So much stuff. Forge world looks amazing, and now that I know that the Blood Gulch remake is part of Forge World and not a normal multiplayer map, I don't have to wonder about a trip to a Halo in campaign. Cool.

The new Reach themed console looks awesome too, I just wish I had known about it sooner so I could have had more time to save my pennies... but then again I suppose the whole slim 360 itself was just announced not too long ago, so there probably wasn't a lot of options timewise. Ah well. It will still be mine!

Can we pick the VIP spawn? I remember making a hostage style map in H3 and I got pretty pissed when I couldn't pick where the VIP spawned.

"Dear Bungie.net, we regret being stubborn bastards, we regret coming to this forum, and we most definitely regret that Darth Kooky blew up our raggedy-ass opinion!"

I have a question regarding AI that wasn't covered by Chris Opdahl.

Did you solve the issue AI have with Rocket Launchers and Spartan Lasers from Halo 3?

I couldn't tell you how many times a Marine in The Storm has gone and shot a Ghost with a rocket...when it was so close John could have kissed it (Not that MC would ever do such a thing :P). Or even firing at the wrong moment and hitting a fellow Mongoose. Well, I appreciated the ammo but that isn't the point. I actually got so frustrated once or twice that I went on a personal vendetta to rid the area of Marines and finish the Scarab encounter solo to prevent Friendly Fire Deaths.

Then there's the Splazer. Marines can't seem to use the damn thing. Now that I understand there programming I can see some of their choices being different than mine but a Grunt with a Plasma Pistol? That's just cruel and unusual punishment. You got his confused friend crying over his death while never remembering if it was Flipyap or Yapflip. In a vehicle it's even worse. They'll charge their laser and then wven when they have the perfect shot, they let the charge die without even a reason. Sometimes I really needed that Ghost destroyed and needed an ODST to utilize his infinite ammo. Even a failed effort would be preferable here. At least I know they're trying.

Anyway, I just hope Heavy Weapons won't be a problem for the Reach Military.

Wow, that was an amazingly big update. It took me quite a while to finish hit. Great read, though.

I also copied and pasted the update into MS Word, and the word count is 16,173... Damn that's a lot of words.

Wow epic huge update, that's immensely ridiculous and awesome.
Cool stuff!

  • 07.23.2010 9:13 PM PDT

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

My terror for Forky...

The cruelty of your 'joke' is beyond words.

Thanks Chris! Read the whole interview, nice job - means a lot to us that you answered all those questions!

aawww do i have to go dark?

  • 07.23.2010 9:22 PM PDT

why cant elites get flaming helmets like spartans?

  • 07.23.2010 9:24 PM PDT

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

I can't believe I read all of that, though it was worth every second...

Halo: Reach is just getting better and better. There is SO much stuff! I don't think I will have a life anymore when it comes out, I will be busy for about 2 years.

The one thing you desire most in this world is something you'll never get. My desire is love. So far, my desire follows the phrase to the letter.
