The Halo Wars Elite is so much better than Bungie's Elite. It's one of the few things they got right when designing the characters in that game. Also, is there a reason why the Spartans in that game were green and looked like variations of Master Chief but the Spartans in Reach are different? Not that it matters but I'm curious...
One explanation could be, that Spartan IIIs, are looked at by the unsc as disposable, and are often used in suicide missions, so due to the fire and forget nature of their deployments, they can do whatever the fuck they want out there basically, so they customize their own armors the way they see fit after they're out there. Wait, they probably don't paint themselves after.... oh well, as Halo Wars was made by another team so they did their own thing. Spartans can be all types of colors I think.Kuroyume said:
Brutes are fucking awesome and I don't care what the haters say. I love the Elites too, but the way Bungie made them Space Samurai was, imo, just a bad idea. Their culture is boring and cliche.
Brutes are also cliche, their fuck awesome. They come from a hot ass planet, they live and fight in tribes that are dominated by huge guy's with ridiculously large hammers, they put Blades on Every God Damned Thing they make (even their hammers), they use plasma based technology to Launch Motherfucking Giant Nails At You and they ride around in huge lawnmowers. They also eat people.
Elites just run around screaming like girls with their fisher price lightsabers. I'm exaggerating, but still...Brutes are great.
Brutes SHOULD NOT have Human proportions! It is soooo stupid. In Halo 2, they looked like huge Grizzly Bears coming to rip you up like a caribou. Halo 3 made them a little more humanized. In Halo Wars (loved the game though), they look like Harry from Harry and the Hendersons. DO NOT WANT.

Exactly. They should have NEVER replaced the Elites, that did not go over well at all. Should have been their own enemy type, like what the skirmishers are now, but with OHK melee attacks and bullet sponge durability. Like a pack of fast Hunters (but not as tough as a Hunter).gibonez said:
NO. HELL NO.The Halo wars Brutes are also pretty amazing much better than the Brutes in Halo3.

Because in Halo Wars they were Spartan II's from NAVSPEC and in Reach they're Spartan III's from the Army and they don't have no fancy Mjolnir.Kuroyume said:

I guess Noble team doesn't have as many resources as the main Spartan II teams and if their armor gets damaged badly they won't have a spic and span replacement sitting at their base of operations.
They shouldn't have MJOLNIR armor in the first place and they probably fixed and customized their armor themselves a lot in order not to draw attention from Ackerson by ordering replacements. They probablly got emotionally attached to their armor and made sure to personalize it.

Interesting -
Received a PM today giving some new leaked screens for the Halo Reach (Private Beta).
I think it might be legit?

Same. I may have to go big for this and get the uber edition (which better be in an Oonsk package, dammit!)Tashi0106 said:

Hah! didn't even notice that. That's pretty bad, and I'd doubt Bungie would have something as simple as a speling eror.Letters said:

Damn... absolutely no gameplay
EDIT: it looks legit to me aswell. All the other videos i knew were fake off the bat. but this looks a bit more legitimate... a single screen of gamplay would cement that theory
I think the way the Halo Wars Spartans look can be seen as "the Wookie Effect". Allow me to explain.
Chewbacca was the first wookie ever seen by the public. For decades, he was the only Wookie ever visualized aside from his family in the Holiday Special (who looked just like him but with diff colors).
When Wookies did start making appearances in visual media, like video games and comic books They All Looked Like Chewbacca with only slight variations. A bounty hunter would have a flat top, or some wookies would have different hue in their fur. But they were generally just Chewie clones.
And then Episode III came out. Say what you will about the prequels, but Lucas gave Wookie appearance a much needed kick in the dick and the balls. They now had their own ornaments, vehicles, different hairstyles (although mainly dreadlocks, the point is they didn't all have the Chewbacca head) and armor that wasn't just a bandolier slung over their shoulder.

At the very least, people, start releasing "leaked" gameplay.

The aliens in Halo looked best when you couldn't really tell what they were. Now that I got to see them in full with no imagination required, I realized they all look really goofy. The same goes for the environments. Non-hd was a blessing in disguise for me and halo.
If I was going to break NDA and risk losing a job which grants me early access to unreleased Halo games, I would leak something a tad more exhilarating than a fucking menu screen. Let alone one which confirms nothing new about the game.
Until I see gameplay consider your leak fake, fakers.

Hah thanks Urk. Too good to be true I guess.urk said:
These fakes are getting better and better - that menu pic is awesome, and I don't think I've seen it yet. It has the Covenant Carrier (or Supercarrier) hovering over a planet in a way I haven't seen yet in any fanart.
HBO forumite Crackshot53 pointed out the Kel-Tec RFB, a new gun just coming on the market now. (Here's a video of it being shot.) Looks a lot like the DMR!

I don't know about you, but I've been testing the NR for Reach like crazy! I killed three people once, it's OP.
Also, the Sniper Rifle has a 1hr delay between shots but I think that's by design so Bungie could maximize our Pizza and Xbox LIVE efforts. Eat a couple slices between shots.

:lol :lol I was just over there reading their reactions to the new screenshots. I had to leave because I was embarrassed for those poor kids. They see something they don't understand and immediately condemn the game. That last comment certainly took the cake.
