That is awesome. Really awesome. And yeah at the Reach Assault rifle. Kind of strange.

Maybe you should post your source.

edit-

I'm thinking that everything but the chief might've been from a piece of concept from before the E3 backlash of reusing so many Reach assets. But I'm still confused at the marines in the PoA using those ugly bright uniforms form reach instead of the original dark olive ones with the metal plates.[/QUOTE]

Um is there any higher res version. That's freaking awesome as all hell.

From what I can tell looking at the Magazine they are using the Halo CE marines but for some reason there are only 2 army soldiers from Reach on there as well. They are literally the only 2 lol.

Thanks, that explains the weapon and models stuff. And that was not my source, grabbed it from the /v/ cesspit and just rehosted it.

Wiat I missed the one next to the Warthog, make that only 3 lol

All marines are using the Reach rifle but this is concept art so whatever lol

Wait I thought you were looking at some other screens in the magazine. xD

Oh man BF3 beta might be this week.

That should help the wait for the Custom Gametype to hit

Alright someone here better appreciate this, lol.

[Hitmonchan107]

Your dedication is extreme, and admirable.

Good luck my friend, and may you not get arrested for your outlandish actions.

Bad news, everyone.

It turns out that two hours of sleep isn't enough fuel to support such a properly planned course of action.

I might have a backup plan, though.

Hopefully the TU gametype tomorrow will be worth the trouble.

TU hits the 21st and the custom gametype isn't guaranteed same day.

Today isn't the 20th? Whoa.

Also, thanks for the heads up on the gametype. :^(

Wait haven't they confirmed that the gametype will not be released at the same time as the TU? Or did I miss something, is there going to be a bloomless gametype uploaded the day of the TU?

 

[Tashi]

That Anniversary inside cover art is stunning. I would love that as my wallpaper.

 

[Sai-kun]

Oh cool, lets dong in Bad Kid Field 3 Beta Gym Tan Dong.

I totally agree with this except I'll be donging on the PC version.

 

[wwm0nkey]

It should be the reversible cover for Halo CEA.

You haven't failed. You just have a delay.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Is there going to be a bloomless gametype uploaded the day of the TU?

There is no confirmed info about this, it might be just a 85% bloom variant.

Spoiler

0% bloom please!

 

[Tunavi]

Zero Bloom Slayer > BF3 Beta >>>>>>> 85% Bloom

 

[Slightly Live]

The first TU gametype will not be uploaded until a few days after the 21st. That's the latest we know.

People expecting any gametpes on the 21st might be setting themselves up for disappointment. Unless 343 are feeling generous. =)

 

[Tunavi]

They can make us happy or they can piss us off. Its up to them.

I was really looking forward to playing Reach again on Wednesday. It's been too long.

I don't have the time to pick up a game and get frustrated. The TU will be the deciding factor on if I'll be playing Reach or another game until Halo 4.

*sadface* Did you ever play with Drunk hypah? That will be the main factor if you'll be giving Reach another chance.

I thought it was next week...?

EDIT: Aw shit, just caught up on the BF3 thread. To be honest, I don't need that this week, I have a lot of work to do lol.

All is not lost, there is no failure until you are not there in a TU custom.

That clip is hilarious lol.

Heh - looks like this was done just a couple of months ago. (Same technique, though.)

Zero Bloom Slayer > BF3 Beta >>>>>>> 85% Bloom

screw AAs and slow movement, Classic++ > all of that

I hope someone grabs that new no bloom and bleedthrough variant as soon as it drops and tackles all the changes of current Classic and puts it up for download within the hour.


on a semi-related note, Sprint does not get enough hate, people who love it sooooo much actually prefer to go fast only occasionally while having their ability to shoot their gun taken away instead of being able to go fast and shoot in every moment??? SMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Havok]

Oh yeah, once Classic++ with Anniversary hits (dem maps, pistol, no AA's, 120 speed), I don't think I'll leave it.

Sprint+Melee is about a 100000x more annoying than AR+Beatdown ever was.

 

[Hitmonchan107]

*sadface* Did you ever play with Drunk hypah? That will be the main factor if you'll be giving Reach another chance.

I may have once, and it was hilarious. It needs to happen again.

 

[Booshka]

120 feels sloppy, they would need to change the movement physics and inertia to make that speed feel okay. 110 is pretty good, but Sprint is just a way to make up for the slow speed in Default Reach, and also allows for some really sweet jumps and map movement.

I would prefer just the good ol' fashioned smooth quick Halo movement of Halo CE, but because the games keep getting slower, Sprint is just a band-aid trade off to the problem. Hopefully Halo 4 will move more quickly. I don't think the shitty movement in Reach is fixable, so we'll just have to deal with it how MLG dealt with it, which I think is 110 speed and 150 gravity, with no bloom, that should suffice as a pretty good Classic setting.

 

[Devin Olsen]

Heh - looks like this was done just a couple of months ago. (Same technique, though.)

Yeah I knew it was old, I had just personally never done it. I am trying to make the fall from the top of Damnation to the Pit... Proving to be a little difficult!

 

[Slightly Live]

Yeah, that kind of attitude isn't welcome.

Didn't David say that they will upload a gametype after the TU hits?

Yeah, definitely after. A few days after. I remember they said clearly it wasn't going to be on the same day - there was some discussion here about why they would do that.

I want to try out the TU features as much as anyone so I'd be happy to be utterly wrong but I don't think I am.

 

[FyreWulff]

?

I was talking about the code that was posted in the open by Ellis before. People just scrape sites automatically for Live codes, although it's nowhere near as bad as Twitter (which is why most if not all Twitter code giveaways do the "replace the question marks" strategy)

Ones hidden under quotes should be safe

lol sorry, I'm not very patient when it comes to game releases

 

[wwm0nkey]

I can wait for the gametype, its not like 343 even have to give us that gametype, they could make us wait till October 4th if they really wanted too. Be happy they are nice and even giving us a gametype lol

 

[Devolution]

I had dreams about Halo 1 last night, trippy.

Also don't tell TimeDog I'm in here.

*hides*

 

[orznge]

(in FyreWulff voice) 343 posters: you have destroyed the original developer's intent instead of fixing bugs. What do you have to say for yourselves?

 

[FyreWulff]

I'm wondering if the pre-release gametype will be locked to Spartans or not. If we have to wait until matchmaking, it's definitely locked to Spartans, unless we get the Spartans vs Elites setup from Halofest.
