OMG, that is allot of options. If the same basic ones(and maybe a bit more) are in customs i'll be finger lickin' satisfied.

Bungie, you guy's pulled through again.

What the hell is a Flak Cannon?

That was the original name for the Fuel Rod gun. The guts of our game is rife with references to original names, because when you finally come up with a final name, it would be quite a bit of work to go back through the scripts, code, and tags and retrofit all the references to match it.

Flak Cannon = Fuel Rod gun
Spike Rifle = Spiker
Survival = Firefight
Hopper = Playlist
etc.

So perhaps Heretics ARE Insurrectionists.

Flak Cannon...!!!! now you got me all excited until I found out what it really was :(

But hey thanks for all the details and also thanks for putting in Firefight with matchmaking and including space battles. Now I can get my Star Fox fix on 360 WOOOOOO. Can't wait to do my first 360 barrel roll on 9/14/10.

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.

YES! BOOBS!

I am a very pestamistic person. I see the glass half empty, even when it's full. Dont expect much from me.

so even if i'm a guy i can make my spartan a girl and sound like a girl in multiplayer mode? wicked cool! Becuase i saw that it said "change voice to female in multiplayer mode."

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

Awesome update as always, thanks!

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

Now I only have one question left, the Firefight in ODST was awesome, but it lacked the matchmaking option. Will it be in Reach?

  • 06.19.2010 12:29 AM PDT

It's all looking great but is there going to be costum games and forge?

Of course, though it will likely be about a month till we see those.

No drones/buggers? I honestly liked fighting them a lot, was such a nice change of pace. If they let us turn them off for firefight that's fine, but not including them at all kinda sucks. If most people dislike them, then don't make them, by default, in firefight, but taking them out all together is a shame.


They said drones are removed from firefight, but maybe not from the Campaign.

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.
CANADIAN IDIOT Just for you Shishka :)


With low gravity you descend much slower and it is harder to control you spartan at high speeds. Jump height is just how high you can jump, nothing more.

Ok, Firefight is officially ruined. *Cancels Legendary Reach Pre-ordered edition (Not really)* However, I still think if you make yourself invulnerable to everything you could easily get all those easy achievements.


You can only do that in custom games, the achievements are probably for matchmaking only. They better throw in a good system so that I'm hooked up with the good people.

I'm in it 4 teh lulz.

Urk, you came through for us. Ice those fingers so you can type nect week. And for this display of honour, you are awarded the congressional medal of internet WIN.
