I think if Bungie were goin to give us anything new at X10, they would have told us, or at least hinted at it. I've been wrong before but we ought not expect very much out of it, lest we be disappointed.

We can confirm that we'll be there and I can convey my excitement about the event.

As to what we're showing/saying... here are the guidelines we've been asked to follow: :lol

You can confirm that Bungie will be in attendance at X10 showing off Reach
 EXAMPLE: Gearing up for X10 in San Francisco. Can’t wait to show Reach to US and int’l press and kickoff the biggest year in Xbox history! #X10Xbox

o You can share when the event is and what readers can expect to see coming out of the event
 EXAMPLE: Be on the lookout on 2/11 – we’ll be showing Reach's first ViDoc to the press at X10 and it will be on Marketplace and web the following morning. #X10Xbox

There will be some stuff coming. Stay tuned.

no split screen online would be terrible. we got a 55" tv and 4 player online looks fine on it, everyone can see everything they need to, and usually my cousin and I play two player ranked games (each got a xbl account). he doesn't even have an xbox but signed up for xbl so we can play halo online. would really suck if reach didn't have it

I use my own parental judgment rather than an arbitrary labeling system, thanks.

ViDoc, Confirmed?

So I was rooting around some old Halo 3 previews yesterday. Funniest part was how much luke loved the shield doors, that one didn't quite pan out for them, now did it .

I have an exam that day. I want to get home and have Reach news!!!!

Hype!

 

[Major Williams]

What I really like about Halo trailers historically is how they have 'hidden' things within the trailer that require a second, or even third look. With some of the later ODST ads, there was less and less of this, and with the most recent Reach trailer (VGAs), I felt it was just plain jane in comparison to some of the previous things Bungie has done.

Yes, the trailer required a second glance, but not more than a passing glance to the average Halo fan: "winter contingency" on the radio, new equipment, possible AA, SIIIs, an SII. All things that can be quickly assessed.

With the ODST reveal, it was a crapload of information at once with even more info hidden beyond that. Halo 3 reveal had the Ark Portal going for it - that in itself was a huge mystery that satisfied the appetite of most Halo fans. Halo 2 had the awesome E3 showing that wow-ed us all, no explanation necessary.

I honestly hope that this trailer has some sort of thing hidden in it; not skirmishers, not just gameplay, but something that will make the Halo collective community think... 'hrmmm'.

Sometimes they show something new that is so awesome, but they make it so that we have no idea we're seeing it

 

[squidhands]

drop splitscreen bungie, this is 2010

who are the savages that still like huddling around a tv while barely having enough space on screen to aim

Can't really call playing in front of a 52" plasma "huddling". Guest accounts probably don't belong in ranked MM, but calling for the dissolution of splitscreen play all together is just an ignorant comment to make (not singling you out; it's directed at all the splitscreen hatred). I would have never played Halo at all if it weren't for my wife wanting to introduce me to the CE campaign.

There will be some stuff coming. Stay tuned.

Woohoo!

[Son of Godzilla]

Wait, guests aren't restricted to Social playlists? I always remember Team Slayer being flashy error bullshit for what seemed like years so I just assumed that was the case... That's kinda dumb, at least for default 4v4.

 

[Magni]

I'd be crushed if I couldn't pay Reach with my kids. (And so would they.)

Ghal, my esteem of you just dropped faster than a hitscan DMR bullet. If you were a true Halo Dad (tm), each of your kids would have their own XBL Gold account, 360, and TV screen. Heck, they'd each have their own Internet so that you could all have open NAT.

[Arnie]

ViDoc sounds awesome, I do hope to god it's a multiplayer centric one, however my spider sense tells me that it will cover the basics of Reach's themes, such as the character centric disaster story etc. There will be lots of people who didn't see the magazine information but may catch a glimpse of a ViDoc posted on the dashboard, so unfortunately I expect quite a lot of overlapping information we have already received. We should get some juicy video though.

Unrelated to Halo but does anyone know why Americans put the date the wrong way? Always wondered.


On topic, look forward to getting this new info, a vidoc could mean some gameplay footage!

