It's the West Coast baby! Noon to 10 is the new 8-5!
Can join in the pre-game lobby of games, can join during the game, people won't join right at the end of the game ala COD.
By this time he might be already downloading it and eating popcorn with a huge grin on his face.
Are there people here that actually play Reach regularly? Halo3 would be excusable but Reach? I don't understand why...
Go back to Lady Gaga and it will all be okay.

I play from Australia and without these BR battles are a joke, as are melees. At least in Reach my DMR does what it's supposed to.

I play Reach regularly, at least once a week with my friends.
I'm kiwi and I still stand by what I say. But yeah.

Wow mate, I'm seriously surprised but I'm guessing you play with regular friends to "get host as often as possible".

Wow when reading through the Bulletin, I thought this image was concept art.
It is only now that I see the larger version that I realize it is in game.
SANGHEILI// Most intel here originates from ground contacts, but sensors have assisted with validation. The primary issue with the Sangheili is that of discordant cultural symmetry. It is difficult to assess military growth across several dozen active colonial vectors all with disparate political structures. Nevertheless, any and all visible military activity appears to be internecine in nature.

This is what the hidden bulletin message reads:
PLNB PRIORITY TRANSMISSION [CLASSIFIED]
ENCRYPTION CODE: [CLASSIFIED]
PUBLIC KEY: N/A
FROM: CODENAME SURGEON
TO: CODENAME COALMINER
CLASSIFICATION: ELEVENTH HOUR [2/5]
SUBJECT: OVER THE FENCE
/FILE EXTRACTION-RECONSTITUTION COMPLETE/
/START FILE/
SPECIES CANDIDATE//LINE RECORD 94:73:02:75
(What seems to be war reports follow... not sure if it should be spoiler tagged or not
UNGGOY// Sensors at Balaho indicate stability, no off-planet transport recorded since Solipsis. Runners are claiming that Buwan has been abandoned as well, but we’re keeping our eyes on it anyway. Moderate Unggoy populations have been observed in Sangheilian systems at various intervals.
KIG-YAR// Eayn’s native population continues to grow and expand within reasonable governing parameters; its economic and social lines have stabilized in the wake of the war. Muloqt, Kaelarot, and Valyanop, the primary interplanetary colonial sites, all remain static, with little notable movement. There are rumors of mercenaries operating alongside a handful of more conservative Sangheili states, although that has yet to be substantiated.
SANGHEILI// Most intel here originates from ground contacts, but sensors have assisted with validation. The primary issue with the Sangheili is that of discordant cultural symmetry. It is difficult to assess military growth across several dozen active colonial vectors all with disparate political structures. Nevertheless, any and all visible military activity appears to be internecine in nature.
NOTE: A cluster of Sangheili frontier worlds saw a sudden and anomalous convergence of unregistered ships, largely cruisers of varying classes according to a handful of remote relays stationed nearby. By the time sensors were deployed, the ships were gone. The relays can’t assess numbers or strength, but the readings we have indicate that this wasn’t an expeditionary voyage or something tied to a single state. It appears to have been much larger.

In my opinion it was a wasted bulletin. Sure the hidden text is cool but overall the community has a number of questions that are still going unanswered but we get repeat details in bulletins?
What of LE controversy, what of assault, what of rank etc?
Yeah I was kind of expecting more because it was posted at 10:30.
I know what I'm carving this year.

The Skulls leave a ton to be desired. Mantis evolution sounds crazy interesting. Meltdown looks great.

I am kinda disappointed that 343i did not add any new skulls.

That scrolling text was super annoying. My eyes hurt now.
It would appear that they didn't learn from the initial weapon selection on highland.
Not sure if relevant or just a glitch, but that image saved onto my computer by accident and it shows this in picture viewer.

Hmm.. take out garbage... Keep it clean? Virgil? I have no clue.

They can drop on the map but they won't be on it the same time.

It's the Didact O_O
It still annoys me that we don't have to find them.

At least CEA had some new ones. Blah, not only are they all unlocked from the start but they really are straight from Halo 3.. Such a weird choice.. I would have loved for some hard to get skulls like Bandanna or Grunt Funeral again..
