add to that, the name of that one loadout that destroyed the ghost. It's called Armor Lock, when the group were talking about serpentine tactics, one guy says "Yeah right, what you're gonna do is run out in the open, Armor Lock, and have our Doubles partner clean up! lolol..."
Reach sounds a helluva lot better than my current feelings for Halo 3, damn you Bungie, dammmmnn you. I can't just let my baby cry when I'm in Matchmaking games, what the hell is wrong with you Bungie for peaking my interests in Reach. It's a sad day for Alexa, sorry sweetheart you're going to have to take the bench on this one.
Fingers crossed we'll be able to turn off fall damage for custom gametypes. I mean it's great that we have it, but I'm just saying that there should be an option to turn it off. And also like what Sage said during the podcast, I hope that there will be a skull that turns off auto-aim. Oh and also, They said it was 7 shots to the body to kill with DMR to a healthy spartan (4 for shields + 3 body).
this sounds like a whole new game.. halo 3 imo was a near perfect game. Extremely enjoyable with very few faults and the multiplayer experience was epic. (not including boosters and lag lol) but with a game change this much.. i dont wanna hype it too much incase i get severly let down I fear the head of bungie may have got too big to still create an amazing game better than h3, i hope for their sake and mine it hasnt
Well the good thing is it is a whole new game. This isn't just a rework of Halo 3. There are many things which are on the market which sell well and the production team simply try to do the same thing again and make more money. Doing that again and again eventually makes the product stale. Halo 3 will still be around when Reach ships. Halo 2's player count decreased quickly when Halo 3 came out because it was built for the old console, using the old XBL. We'll still have filesharing, good XBL multiplayer and probably matchmaking updates. I'm glad its a whole new game, I don't want to feel like I wasted money on a game which is so similar to one I already have just because it has Halo in the title.
fair shout, i guess i just dont want the game to be a flop.. i always have loved the halo series since the first game. and in all honesty i thought h2 was the worst game (because i didnt have multiplayer) because the storyline wasnt all that great, and i simply didnt like the arbiter missions. I'm kinda hoping theres no flood in reach though...
IIRC they said there isn't going to be any flood in reach. And it wouldn't make any sense for there to be as John-117 is just barely releasing it while reach is getting glassed. H2 was pretty awful if you didn't have XBL multiplayer. With that it was a really fun game. Halo: Reach is gonna be awesome. Bungie is sure to go out with a bang.
No, its 4 to the body, 1 to the head. Same with the Pistol. (5 to the body + 1 to the head for Elites)
They said it was 3 to the body? I'm not talking about shields, I'm talking about a normal spartan without shields taking DMR bullets anywhere except the head. Which is 3 hits to kill or 4 for an elite.
There should be another podcast tomorrow morning, btw. ALSO, this came from Bungie's twitter account earlier: more live-action commercials, a la ODST?! Looks like MC's helmet!
bungies not going out, atleast not for a while. They are still toying with the idea of being a multi platforming company. Halo, will go out with a bang.
Perhaps it doesn't have anything to do with Reach. Though, it is about time for some TV spots for Reach. Halo 3 kicked off it's TV campaign in early February. But that is definitely MC. Maybe its him waking up from cryo? :O foreshadowing for a new 343 game? who knows. Though, you'd think 343 would taese it themselves if that were the case. The image looks semi-CG/semi-real. Whatever it is, we'll find out before the end of the week. EDIT: this just in from Brian Jarrard: Maybe it's another project from FourthWall Studios (the guys that did Sadie's Story)?
Edit: Forget it, that is chief. Or at least someone with the same helmet. Although I still believe that they wouldn't overshadow Reach with news of a new game starring Chief.
He wasn't on Reach at the time the invasion started, but he was part of that timeline, and he did return to Reach while the Covenant were still there.
Maybe....just maaaaybe they are prepping an xbox 360 re-release of Halo 1 and 2 on the same disk, a'la God of War 1 and 2 on PS3. Updated with revamped HD visuals and full XBL support along with achievements. That would be epic.
i dont think the radar jammer was activated plus if it was it probably doesnt affect him but the enemy and it probably only lasts 30 secs to 60 secs...
