WOAH WTF IS UP WITH THOSE ARMS.... Rumor has it, bungie is adding some sort of new spider armed with no "backpack" enemy called the Pawn who is cousins to the original grunt.

Those are most definitely Falcons.

As for that poor Grunt. Looks like he's suffering the Stretchy bug.

I can't tell if you are joking or not. I'm not saying you are indeed "balls"-less, but acquiescing to be a planned marketing extension certainly doesn't require sack. It is equal employment. Might even have a quota to fill.

Not that it actually means much in this case.

I was joking lol it was a refferance to the retucule glitch and how it turned into wild speculation when it was really nothing


... Oh snap... LMAO i was looking at the falcons wrong, i thought the aircraft was flying towards the gunship for some reason and it totally through off my perspective.

Wait till the Vidoc to make your assessment. Got a feeling there will be a bunch of nice nooks and crannies in there. All I wanted from this event was to get actual gameplay footage so I'm content wit not getting some multiplayer info.

The impressions thus far have been really astounding too:

Joystiq:

"From the stills and footage we saw, it's on track to deliver -- the game looks phenomenal. It promises to sound great, too, as every sound effect has been re-recorded."

"What it showed today definitely got us excited about the much larger, more detailed worlds and overall heightened realism. And, we'll say it again, the game looks amazing in motion. Now we just need to get our hands on it. E3, anyone?"

1UP:

"Even in this unfinished state -- the game has only just hit its alpha milestone -- it looks like a significant step up from Halo 3 and ODST. "

IGN:

"Just think, you only have to wait until May 3 to play Halo: Reach. That's the official date for when the multiplayer beta, included with copies of Halo 3: ODST, will open to the public. It's a good thing we only have to wait that long because after getting my first glimpse of Halo: Reach, I don't think I can wait until the fall to get my fix. "

Oh yes baby this is what I wanna hear:

Halo Reach multiplayer takes 'big risks'
Click to expand...
I wonder if the equipment system in Halo 3 was a big risk. In a sense it was, but at the same time, it was so wonderfully incorporated that it didn't alienate anybody. Hopefully the big risk is that the multiplayer is class based, something for which I am slowly losing hope.

I have lost almost all hope for class based play. With the armor abilities and how theyhave talked about their usage on that podcast I am pretty sure it is not class based.

The Beta is supposed to have an all new gametype and I am wondering if it will be weapon purchased based like CS (refering to the leaked screens displaying amounts of credits in the lower right hand screen). I still think that maybe we will see something like that.

This. I don't think there will be fixed classes per se, but the range of customisation will allow you to fulfill your own "class".

Pretty interesting, armor abilities and possibilities of different armor custimizations (I hope) would be great. Just really wonder how much custimization there is going to be. >.>

Some of the maps from launch in Halo 3 were from the Campaign, or based on a level from Campaign, not all. There were plenty of unique areas (see Highground, Last Resort, The Pit, and Sandtrap).
Click to expand...
Although not ripped from the Campaign, you can clearly see a structure very similar to The Pit off in the distance on one of the Halo 3 Campaign Missions (i think it was Tsavo Highway).

Halo 3, Split-Screen, Widescreen: 92 FOV

there you go, fuel for the next split-screen argument

I mostly blame you and Nokyard for hyping me up. I thought you guys had inside scoops worthy of getting excited about. Ya jerks.

Ok so it's definitely not coming out at 2am PST. When is the next probable time?
Click to expand...
I just woke up to pee and am surprised it's not online. They usually put Halo stuff on Marketplace the same time as XBLA titles, at 2:00 or 3:00 PST.

This fact sheet (Google Docs link), seems to indicate there will be a Reach console, controllers, wireless headset and Zune.

Problem is, the document looks old... the first paragraph mentions Halo 3, but the rest of the document (merchandise etc) is all up to date, so not sure if it's correct.

I won't be able to watch the vidoc until I come back for work. If Bungie doesn't, I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could throw it up onto YouTube. It'll look more like a garbled mess than a game due to the lack of a wifi connection at work but I can always listen to the sultry tones of one Marcus Lehto. :)

I just realised this game existed again.

Looking forward to the media blitz. I have fantastic Halo 3 memories, even if it isn't a game I really think of that often.

And he's probably making sausage. That's what I'd be doing if I had a griddle right about now.

wouldn't it be tofu sausage?

Speaking of breakfast, I've got my eggs, my english muffin, and my coffee, what's this breakfast missing?

Ohh, that's right, some VIDOC!

Urk, could you pour me some please?
