I want play by play. I'm at work and can't watch.

So cool. They even got some of the old guys to talk about the history. This is amazing.

Anyone feel like playing Reach in 20 minutes?

I love the honest on Halo 2. Again this is why I love Bungie. They'll be honest when they screw up. So many other companies will not.

Just finished it.
Great vidoc.
CANNOT wait to see their next game.
Something Bungie has shown before, and it made several appearances in this vidoc. Emile firing the shotgun in the dark alley and pulling the knife from the Jackel. It's clearly a finished cinematic, I wonder where in campaign it was from and why it was cut...

Wow. The last 2 minutes have me giddy.
I'm going to be pretty busy updating my Destiny page tonight.
Edit: I'm becoming more and more convinced that Destiny is the name of the planet.

I haven't read anything from the forum. Going dark until I'm finished with the ViDoc!

No... Halo 3 was the end of Halo 2 and then normal Halo 3.WJD said:
Those mountains and lighting effects at the end of the video were from a really interesting tech demo Bungie did a while ago. Guess it pertained to Destiny. Huge open areas that were all lit correctly and in real-time. Could give way to hand crafted and procedural worlds that would be needed in a multi-world system.
And this is one of their new in-house tools

Great stuff... really solidifies for me why I think they are the best developer out there... bar none.
There is all this passion shown on all sides for what is broken, what's not... where missed steps were placed, but there can be no arguing that they pack more into their game than anyone else out there and really get "it" when it comes to their community.

Just finished. I teared up twice. Had to take my glasses off and dab a bit. :'-)
Some more hinting about Destiny at the end, too: "There's a scale to what Bungie wants to do which people have not seen before." And "... a universe that, at some point, is gonna be more the fans' than our's. It's going to take a life of its own."
And then they show some scenes that aren't from Halo... and so they kind of have to be from Destiny. First glimpses here, folks!

That was great. If 343 ever gets around to doing one of those for Halo 4 I want them to do one like that in terms of length and quality of production.
When the Marathon music hit at the beginning I got small goosebumps. Marathon doesn't really hold up well anymore in graphics and gameplay but the menu music is good stuff.
Those Halo 2 multiplayer clips... DAMN
I don't really think about it much but SHIT, Reach's graphics are beautiful. Just watching those cinematics made it look like night and day from Halo 3. The artists on that game really did their part well.

Great ViDoc.. Had me hooked the entire time.
But, I can't help to notice that there was no Frankie in it. I'm not trying to be some kiss ass or anything like that, but I feel that he's been a big part of building the Bungie community to the point it is today, not to mention his current work on the Halo franchise, so I thought this omission was the only lacking part of it all.

It was awesome seeing early Halo footage that I've never seen before.
It was good to see Alex Seropian again, and old man Jones.
Jerry and Mike know the score on ODST.
Luke Timmins is still a spaz.
Nico must've been happy that some Troc music made it in there. <3
Also was it on purpose that when Chris Butcher was saying "As we keep getting better at doing things, we also bite off more and more and more, meaning we're always on the verge of tackling something too big" they were showing the broken bridge in the first level of Reach that still has large parts of it untextured?
I was kind of hoping that they would go through the same doom and gloom talk in regards to Reach that they did with 2.
Oh well, even though I'm overly critical on Reach I still love Bungie and am really happy that they took the time to make that look back on everything. I hope that their next thing takes off just as big as Halo did, if not bigger. <3

They're right. >:| Well, I consider CE a tie, but they're by and far above the rest of the Halo campaigns.Kibbles said:
ViDoC is awesome, it almost brought a tear to my eye.
So many memories... so much fun, excitement and joy over the years. I may not enjoy Reach's MP (fuck Armor Lock, the floaty 'Hog, Bloom, blah, blah etc.) but I'm still playing xbox daily with people I met in Halo 2.
2, 3 and ODST were the pinnacle for me, I've probably spent a quarter of my life on those and enjoyed almost every second.
Love the typical Bungie cocktease at the end. Somehow, I'm incredibly excited for something I know fuck-all about!
I hope I live long enough to see it, whatever it is and should it turn out to be a colossal failure we all know Halo is safe in Frankie's hands.
