Opdahl, I can't stress enough how much I am looking forward to the REACH campaign. I try to imagine what it will be like but I know my feeble mind cannot conjure the magic you and your team have in store.

THANK YOU for answering so many (really) good questions. And I want to stress this again, I am anticipating this game with more fervor than I can ever remember having for anything...even more than Christmas as a kid(which is a lot yo).

Fantastic. Longest update I've been through (for the most part). Great job Urk and congratulations.

Hope to someday work at this place! :)

Dang. You must have put a LOT of time into this weekly update! Thanks Urk! Can't wait for Reach! XD

Try out my map variation out of Rat's Nest: Hangar 92!

Question about Forge World: Are you able to put a unique picture for your map? You could e.g. take a picture of a game in your map and put it as its picture.

Great update
Thanks, Henri08

only eat one small snack a week to save money on food and just have water toilet and lights to save money thats my plan

Though the Earth is dying we must enrich her body, for the ground we tread is hφly.

I'm a lion in a world where everybody's content with being cats.

I really don't want to build it up too much in my head, but Reach is shaping up to surpass Ocarina of Time ... :O

No. Bungie tried to get it in but didn't have the time. (an employee, ferrex, gave that answer)

Please answer! Will the Reach xbox 360 Bundle be available in Eurpoe, (particulary in France, Italy, Germany...)? Everybody want to know it, evrery french fans (I'm french) are asking me "I want this Bundle, but will it be in France?". Please, answer!

  • 07.25.2010 4:05 AM PDT

Wow. That was a loooooooooooong update.
Can't wait for Reach!!!!!!

  • 07.25.2010 7:29 AM PDT

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Awesome. So worth the 2 hour read :) Big props to Chris for answering all of those questions with actual answers, not just "we cannot say at this point in time." This game is going to be the game of the year, and some more after that. Forge World will keep us playing for hours and coming back for more content; Firefight 2.0 will send us into long, frenetic frays against AI, then against each other; Campaign will be epic, as we've come to expect from Halo; Custom Games will still have endless options to make the gametype exactly how you want it; Multiplayer will of course be the main reason for continuing to play the game, and judging from the Beta and what has been changed according to feedback, the entire package will be the most worthwhile spend of cash for a long time. Hopefully Bungie favourites returns with a vengeance and maybe some really special Forge World creations get rated highly and find their way to the top. I can't wait and I'm sure others feel the same. all the best for the next few weeks, it's going to be amazing! Bungie <3

Through my journey I have believed without doubt of the power inside of me. I used it with calm covalence, determined ability, and peace. Those around me see it as a guide, a beacon they have called the light through their darkness. Now, Descended as I may be, fallen into the Hollow Shell of a world by my own folly I still use this power. Through memory forgotten and allies fallen I remain strong. This power inside me will one day reveal itself, and I will use it as I always have for I am Lintro

PLEASE ANSWER

After seeing a list of those three maps, and the number of players, I must ask this question!! It said on Hemorrhage that you have 8-16 players. Does this mean I can't sit down on a couch with four buddy's and play good old 4 player Blood Gulch? Does this mean 8 players are a requirement to play this map? Please say no, please answer this question Bungie! I want to play this map 2 player also, 1 on 1!

Also, I love the new Forge World. A little bummed you guys didn't go all out with the other maps like Ascension and Lockout. I wish they could of had their own setting, and be more distinct then Lego pieces put together for a Classic Map. But thanks! You guys rock.

Relax, if you look on any map description it shows a recommendation of how many players should be on the map to make the game interesting, and not overcrowded or under populated. Your fine, its just a sugestion.

Will there be a Halo: Reach tour bus thing like there was for Halo 3: ODST? You know, the modified armored truck that went around the country to let die hard fans get a taste of Firefight?

No their not doing that because they already released a beta and its alomst already out so I dont think they have plans to do that anytime soon

They're doing tour dates in a few towns, check the dates. I dont think they are doing the bus thing though.

Add me on Xbox LIVE (not iM Reppin Jesus) I have a new GT KillerKush1993

Every second I spent reading that update was worth it. I absolutely love Forge World... A little too much... I am obsessed with Researching Halo: Reach now. :/

1. No one knows if there will be more all we can do is just wait and see if there is.

2. Yes, if you go to the midnight launch you will still get your recon.

I can Not wait for this game, Forge world FTW!!! Best Halo game yet

  • 07.25.2010 7:54 PM PDT

I have walked the edge of the Abyss. I have governed the unwilling. I have witnessed countless empires break before me. I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear. [I was there with the Angel at the tomb] I have seen your future. And I have learned.There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy. I HAVE WON. Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends. -Cortana

Thank you Chris!!!

Actually yes we do know there is more armor abilities. At least more than there was in the beta. So I suppose it depends what your talking about and how much you know.

  • 07.25.2010 8:32 PM PDT

did you fix how when you accidentally bump an object into another it moves the object you hit if not does it still cause the object you hit to disapear then respawn

  • 07.25.2010 9:07 PM PDT

In future updates that would spoil any of the Campaign, you should give us a fair warning because I'm checking the updates religiously. and am dieing to hear any more on MP, just an Idea :D

  • 07.26.2010 2:10 AM PDT

join our group!!!!!!!! =D

I hope we're going to be able to play on maps on sand, snow, ...
It's going to be boring when you have to play on maps with the same subsoil and the same sphere. My favorit maps on halo 3 are avalanche, sandtrap, guardian and the pit because they are a lot diferent from the other maps and they have a cool sphere... I hope you understand...

  • 07.26.2010 2:33 AM PDT

Ok.. looking good.. I didnt see it asked there... Im just thinking. can you get object 1 to phase into object 2 but have it sold against object 3. Another way of wording is, once a phased object has been "dropped" does it become solid again?
