Follow the Don @Don_Gino you know where
Don't mistake my kindness for something else

omg I think I had a tiny little aneurysm after reading that! I am a bit discombobulated at the moment so sorry I can't make one of my usual great posts. Sad face here because I'm on page 5 instead of page 7 like usual which means less people are participating in these discussions but like they say it is always darkest before the dawn so I hope after reach ships we will see an increase in the amount of people posting. Thank you for all of the awesome info much of which I am still trying to digest. Thanks and take care. Much love from the Don

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

LUCK?
What the -Blam!- does that mean?
I want to see my bullets curve to lock on to opponents and plasma grenades to never miss their target on LEPRECHAUN setting!
Oh and also the vision and hearing was also a good idea, I can see lots of "Helen Keller" game modes (no offense).
Difference between gravity and jump height? The world will never know.

Nil desperandum

Sweetness!! Firefight hotness =D

One teensy question.
Say a crazy hermit like me wants to play Firefight solo...

Will I be able to save a match in progress and have the option to continue like in campaign?

So...much...knowledge... Cool update! I am eager to hear more about the space mission now though...

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.

Great stuff, Mr. Urk.

Thanks for the drop pod full of info and the finger blistering amount of text. Firefight looks like it's gonna be incredible!

When are we going to hear about the map editor... I mean Forge? :-)

No seriously. What the hell is a Flak Cannon?


I think it's Jorge's weapon.


Jorge wields a Machine Gun Turret with the armor plate ripped off...

Hidden characters and armor abilities... I'm interested.

I hope the hidden characters are some wacky ones like the ones you could unlock in GoldenEye...


Hidden character possibility:
Buck
He was mentioned to be at reach during the fall.

Spartan Blue/Red Team
Its known John's team had next to nothing to do with reach's ground battles but Johnson was in ODST Firefight and he was supposed to be on Delta Halo.


Ok, new topic


You can bet someones going to create a firetype which the player is invincible (or close to it, for armor ability purposes) with instant kill. personally, I'm going to make one which is like this for the 1st 4 waves of a round with the enemies spawning without dropships but the boss wave will have dropships dropping off (Big Breath) ELITE SPEC OPS/ELITE GENERALS/ELITE STRIKE TEAMS/BRUTE CHIEFTAINS/HUNTER STRIKE TEAMS/HUNTER KILL TEAMS when they are super strong and the player has unlimited ammo but is otherwise normal.

Bungie is really going all out with this game. I can't imagine how it must feel to say this is there last Halo game. The thought alone makes me sad. I can really see how they are pouring their hearts and souls into Reach though. Lucky for us this final chapter may prove to be the last game any we ever need to purchase! (aside from Bungie's next series of course) Super excited to see the long list of options available all ready, but having (Redacted) appear on that list so many times is a true joy. I also cannot WAIT to hear what badass things I'll (Nobel 6) will be saying through out my campaign experience. Thank you for this amazing update. Keep on doing what you do best Bungie :) !!



THIS IS WHY BUNGIE HAS BEEN MY HOMEPAGE SINCE 2001!

Great update. Makes me wish I was at E3 :(

I read thru five pages of comments. Do I really need to be the first to say it? (whoops I mean second...)
.......................................................
Okay, I'll say it since my inner creative beast is crying. WHAR'S MAH FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORGE!!!

P.S. SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE was spelled wrong. There are 7 A's, not 16.

Tank Beats Everything!

Great job with E3 guys. Was awesome to meet Lars, Tung, and the others.

Though I must say, Tung needs to learn not to call so many orbital bombardments on his own team. :P

Unfair to who? The Bots, their bots, and playing as an Elite will make People Happy

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

Bottomless clip = Epic
No Buggers = You're right. You guys are NOT real men.

Still hoping to get a "toggle" option for Jetpack and Armor Lock so they can operate like Sprint and Camo did in the Beta.

Bumper Jumpers NEED this!

Call me Kozar - My gamertag would have just been Kozar, but it was taken (so odd, huh?), so I made it North Kozar, instead (since I live up north in Alaska).

Really? Leave it to you to use such a joke.
Even so, I lol'd heavily. =P

... Now that I've read it: WOW! I love all of that customization!!! So, we can assume that most of that stuff will be available for custom games, too, right? Now I am just too excited for Reach, and each week it's becoming more and more unbearable...

Hi.

No Forge 2.0? *Marks calender for Bungie Day*

Anyways, very nice update. Very long also. There really is a ton of customization. A bunch more than I'd expect in many areas, but a little less than I'd expected to be in others. Overall the customization is simply spectacular.

One more thing: Zombie equaling color = sadface.

Firefight was easily my favorite thing about ODST (other than the saxy soundtrack), so seeing this many options gives me a nerdgasm.

The lack of buggers is a little sad though. Like some have mentioned, at least give a toggle option. However, if this is a choice for the good of the game, by all means take those little -blam!-ers out.
