Here's my thoughts on the mystery UNSC face next to Buck. I'm gonna go with either CPO Mendez, Colonel Ackerson, or the glorious return of Captain Jacob Keyes. The bigger question is, what's the space in between the mystery soldier and Kat? Looks straight outta Tron.


I don't think it can be Mendez. He was on Onyx helping train the Spartan-III's with Kurt at the time. It looks vaguely like Keyes, but I'm not sure. Also, was Ackerson even on Reach?

I'm pulling for Keyes because that would be awesome. The other two were just possibilities. Mendez would probably have a cigar. Ackerson was on Reach when the Chief got debriefed about cote d'azur. I'm thinking he just stuck around for a while. Probably left when the fighting started getting hot because he's a coward.

I thought it was Sgt.Stacker it is a Halo 3 model after all.

Scratch that it's not a Halo 3 model. No Idea then

Saved film, or it didn't happen!

Hopefully The AI in Reach don't drive into walls and get you killed like in the past halo games.

  • 07.17.2010 4:44 AM PDT

"Hey! I heard you fellas taste.... just like chicken!!"

that army guy next to Buck it must be Kurt from the Halo Books hes the Spartan II who trained all the Spartan III's

Thats a good theory. But it is most propably Seregant Pete Stacker from past halo games, the second coolest officer to Johnson.

You cannot be brave if you do not fear.

First. Now reading.

I'm surprised (and very very glad) to see those Firefight voice options. Hopefully more become available as the game progresses for even more options. Wish List:

Sergeant John Forge
Dare
Rest of the ODSTs from Halo 3: ODST
Miranda Keys
Lord Hood
'Thel Vadam (The Arbiter)
James Cutter
Serina
Carol "Foehammer" Rawley
Jacob Keyes

and . . . . Guilt Spark ;-)

Oh man, this was a great update. The big question I have about the Deja Vu video though is that if all the MP maps are in campaign, and that looks to be a Halo ring in the background of the new Gulch, are we gonna end up on a ring, or will this game be completely on Reach as we've been lead to believe and this stage just get a skybox change? Or did I just see something that wasn't there?
Really, REALLY getting impatient for this game, it's looking SOOOO amazing.

... and hope that Noble 6 Avatar helmet is available through other means besides what's listed in the update.

Pretty sure there is a ring in the sky in the original blood gulch/ coagulation.


Yes, there was, but if this MP map is in the campaign (as Bungie has said all the MP maps will be) then the ring seems curious.

I was just told that it lets u play as MC, Johnson, Buck, etc

...And when i am standing there, watching as the slingshot is cranked back into the shadows, a smile will bestow upon my face as I softly whisper one word..."blam...."


Check out my Youtube Channel!

We are Orbital Drop Kamikazi Troopers, dropping feet first into hell with a grenade in each hand and a charge of C4 strapped to our back, ready to blow the devil to heaven with no thought of comeing back, except for cookies.

Does anyone know what it meens when it says (A spitting image of yourself, sporting the exact same armor, colors and weapon, will emerge and (run directly to that point and persist for about 10 seconds) or until killed.) does persist meen that it will walk around or will itjust stand there

You've taken your first step into a larger world

Does anyone know what it meens when it says (A spitting image of yourself, sporting the exact same armor, colors and weapon, will emerge and (run directly to that point and persist for about 10 seconds) or until killed.) does persist meen that it will walk around or will it just stand there

It'll go where you point. So it'll be line of sight I'd imagine.

  • 07.17.2010 8:27 AM PDT

well i understand that, but when it does get to its destination does it keep walking or will it just stand there.

What the hell is with those last 4 pictures? Are they just fillers or do they have a meaning?
