  • i agree with both of chris' comments. the problem with making sprint/evade standard is "what button would they put it on?"

  • so far im lovin it i cant wait im freakin out man but during the beta if we do find somthing to report how do we tell u.... second this is just a small observation i think sprint and the duck and roll should be standard and not an armor ability and there are some who would probly agree...and third another small one you should swap the Grenade and Equipment button on the Recon controller scheme that way it's the same setup as Halo 3. thx for your time plz reply HALO TO TE END!!!!!!

  • Super Awesome indeed. Dropped coin at a local Gamestop today to reserve my copy of Reach Legendary flavor. Forget about everything else in the box - I would have dropped the extra $90 just to have a flaming helmet with which to instill fear up on my enemies with. :) - Rok

  • I keep putting this in the wrong place, and then I can't delete it because it looks like I'm spamming. sigh. anyways, I already put this in the wrong thread by accident, and now I'm just trying to put it with the right one. Firstly, Bungie, Halo, and Invasion kick unspeakable ass. Also, I just wanted to point out that I independently invented the invasion gametype more than two years ago, and I have the proof in my fileshare. Mine is not nearly as pretty and sexy and wonderful as yours, but the ideas were similar, and I thought that was really cool, and that I should tell you, after which you would be blown away by my obvious psychic premonition and like give me a t-shirt, or maybe just say like "good job bill we're all so very proud of you". So I made a linear map for assault games on Foundry. It has three main sections that the attackers have to progress through, unlocking them as they go. Both teams spawn in the back, right next to some teleporters. They teleporters take them to each of the three sections of the map. The defense starts with open teleporters, while the offense's teleporters start blocked, so the defense can teleport out to zone 1 and be waiting when the attackers come storming out. If anyone dies, they respawn in the back, and so the defense can get back into the mix quickly, while the attackers have to run. Once the attackers push through the first zone, they will be able to unblock the first teleporter. It is blocked with a wire spool and located directly above the defense's teleporter, so the offense can push the spool off of their teleport and onto the defense's. So, attackers can now spawn in the back and teleport quickly to the end of zone 1, while the defenders can no longer teleport there, but only to zone two now. The same process holds for zones 2 and 3. Also, as the attackers progress, they will have access to better and better weapon stockpiles. Like I said before, mine is not nearly as pretty as yours, but it's pretty cool I think. I even named the map Invasion. - Bill Oh PS the new controller schemes look sick, I just wish that I could switch melee/grenade in the Recon setting to make a sort of Recon-Boxer.

  • everythign looks amazing and i'm really looking forward to the beta. i did notice something that may not be a big deal, but thought i would point it out: in the screenshots of boneyard, there are two big yellow cranes on the map. one would expect these given the setting of the map, but my thought was they are two big yellow, modern looking cranes...like year 2000 modern, not year 2400 modern. since halo is set hundreds of years from now, i would think the cranes would be more futuristic (at least as futuristic as a crane get be. i mean it is just a crane.) just a thought.

  • There is NO reason why they can't have a standard Halo 3 button layout. Halo: Reach - Quickly becoming Call of Duty Jr.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] chaos971 So, is the flaming helmet going to be seen through camo again? I plan on getting legendary and would be really disappointed if that was the case.[/quote] Even If it can be, I think given there's likely more than one armour effect (I'm guessing that's what the halo 2 last day ever bonus will be) You'll be able to modify your armour, modify little components of it (like adding a flash light to the side of your helmet, as they showed very briefly in one update), and add armour effects to your armour. This would make sense because It would allow you to ignite any helmet you want (it not being tied to any one piece and all), and it would let you turn the fire off if you Feel like throwing down Ninja-Style with Active camo. Having said that, Making it disappear temporarily when you activate your camo would be nice, to avoid having to choose between looking awesome and being invisible.

  • Very good, informational update, urk. This has been the best Halo: Reach weekly update yet. I enjoyed reading all of it. Personally, I'm glad Grab Bag, FFA, and Arena are the starting playlists for the May 3rd Beta (it's super awesome) release. Showcasing all the playlists right at the start wouldn't have been a good idea whatsoever. To be honest, though, I'm extremely looking forward to both versions of Invasion. Boneyard looks like the most badass map ever! For controller layouts, I'll probably be using Recon, as it seems the most familiar to me. I think I could get used to that layout pretty quickly. For game editions, I'm (most likely) going to go with the limited edition, but legendary seems pretty considerable. I just don't know if I want to spend $150 on it. Either way, 8 more days till the beta (it's super awesome)! I'm pumped! [Edited on 04.25.2010 9:08 AM PDT]

  • Couldn't I have the controls the way they were in halo 3 with one weapon so I wouldn't have to learn this stuff all over again. It's going to get me in trouble when I play a few different games with different control schemes subsequently. And at the same time trying to remember was this button for melee or was it melee in halo 3 or crouching in mw2 or what. I fear I won't be able to remember them without some warmup matches in each game.

Im pretty sure were not the only ones either. It looks like Reach will be starting right after my trip to Chicago! Nice!

  • it looks super fun. here's my question - we've heard many times your multiplayer spartan will also be your campaign spartan - the update says if i get the legendary edition my head is on fire in multiplayer. is it also on fire in campaign? thinking of how much sweeter that first glimpse of reach would look if the helmet in the spartan's lap was on fire.
