Halo Reach Reveal Thread - Matchmaking/Multiplayer Details Revealed

ManCannon said:
I can't say with 100% certainty but I believe those tokens will apply to May 3rd access to the beta. My guess is that the codes would be sent out on that day but I don't have the final details yet. The sheer volume and scope of those offers would exponentially increase the scope of the "friends and family" weekend (which is really just a smaller scale ice breaker to make sure we're ready for prime time before we open the flood gates on Monday).

I don't want to write any checks I can't cash but I'm pretty sure we'll end up with some number of extra early invites to spread around as we can. We're all family here, right? :D

You better believe it.

Seeing as how I didn't get a code for the mythic maps early, I hope I'm family. :(

Makes me wish I spent my last 3 years here doing more posting and less lurking.

So do we get to see what luke has been working on all this time; some time tomorrow? :-)

Ahh yes, I almost forgot about that bit. Wasn't Luke spotted in the ViDoc doing something with armor customization? I couldn't tell if it was him, but I remember people talking about it.
 
I haven't had a chance to read the whole thread but what Bungie peeps do we have in here (so I know who is official :lol )?

I saw Urk, is ManCannon Brian G? Anyone else?

LTTP but here are some answers to recently posted questions and a few other unsolicited ramblings:

The March podcast with Sage & Carney looks like it's going to land first thing next week.

The next round of multiplayer coverage should surface tomorrow morning courtesy of some media partner websites and then Urk will spin his own special version of it for Friday on Bnet.

Expect to see some new info dropping in similar fashion over the next few weeks.

It'll be a while before any official Bungie videos emerge but April should be a fun month on a few different fronts, hopefully making the wait a little more bearable.

It's hard to believe that the Friends & Family portion of the beta begins just 5 weeks from tomorrow! :lol (with the remaining several million joining the fray on May 3rd)

Oh and the e3 meetingpocalypse is in full swing, gaining momentum every week. Can it hurry up and be fall plz.
Click to expand...

Awesome! Thanks for providing us with all these updates. Much appreciated. <3

Really looking forward to the podcast. Next week cannot come soon enough.
 
Oh man, I wonder what's in store for tomorrow. I do have a feeling that its going to be about the Ranking and cR.

And is it bad that I don't listen to the podcasts? Are they actually that enjoyable? I have never listened to one haha.

You guys should get William Shatner to be a guest on a podcast. You can edit in "Kkkkhhhaann!" in the opening music, and then have him actually do it during the podcast.

Epic.
 
Would be nice if they let us download the beta before May 3rd, since that way I don't have to spend all day downloading it. Not to mention LIVE usually breaks for these sort of things.

If we could play it before May 3rd, even better.

I'm assuming it's going to be broke or nearly broke on the 2nd, which is why I didn't bother taking the day off. Still bitter about the Halo 3 beta, I could only get the one day off and it was completely broken :lol

I'm assuming/hoping it'll be better than that, but I'm sure there's still going to be some snags no matter how much prep goes into it.
 
A Halo themed country-western music variety show would make an excellent podcast supplement. Or not. :D

Also, does Urk tweet in 3rd person sometimes? :lol

HAET COUNTRY WESTERN >:o

Also I'm pretty sure Brian has the reigns of @bungietweets as well as urk. He live tweeted from the Spike VGAs, after all.

This. Wtf, that tweet got me all confused. Who is tweetin over there then? Would be awesome if it turned out to be Jerome. What a twist.
 
So tomorrow we finally find out what cR stands for. I'm assuming its "credits",but what those credits are used for is the big question. I also remember on more then one occasion Bungie saying they were really focusing on adding replayability to the campaign so I'm thinking that the cR system applies to every aspect of Reach not just multiplayer. I have a good feeling that tomorrow will be filled with "HOLY SHITS" just like every other tidbit of Reach information that has been released so far.

Also for those hoping for Invasion information I'm pretty sure someone from Bungie said that it will most likely be revealed closer towards the beta.

If you find yourself with an hour to kill then chillax and let Luke's laughs lull you into a linguistically ludicrous dreamland. It blends humour and factual information nicely, some unique insights, and some snippets of awesome music.

