Anybody else who is really excited to see the flood in Reach graphics? :D
They scared the -blam!- out of me when I first saw them. Wonder if I will get the same reaction?

Don't judge me as a player by the statistics I have for Halo 3 on this Xbox Live account. My older account was unfortunately hacked and I had to start all over again. My older Bungie account was supamario493 with the gamertag ShottySnipa417, which had been stolen from me. I did, however manage to get Recon again. =D

I might be even more terrified to see those infection forms initially attack Keyes and Johnson! O_O

Oh God, let's not forget the Carrier forms. *hides in closet*

By the PROPHETS! Can you imagine "The Library"? Those things were EVERYWHERE! D:

Dont worry. The M6D pistol and the Jesus Shotgun are still as uber as they used to be. The flood will all die as long as you shoot them enough.

Haha, I just had a thought: Flood buddies with the new graphics xD

i thought only MP was with reach and the campaign had its OWN graphics... can someone enlighten me please.

  • 06.10.2011 11:53 PM PDT

From what I have heard, the campaign is essentially just the original Halo CE with the Reach graphics engine used for the new look. The gameplay hasn't changed at all for the campaign, it just has a new look. There is apparently a button you can press so that at any time you can switch between the original graphics and the new Reach graphics.

The multiplayer on the other hand is going to be like the Reach multiplayer. I have heard here and there that they are going to modify the gameplay for the multiplayer a bit though so it will be more like CE. I sure hope that is the case. But they are going to have 7 maps in the game (some will be from previous games I think) that can also be loaded onto the actual Halo: Reach game to play.

Hope I helped :)
Look forward to Halofest because they are going to reveal a lot on it.

I don't think that is true. I have read almost everywhere that the multiplayer is using the Reach engine and is played on Reach.

It is definitely using the Halo: Reach multiplayer, but the maps are remakes of Halo: CE maps, which is a shame because the weapons are Halo: Reach which means bloom, slow movement, anti-vehicle sniper, weak vehicle health, and long shield recharge. Oh and Cr for playing spartan dress up.

um they're in the trailer if you watch carefully on the one flood level inside the covy ship


at 43 seconds into the trailer

I only saw them at 52 seconds in.

He just watched a different video with something added or removed. No biggie.

  • 06.11.2011 4:03 PM PDT

I heard that they were going to tweak it a bit to try and make it fit the gameplay of CE. Maybe they are going to make a gametype or playlist specifically for it?

  • 06.12.2011 9:16 PM PDT

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

The Campaign uses the original Halo 1 engine, with another engine on top of that, only the multiplayer is reach.

  • 06.12.2011 9:21 PM PDT

Well yeah, but the question is more so if they are tweaking it a bit or something. Guess we will all just need to wait until Halofest. Wish I could go :(

YES! Flood buddies was the -blam!-. Scared the -blam!- out of me the first time when I saw a marine combat form charging at me and I shot at him only to realize he had no arms. XD
