That's not Isolation. Definitely not. That looks like the testing arena Bungie uses for tons of stuff. It's been seen in the H3 vidocs. There was one part of an H3 ViDoc where they showed a Brute in the same looking arena.

edit: I checked and I guess it's not the same place, but it looks like it. The picture with the engineer just has those extra walls. *shrug*



:D
here we go!

Woah woah woah. Why does that BRUTE have a PLASMA SWORD!?!?!?!?!

Because it was for testing? Because they considered it and then realised that it's an Elite weapon? That's from an old Halo 3 Vidoc (Et tu, brute? iirc) if you didn't realise.

Is this what you saw? Looks like it's in the 'Isolation' map from Halo 3.

Yeah sorry, I just don't see Isolation there. You can see tentacles, and a big bulbous sack. As well as blue and pink-ish looking colors like Engineers in ODST. Also I'm pretty sure Isolation was one of the most unpopular maps from Halo 3 so I doubt we'll see in back in Reach. As someone else mentioned, they could just be for Firefight, or they could be back altogether for Campaign who knows.

So I'm not fairly confident Brutes and Engineers are in Reach. Skirmishers are a new addition. We have yet to see Drones to my knowledge though. So we'll have to kee our eyes peeled. I kind of hope Drones get a re-tool is they're back as well. They were pretty dangerous in ODST, but I still don't know if they're fun to fight.

Glutton for punishment? After the first 3 or 4 I'd be thinking to myself "you know, this riding around on the 'goose thing just isnt working out for me right now...." but you sir... you just don't know when to quit! I'm not sure whether to admire that or laugh at it.

Remember that CinemaBlend article (mutliple halo bashing articles btw) that had that poll... well Cinema Blend puts it to good use. :lol This is amazing. This site should be banned from NeoGAF and everywhere else. All these articles I've been getting from N4G of course, which has a anti-Halo top news post every day.

[edit] Okay, I guess I'm the only one who cares that this asshole has been shitting on the Halo community for years and calls himself a journalist.

I'm thinking some Bungie guy must have slept with Usher's mom, or something. The guy has been on a vendetta for years.

If you don't mind, would you render this clip? I call it "why rockets shouldn't be heat-seeking missiles and other lessons I learned from actually aiming"

Rendered.

Why do you always look at such stupid shit, say it's stupid shit, but end up spreading the stupid shit around?

I was trying to keep the three guys at the back occupied. It actually worked, but at my expense.

He's about 25 too. Amazing. He's the owner of the site too, so we can't even complain to his boss.

I have 42 minutes if anyone needs anything rendered.
I've been looking to get this rendered for a while, as long as you're sharing :p

Me and a friend are cruising along in the hornet, an enemy launches out of the mancannon, hits us with rockets from midair, and the hornet corpse splatters a guy on top of a rock :lol He ust looks so triumphant, and then BOOM. Hornet to the head. Moments like that are why I love Halo.

If it's not too much, could you please render this clip for me

It'd be awesome if you could render this film.

All three rendered.

Hey, Domino, can you render every film out there because you have so many goddamn minutes?

Each film I rendered is only a minute long, so if using 3 minutes means I have so many goddamn minutes, then I say gotdamn.

I have 500 minutes left to use.

And by 500, I totally mean 38.

I remember being next to you on avalanche and seeing you dome some fool dirty across the map with the snipe. I was impressed at the time for some reason. Customs were great.

That was me. I jumped out from behind a warthog I was using for cover. Freedom was 5 feet away... My feet never made it to the ground. :(

i thought you were going to get it right away then your teammate betrays you.:lol
you must have been so pissed
Oh my god you have no idea how pissed I was. I wanted to fucking betray him then and there, but I didn't want to waste the opportunity. After the match, I did tell him he couldn't stop my awesome.

I am in a similar situation to Domino's: I have 58 minutes and no idea what do do with them. If anybody ever needs a clip rendered, I'm here for you.

Because they should get a bunch of shit about them for posting shit like this.

Shit.

Aw, really? I was hoping that guy would get fired. Well I guess showing disgust over this crap is just adding more fuel to the fire. My bad.

Spoilers:
You can choose green as a color option for your armor in MP.
Can you confirm there will be more colors for armor in Reach? Will red and blue make a return?
edit:
thanks halogaf I cant stop seeing things like this

You guys need to get your eyes checked. ;)
Heh guess I do. After further inspection, it just looks like the same helmet Noble Six has in all the media so far. Oops. :lol
Can't wait to see more of the customization.

Was listening to Rooster Teeth's Drunk Tank podcast; one of their guys was at X10 and saw Reach. Some quotes:
"The character models look stupid awesome. So badass."
"All the different armors have equipment attached to them. Sort of like what we did in Red vs Blue. For example, a guy sprinting, you could hit a bumper and a meter would run down..."
Can't tell if saying the armors had equipment just meant that the armor power-ups exist, or if each power-up comes with a certain armor perm. I hope the first one.
And armor abilities are mapped to bumpers, huh.

im pretty sure hes talking about the sprint item being an equipable piece to your armor that is visually seen on your character.... so if your playing multiplayer you can tell what equipment players are using.

Speaking of instilling some patience for the beta, just pre-ordered BF:BC2. Amazon's $20 credit pushed me over the edge.

I think it'd be perfect if armor abilities were determined by what armor permutation you had. It's been a concern of mine about how they were going to display the armor permutation on enemy/allies so shit didn't seem so random. It only makes sense to have the sprint ability lock you into using a unique gauntlet/boot permutation that makes it obvious to other players.

I really hope they keep BJ's shoulder button configuration. Haven't seen all the armor permutations yet but the ones revealed so far aren't going to benefit much from me not having to stop aiming to use a face button.

Okay, this interpretation is better. I'm fine with there being some sort of visual representation of each ability on a person. In fact, I'm all for it. I was just worried I could be locked in to using Hayabusa if I want to stay off radar, or something like that.
I hope BJ is still there too.
