So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

Holy -blam!-! Awesome to see the overlap of Fall of Reach's story there.

I'm sure Master chief will be in Reach, if dr Halsey is here... I love Emile and his cut!!!!!! xD "Who's next?!!!"

When I heard the narration at the beginning I thought "Cool, Cortana's narrating it....wait a minute...the voice is a bit off though...could it be? COULD IT BE?"

And sure enough, IT WAS. lol

Wow, that was awesome. I love how you guys are portraying Noble 6: You're keeping him a mystery yet at the same time displaying his epicness in quick one liners such as "hyper lethal: there's only one other spartan with that rating", and "so much black ink". Love it. I haven't even played the campaign yet and I feel like I know these characters, very well fleshed out thus far I'd say.

Great vidoc to come back from classes to :)

Thanks Bungie <3

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

BUNGIE FAIL! How the hell Halsey knew about the SPARTAN III program before fall of reach? Have you guys ever read "Ghost of Onyx". HELLO GENTLEMAN MAYBE SOME CONSISTENCY!?
True. I see two options, assuming them breaking canon completely is not possible.
A. This was a simple narration and won't be in the game (but I think she should be in the game someone personally).
B. This could happen after she finds out. I mean, she found out from Ackerson's computer, right? Perhaps this is in between that and the Spartan II's finding her.


I was wondering about that, too. I could see B., but it would be a tight fit. I don't remember ever coming across a "eureka!" moment in First Strike or Ghosts of Onyx concerning the realization of S-III's, so it's possible she might have talked to some of 'em on Reach.

And keep in mind that just because she knows Noble team are Spartans, it doesn't mean she has to know at Reach every detail about the program.

"Be Prepared and Semper Fi do or die"

Dr. Halsey!

  • 08.17.2010 8:45 AM PDT

in the last weekly update when urk said (next stop Gamescom and bring a change of pants) was he talking this vidoc or is there gonna be more footage during Gamescom

  • 08.17.2010 8:48 AM PDT

"Be Prepared and Semper Fi do or die"

Its possible that she was surpised by the fact they were being trained on onyx

Oh my God, that was such an ingenious addition but yet a shocking, unexpected, and monumental consideration. We now actually see Dr. Halsey which had been one of my greatest curiosities. (forget her portrayal in Halo Legends. Plus, this was almost exactly how I had envisioned her)

The revealing of Dr. Halsey to me is perhaps the biggest revelation of Halo canon I've seen since Halo 3. (Yes, it just might beat ODST) Funny, I said to myself "Hmm... this doesn't really sound much like what Cortana would be saying, but it's obviously Jen Taylor so it must be her." Best Halo Reach ViDoc yet.

Wow. Emile's got one badass voice there!

God do I wish the 14th would come sooner............


.....or that it wasn't in the first month of college starting up :(

  • 08.17.2010 9:03 AM PDT

HALO REACH

So the only other she was refering to was Master Chief correct? and she was probably talking to an A.I. like cortana trying to figure out who the A.I. wanted?

  • 08.17.2010 9:09 AM PDT

In it for the lulz... and gamerscore

I was disappointed. I think it's just because I'm more of a multiplayer guy. The campaign does look like it will be good. Hopefully the characters will be more "fleshed out" than ODST. Since we will be playing as Noble Six (right?), I liked that there wasn't much of a description. It's what you make it. I don't think we'll see much (or any) Master Chief, but I may be wrong.

  • 08.17.2010 9:12 AM PDT

I like that you guys said that they had to complete a final legendary mission.
That means that there is more to the campaign than pointlessly trying to defend reach cuz everbody knows that it will fail..
So i hope that i am taking to words right and that the campaign will actually have a purpose, and not end in total failure, with nothing accomplished.

  • 08.17.2010 9:12 AM PDT

Blah.

Halsey... Halsey... Halsey... Halsey... Halsey... Halsey OH MY GOD Halsey.. :DDDDDDDDDD I seriously started to hyperventilate when i saw Halsey..the "Mother" of Cortana and the Spartan II's...so freaking excited! :DDDDD

Why is this thing not on the marketplace yet. These used to show up almost immediately after they showed on the internet.

Scarabs look badass. Pelicans apparently take damage. Is that 5 freaking Hunters I see in the same area? Halsey's in Halo Reach.

Halo Reach = badassness.

Holy hell, Dr. Halsey! It is great to see her in this game Narrating a little. Overall the videos was great, I loved how she broke down the details of the Spartans 1 by 1.

New Fall of Reach book legitimized this.

Awesomesauce. Including Dr. Halsey in the game just made it much more epic! Never really thought about Jen Taylor playing her as well, but it certainly makes sense. I loved that you guys did this for ODST, and I'm glad it came to fruition for Reach too!

  • 08.17.2010 9:20 AM PDT

You know, I love how the forum holds Halsey in the same regard as the spartans in the books.

  • 08.17.2010 9:25 AM PDT

Of course, shes practically the Mother of the Spartan II's...

  • 08.17.2010 9:29 AM PDT

True, but in the Halo 3 opening narration of Cortana and in "Fall of Reach" it was shown that MC had "luck". Even Cortana said that MC was the only one she saw with luck which is why she chose him.

  • 08.17.2010 9:33 AM PDT

Wow, that was hasley? I can't wait to find out what this spartans 'choice' is.
