to 4 of each grenade type?? Don't tell me that's not going to be in the game...
You remove 4 of each for halo 3 so you can add 2 useless grenade types and then when you realise you've -blam!- up and return to only 2 you don't bump the grenade count back up??

wtf is that...?
