Graphics improved that's cool but I wonder myself, What about Linda O58 and "The Fall Of Reach" Sam, Kelly, etc. if you put aside the book in these new Halo Reach i have the bad feeling these gonna be an epic fail, because that book is a master piece, is so cruel just like I would like to play a videogame!!! The first time i watched KAT i was thought she was Linda, but then i read about Spartan III, team noble, some dude called Jorge and i said WTF!!! I love Halo, but if these new videogame Halo Reach is different of the fall of Reach is going to be so hard to face the big dissapoint! Rakrois 747 pd. I love the Cortana's mission (Halo 3)where she said "do you like games? so do I" and blamed THE COIN that part is a master piece in every second!!! [Edited on 02.03.2010 2:52 PM PST]

So no more BR I'm guessing :( I might as ell start practicing with that carbine :( Did they take BR out of matchmakeing also???
-
omg! I wonder how will the energy sword look like?
-
I would like the gun to be fully automatic like the Tar 21!!
-
This Game Better Have Different Vehicles!!!
-
So... the clip is in the stock of the AR? That'd make it a bit awkward...
-
Finally, some new Podcast, about time guys.
-
Alright so what's up with the intro, are you ever going to change it? It still has that lame elephant sound at the end. "With Brian and friends... and *hooooooooooooooooonk*" Can't you just do a quick edit of "Brian and friends, and lukems" or something?
-
FreeBase Friday!! Things have been good, Working My BLAM off Tho.. Need to relax & inJoy my self in a sandbox..
-
Very cool screenshots of new and improved guns. Love how on the second picture it says "Click to Embiggen!" when you scroll over. Lol.

NVM :? I miss read. [Edited on 01.28.2010 9:33 PM PST]

i'm curious whether the DMR will be auto, triple shot like the BR or single shot like the FAL if anyone plays cod. Honestly i'd prefer single shot but that's just me
-
Glad you explain the Needle Rifle a bit more. But I still don't seem to understand it's full capabilities ahah Reach is looking nice!
-
I guess the DMR is kind of like the halo2 BR

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] my banana [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TW InKoGnIto Hey guys I just want to say is please don't make the same mistake again: Creating one weapon that can dominate every scenario (BR, and maybe DMR), and please don't make the Human weapons so over bearing. I mean, the Covenant is the superior force in every way, then why do their weapons suck so much compared to the Human ones? [/quote] in the name of good fun challenging and fair gaming...amen[/quote] Thank you. I also want to add: Why can't every weapon do more damage on a headshot? I mean, against shields, it should do the same amount of damage, but without shields, every weapon should be able to kill faster. Although maybe not the plasma ones, which should have plasma stun, which would make you run slower by 5%, and make you heavier by 5% for 2 seconds after each headshot.

Well, chronologically speaking the BR in the form we know doesn't exist until later, doesn't it? If anything I think the DMR is the prototype to the BR which comes along years later in the storyline. If weapons are coming "back" into the past, I think what we'd be seeing would be their predecessors.

i would like to say thank you to bungie for ansering my rate of fire? i was suprised when youve answered my ? even if you didnt mention my name or read my post thanks alot tons of love

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] my banana [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Morio Kun If you love being spawn killed, campers, 4-hit kills, stacked teams, players being able to have god like powers for large portions of the match, and crappy gun sandbox then MW2 is for you. Halo takes a more balanced approach and requires more skill.[/quote] I couldn't agree with you more that halo takes more skill. This is why I enjoy halo so much. I love knowing that I can out BR people because I'm better than them. Where as in COD its whoever sees who first wins, making the game heaven for campers. Weapon balance however is much better in COD for example: You stay alive long enough to run out of ammo with your primary then you switch to your not as versatile secondary weapon(say a pistol) if skilled you can still pursue and out-gun players across map. This scenario doesn't happen in halo. A halo situation would be: You run out of ammo with the BR you're stuck with an AR forcing you with two options A. and B.; A. entails hiding like a little girl until you can assassinate someone or get the jump on them; B. calls for taking a giant risk and actually pursuing the enemy usually resulting in you getting four shotted by a BR. I would rather just run out of ammo and know that because I'm skilled I'll be able to use my secondary weapon(say an AR) to seek out and kill someone whether they have the advantage or not instead of hiding around a corner and waiting. I'm not saying Halo should be a run and gun kind of game. I enjoy the necessary team work and equally matched teams, but I don't enjoy team slayer where whoever has the BR wins. I thought bungie said halo was a long to medium range combat game. Why so many short range weapons then? I guess thats why there is MLG[/quote] Agreed. That is why Halo CE was the most balanced out of all the Halo games. You could effectively fight with any weapon without fear of being totally out classed by another. The pistol was beast but it did not dominate like the BR does now not to mention it had very few spawn points compared to halo 3's 8-10 per map. The gameplay mechanics were so much more fair then they are now in Halo 2 and 3. I hope reach gets some of that Halo CE balance. [Edited on 01.28.2010 1:12 PM PST]

All three guns look amazing. How much per hour would I have to pay Bungie if I'd like to be a playtester for Halo Reach? And what kind of rates do you offer for those that will need to finance their time in the Reach sandbox?

Weapon balance is why I always liked the Halo sandbox. Every weapon is balanced so that you don't end up with the god like powers, and each weapon has their pros and cons. This is why I hate the Modern Warfare 2 sandbox. They just give you a bunch of guns, you chose what you want, and then you run around shoot each other in 3-4 hit kills. Then after you get a bunch of cheap kills, you can call in UAVs, helicopters, and harriers. Then you can totally own the map for like 2 minutes. If someone on your team gets a harrier and you have a helicopter, the two of you can totally own the map for the entire game. To me, this is unbalanced and unfair. But in the Halo multiplayer sandbox, each and every weapon gives you an advantage, but something is taken away in exchange. So then the game becomes more about skill and some luck, rather than a bunch of cheap kills, who saw who first, and what gun each player is carrying and then not being able to own the map for large portions of the games with your harriers. It also helps that Halo has what's called matchmaking. Unlike MW2 where you get thrown into a random party and ranks are not a factor of who you play against. Then you end up with a team of higher ranking players vs a team of lower ranks making the match one sided and unfun. Halo always matches you up with people of a similar rank, thus giving you a more fun and balanced experience. If you love being spawn killed, campers, 4-hit kills, stacked teams, players being able to have god like powers for large portions of the match, and crappy gun sandbox then MW2 is for you. Halo takes a more balanced approach and requires more skill.
