I'm still hating the fact there's no hud overlay like in halo 3, it always made me feel more spartan like seeing the faint blue outline on the hud, more imersive, just like in metroid.
Also scrapyard or w/e looks amazing, size, scale etc. And the skybox looks stunning, cant wait to fly around in that level and enjoy the vistas.
One other thing I'd really like to see is some ability for players to earn/capture resources, for an rts like gametype.
something like all players start out with only assault rifles, and as they get resources they can unlock their other loadouts.

urk said:There are three fireteams of two on each squad. I'll let you figure out the math.
I R Retard.
Wasnt it confirmed the Invasion mode in the beta is 3v3?
Am I misreading the sentence? I hate to ask for further clarification as I sensed a lot of sarcasm in the original post, but 3 fireteams of 2 implies 6 people?
What about in game modes with odd team sizes, 5v5 or 3v3?
I think im just misreading your post. Go easy on me Urk I havent slept because of revision and Halo 2! Have mercy :lol

Thermite, SpudBud and Nutter: Battle Bros until there's no such thing as time and space.
Also, will we be able to render clips from the Reach Beta on Bnet and save them to our PCs? If so, I plan on doing that A LOT to get over the few-month-hibernation from the Beta's end to the final release.

Yeah, I would think so with how big the maps can be.

So all I learned from the GTTV "reveal" was that Invasion involves 3 tiers and there are battle bros. That was the worst "reveal" of anything I have ever witnessed. I'd say it was a complete and utter waste of my time except I saw that Bungie was pimping a Pioneer Elite plasma in the background.

Hmm, at the end "We are now off to Seattle for no reason... May 3rd, Goodbye."

Btw nice Invasion write-up Dani.
In the final game you could play 8v8 Invasion if you want. Whether that hits matchmaking or not is TBD.
Please make the Beta last 3 months.

If we go into Invasion with a friend so that the 2 of us are in a party, will we automatically be paired as battle bros? Or is it randomly chosen among the entire team?

Anyone know what's up with iSimon's link? After I saved it, I was only allowed to open the file via Windows Movie Maker. What gives?

Optional, use the D pad to swap locations (depending on mode I take it)Dax01 said:
My thoughts on a few select stills from the GTTV segments...
It allows you to see where you're going to spawn. How nice.
Looks like D pad to select spawn location and Analogue Stick to select loadout (which can be confirmed, allowing greater vision of spawn location).
Dat sniper display... So good.
Originally I was all "wtf arrows" but this screenshot shows it says "A Team mate is waiting to respawn by you." How considerate of them to tell us.
Airdrop with a countdown and what looks to be the Gold Fireteam icons.
What I'm assuming this is either the blue fireteam or just default allies.
Invasion stage progression: You unlock the core...
... and then steal it. Also, 24 rounds in the needler's clip. Nice.
Is this the core? I think so. Guy doesn't shoot while carrying it, seems to be supremely vulnerable.

My god. The weapons in Reach look so much better than any in every other Halo game to date. I'm not just talking about graphics, either, but the design of the guns is so good.Kapura said:

I cant wait til tuesday with the full media blowout. I am really looking forward to seeing some of the assassinations.. I wonder what the chance is of some being based off of the weapon being used.
We need more gifs here. So much awesome stuff in last nights footage.

slight nod to the classic halo ce melee animation
more shotty love, thing looks so great <3
nice guy assisting his team, pp looks very nice
for some reason pictured this being done by Ghaleon
really nice sequence, it seems jumps have much less height
bullet tracers confirmed to still not come out from the guns
this is just so badass, love the screen shaking as you get hit
great reload animation
sweet ass elite jetpack, shame we won't be able to see it while we use it
some deemer love
fantastic death animations
bro spawn, check out how beautiful the blue light
looks when it hits the ground
this guy spawns up some kind of grav lift shaft
(edit- nope, the guy is just jumping as he spawns, thanks shishka)
