The Legendary edition, which will be produced in very limited quantities, is designed for the Halo fan who has to have it all.

What was said about the Halo 3 LegE in comparison? Urk says very limited quantities.... I hope so.

 

[RebornYeti]

Wow, ViDoc had me smiling the entire time watching it. I'm super stoked!

It's just added incentive to finish my Podcast song!

HARD LESSONS WAS LERNED

Also Wu is kidding himself if he thinks he isn't going for the statue. Wait 'til he sees it in real life. Things is so big and heavy they spent like a month just designing how the protective foam comes out and how you lift the statue out of it.

 

[Slightly Live]

The t shirt is cool

That looks sweet. They should sell them, I'd buy one. Or two. Nice and simple design.

And yeah, sell these now Frankie.

Is green, not blue-black like appears in the pic.

 

[BladedExpert]

I doubt my wallet is fat enough for that statue edition (thanks economy) but I REALLY like the sound of the Halsey book

Looks like I'll be taking the middle ground and going for the Limited Edition!

 

[electricpirate]

Is that Blam! shirt new? I haven't seen it before, and I am totally ordering the shit out of that. I need to represent being an OG bungie fan .

 

[Neverender]

hey i can't see any reason this couldn't be answered by a bungie bro... how big (file size) is the beta? i'm australian and need to plan my downloads appropriately.

SHUT UP I CAN CONTROL MY IMPULSES

 

[LiK]

Crap, guess I'll go for the Legendary again. That statue looks pretty nice and I want the extra skins

Can it be used as a blunt instrument? I don't want to bash a burglar's brains in with it if it's gonna shatter into a thousand pieces. Is there a character that works best as a handle?

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Wait, no DVD style extras at all?
Normal edition for me then.

Hasn't been announced yet.

 

[Slightly Live]

Hmm, there's always a chance that the final retail disk may have room for some commentary/making of videos or maybe an ODST style "Extras" menu which can be updated on the fly over Live with exclusive content.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I picked a hell of a day to sleep in. :lol

OP updated with link to youtube vidoc and packaging details.

Loving the ViDoc so far. Turrets! Mongoose! "...I'm Onyx. You just met fucking Roger Clemens." :lol

 

[Neverender]

Hasn't been announced yet.

yeah i know i was hoping a kind bungie employee could answer it here

 

[Hypertrooper]

I pre-ordered(i hope this is the right verb) the legendary edition over game.co.uk

Froman is a legend. I think I have my first mancrush

 

[Littleberu]

Hey, it wasn't answered last time I asked, but is there vehicles hijacking this time? Thanks!

 

[The Librarian]

Read it wrong. Sorry. :/

Hey, it wasn't answered last time I asked, but is there vehicles hijacking this time? Thanks!

Of course!

 

[ManCannon]

SHUT UP I CAN CONTROL MY IMPULSES

Don't worry we got your back.

 

[chess]

I'm guessing there will be codes to unlock the armor and it can be turned on and off? Flaming head just says "hey look at me and put a bullet through my face".

I went the cheapo standard Walmart no preorder route with H3 and plan to repeat. Walk in walk out.

 

[Cuban Legend]

Just saw the ViDoc... I need a cigarette.

PISTOL FLIP AFTER MELEE IS BACK.

GOTY CONFIRMED. :lol :lol

 

[Slightly Live]

It's a part of the regular sandbox now and has been since Halo 2. Safe to assume it's in.

Hope so.
I just recently got to watch the Halo 1 and 2 developer Commentary's from The Legendary H3 box,
That sort of deal for Halo 3 and ODST should have been a shoe in.

 

[Chinner]

i liked the vidoc but i found bungle developers trying too hard to be 'GAMER DUDEZ'.

 

[Dirtbag]

Noticed a spartan wielding a turret. Guess those weapons are back.

 

[RebornYeti]

At 5:58 in the ViDoc, is Luke Timmins trying to create some sort of Fireball or something?

 

[Louis Wu]

Don't worry we got your back.

 

[LiK]

Waiting for slowass Amazon US to post it so I can preorder and be done with it.

 

[Butane123]

That ViDoc was so, so good!


I really need to play this thing right now.

 

[GhaleonEB]

There's one in the art at the top of the OP, so I was hoping that would be the case. The one I spotted on Overlook last night turned out to be legit.

Urk, can we get assets of the turret and Mongoose?

 

[squidhands]

This needs to be used.

 

[anonymousAversa]

"I'm Onyx.. you just met Roger *bleep* Clemens."

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

The vidoc. "You just met fucking Roger Clemens." :lol
<3 Bungie.

I saw that and wanted to say "preformance enhancing drugs for gamers confirmed..." or "confirmed, cheaters only division in the top tier of arena"

 

[neoism]

Much better pictures. Thanks, urk.

Yup. Definitely buying the LegE.

The two special editions will be available only while supplies last, so fans who want to secure their copy and ensure access to the exclusive in-game armor sets are encouraged to preorder quickly."

:lol :lol

 

[The Librarian]

Will we be able to customize our Elite in the beta? Or is it just Spartans?

 

[Dirtbag]

Yeah the mongoose looked silly to me, but its probably that big to fit them big ole elites.
I think its the first time I can say, I preferred the Halo 3 aesthetic

 

[Slightly Live]

Funnily enough, Bungie have been very open to asking folks to find ways to exploit and cheat the Arena system during the Beta. It's an open challenge since they themselves are confident it won't break but are happy enough to put it to test.

 

[Louis Wu]

They look way more like standard 2010-era ATVs now.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

He gives you a free sample to get you hooked, and then you get addicted and keep coming back. Yeah, just the other day my friend got arrested for pushing Reach in a sting operation. Dangerous stuff. You might wanna warn ManCannon. :lol

EDIT: Great vidoc btw. I'm lttp

 

[rollingstart]

ahh I've sworn off limited editions but that $80 one looks really nice

if amazon has that versino of the game with $20 credit, I might switch my order. Special editions that contain books that seem like they're from that universe are so appealing.

 

[Dabanton]

Saw the LE earlier it's tempting,very tempting...:lol

 

[ToyMachine228]

ViDoc was fucking great. I think my favorite part was toward the end where the guy with the Jetpack goes straight up in the air and is just spinning in circles:lol Can't wait to do that. Also looks like the Gravity Hammer has been slightly changed. Hopefully for the better.

God damn this just looks so good...Can't wait for the beta.

yep me too. I used Amazon DOR for FFXIII, and I didn't get it til 4pm that day, there's no way I can wait that long to get REACH!

 

[NJ Shlice]

New mongoose?

I haven't seen the ViDoc yet so this may have been talked about. But, this mongoose looks more "recreational" than H3's. What are the chances there is a different style of Mongoose for race gametypes ?

 

[Backfoggen]

What about this:

Spawn System | Players can select from a list of spawn locations after dying. In addition, in the Invasion game type players are paired with a fire team partner (or "battle bro") and can choose to spawn by them, co-op style, as long as they are away from enemies.

Is it possible to choose the spawn points for every game mode?

 

[Slightly Live]

Just Invasion, if I recall correctly.

 

[Littleberu]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Because of Halo ODST and Tank hijacking, I thought maybe it was scaled down. You know, how they're talking about going back to Halo 1 and things like that. I don't think they've ever showed it in the videos so far.

 

[Hypertrooper]

I noticed, that game.co.uk and co. doesnt send to germany. The package is too heavy to deliver outside UK.

So i pre-ordered over amazon.co.uk:
