Looks like they just took the product down from Amazon, I'll await an e-mail saying the order is canceled most likely.

The death animation of that dude on the right is fucking epic.
It pains me to stop using my awesome untextured convoy but if someone made an gif/avatar of the Spartan using armour lock to survive a rocket blast I think I'd have to.

He's bounced into the air by the explosion, then goes into the knee animation.

He doesn't just drop to his knees, he gets thrown forward a bit by the explosion. If it were any of the other games he'd probably just fly forward or crumple to the ground in a heap.

Mad props to Letters for my awesome new avatar.
Seriously. That one pistol bumping and then overlaping the other.. :OJaggedSac said:
Or the way the fall on knees dude's DMR hits the floor... mindblowing gif, so much detail.
Holyshit clicking on the legendary edition at amazon takes you to the regular one... uhoh... it has begun

You're right, it isn't the same as Halo 3. More investigation would be needed, but I don't remember the water being as physics based as in Halo 3.
GhaleonEB said:
Indeed, flying is fun for the player and the enemies. More targets! Dropping down would be a smart choice, but remember to take the fall damage into account. I liked the new landing animations in Reach. People falling from high clearly crouch down for a moment before starting to move again.
So, LTTP on actually watching the ViDoc, but:
HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE
-Assassinations are so good
-Luke Timmons&Lukems=awesome :lol "You're just sitting there juggling fucking plates...aaaaaah"
-DMR and Pistol look really good, Needler Rifle looks like Halo 3 Beta Carbine, but even better (NO SAGER, SAGER NO NERFING)
Totally sounds like I'm kissing ass, but, seriously. HYPE.

Yeah just like the lightning gun in Quake :lol
Oh wait, that wasnt a noob weapon at all. The video makes it look easy because he's aiming at an immobile jetpacker. Try keeping the beam on a sprinting Spartan or a diving Elite, or even just a player smart enough to use the terrain as cover, and you'll probably find it a lot more difficult to chew through people.
This is going to be my sniping weapon of choice

I loved seeing them playing Stockpile on Sword Base and dropping the flag down to the next level, I really think that Stockpile is going to be amazing. So excited.
Meh, I'm not so sure Stockpile is going to be very fun. Generator defense is what I'm looking forward to.Not a Jellyfish said:I loved seeing them playing Stockpile on Sword Base and dropping the flag down to the next level, I really think that Stockpile is going to be amazing. So excited.
Looks to me like those who got in on the amazon deal are in the clear.
So, to reiterate, we ordered it on 4/22/10. We are guaranteed the lowest price between today, and the day it launches. Today's price was 59.99. When it gets put back up, the price will likely be 149.99. Congratulations.

I think Stockpile looks nuts. Its like a mix of KOTH and Capture the flag. What dont you like about the idea?

I think Stockpile will be very fun with a good organized team (HaloGAF) but I can see it being pretty horrible with randoms.
Generator defense looks like a lot of fun but ultimately I think I will just opt to play Invasion instead. :/

In theory you're right but not too long ago they made a simialr mistake with The Old Republic by listing it for £10. They sent out emails saying they wouldn't be able to honour that price about a week later.

I don't it will have much KOTH to it.
I was talking Coco and Dani about it and I said it sounds like a cooler version of classic CTF.
You have that same level of tension of having each others flags and having the opportunity go after them for it. I think its gonna be awesome
also it states:
If they come at us with this, it can be fought because they initially listed the price as 149.99 (its correct price) and then displayed a discount. Had they listed it as 59.99 flat, with no discount, then they could stand on the grounds that it was a pricing error.

It's like KOTH because you have to defend a certain area for a certain amount of time. It's similar in that way.Lead Based Paint said:I don't it will have much KOTH to it.

Understandable, the only problem that I really see with it is that it could just be too hectic
, a bit of a clusterfuck
I know Bungie is labeling it as a "Party" game but it is hard to pull that off when it is very team oriented (unlock Headhunter which can be played solo).

All my dealings with Amazon.com lead me to believe that this isn't going to stick. Sorry guys, their just going to cancel your order.
Conceptually, I'm digging the push-pull mechanic. Instead of straight up attack and defense, there's three dynamics at play: gather flags, defend your stockpile, and spoil the other team's by tossing them out of the stockpile. Personally, I can see myself playing spoiler a lot, playing raider as often as possible.Trasher said:
I don't see the KotH comparison much, as you don't need to secure the location, just the object - which you can do by controlling your end of the map, not huddling in a zone. In that aspect it has more to do with regular CTF, just with delayed scoring and the added possibility that your score can be thwarted.
Headhunter is what sounds like a clusterfuck, but it looks like one in the best sense of the term. :lol
