This is my prediction for the story of Reach: Start out fighting insurgents, surprise surprise the base you're attack is actually covenant, you end up sneaking onto the ship in the reveal trailer which leaves and takes you to Alpha Halo and you explore some stuff there that we saw in CE and it ends with your team escaping and floating through space.

Bungle said no space stuffs.

 

[Imperial Hot]

I'm trying to remember but I think it was in the podcast that somebody mentioned there were going to be animations for the sides as well? Wouldn't that change it up a bit?

They did say that. That's probably in singleplayer only because it would become a pretty cheap tactic if you could just run up on someone and get an instant kill by tapping the "assassinate" button. It probably initiates by holding B in both modes, but in SP you can do it asking as the AI is not aware if your presence and in MP it becomes an optional stylized from behind assassination.

I'm just hoping that getting into games is much faster than ODST/H3. The loading times are atrocious...and the load before veto thing is just awful.

HipHopGamer is saying Bungie is loving the power PS3?

lul wat. He's also saying their next title is a Action/Adventure for Xbox 360 and PS3. Still listening. Yeah I think that's it, not listening to the rest.

I'm still waiting for the XBLA superintendent platformer.

I'm asking this here because I can't exactly search for the Halo 3 thread.

The game keeps saying "Lost Connection: The game ended because a player left the game" when I try to play single player. I'm the only player here. What is going on?

Make sure it's not set to Xbox Live, and set to Local Only. See if that fixes it.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

So in the Vidoc on one of the post it notes it says Caltrop Grenade, I searched and found this:

http://teamfortress.wikia.com/wiki/Caltrop

That sounds AWEFUL, multiple trip mines that can injure you would potentially ruin the flow of some maps (if the multiplayer isnt totally drastically different that is)

I think it is safe to say by how little they have shown and how anxious Bungie has seemed to get player hands on the MP that it is going to be changed a lot (even if just in that one "super secret" game type).

You know that post it could have been written 2 years ago when they were brainstorming ideas yeah?

They've CONFIRMED they're only going with the two original grenade types. They're not going to randomly throw in these new grenades for MP only.

Don't stress.

You guys notice the Forerunner structure to the left of the big battle at 4:40 in the vidoc? Never read the book, but did Reach have some Forerunner stuff the covenant was after or something?

Yes there was. I'm hoping we get to go there in Reach.

 

[Sean P.]

Yes there was. I'm hoping we get to go there in Reach.

Maybe loss of the flood will add more sentinel types?

 

[GhaleonEB]

Maybe loss of the flood will add more sentinel types?

That would be great. (I miss those big dudes from Halo 2.) And having both Brutes and Elites on hand will help mix up encounters as well.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Maybe loss of the flood will add more sentinel types?

I hope not. I felt the sentinels to be very annoying, imo.

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

Please.

No flood

No sentinels

Just leave it at the covenant, and just mix up Elites with Brutes, Jackals and skirmishers and maybe give us a few Grunt variants and I'm good.

 

[mescalineeyes]

I hope not. I felt the sentinels to be very annoying, imo.

this. flying drones in FPS games are lame, more often than not. yes, even in Half Life 2.

 

[Kibbles]

Read up on that. I'm wondering if that Forerunner Crystal will come to play in Reach.

 

[rollingstart]

I tried that and it didn't work. When I changed levels it works, I just couldn't replay the first level. Not a problem since I wanted to replay The Covenant aka best part of Halo 3.

Also, whenever I watch a video showing the crosshair towards the bottom of the screen it gives me a headache, but it never bothers me while I play.

 

[Kibbles]

CinemaBlend is at it again. :lol

I understand this may be a Bad Press = Good Press thing, but I just want them to get shit on for all these articles they are making (they clearly have something against Halo...). Then I'll stop posting their BS.

Ok, well at least it's ok now.

My Halo 3 save was having MASSIVE issues last year.

I hadn't touched it in over 6 months or so, and when tried to play it, it just glitched on me, and went into 'kill cam' mode from multiplayer, I'd die, and it would just go back to the main screen.

