Hey guys another sweet animation I noticed. At the 56 mark look to the left of the screen at the guy shooting. Is that a new crouching animation? I know the one in H3 was pretty good but I never noticed the strafe looking so hot. Am I wrong?

[Pennybags]

Hmmmm...doesnt seem like this thing homes in on players on the ground. So many when Bungie says it tracks 'bipeds' they mean jetpack users?

Nah, man. Just means that mechs are confirmed for Reach.

 

[Gui_PT]

Decisive face!

:lol :lol

If it's not too much trouble, could someone possibly avatarize that for me? I'd appreciate it

Who is the leader of Halo GAF now? I have ODST again.

Does anyone know the exact disadvantage to installing Halo 3 Multiplayer? I'm playing right now on it and it seems to be fine maybe a slightly longer load.

 

[LunaticPuma]

I kind of want this(the chess gametype/map) in the final game. It seems like it would be fun.

 

[GhaleonEB]

This one looks so good, but it kinda bothers me that the Elite is just sliding around. :lol

I can't stop looking at how the dude on the receiving end gets knocked over to the side, instead of going into the normal swimming animation. Looks hilarious and awesome.

The new animations alone are going to make for some epic gifs and picture stories.

Ding. That's it.

My friend and I have our own version of chess in Halo 3. We use fusion coils as pawns, ghosts as rooks, hornets as knights, mongooses as bishops, the queen as a receiver node, and the king as a sender node.

OMG Vidoc rocked. I want Halo Chess so bad!

 

[Tashi]

Meh, I'll wait for MLG Halo Chess.

Yeah, this gif is hypnotizing. I love the effect of the Gravity Hammer's blast. Looks so good.

I imagine that each sticky/explosive requires a certain travel distance before homing in on a target. Not to mention in that image, they're being shot straight down at the ground and at a fairly close range (wasn't it stated that this was designed more as an anti-vehicle weapon?). That thing would be uber OP if it could track onto someone from that distance, being shot at that angle, with projectiles traveling that quickly.

So you're just going to wait for the bastardized version where the only pieces are the king and queen?

 

[Sanjuro]

Ding. That's it.

I just wanted to be sure it was just that alone then say any hiccups when I'm lasering your face. I want to make sure you have an even tan.

 

[NOKYARD]

Wow! That room looks like it's 20 x 23.5 x 9.5, same size as a map from last year's April Fools Day prank.

hmmmm...

Can someone make this avatar sized for me (cropping the sides etc.)? Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you! :D

 

[GhaleonEB]

I like how the sprint icon is now just a picture of a dude sprinting, instead of a lightning bolt. I'm guessing it's a move toward less abstract indicators, such as the ones for Halo 3's equipment. It will make them much more recognizable.

 

[Blueblur1]

I'm at work and completely confused. Is there a real vidoc up or not? Anyone got a YouTube link?

It shows some Reach stuff, but it is a "prank."

beaten badly

Can someone Gif the part where the dude gets smashed by the sword at 1:50?

True, but there's also a moment in the multiplayer beta trailer when you can see the gun being used in a large gathering of infantry. Lots of blue explosions, none of which were direct hits.

Quite frankly, if this thing has any kind of tracking on standard infantry, I think it would fall in the OP category.

And that's coming from someone that had no problem dealing with the Spartan Laser, or the AR. I guess I just come from this old school of thought where you should actually have to put the reticule over the target to hit it.

I added you Ghaleon to XBL, anyone else who plays regularly I'll add as well. Getting into social slayer right now, I forgot how much fun it was to be able to talk to the opposing team.

Havent played in awhile, but plan on playing ALOT during April to build towards the Reach beta. I play objective gametypes mostly, so give me a shout if you're ever up for those or customs. GT: violentBREED

 

[Kibbles]

Holy shit, a ViDOC! Bungie = Masters of April Fool's Day.

Can't wait for the beta!

[edit] lmao, Chess. Love the ending quote by Luke Timmins too.

Spoiler

So was this it or are we going to get a real MP ViDoc soon too?

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Just curious. What program/programs are you guys using to capture video clips?

I am currently working an extra long shift at work in order to have time off for the beta...

26 days straight = 11 days of pure beta goodness.

You can add me if you'd like, but I won't be on until the end of April.

[Pappasman]

what are the chances this ends up being in the game?

I hope it does... It would be an awesome egg if you could somehow get into this room in one of the campaign levels.

Especially if the bipeds were set up and everything. :lol

edit: No problem at all Gui! Add away

Anyone want to get a full team going right now?

Devin Olsen, mind if I add you too?

 

[Walshicus]

 

[Schmitty]

That ViDoc made my day. Something actually funny to come out of April Fool's Day and new Reach footage. "As designers...we are given the difficult task to invent fun..":lol

Edit: Y and D aren't even close?!

Room for me? I'm currently downloading the Halo 2 maps, but I will be willing to jump ship as soon as the current set is finished.

I don't remember that in the original vidoc... must be a shop.

 

[DiabolicalBagel]

That ViDoc made my dad.

:lol I like it.

Are you questioning an image of dubious origin's veracity?

I'm not even online yet. Trying to confirm a whole team first

 

[Schmitty]

Really wish my roommate's Xbox didn't break.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Yeah, I believe the bunny and knife were in the vidoc, but Luke Smith has been cleverly shopped in (you can tell by the edges, they're less edgy).

:lol love the edit, I was about to ask which Bungie member is your grandfather.

 

[electricpirate]

I wonder if those markers are part of the game or just an asset for this joke. I like the way they refract the light.

 

[metareferential]

So the waving-hand death animations are gone for good?

The new ones are impressive.

No, they were in the Multiplayer ViDoc I think.

That's why I said that.

They were there, now I don't see'em.

I wonder how the Lazer would balance out without a scope.

That might just be the thing we need.

Um... he's a piece on a chessboard. You expecting bunny-hopping or something? :lol

LTTP as usual but is that the $100 Halo licensed helmet in the bollywood video?

No, that's a Nightmare Armor helmet.
