Reach can't be the "definitive" Halo game without the BR.

No sure if this has been taked about or not.... but I thought, what could bungle do to piss off the peps that want the BR, and the people that wanted Recon(everyone at one point or another):lol Make a special skin for the DMR, and make it of the BR, but it shoots, the same, it could have a unique sound though! Reach's (Recon) the BR:lol :lol :lol :lol

I really enjoy how Bungie is slowly releasing information about Reach at a fun pace. Honestly after Halo 3, I learned that half of the enjoyment I get from any Bungie game is the reveal process and the ARG that may follow. Urk and the community/PR team, you're doing a good job, thanks.

Chopper DLC confirmed. Comes free with Halo: Reach: Limited Eazy Edition.

End of IGN video: ...going back to where we all began, and that's where we'll sorta end it...

Oh god, if they do the Pillar of Autumn and the opening of Halo in HD, Game of the fucking generation.

I hope Microsoft doesn't get greedy like Halo 3 and split up the player batch more than they need to. How it was in Halo 2 was perfect: $$$ day one until 'X' date, and free from then on.

I'm actually really excited. It's like Bungie actually sat down and finally decided to make a rightful successor to Halo 1. I just wonder if Bungie will nail the epic scale of the war for Reach. We really need to see a fleet of 150 USNC with the entire orbital defense grid taking on a massive fleet of 500 covenant ships.

DMR with BR skin isn't a BR. :(

All I want is to use the Halo 2 BR in HD.

To be fair, that thread is/was a shithole thanks to people from both sides.

I actually do think a motorcycle would be cool.
And a grunt unicycle is needed to balance the sandbox. Along with a Jackal scooter.

I've been saying this about Halo games less and less, but HOLY SHIT the graphics are AMAZING.

They need to work on some of the animations, like the sprinting one though.

Do we know yet if Reach will have the carbine or is the needle rifle most likely the replacement for it? When I saw the skirmishers fire that thing in the vidoc I got the impression that it was the equivalent of a carbine just as it makes sense that the DMR is the replacement for the BR.

If you asked me before today I would have said the carbine is most likely out but this shot gives me hope it'll still be there to pad out the mid-range palette:

You don't think Early Beta access seems more likely?

I'm pretty sure they confirmed there would have early access to the beta. Said so a while back.

This "WOW" thing seems to be overused. Hopefully it isn't too overpowered.

Graphically, the game is a far cry from even the most recent Halo titles. Polygon counts and texture resolutions have gone up by an order of magnitude, and it shows in the up-close shots of characters and weapons. During the demo, they zoomed in on a battle rifle to show the tiny writing on the weapon’s sighting device. The graphical upgrade is so profound, that it almost looks like it belongs on a future generation of consoles. Particles and lighting have also been significantly upgraded, with grenade explosions looking far more complex and projectiles kicking up dust and chunks of debris from any surface they hit. Halo: Reach is one of the best-looking games we’ve seen on the Xbox 360 yet.

Ign flame-baiting as usual? :lol

Seriously, that's some heavy hyperboles being thrown.

Not going to get too focused on the alleged destructible environments, which probably will just be certain stuff, but I wonder if this is from user destruction or not. Clarification would be nice.

DMR looks so god damn good.

Fixed. So much sausage in there. Delta force type sausage.

In all seriousness though, this was, by far, the best vidoc Bungie's EVER delivered. It was so friggin dense with content, great reveals and awesome hints. Phenomenal job!

So question: I haven't purchased ODST because I've been low on luxury money (I had to buy Mass Effect 2 though). I am aiming to buy ODST used. Does anyone know if used will work as well with the beta? I've wanted to get into ODST but Id rather buy it used :lol

Is it just me or does it look like they included motion blur in the game now too? Looked like it in the shotgun scene.

On a side note, Halo Legends was fucking kick ass. There were one or two duds, but the entire thing was beautifully done and you can tell they took their time carefully crafting each short even if a few had a couple timeline confusers. Overall, I was very impressed.

The one created by the DBZ studio was by far the best.

There are so many hidden little jokes in the short, it's hilarious including an (I know this meme is banned but it's in the short, for real!), "I'MAH CHARGIN MAH LASER" reference.

Gohan and Videl lookalikes show up to help Spartan 1337 fuck up Plutar.

The beta will still work with used copies, but you'll be only be able to use the Plasma Pistol. Also you can't jump.

Didn't know if there was some code that came with the box at purchase. Awesome. I'll just be able to burn your shields and run around like my head was cut off. :lol :lol:D

There is a place you can go to in the menu that says intel or extras(can't remember been a while since I played ODST) and you can download it from there.

I was going to buy Reach just because it's a new Halo. I likely would've just played through the campaign on Legendary once and be pretty much done with it.

But the changes to the equipment mechanic in addition to the level of character customization and massive size of the battles possible have me thinking I just might get into the multiplayer really, really hard. Which I haven't done since Halo 2.

But yeah, color me stoked. Just the thought of Firefight with these additions and changes to the engine are burying my nerdgasm meter. :lol
