Will we see more of these write ups in future? I know the Reach noise will be drowning out most voices in a few days, but I'd like to see much more of this sort of article.

That's the idea. Talked to Carney earlier and he wants to try and tackle some more. No promises.™

Construct was probably the last thing I expected. Was interesting though because Construct is certainly... different from a design standpoint. Hope you guys find the time to do some more of these before all the focus turns to Reach.
I need an explanation for Orbital.

We even talked about it in completely crazy terms such as ‘what if we hovered Lockout over Ascension?’

This would have been a million times better than construct.

Interesting read about Construct. I'm definitely glad it doesn't have any vehicles on it or is any larger than it is right now. Construct is probably the map I play the worst on, Slayer that is. Also, I'm talking MLG here. I really enjoy Construct king of the hill. That's a great game type. In Slayer, I'm never comfortable on that map and because of the tight blocked off rooms up top and walls and corners everywhere. Teamwork and communication is really important on this map.

The updated project page is pretty neat. Can't wait until all the sections are filled with new information. :D

The Construct article was cool, but the fact that Construct looks nothing like the screens posted just make it depressing. :(

Two more days!

Alright. It seems like the hype is beginning and I'm on for the ride. MW 2 sold gratuitous amounts and I don't think MS knew just how much it would help the 360 in November. The sales are surprising as fuck. Clearly Reach will be pushed even harder, especially given that it has MS's direct advertising kick behind it.

They have to have an amazing marketing campaign for Reach. MS has been on point so far for every game, but they have to outdo themselves and really make Reach appear everywhere or people will just think its another Halo spinoff like ODST.

Yeah the Construct article was great. I'll be looking forward to future articles like this.



2 more days to Reach's reveal. Time to MS Paint. :lol

You like me, you really really like me!
So I was looking around to see what was up with Halo Reach and it's impending "reveal" at the VGAs and found this:

http://www.vg247.com/2009/12/07/kei...ap-forward-will-be-2010s-biggest-game-by-far/

“At the VGAs we’re actually going to be able to go down on the planet Reach and see this game for the first time,” said the presenter.

“It’s all going to be in-game stuff. This is not CG, this is not live action, like all the kids on Twitter are speculating. You’re going to get a first glimpse of the world of Reach, which is phenomenal.

Sure.

Just like Halo 2:

and Halo 3:

No disrespect to the immensely talented folks at Bungie but excuse me for holding my breath on this "reveal" on Saturday.

I won't believe shit until I have the game in front of me and playing it.

Yup.

What's really piqued my interest is the hub site on b.net. Looks like even if we don't get gameplay footage, they'll be posing other information about the game, which should give us plenty to chew on.

We're totally gonna get a "Everything you see here is in-engine" message aren't we? Even though we already know it will be.

Oh. nvm

I come into this thread 870 replies late and fuck things up :lol

Can't wait to see it regardless.

Is this also the first Halo game to have an opening cinematic? (if already discussed, lol at me).

There should be. Even though it's been stated before (and also clearly stated they are using a new engine too) there will always be some people in the dark, no matter how much light you provide.

Nope. Every Halo game has had one. Each one. =) ODST's the most impressive, IMHO.

It did a great job of grounding the story, between the opening crawl and the seamlessness of the transition from cinematic to gameplay in the pod during the drop. Bungie really honed their story telling with ODST, which has me looking forward to seeing them apply it to a larger scale again.

Well, technically, "yellow bars" but yours will work too.

Which ones didn't you get? I'm sure I can help you out with them if you still don't know them. Halcylon has been working on this for a while, but I think it turned out pretty well.

My personal favorites are: "Ti", "Dy", and "Rb".

Topic already very discussed in this thread, I think the general consensus was "fuck that noise".

Party tonight, BWU upon wakeup (pic(s)?), tons of work and Forza and ASoIaF to keep me busy tomorrow, and then Reach goodness :D Though I'll probably have to wait until Sunday morning in my timezone..

I would think they flubbed hard and missed the boat by going with Perks of Modern Skirmishes instead of Battlefield Halo, but we will have to wait and see.

If only they could delay the BWU by 24 hours and fire it up after the VGA's tomorrow. Would be nice to have some trailer hotness to go with Urk's sexy wordplay.

Not even the leaked info alludes to any such gameplay mechanics from MW being brought into Reach. Dunno where you are getting the assumption from.

How do you know we won't get some when they post the trailer up on Bnet?