I ussually hate myself for spending time on GAF instead of taking care of my responsabilities, my feelings now make the whole situation ironic. Oh well, a week or two of waiting won't kill me.

I only listen to two podcasts, Idle Thumbs for general games coverage and WIZARDS and the Bungie Podcast for teh Haloz.

It's really interesting, you get a wide variety of Bungie folks talking about their work, anedotes, not so subtle hints about upcoming awesome and real Urk voice. Plus it has FOGHORN.

Urk and Brian both confirmed we'd be getting the deets on the ranking system this week and it looks to following the same pattern as last week, website exclusive reveal, BWU follow up. It also looks like this might be the pattern over the next few weeks too so if Invasion isn't covered this week, it may just be next week or the next.

Weekly chunks spotlighting the features and changes seems like a great way to break down the meal into digestible chunks and next weeks podcast and April's podcast should help gravy up the plate.

Great time to be a Halo fan.
 
I can't wait for some more info tomorrow. Maybe we will get some new multiplayer screens with the info.

Also, how long til we see the elites up close? Since the premier trailer with the elite at the end I have been dying to see a close up in game.

Same here. I'm looking forward to seeing all the different Elite armor permutations we'll get to see in Campaign. Their armor has become more varied and interesting than the Brutes' armor since Halo 3 came along.
 
The question everyone wants answered: has teabagging received any overhauls? The difference between Halo 2 and Halo 3 was revolutionary. Has this act of superiority been somehow updated for Reach?
 
Can you Bungie guys just go ahead and release this in alpha stage(or whatever it is now)? I mean even in alpha I'm sure it's miles ahead of MW2, and I really need something new to play. :(

Now it actually generates the sound of your codpiece clanging against the helmet.

Remember the bug that prevented teabagging? It was flagged for fixing. Highest priority I bet, I can imagine the entire studio freezing their current work at the time to implement it. :lol

Give Youtube an hour, max, come May 3rd before a tidal wave of "Reachbagging!!!1!!" videos hit.

Quick question, do you think the Screenshots, confirmed to be in the beta (?) will be sent to you normal fileshare? If so, will they be viewable after the beta or will they erased afterwards?

Teabagging in the H3 Beta was better than the teabagging in the final product. I mean, the dead body was actually pulled upwards when you let go of the crouch stick.:lol

My mind would be blown if there is some sort of B.net integration for the beta.
 
I thought some of you guys may find this funny so I thought I'd share it.

So over the weekend I was playing football with some friends, even though the place we were playing at was only 5 minutes away we drove. 7 guys rode in my friends Jeep, and 3 other guys somehow managed to fit on another one of my friend's ATV. So we start playing and after 10 minutes the game ends due to uneven teams. For whatever reason one of my stupid friends makes a comment about a Mexican flag in a nearby soccer field, then someone makes a lame joke about CTF in Halo. Then my friend with the Jeep gets in and starts playing music really loud, nobody recognized it at first but then we all realize it's the Halo 2 theme song. He's like, get in the warthog and let's get the flag. 3 other guys run towards him and get in. Then my 3 friends hop on the ATV(which gets called the mongoose), and they start racing towards the flag. During their race they just start driving around like crazy, and I noticed one of the guys in the Jeep has a paintball gun(not even sure why my friend keeps it in his car but whatever). He starts shooting the guys on the ATV. He shot both guys on the back who then jumped off, then he shot the guy driving who came to a stop. While that happened one of the guys watching with me was like double kill, triple kill. And right after that the Jeep drove by and shot him with the paintball gun. I looked at the other guy next to me, and we were both like overkill. It was so perfect. Especially with the Halo theme song playing in the background.

I meant to say the beginning of Halo Reach beta unless it's done by the time I come back.

Might be traveling to Ohio to look after my uncle and aunt's dogs while they go on a vacation. It'll be fun.......................... no.

I leave at the beginning of May but it's not set in concrete.

Could also be related to a new Reach Stock Market feature. That Covenant glassing must have hit the metal markets hard.

Little in game messages as you progress informing you of your dwindling asset values.
