What ever happened to the Battle Rife? We were told it would make the final game, but I believe we haven't seen it yet.

um...where did you get your info because what we were told is that it would not make it in to reach and given a swift but polite "sorry". I cant remember what interview it was were it was explained why they chose to leave it out, but I remember seeing it on tv which means it was one of the expo's they were at.

  • 08.29.2010 4:47 PM PDT

um they stated that like 8 months ago, dude, and repeated it many a times...

HALO REACH ROCKS!!

Nice and Juicy Update, at this point the only Reach related news I'm reading is the Weekly Update.

The Internet can be a Spoiler Land indeed.

At least we know that perhaps next week, we'll know more about the Digital Content Included in the Legendary Edition, you know Behind the Scenes material and stuff...

Thanks Urk ;)

Reach will need hovercrafts for FORGE WORLD... Seriously for forge there can BE on water Battles and stuff u noe?? For some people who wont know what hover crafts are.. the are water thingys that have a driver seat in front and another seat in back with turret in front. It wiould be incredible to have them in Reach!! ** Forward Please**!!!

*gasp* Is that a blue visor I see in that screenshot? I'm intrigued.

I'm sure that's probably old news by now, but I've been avoiding Halo-related anything to avoid spoilers. But I had to give in. Just this once.

  • 08.30.2010 10:38 AM PDT

How did the cake was?

Once again, thank you for this update

I don't know where to post it, but I Have some suggests to improve forge mode (maybe with an update, is it possible?


*add these objects/capabilities :

- energy bridges like in halo 1, with a max and a min length, and the emitter/receiver that appears simultaneously

- Automated (or not) doors, with multiple channels, to remote control them

- let user add water, waterfalls, brooks, toggle sources, and adjust sea level

- toggle objects

- wireless (of course^^) switches, with multiple options like only one use, auto/blocked switch for the doors, open/closed for the doors, teleporters and energy bridges, or toggle water/death walls/objects, toggle starting points after the differents hill being captured.

- timer switches, like the door stays closed/opened (switch disabled) during xx seconds after use, the door opens xx minutes after the round being started, etc...

- effects (motors) to rotate objects

- add ropes, rubber bands...

- switches activated by the player/a vehicle being detected

- merge starting points with vehicles (the player starts in)

- death walls which operates only with players (not with vehicles with players in)

- invisible walls which operates only on flying vehicles.

- fully automated turrets which can be toggled

so, make forge mode a bit more like gmod (garry's mod, not god mode ;))

*And, if you can, allow users to create/ modify maps directly on pc. (and, why not, a reach custom edition :P)

I know i am a dreamer...

Let them eat cake!

But, I thought the cake was a lie!

I don't need a signature.

I have a question about region-encoding. Will I be able to go to a retail store in Japan, buy the game, and play the japanese Halo: Reach on my Xbox 360 that is from the U.S.?

After reading the most recent Bungie Update, I had some questions because of the poetic language used to describe the tenuous issue of region-encoding.

The reason I ask is because I have pre-ordered Halo: Reach on Amazon (in the U.S.) to be shipped to me in Japan because I thought the region-encoding won't work with japanese games on a U.S. system. Not only is this very expensive but it means that I have to wait a week or so for it to get here.

I humbly beg the moderators to throw me a bone and let me know the low-down on Halo: Reach. Thank you.

Boy, I don't think you want this kind of credit.

What do you think of Halo: Reach?
I think it is B.O.R.I.N.G... and I agree with Honorable Heroic Member, "N7R" and I quote...

"You cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail."

Unquote.

Great update, Bungie! (That was a huge cake! OMG...)

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

You guys know there's a phone commercial using the Spartan armor? Just thought you should be aware if you're not already.


I saw that, i thought it was another live action trailer.

Q: will we be able to lower our weapons online? plz? if anything just for custom games? it would top off my experience for reach and it would make all of us machinimaters very glad and i would reccomend the halo2 aproach of either holding down on the d pad for a few seconds or holding down the left trigger w/o any grenades. i understand that there have been some complants(that i personnely dont really know anything about)but if you are topping this off as your last halo game then plz answer this humble halo fanboys call and give us the ability of online weapon lowering...i have ordered legendary edition for any halo game i could so ive got it all. i dont ask for much i beleave and i am probly not the only one who thinks this... so plz bungie give us this one last request?

Lowering the guns online would be a nice update.

  • 09.02.2010 3:45 PM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I tried to go dark but I felt the need to stop by anyway. I'm glad I are still unspoileded!

  • 09.03.2010 11:13 AM PDT

I won this argument... in my mind.

Great update but I do have one question. When can we buy Martin O'Donnell's Halo Reach soundtrack epic with cherries?
