Darn you Bungie, I am now going to go buy a new copy of Halo 2 just to play online on the 14th. (Naw, I do realise it is an awesome game for campaign also :D)
-
Willwe get the "visual flair" if we play Halo 2 for games for windows live on the 14th? I didnt have an xbox at the time but i still have my PC copy. Come on bungie, i already preordered this game and had every game (halo 1 and 2 on PC, 3 and now reach soon on XBox) i want some flair!
-
Beautiful environments! Thanks for the update, Urk.
-
I am very happy that there are no assault rifles on any of the maps... Thanks Bungie xD
-
damn lots of good info. thanks for such a great update, looking forward to this game.
-
I can't wait to run around and break stuff. April 14th calls for some pizza and XBL!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MK040596 i dont have halo 2 and i dont know were to get it. if anyone could inform me of a place of wich i could find this i would be thank full. also this armor piece or visual... will i be able to aquire it in the game?[/quote] Look in any Pawn Shop or EB Games/Gamestop. You are almost guaranteed to find a copy. Do it now before they're all gone. Do it this weekend and play one of the best Halo Campaigns ever!!! Before you jump into the fray of almost 6 year old battles that is. The special item will be attached to whichever gamertag you use to play Halo 2 when you play the retail Halo: Reach. I'm looking forward to finding out just what it is but all in good time. [Edited on 04.09.2010 10:11 PM PDT]

Those screenshots took awesome to a new level! Not that I want to pester and pry, or even poke a little, but can you give us any indication as to when some more info on the beta will be revealed by us lower intellects?

Don't know if these have been answered before but: 1. Can we set up our own weapon/ability loadouts in custom games? 2. Do we have to verse a Bungie employee in Halo 2 on the 14th for the reach stuff, or do we just have to play? [i](Apparently we just have to play Halo 2, no need to verse Bungie employees)[/i] -S [Edited on 04.10.2010 3:50 AM PDT]

I'm gonna be the first to make a unicorn with that needle rifle. I'm getting all worked up just thinking about this!

I have had a lot of doubt in the work of bungie lately. Halo 3 was the worst halo so far basically because the fighting style, especially the melees were horrible for one, and you could jump ridiculously high to dodge grenades, and for two, the game was absolutely unbalanced. Especially after the newest one, halo: ODST my trust in bungie to make good games has been reduced to basically nothing. I am a huge Halo fan, and I can say that Halo 3 is the worst game I have ever played in my life, because all people obsess over is a 4 shot BR and no-scopes, and zero strategy. So far my favorite halo is halo 1. The reason being is that everything about the game was thought-out and rational, all the weapons were balanced, aiming was about more than just having ridiculously fast reactions- it was about predicting the opponent's movement as well, (especially for the sniper rifle since it took a second for it to travel). Also, you actually had to TRY to dodge grenades, rather than just jump to easily evade them. Most importantly, all the weapons were balanced, and this is where I am already worried about halo:reach, because I noticed that one of the testers mentioned getting the "power weapons" using the sprinting. A good game has no power weapons, that is a great way to ruin the game. Halo 1 was a great game because you had to think, and racing to have a specific position which is the same every game, makes it so people only require the brains of a donkey to win, and just need to aim well. Purposely making people race to a specific position to get certain weapons every single game, makes the game garbiage. Halo 1 multiplayer went differently every time, and people had to respond to situations, not just race to the same position every game. I am sorry bungie, but I am extremely dissapointed with your work as of late, and I am hoping you can fix these things in Halo:Reach, and I am really hoping that those "power weapons" are not too powerful, and that there is a lot more thought in this game than Halo 3. Now don't get me wrong- I do see a lot of improvement in balance in Halo: Reach, but after seeing the words "Power Weapons" mentioned, I am thinking maybe there are still going to be many mistakes in Halo:Reach, and I really want a game closest to the absolute awesomeness of halo 1 gameplay.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] swat is back [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] urk [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Pokezilla Linked Ah, I sure am lovin' all the info. Nice update. However, when you said "we'll give a piece of Reach visual flair to those who play with us" (or something along those lines) did you mean those who literally are put in a match with you, or just for everyone who plays Halo 2? =P[/quote] Everyone who plays, period.[/quote] What do you mean urk i dont understand.

When is it the 14th of America in Australia? (EST) Do we have to play on the 14th there or here?
-
Hey the 10 sec counter for when you walk outta the map is a great idea for matchmaking but have you thought about making that an optional feature for forge or custom games?
-
Another nice update. I was lying in bed on my iPod Touch last night/this morning waiting for it to strike 1:00am GMT so that the update would be up, or around then, then read it all on a tiny little screen in the darkness. My eyes hurt, but it was worth it. Dedication, right there.
-
Tired of readin' about this krap...need to test it all, to see how bad it's screwed-up. ;)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Qbix89 Urk, I think I love you.[/quote] Judas! Glad to see Halo 2 players will be getting some love. The screens of the maps look beautiful. =) [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazyPostaLBoB [/quote] If Halo 3 is the worse game you have ever played in your life then you need to play more games.

Man, I'm gonna miss Halo 2, Hopefully I'll see you guys the 14th.
-
I've basically never played Halo 2 online, but it's still going to be sad when it's gone.
-
Nice update! but i read most of it from the IGN article. And i really like that the timer remains if you walk outside the map boundary, i thought that players would exploit it otherwise.
