How do you find out the matchmaking numbers?


Hang em High in Reach would be amazing, Reach even has fall damage! Only problem is Hang em High and even Tombstone are fairly abstract, I dont see where they would fit into story mode.

Hang em high with the all the pillars being ODST drop pods instead??? :lol

Well at least they admit it.:lol

Well I certainly plan on giving the aul beauty a send off, so will of course join you.

Send her off for me too

If I tell you my password...

I have an interview at an independent game studio next week for an internship for the summer. Any HaloGaf tips?

D'oh! I spent ages looking for that, luckily im on my laptop now but I was on that page earlier on my PC using IE and it didnt show up.

Thanks!



Jellyfish that actually sounds pretty cool, I hope the ODST's are really shown off in Reach -theyve always been the coolest looking characters- considering weve had a whole game dedicated to them I hope they play a big part. It would be even cooler if they hate spartans.


Edit: Hydra if he isnt im willing to play a game on your account, but personally I would never hand my password out online lol

I am NOT a Jellyfish. =P

It would be pretty sweet to see a remake like that though, could easily have an outdoors version of hangem. Think the outdoor areas in the mission "Flawless Cowboy" in Halo: CE when you are searching for those marines, structures similar to those and then ODST drop pods all over the ground. Could have easy backstory of ODST dropping in to take controller of the structure that is A. weapons refinery B. covenant strong hold or C. holds some kind of forerunner tech.

Make it happen Bungie!

Nope, just play. Play on 4/14 and you'll get on the list for the Reach flair. The prizes for other stats and metrics will be taken care of behind the scenes, all secret like.

Awesome. I'll be doing that for sure.

Really, they're funny. You're like a redheaded Donald Glover.

Quick question then, if we play on 4/14, we automatically get something for Reach like a armor piece or something, so meaning if we had played H2 some other time online, that won't matter? If true that kinda sucks, you need to think of the people with the broken xbox's.

The query for all time players would tear our inter-dimensional membrane. Even our online team must occasionally bow to the laws of the universe.

Didnt you say in a BWU that anyone who ever played Halo 2 gets a special veterency emblem or something though?

I guess this been changed to just the people who play tomorow?

Im also just double checking, you mean the 14th according to your timezone right? So I cant just play a game now - I have to wait till its the 14th in America right?

Oh and oops "I am NOT a Jellyfish. =P" :lol

As long as its not a wharehouse ill be happy - honestly though unless its a forerunner facility ill feel a little robbed. For all we know the original Halo 1 Hang Em High was set on Reach and its a place we will explore in camepeign now, if that happened it would blow my mind and make Bungie even more awesome.

Spoiler

My stupid far fetched idea will never happen, your ODST idea sounds so much more likely, if it would happen at all

 

[The Librarian]

The "Did you know?" messages are definitely pretty rad. :lol

So I'm freaking out because it's getting so close :lol

How many hours are left of Halo 2 online? What time is it officially over, PST?

Actually, after talking to The Wolf it does look like there will be a little something sweet for anyone who played some Halo 2 over Xbox LIVE, assuming the gt they use in Reach is the same account.

Well at least I got an answer, only good news is that my xbox died now instead of when the beta started, if it did that I wouldn't of even hesitated to buy an arcade unit. :lol

But I'm still sad, only invasion can cheer me up now.

[Foxy Fox 39]

Wow so there's a possibility of getting three treats?

Playing H2
Playing H2 on the 14th
And playing H2 on the 14th and having some sort of special stat (last game/kill etc)

 

[wwm0nkey]

thank you!!

No problem, it will help a lot of you are wanting to get into the final game

If you can bend the laws of the universe, why didn't you time travel so you could warn Sage about out less-than-favorable reaction to the inclusion of the laser?

[Lazslo]

Added, but please don't keep on running me over with the Gauss Hog or running into speeding trains. :lol

That was ridiculous, what are the odds getting hit twice in a row. Getting ran over by that train is never anything short of awesome though.

Giant Bomb is going to have a Halo 2 /xbox Live, Live stream send off tomorrow.

http://www.giantbomb.com/news/you-say-goodbye-i-say-halo/1954/

As Microsoft announced back in February, online support for the original Xbox and its associated games will be coming to an end soon--April 14th, to be exact--and, much like we did for The Matrix Online, we'll be live streaming the final minutes of the service. The focus will definitely be squarely on Halo 2--with members of the Waypoint team at 343 Industries potentially making some online guest appearances and beating our asses mercilessly--though we might try and sneak in a little Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge or MechAssault while we're at it.

Oh yes.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

So Urk, we need to play on 4/14 PST? Or 4/14 in our timezone? It goes offline at midnight between the 14th and the 15th PST, I'm guessing?

I'm in PST, so I don't need to figure out timezone stuff, but EuroGAFfers might

[Schmitty]

I hope you guys will be playing until quitting time. The earliest I can get on is 20 to 3.

I'll be mooching off my friend's Xbox all day at his place since mine is broken. I will be playing for however long is possible.

 

[feel]

Appears to me that what was supposed to be a prize for playing on the 14th is now being extended to everyone who ever played halo 2 on the same gamertag, after urk asked someone in charge today about it.

 

[neoism]

So inspired by Bladed I made this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KlctrgwDD0

It was an experiment in seeing how well I could set my stuff against the Reach reveal music, I really wanted to try and get the timing between the music and the gameplay right - which is something I suck at :lol

I would love constructive feedback, did I get the timing right?

P.S. Its amazing how much footage Bungie put in that 1:20 odd seconds!

OMG, please let me there's a mp3 download somewheres

 

[wwm0nkey]

Time machine runs on tears.

You will have more than enough of them tomorrow.

 

[RebornYeti]

YES! Found someone willing to lend me Halo 2 for the last moments.

If anyone would like to add me and play tonight and all tommorow, my Gamertag is RebornYeti

Thanks!

 

[Kapura]

I hope there's a HUGE surge of H2 online tomorrow, because my guess for the last game in Halo 2 is about 300,000 games off so far.

 

[Schmitty]

OMG, please let me there's a mp3 download somewheres

Clicky

 

[bobs...onGaf]

At first I got all excited thinking you wanted a downloadable version of my video :lol

The music can be downloaded here:

If that link doesnt work just look at the Soundtrack section of the Reach project page.

I wouldn't mind playing with you (or anyone else on right now), as long as you don't mind playing with someone who is, by all accounts, terrible.

Oh, don't worry about that. I haven't played Halo 2 since before Halo 3 launch. :lol

I'm sure I'll be horrible.

Yeah, I tried to watch the quick look of the Bad Company 2 beta they had and had to turn it off after a few minutes because of how terrible they were.

I'd say If your watching GB for gaming skillz in quick looks, you're watching for the wrong reason.

Hey can I get an invite if your planning to play? I wont be able to talk though

 

[Trasher]

So, Tombstone would make good DLC for Reach. Just sayin'

That remake sucked so hard.

I'm not watching for skills, but it definitely makes it harder to watch.

I just remember looking so forward to the H3 beta that I played the Blastacular map pack very little compared to the thousands of games I put into H2.