I had to completely delete my save file and start a new one to fix the issue. Luckily somehow all my records/data were still in tact. It still knew I had beaten the game on all difficulties. Which was lucky.

I'm not sure what you're last sentence refers to I'm afraid.

Yikes that's a dumb article.

Are these the "pizza and Xbox Live" guys?

That doesn't adhere to any Forerunner design I've seen. I don't think that's Forerunner.

 

[Hydranockz]

Can someone explain why Reach looks like Earth... in almost every possible way?

Also, cheers to Zeouterlimits for giving me a loan of the Halo 3 essentials cds. 3 hours of pure bliss.

 

[Imperial Hot]

Has anyone thought about how Halo: Reach's engine, more specifically its ability to render large amounts of characters on screen at once, might impact multiplayer? A lot of what Bungie has had to say about Reach is the increase in the scale of the conflicts in the game. Maybe that will transfer over to the multiplayer resulting in much larger player counts? I like to think that there will be some modes with 24+ players in them. It seems they have the rendering capabilities, hopefully they will work out the netcode required to make it happen. I really think the Halo multiplayer sandbox could benefit with increased player counts in some playlists/game variants.

SIDENOTE: In the ViDoc Sage says that assassinations are initiated by holding the B button when meleeing from behind. Which makes sense because if it in multiplayer, it won't become a cheap tactic because you would have gotten the insta-kill assassination anyway. It will just be a kind of flourish move like the executions in Gears of War.

I hate being the last post on a page.

Both planets can sustain human life, they are going to have similarities.

 

[RSB]

That structure looks very similar to the Silent Cartographer entrance, actually.

One of the things I love about Halo is the forerrunner levels, because they are very fun to explore, and look much better than human levels (forerruner architecture >>>>> human architecture, IMO) I don't know how would they do it, but I kinda hope to see some forerruner structures in Halo Reach. Or at least make the human levels more interesting.

Bye

M-Class dooooooooood.

Also, I see trees and geological formations in those screens that don't look Terran.

Please don't click on it. But was that even in English?

 

[RotaryAce]

Has anyone already found what is clearly evidence of a Huragok in Reach? (At least for testing purposes)
3:03 into ViDoc

Who has two tiny thumbs and totally hates Bungie?

 

[soldat7]

Maybe loss of the flood will add more sentinel types?

I hope so. Sentinels have always provided a nice change of pace.

 

[Proelite]

If Reach is going to look like the alpha stuff in the vidoc, I'll be plenty satisfied.

 

[Proelite]

If you look closely at the stabbing parts in the vidoc, the first part he stabs with his bare hands, and in the second part he stabs with the handle of the pistol.

Invisible knife in halo reach confirmed?

[Chip N Chance]

Flipped the image horizontally.

Rock formations, branching paths, tree on the left, ring in the top left corner (lol), tree line on top behind hills. Ok, I'm reaching here, but at least it was fun getting on the Halo CE warthog and driving to the area that image reminded me of to snap a pic.

I love the way the Halo 1 pistol looked on screen. They should bring it back in a similar form.

 

[enzo_gt]

I WANT that. Colour Scheme is perfect.

Damn, that looks extremely beautiful. Something similar in the final game plus a beautiful melody from Marty, and it'll be mesmerizingly perfect, as usual.

Unrelated, I cut the x10 artwork so it looks nice as a 360 background, for some of my friends and I, and we really how it looks. I'll post it here in case some of you guys would also like to pimp your xbox 360s Reach style.

Put on thumb drive, insert it on 360, go to My Xbox > Picture Library > Portable Device > press Y on picture to set as background.

I like the more mature theme for this game. The previous titles were too bright and child like for me, especially after reading the novels. The novels paint a gritty and dark picture while the game is a coloring book in contrast.

Hopefully this game is closer to the books.

I don't see why people call the Halo titles childlike. They aren't exactly Viva Piñata (cept GBDP in Halo 3...). I liked the use of colour in all of the games. Nowadays, the colour makes it stand out in a world of brown shooters. The aliens already have a camouflage, they don't need to make their armour a drab fatigue. It's more ceremonial than anything else.
