I know. I was making a funny. Or trying to.

I noticed and smirked. I wanted to add "But you know that already".

We know nothing specific. Microsoft/343i showed the press the singleplayer and the multiplayer but we don't know if we get any video footage.

Out of interest is anyone doing a nice write up of what information comes out? I can imagine coming home to a stupid amount of posts, no way I will be able to browse through it all while trying to get to the Halo meat.

Any chance the main links can go up in the first post?

Just unlocked 'Don't Touch That!', my final achievement from the newest Defiant achievements yesterday. If Reach is going to receive any more new achievements, 343i please make them possible within a reasonable span of games. I do not want to go through the torment of unlocking 'All Alone' ever again.

 

[Computron]

Halo |OT2| MILK

Halo |OT2| Now on Sega!

Halo |OT2| Now with more really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like!

footage!!

 

[GhaleonEB]

I'm actually glad that 'leak' isn't happening. A coordinated media explosion in a few hours will be much more fun.

I'm going to annoy my wife and have the alarm set half an hour early just so I can stagger up for it. :lol

Nice avy! And "Don't Touch That!" is my last achievement in this game. I would love to get another party together today to do it.

[TCKaos]

Fuck yeah.

Anyone have any action packed game enders? It'd be a nice way to send out Bungie Pro.

 

[The Librarian]

Haha. Holy shit I forgot about this:

Back on track, where did the name “The Pit” come from?

“Joe Tung named it,” Carney notes. “It’s from The Wire. It’s where all the deals went down.”

 

[Shake Appeal]

What time is the embargo up? I'm out all day until 5PM GMT.

Haha. Holy shit I forgot about this:

I didn't know about this. Although Reach has all those Wire character names in it.

 

[Stinkles]

Haha. Holy shit I forgot about this:

One more season and it would have been called Hamsterdam.

totally agree. everything coming at once is much more exciting, especially when leaks usually come from sources who aren't exactly interested in providing context to the stuff they are leaking.

I hope Devo writes a write-up. I don't know if she is allowed to or even wants to do it. But if she does, I think it will be the best "preview" of the game.

Going through a lot of Halo concept art for inspiration on a pet project of mine and came across this:

Damn, just imagine if you had to fight some of these in Reach. They just seem so much more alien and menacing.

They look like the Covenant Power Rangers, but yeah, it would be pretty cool if Noble Team had to fight that team of Elites and traded kills. Would be much better than just random Zealots.

you can quote an image and it will shrink unless someone clicks and holds their mouse on it.

like this:

:lol agreed, with muted, more Reach-ified color palettes and given at least some back story (whether they're some weird strike force or individual ranks or whatever) they'd definitely be interesting enemies.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Valhalla concept art. The base design changed quite a bit from the picture.

If Valhalla returns I hope it ends up closer to its earlier art concepts. I particularly liked the one that depicted it dark and snowy... Just imagining that lake as a glacial lake..mmmm

They look a bit cheesy in that art style, but I do agree they were more interesting than some of the ones we ended up with. They kinda remind me of the more interesting Halo 2 Elites in a way.

Almost seems like they were designed to represent different armour abilities, the one with wings would clearly be Jetpack, one with shield could be armour lock. If armour was a big indicator as to which ability enemies had, AA's wouldnt suck as much. They would still suck, but armour identity would alleviate some problems.

I had a dream about Halo 3 last night, and after I woke up I literally laid there for 15 minutes thinking about how I miss equipment. When everyone was playing the game it was always taken for granted, but I think it took armor abilities to realize how special equipment was and how fun and balanced it could be.

 

[Tashi]

Equipment Ryan? You're dead to me

 

[Shake Appeal]

If we see Halo 4 MP footage and it's set in some new, snowy take on Valhalla called, I don't know, 'Asgard', or 'Ragnarok' or something, and someone's waving a bloomless rifle of some kind around, I swear I just might cry.

 

[CyReN]

I just want some good Halo 4 wallpapers, don't really like the current ones out with the ship and forerunner thing.

 

[Tha Robbertster]
