I hope the general gameplay itself has that many knobs. I'd love to see a return of infinite grenades (they were a blast in H:CE). ~telengard

Just hoping one of those blurred out options is "Choose what weapon your In Menus Spartan is holding".

no you fight them

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheMartyArmy [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RC Master AHHHCK! A lot of cool options there (bottomless clip, better vehicle availability options), but still feel like there are a lot missing too. Wheres the option to customise player traits per loadout? Class based dream goes out the window. I mean, [b]if[/b] its actually an option in PvP, why not PvE Firefight too? :( Also, in a way, slightly disappointed that one of those customisation options is 'firefight voice.' Just not something I'm interested in at all really. I could eat my words, but eh. And I mean, its going to be freaking weird having Jorge's voice come out of a female spartan, especially when she has her own voice already. Was kinda hoping for more visual customisation. Also also, why no 'blind' option for the enemies? There was a blind grunt in Halo 3 on The Covenant, so we know even the old engine could do it, even if it was a bug. But, thank god black eye is no longer on by default. That skull bled fun out of the game. However, if it had been me, I would have included options of 'vampirism' per melee, per projectile damage, per explosive, per splatter, per kill or headshot or assassination etc. So at least it could have been made a nicer "get a headshot on an enemy" type of mechanic rather than the silly melee-recharge that it is. Ah well. Still, I look forward to 2000% 4x overshield, high jump height, low gravity, super fast, bottomless clip rocket and fuel rod gun weilding Spartan III action against the unending alien hordes in.... The Power Hour.[/quote] The firefight voice is just an option, nobody forces you to use it. As for "blind" enemies, i think "near sighted" means blind.[/quote] no it means you cant see things far away

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ALPHAxxDRAGON [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Nyxiz [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Evil Otto [quote]What the hell is a Flak Cannon?[/quote] That was the original name for the Fuel Rod gun. The guts of our game is rife with references to original names, because when you finally come up with a final name, it would be quite a bit of work to go back through the scripts, code, and tags and retrofit all the references to match it. Flak Cannon = Fuel Rod gun Spike Rifle = Spiker Survival = Firefight Hopper = Playlist etc.[/quote]So perhaps Heretics ARE Insurrectionists.[/quote] no heretics were covy creatures that turned against the covenant, insurrectionists were humans that hated the unsc[/quote] SO we might be able to play as Heretics in FireFight?

MJW = Michael Jai White??? You guys should totally try and get him to do some kind of voice in a future game. Probably some sweet MoCap too, he's a martial artist ya know. He was also Spawn, which is awesome.
-
I am so happy to see an actual change in the gender besides the voice of death :P Basically I like the variety. Also firefight is back!? HOOAH TO THAT! I simply loved it in Halo 3: ODST and cannot wait to play more of it in the past! Also on that note, I was watching a trailer for the new firefight and it shows brutes in it... I am a little concerned as to how this will fit into the storyline however am positive Bungie will do a brilliant job explaining why and how to the public when the time is right. The only thing I would add is one giant space sling-shot that shot traitors/ team killers into the local star in the system ;) Thanks for the update! -CM

I really hope there's a Sgt. Johnson voice option. [Edited on 06.19.2010 12:20 PM PDT]

So much information to consume.

countdown 10,9,8,-. I love the update urk. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] urk We have liftoff! [url=/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061810] click for full story [/url][/quote]

Sweet. Being a female, I'm glad to see that I don't have to look like a giant needle-pumping meatwall. Although I hope the female embodiment gets to look a bit more... Not girly? Then again, that's just me. I want to look female, but not frail. But I'm confident that however the female embodiment of a Spartan on Reach is made, it will be freakin' awesome. I can't wait for Reach to fall... Go go Bungie, go!
-
Although i'm not too bothered about the voices option, it'd be pretty sweet to have the voice of Master Chief, Johnson, Cortana (female spartan), Grif, or Caboose :) Can we have a little more info on the Concussion Rifle and that mysterious other gun?
-
So.....many....settings! THANK YOU! Bryan Jarrad...you made G4 a little bit better.
-
To clear some things up... Heretics - In one of the stage demo videos they select Heretics briefly and a description appears below it. It said something along the lines of "Covenant experimenting with human weapons"... Just thought I'd through that out there

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] LowScorch90210 I have the snealy feeling that the campaign and firefight might be on two seperate disks on accout kind of like odst it will be interesting to find out[/quote] I don't believe so. If you remember ODST had improved art and graphics then Halo 3. Therefore the two engines were not compatible on the same disc and Bungie decided to move everything not included with ODST's improved H3 engine onto a seperate disc. Of course, I could always be wrong but I'm pretty positive that's it.

The customization in Reach is like a gaming dream come true. I'm really excited to be able to use my spartan across all game modes. Awesome update.
-
I don't know if this update lives up to it's full potential. No blame stosh? I wasn't even clued off as to who to blame for that.
-
they probobly left out the loadouts so you dont see the NEW armor abilities and weapons they made
-
Options lead me to believe there will be Team Firefight 2V2 for most pointsssss
-
What's [REDACTED] mean? Plus, BOTTOMLESS CLIP!!! Epic

Lol at Epic Games and Bungie! Wish I could have seen there fight Personally I love both the companies Gears of War is awesome and Halo well Halo is just Halo which should translate in a dictionary as epic!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] KTfreak4Jesus so even if i'm a guy i can make my spartan a girl and sound like a girl in multiplayer mode? wicked cool! Becuase i saw that it said "change voice to female in multiplayer mode."[/quote] your voice in the mic wont change but you will hear a female voice shout in exitement when you get an overkill
-
I think those options are all really neat, but I was wondering where the Blind skull was.
-
I loved the update. The breakdown of Firefight was awesome.
