- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.
- I have asperger's syndrome
- This is the best used 20 seconds of your life
- Official helper to the Halo: Reach - The Armor You'll Be Wearing This Fall! Thread

Cool.

I do have some questions..

Will there be a way to re-upload our awesome screenshots and clips to bungie.net or fileshares when reach "falls"?

Can you give a vauge number to total armor peices? Over 10 per section? Over 30 total?

Better yet, will there be more armor than the ones that had spawned via glitch during Invasion?

I once heard an old man say " Years ago, i sold my trumpet for something to eat, and know i know it would be better to die of hunger."

I upload a ton of Halo clips on my YouTube channel, feel free to subscribe.

I miss the Beta!

Wait a minute...

Anyway, what an update.
More questions than answers, I should think...
Still, I'm pumped.

Yup, the meaty mix being fed into the crazy sausage grinder is still being taste-tested for spice and flavor. Base player traits like speed and jump height, the aforementioned melee and grenade mechanics, HUD and reticle display, weapon mechanics and balancing, vehicles, Armor Abilities, and more are all on the table..[/quote]Bungie has seen the light!

Will they change the width of the elite head and delete the dorsal fin on the plasma pistol as well, Urk? (By the way if you can suggest to the LLC to include the cool, colorful build up of energy monitor that would be TOTALLY awesome.) -CM

As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

Me thinks Bungie may surprise us with release date.

But really, good update, nice job! Can wait to hear more on the games progress!
Now, I return to my cave and wait for E3...rabble rabble rabble(and hopefulyl a release date)

~Sleep is for the weak!!~

I just have a few ideas bungie could toss around if the wanted. Which would be custom armour and color set for the players elite and maybe even the ability to customize a few loadouts. Nothing overly powerful. Just making it more personal. Oh and I ersonally love the idea of adding more armour sets for your character. Creates the posibility of more unique spartans and elites. hope you enjoy my input. I love bungie. And never blame stosh hes innocent.

Ah another sweet, sweet update. One quote made me laugh hysterically, given that it's 12:15am, and that it's also genuinely hilarious:

"It's all pretty slick and ultra sexy. I could spend hours just fiddling with my dude and yes, I do know how that sounds."

Thank you, Bungie, for putting forth the Beta for all of us to experience. I have been playing Halo sice Halo 1 back in 2002, and I also participated in the Halo 3 Beta. I was very impressed with how things are coming along. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to experience a taste of your fantastic game.

And thanks for the quitter ban as well. I know a lot of 12 year olds are complaining about it, lol.

Good update.

I hope to hear something on the campaign front soon.

Tank Beats Everything!

Will Bungie have a booth up for Reach at E3 like the ODST booth last year?

I still have my list for hopes for the final release.
- Marathon armor and emblem (I saw a Spartan in Marathon armor in the background art of the beta Main Menu, so I have high hopes)
- Vehicles from Halo Wars included in campaign, and maybe the multiplayer.
- A pilot-able Pelican for campaign and multiplayer (I've waited four games for it already!).

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.

I'm definitely pumped for all this armor customization.

Knee pad customization? Yes.

Live free, or die epically.

Dear Bungie,
I do not know if you even care, but here a few things that I would like to suggest (as well as others if they saw me suggest them), mainly having to do with variety. Why such a broad spectrum? Because that is how my mind works.

1.Halo Wars-esque Vehicles (at least in campaign)
2.Personal Teleporter Armor Ability-Warm up time, jump, cool down time, etc.
3.Knife as a Primary Weapon-like Counterstrike, but better
4.Race-Specific Infection-die spartan, respawn elite, etc.
5.Unlimited Armor Abilities in Custom Games-infinite jetpack, etc.
6.MORE ASSASINATIONS!!-more brutal (Gears-style), animations from the front (like in the beta trailer), all around darker (to prove that "Little Kids Beware" is not just a saying)
7.Hologram Armor Ability-creates 3 limited-time "clones" with semi-intelligent AI that follow the creator around, WITHOUT dealing damage (I know what I am talking about)

If I have accidentally spoiled any closely-guarded secrets or planned features to the point that the public knows of them, then of course you have permission to send a Black-Ops team to my house after me. I will allow you to do that, Bungie. I like you that much.


As a side note, what should one study in school in order to get a job in level design with you or another company? I would love to work for you now, but I cannot (damn child labor laws).

I'm literally dying here in wait for the full release. I already miss the beta! =(

Great update, concise and yet very informative. A quick question about the development process of the game, how do you store the current build to insure it isn't deleted by an error of some sort? Is it kept in different parts, or is there one central beast?

As per request, I'll forgive Stosh; but I still blame him.
