Cool. =]

Very nice update, reminding me a bit of back when Halo 3 was in production. So for the pixellated section on one of the screenshots, can we finally blame urk, instead of stosh? (I joke) And that last weapon sound, I have to say it, it made me think "IMMA chargin mah lazzarrzz" [Edited on 01.29.2010 7:26 PM PST]

Oonsk is officially a badass.
-
Oh... my... god....
-
Lol at the new weapon sounds, in a good way. It's very steroid-esque in a sense compared to Halo 3. Right on.
-
the new gun is the ANTI-SPARTIN GUN!!!!! it' very scary(lol)
-
There was nothing in that update that wasn't awesome, keep up the good work.
-
As if it hasn't been said or thought a million times, but that new weapon sounds gnarly.
-
I would have proudly worn the "THE MARTY ARMY" emblem. Especially after hearing that mystery weapon. P.s. I [i]love[/i] this update.
-
ARGH! MY EYES! NOT WANT SEE REACH! Why no spoilarz Urk? Why?
-
Those guns sound awesome... Great update Bungie =)
-
OONSK!!!

When I saw the first screenshot I noticed the pixelated area, but unlike many other people I didn't think it was a hidden function. I knew Bungie had been hard at work making their most realistic title yet, so I figured I thought they added potty time to the game for the covenant. When a couple covenant see a group of badass 7 feet tall spartans coming after them, it would be obvious they would poop their pants and call for mommy ship to save them. The censorship seemed to be the best way to put it over the internet without having to deal with gamer grandma backlash. Also, the off centered aim seemed to make sense, because Halo Reach takes place in over 500 years in the future. Why would anyone want to have to aim for themselves 500 years in the future? Now, that I have found out this is not the case I am disgruntled to find out Bungie has spent their time developing the greatest nonstop action packed thriller ever with features that will undoubtedly leave us wanting more. Thanks a lot, Bungie! No seriously! :]

Awesome episode of the BWU Mr. Urk! The highlights for me are community submitted. Someone always finds a way to make a dirty emlem. Great art all around, but I prefer Oonsk to junk. *click click boom*

Dear Urk/Bungie WebMester/Bungie IGN, The [i]audio tumb nail[/i] on the Bungie news [b](Squashing bugs and busting myths)[/b] is not properly working, I'm nearly sure its not me, my computer, nor the connection. I [i]reported[/i] the server error to the suggestion of the [i]Internet Explorer[/i], [b]Microsoft[/b], but I hightly doubt it change by [b]simply[/b] reporting the error in the system, if it does, i hope i get a good look at that audio tub nail, since it really looks neat with bungie's web site improvement. Don't worry about the [i][b]unconviniece[/b][/i], it's trully a [b]plesure[/b] to alert the worker(s) of this community. Gladly to inform, -tkiIler2 [PS Post Messege: Take a look at what i encounter with; AR:[url]http://www.bungie.net/images/games/reach/audio/Assault_Rifle.mp3[/url] ; DMR(BR?):[url]http://www.bungie.net/images/games/reach/audio/DMR.mp3[/url] ; NR:[url]http://www.bungie.net/images/games/reach/audio/Mystery.mp3[/url] ; SR:[url]http://www.bungie.net/images/games/reach/audio/Sniper_Rifle.mp3[/url] ]

Great update! Flyable Falcon, awesome. And all the gun sounds are awesome, definitely improved. And that mysterious thing...that sounds...so cool. Nerdgasm followed after listening to that. Good work Bungie. Can't wait for the beta! ~RoKKeR~
-
Oosnk just got hardcore...those submissions for the emblem contest are hilarious! I wonder whos gonna win!
-
That last .mp3 almost blew up my house :(
-
sweeeeeeet update!!
-
I appologise for that my link didn't work. but my suggestion is that it shows a grenade arch, like in gears of war, then fires three sucsessive grenade rounds. all I know for sure is that the covenant weapons sound more like a hiss or a low buzzing when they charge up, and not so mechanical. the plasma weapons explosions also have a crackling sound to them. and when the mistery gun is fired there is a reverberating sound like something large leaving a barrel. there is a possibility of it being an archer missile pod, or the falcon taking off and firing. my point is that it is most certainly human. [EDIT]: I listened to it one more time, and I'll concede to it possibly being covenant. I didn't recognise the slite sound between it firing and the exposions that sounds like it could be plasma grenades sticking to something. I am undecided now because that sound could also be a slight rerighting of a projectile, like a missile changing course to hit a locked on target. [Edited on 01.29.2010 5:26 PM PST]

I had a feeling we could fly the Falcon, and the game sounds amazing! Mystery weapon sounds crazy. [Edited on 01.29.2010 5:13 PM PST]

Really good update Urk, about time we start hearing about Reach!
-
AR Sound= More realistic, more beastly. Love it. DMR Sound= It's ok Sniper Sound=More realistic, love it. Grenade= Sounds more beastly and realistic, like it. I like it how these weapons give off a more real echo. Thank you Bungie for further de-classifying info on Reach. Great update! It's like you are preparing us for the Beta or something! Like it's....around the corner!

Well I think the neighbors think I have a shooting range in my house. Sound effects sound amazing. That last one is especially scary with surround sound. As to what the new weapon is, it does sound like a plasma nade launcher of some kind. Or maybe it's Halo's own version of a mortar strike. All I know is I wanna shoot someone with it. [url=http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Reach/images/concept_art/ReachConcept_Emile.jpg]This is what the guy above me is referring to[/url]. Not sure if it's that. I don't see why a grenade launcher like that would have what appears to be a charge time. [Edited on 01.29.2010 5:07 PM PST]

The new weapon sound is not a covenant weapon, it sounds too human. and it definitely didn't sound like a plasma grenade, or like it dug into the ground. it's that gun that appears to be a six shooter grenade launcher that Emile has in one of the concept arts, and the reason why he has so many grenade rounds on his belt. The concept art that I am referring to is found here: http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/images.aspx?c=51&page=1

And after listening to this mysterious weapon a couple of times... I'm calling Covenant version of the spartan laser. :P
