I'm confident Buck is in the game, I mean ODST spelled it out clearly. Whether or not he's playable is another story entirely though.

The word I forgot to include there was "playable". My bad!

I've lost all hype for this game. After playing Halo 3 for 2 hours for a bit of nostalgia and getting called just about every cuss word in the book along with a few new ones while getting teabagged by a 13 yr old as my teammate droves over me doing 360's in a Warthog, I can't imagine what the game will be like with 3 million more new people. Online gaming is just like the holidays, bringing out the worst in people.

This is why you go into options and choose the "mute everyone" option.

that's cool. Arbiter is my favourite character.

Hope there's more corridor fighting, and I hope there's more fighting on space ships.

And how is that besides muting? I can shut em' up, but can't change the way they act. Had one dude make us lose Nuetral Bomb by holding the bomb in our base for the entire round.

Here's to increasing the hype before I pass out.

Finals + Booze = oddly pleasant, though probably not good in the long run.

After all the hype Nathan Fillion's gotten for being the "big hero" of Reach, I'd be damn surprised if he's not in.

What I'm most interested in is how Reach deals with finally breaking the "ONLY MASTER CHIEF IS STILL ALIVE AND IS THE LAST SPARTAN IN EXISTANCE"-esque storytelling in the main games thus far, and actually introduce us to Spartan team dynamics, etc.

Plus, if Reach goes PAST the actual combat phase, we should see Chief rearriving anyways, at least, according to First Strike.

Blowing up an Alien Space Station would be how awesome?

So awesome.

Go through the campaign on legendary with a friend, that's where the real fun lies.

Gah, so hyped for this reveal. I truly do hope the class based rumors become reality. It'll be the perfect shot in the arm the Halo multiplayer needs, and makes games much more interesting than just having everyone on the same playing field IMO. I find most class based games force more teamwork, and interesting situations than just a race for the best weapons.

I'm fucking dying to see how Reach plays. I really hope the cinematic gives us a good idea or gameplay details are released soon.

Only a matter or hours...

Their silly timer seems to work off your computer clock because it says for me it'll be staying in just under 7 seven hours, i.e. 8pm GMT, which is completely wrong.

Oh, right. Nevermind, then :lol

I'm out of town for the weekend and I forgot to set my DVR to record the VGAs, damn it. Reach's premiere is the only thing I want to see :lol . I'm hoping the 343/Microsoft/Bungie people can get the footage uploaded to... everywhere... with a quickness.

Has Microsoft/Bungie said if the trailer will be available on Marketplace or Bungie.net after it airs on the VGA show?

Yes it will be. Hours after the show. Don't know the specific time though.

Screen goes blurry. White text: "You many not kill ODSTs that show up in the future even if they don't know how to wield the 'Hog turret!"

He'll probably be like Johnson (unkillable) if he is in.

Probably make some wisecrack about "not being able to die, I've gotta be in the sequel" or something too.
