[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Steelspawn18 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ALPHAxxDRAGON [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Fearing Oh man, this was a great update. The big question I have about the Deja Vu video though is that if all the MP maps are in campaign, and that looks to be a Halo ring in the background of the new Gulch, are we gonna end up on a ring, or will this game be completely on Reach as we've been lead to believe and this stage just get a skybox change? Or did I just see something that wasn't there? Really, REALLY getting impatient for this game, it's looking SOOOO amazing. ... and hope that Noble 6 Avatar helmet is available through other means besides what's listed in the update.[/quote] only reach[/quote] Pretty sure there is a ring in the sky in the original blood gulch/ coagulation.[/quote] Yes, there was, but if this MP map is in the campaign (as Bungie has said all the MP maps will be) then the ring seems curious.

What's a reticule? Isn't that some sort of ladies' handbag thing? lol. Nvm. Great update! I love the armor permutations and all the news about the work you've done on campaign and Firefight. Good job guys!
-
OMG HOLOGRAMS -blam!- THAT LOOKS TO MUCH FUN AND LEAKED ARMOR INFO. LOOKS AWESOTHX FOR MAKEING AWESOME GAMES AND MAKING THEM FUN FOREVER WON
-
I'm surprised (and very very glad) to see those Firefight voice options. Hopefully more become available as the game progresses for even more options. Wish List: Sergeant John Forge Dare Rest of the ODSTs from Halo 3: ODST Miranda Keys Lord Hood 'Thel Vadam (The Arbiter) James Cutter Serina Carol "Foehammer" Rawley Jacob Keyes and . . . . Guilt Spark ;-)

First. Now reading.

[quote]that army guy next to Buck it must be Kurt from the Halo Books hes the Spartan II who trained all the Spartan III's[/quote] Thats a good theory. But it is most propably [b]Seregant Pete Stacker[/b] from past halo games, the second coolest officer to Johnson. [Edited on 07.17.2010 4:51 AM PDT]

Hopefully The AI in Reach don't drive into walls and get you killed like in the past halo games.
-
Noble Teams helmets are in the picture! EDIT: not the avatar pictures [Edited on 07.17.2010 4:35 AM PDT]

Saved film, or it didn't happen!

Scratch that it's not a Halo 3 model. No Idea then

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BobRobDobalina [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Danves [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BobRobDobalina Here's my thoughts on the mystery UNSC face next to Buck. I'm gonna go with either CPO Mendez, Colonel Ackerson, or the glorious return of Captain Jacob Keyes. The bigger question is, what's the space in between the mystery soldier and Kat? Looks straight outta Tron.[/quote] I don't think it can be Mendez. He was on Onyx helping train the Spartan-III's with Kurt at the time. It looks vaguely like Keyes, but I'm not sure. Also, was Ackerson even on Reach?[/quote] I'm pulling for Keyes because that would be awesome. The other two were just possibilities. Mendez would probably have a cigar. Ackerson was on Reach when the Chief got debriefed about cote d'azur. I'm thinking he just stuck around for a while. Probably left when the fighting started getting hot because he's a coward.[/quote]I thought it was Sgt.Stacker it is a Halo 3 model after all.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MaxRealflugel Allegedly, the Cortana image isn't a skin or voice option. It is, instead, a lap dancing achievement. [/quote] I think that applies to the entire bottom row ;-)
-
Not that I'm not grateful, but I'd still like to get a look at the Marathon helmet. And can't wait to start tearing up people with the Scorpion back in the canyon.

What the hell is with those last 4 pictures? Are they just fillers or do they have a meaning?
-
Gonna be very cool game. But those screenshots are eyecandy for me... mmm... But that's very huge update to read, very huge game. What other is huge in Reach? Invasion? At least. But you never know, that how many good maps there will be. [Edited on 07.17.2010 2:12 AM PDT]

My hype-meter just broke. That's a good thing right? Anyways, nice update Ur-... Sketch. :) *Nice is inverse-hyperbole, in this instance.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Skittles x [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ashjr59 Does anyone know what the armor affect is[/quote] From the looks of the armory pic, it is things like Grunt Birthday Party explosion when you get headshotted, or the hearts like marty had in the [url=http://i696.photobucket.com/albums/vv321/Dezmund2/hugmarty.jpg]ODST easter egg[/url]. Looks like they threw in quite a few others as well. The one with the green stuff could be the green dusty puffs you get when you kill flood characters in other halo games. Who knows...[/quote] Good guess, I too think the skulls represent armor effects that are applied to your kills instead of yourself, so you can cause explosions of confetti/hearts/etc when you dispatch enemies. As for the spart helmet armor effects, those are obviously going to be similar to the flaming helmet; an effect for your spartans head. I've not cancelled my legendary edition order but I will probably be running around with a head full of lighting more often than fiery flames... The green flood spore gas is cool too and I'm very curious to see what other effects there are, hopefully there will also be a helmet effect that radiates flying hearts =D

Those avatar awards look amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on Reach, just 8 more weeks. I don't know if I will be a big fan of the hologram armor ability but I will have to wait and see. Comic Con just got 10x better thanks to Bungie. Can't wait to see what is beyond the Canyon. Keep up the great work guys, the game looks amazing. Also, are there new skulls? In the carnage report at top of the update, it showed all the skulls and I haven't seen some of them before.
-
I love all the different variants you can have for this game. I wish more games would allow you to be able to customize it like this game can. Great update, Sketch.

I've gotta say, this update was a joy to read. It makes me want to go back and read previous weeks now. I love how candid you guys are when you talk about the creative process and I'd like to say I appreciate all the effort you've put into Reach. I'm truly looking forward to this game, like no Halo game previously. :D Hopefully if I get my Gaming Blog started by the time it comes out I can put up a review for Halo: Reach after I've gone through the campaign and some of the multiplayer. One thing I chuckle to myself when thinking though, if Chief is a Firefight voice does that mean he almost never speaks, just like in the Halo franchise? :P Seriously though, I appreciate all the effort you've put into this game, and its reading things like this that make me want to get into the gaming industry myself, either as a Reporter for OXM, IGN, etc or as a game designer myself. Thanks so much for all the effort guys, and I'm really looking forward to playing Reach on 9/14, hope to see the dev team online at some point. :D