 

[The Librarian]

Holy guacamole! A ViDoc? Nice! BioShock 2 and a Reach ViDoc make for an awesome birthday week.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I was lied to.

You mean the rest of the world puts it the wrong way.

Anywho, Reach, In game, Beta Date = OMG NOM NOM

 

[metareferential]

Wait, ViDoc confirmed?

Can't wait for the next Bungie Update, since we won't be getting anything sooner, I guess.

Too much hype, I need a vacation.

Fake edit: just read Ghaleon's post.

 

[Kibbles]

Read that again. They'll be showing the Vidoc at the show - which starts tomorrow - and then put it on Marketplace early the next morning, and we should "Be on the lookout on 2/11." Normal 2:00 AM (or is it 3:00 AM? Freakin' time zones.) release.

I thought the show was Thursday?

 

[lybertyboy]

FWIW - X10 is on Thursday, February 11.

EDIT: Kibbles was correct before me.

 

[Nutter]

Yeah what gives.. isnt X10 on Thursday?

 

[GhaleonEB]

Ah. I was lied to in a different thread.

Sorry 'bout that. I haven't paid a lot of attention to X10 until now. I also kind of thought it made sense to have X10 on the 10th. Fail, Microsoft.

 

[ShinAmano]

Well the news of the ViDoc...makes my news fell less important...

Spoiler

I finally got Save This Film...and only need Have Fun Respawning to round out the achievement list.

 

[Thagomizer]

It's coming out on thursday? Damn, I'm not going to be able to see it until Friday afternoon. I have two tests, a lab practical, a quiz, two lab reports, preparatory research for my boss' next grant proposal, and I need to finish my applications for transfer, including two essays. I really shouldn't even be on GAF right now :lol

Does the Bungie Store sell pants? Cuz I need a new pair.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

There are no guests in ranked. I really don't get it. It seems to me Bungie has found the perfect middle ground. They even restrict ranked play on a 48 hr trial!

edit: awesome news on the vidoc. I cannot wait.

 

[Ramirez]

Ram, stop hating on them, you clearly have bad taste have no idea what features mean to the halo crowd and no friends.

Spoiler

did I do that right?

The key here is that I have no friends.

Woohoo! Reach Dev Blog is up! http://www.nobleactual.com/

Awesome (late) birthday present, thanks ManCannon.

I'm stoked, the Halo 3 Vidocs are still great to watch years on, can't wait to see what's in store.

Woohoo! Reach Dev Blog is up! http://www.nobleactual.com/

Concept art of Reach from the Blog:

Check this out from over a week ago:

The team is kicking all sorts of ass this week and we’re rapidly closing in our first big milestone to wrap up our multiplayer alpha. This same code and content branch will eventually evolve into our delta, which is actually the “public beta” you’ll be playing in the Spring.

ITT people have opinions and the same infants that cry about every suggestion can't handle them.

 

[afternoon delight]

Wait, they're thinking of dropping splitscreen?

As in, that's the only reason I still play Halo 3 when I'm not playing L4D2?

What the fuck, that just slashed hype in my apartment building by twenty fold. And we all have XBL Gold Accounts, so it's not just guests coming over all the time to play (though they do.)

Fakedit after reading farther back a few pages:

I'm sorry not everyone has two televisions, two 360s, and two copies of a video game in the same fucking household.

There's actually people that think Halo will be better without splitscreen? :lol

I wish Ubisoft Montreal knew about this.

I think you'll find that it's not your birthday until after we all stop bickering.

Things are getting real, I like it.

That part of concept art looks like something I do not want to pronounce. I am refusing the thought that this thing might be in Reach.

is that the flood taking over reach?

i hope there is no flood

Looks like shit's been glassed, son. Glassed landscape welcome by me.

Seems more like a molten city.

EDIT: beaten. And I agree.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

This is probably old news by now, but I just saw this article at Eurogamer.pt (dated today) referencing the latest OXM UK magazine and a 10-page Halo Reach feature. I'll post the link here and can translate if it's not been done already.

Looks to me like that area has been partially glassed.

 

[derFeef]

Hm, never saw glassed planets or parts of them before in a Halo game I think. Is there a description how glassed surfaces looks like somewhere? I only read Fall of Reach so far...
