    You don't like survival mode? ): I hope the beta isn't only out for 2 weeks like Halo 3 multiplayer beta.

    the beta for reach will not be with the game! you get the code and everything, but then you have to wait a while before you can use it. there was an article on this somewhere on the web earlier today that i was reading.

    Yes it will. Bungie said so. It'll come with the game CD. You read wrong.

    It is, when you get Halo:Reach, you can start playing reach beta I believe.

    Closeup=doesn't even look like MJOLNIR.

    But these kids found a reasonable explanation with facts at least

    If it ends up being a class game... well I really hope that it doesn't add up to as Team Fortress Halo.

    really? i thought that there were three (mabie even four) teams in the war? mabie i'm wrong but here's the possible "factions" for halo:
    UNSC
    Covenant
    The Flood
    Rebels
    and i al;so have characters for each:
    UNSC:spartans (each armor variant is differant), marines and ODSTs.
    Covenant:The typical troops for the covies + the never before seen covenant trooper (that wasn't put into the halo games. it was ment to destroy vehicles).
    Flood: the flying units, and the regular units (obiously they're not on reach, but they could be on another planet that you go to.)
    Rebels: they weren't on reach but they, like the flood, could be on another planet. you could use......oh i don't know mabie terrorists.

    I know, I wish we could face elites instead of ODST in firefight... I never really liked brutes, they aren't as alien as elites. At least we'll be able to start killing elites again for Reach. Bring back the Halo 1 elites!

    Vidmasters, and the collectible one. Absolute bullshit. Collecting 100. I'm gonna wait for a guide to come out though before I collect them, so when I start to try for the achievement, I won't miss any.

    so, will the engineers be the human kind, or the Covenent race/Forerunner android thing? just wondering, and the Deja vu one, looks, well, like the vidmaster annual one, with 4 player legendary live co-op iron on and everybody in ghosts, ah, horrible, horrible, times, stupid internet (I didn't mean don't fail me, I need the net!) anyways, I was just curious, and it also means that there might be hidden skulls in the campaign..... :() muhahahahahahhaahha...Black eye overshield anyone? IWYBYD, ah Johnson, what a nut, and terrible shot with a Splaser! Stiil, I really want one of these games to feature the ability to turn off assassinations! Think of the possibilities! (not pie) lets see.

    Which looks more like the ones in the picture of all the Spartans? In the Reach Trailer that is?[​IMG]
    ooooooh, New Machine Gun, or something like that, it looks part ODST, part Mark III and part Cyborg Knight(Jedis?) Can we we use the machete that one guy has? Wait, is this based partly on the Ghost Recon/GRAW(2?) gear? BTW in the Advoe, I spy a Covenant ship, glassing reach, and mountains, and of course, the big explosion that is the orangeish backround

    If you look closely, the 100 has a percent sign by it, so it just means all of them. Also, I'm looking forward to the Vidmasters. I want a challenge this time around.

    personally, I very surprised by the male and female difference between the spartans, I had always assumed the armor was the same, because, to me the female suit looks slightly less intimidating (but thats a natural side affect of me being a male so...) so I assumed they were the same as to not let the enemy tell the difference (other then vocaly) I can imagine all the lonley guys out there clamouring to play as her and the other possible female, LOL, I'm going for the MC every time (he's my second favorite spartan next to..well, I'd rather not say) and if not the MC, well then the funny guy (every real team out there has one) or drive the Spartan Rick Roll Mobile! (wait, they never had one :( to bad) I'm starting to question Reach more and more everyday, I'll still but it even if the only goal for beating it on legendary is a secret unicorn level, in which you must fight unicorns! oh the horror! or something dumb like that. I Also want to splatter little kids with a pelican! muhahahahahahhaha *cough* *cough* just as long as it still is halo, not halofront (battlefront or whaterver) or something so unimaginably horrible, that the though scars mens minds! Barbie as Cortana! I hate cheap kids movies. especially when I'm trying to watch family guy reruns and its there! (commercial) anyways, I'll try my best to Leeroy Jenkins the Campaign and get everyone I know (cept me) killed in the process (game wise)
