Halo Reach Reveal Thread - Matchmaking/Multiplayer Details Revealed

So Loadouts associate a specific AA with a weapon set, but weapon sets are constatish. Sounds goodManCannon said:Boy Urk is gonna be mad at me when he gets back from lunch and I'm spoiling his BWU with real-time updates.
So - Sage just specified more for me that Assassinations can only be triggered within an approx. 120 degree cone outside the players field of view (back and sides).
The assassination depicted in the trailer is misleading because you don't see the initial frames when the Spartan is getting spun around with the first hit, resulting in a face-to-face finish.
Currently in the games I've played, I recall each load-out offering a unique armor ability but almost all of them having the same weapons. Again, this is highly contextual to the gametype in question and will vary accordingly. You can totally pick up other weapons on the map though (which is why you see Jet Pack guys wielding DMRs and ARs).
(everyone please act surprised when Urk posts this on Friday)

If you saw their forums you would see why they are slow. They don't know how to run a website.Blueblur1 said:

I always kind of liked how delicate the Banshee used to look, not sure how I feel about the new one.

Man the Covie weapons look phenom. Fuck.
Also, I'm well aware this is a completely retarted question, but is there any chance of being surprised by MP mode with bots?
You know because it would be a pretty cool option that even many inferior shooters have. Bots are good, especially for those who don't happen to play online.

Are you from GI? If so, Any word on when the info will go up?
ManCannon said:
Is there a 'cooldown' feature for armor abilities? In Halo 3 it's 3 minutes between power weapons. Say I choose sprint at the start of the match because I want rockets and I die before I get there. On my loadout screen if I choose camo instead of sprint for my next life, do I have to wait 2 minutes or so for my armor ability to 'respawn'?

Nice pics and info, looking forward to the GI piece so that I can read clean English.

I mean, I know everybody stopped playing Halo 3 because I was dominating with it so hard but don't expect it to be any different in the beta.
So these articles are supposed to be about the sandbox right? Are we getting details on these weapons they're throwing pictures out there for or what?
I'm not sure how long I can look at that laser and be reminded of the fucking mess it creates in Halo 3. Until I know how its been nerfed for Reach it no amount of polys could make me happy to see that piece of shit.
