  • Can't wait...although I'm sure I won't be able to play until the 5th as my download goes up a percent every 10 minuets.

  • Good lookin assets there. Boneyard looks amazing. I hope the props for playing Halo 2 are tier based upon how many games you have logged. I think I have played over 10,000 Halo 2 games online.

  • This update wasn't great because of the controller layouts, but because urk showed the controller layout with inverted controls! Now that's super awesome.

  • There's gonna be way too many of those flaming helmets. These different pieces of visual flair that we get for doing certain things, will we be able to stack these up so we can wear all the ones we unlock at the same time?

  • Unless the control scheme is configurable, its gonna be Recon for me. I've been playing Halo with pretty much the same layout for nearly 9 years now, and I'm more than just [i][b]used[/i][/b] to it... its a part of me, embedded into my muscle reflexes forever. As for the more important content of the update, I must say I'm totally stoked for the Beta. Unfortunately I missed the Halo 3 Beta all those years ago, but this time around my buddies and I are planning on bringing fire and death to the land of Xbox Live all night every night until it closes. Bromance shall be in the air as we fire-team it up (a concept that reminds me of Battlefield games, a great addition btw) through hordes of squidhead freaks in Invasion. Oh, Invasion. That looks, in a word: epic. The concept is vaguely similar to modes of play from many recent games, where you have to hold of an invading forces of Alien Army Space Guys, but the difference (and its and awesome difference) is that the invading hordes of conquering Aliens aren't predictable bots, but living players (who may or may not be predictable). The phases that unlock more and better loadouts and vehicles is great as well, I think it will add a lot on intensity to the gameplay. I can imagine, as a poor, out-matched Spartan, waiting two minutes or so for the next phase to unlock, so that I could get maybe a chance to hold of the evil Elites. Its gonna be fantastic. (I'd say 'awesome' but... no. No.) And when it comes to game editions, I've already pre-ordered my sexy Legendary. Don't worry haters: I will flaunt to the best of my ability my fantabulous flaming helmet, so get your expletives ready. But really, its not that, or even the statue that sealed my purchase of the best of the best (though it is incredible, <3 McFarlane)- its that Dr. Halsey stuff. You see, I'm not just a kickass Halo player- I'm an avid Halo fanboy, and I have been since I was 8 years old. I've ready every novel, flipped through every comic and graphic novel, watched every VidDoc and Halo Legends episode... I pride myself on knowing as much there is to know about Halo without reading the Game Bible. So the addition of never-before-seen content makes me shiver with antici... [i][b]pation[/i][/b]. So all in all, what I'm trying to say through this wall of text is that I am immensely excited for what will undoubtedly be the best game by the best developer, and probably the best game of 2010 hands down. <3 you Bungie. Party hard. tl;dr I like the Beta(it's super awesome!)

  • Not liking the controller krap. Why is it so hard to give the player an option for custom mapping? Where the hell does that "essence of Halo" come in? Not seeing it...

  • It's so nice that everyone gets the option of having flaming heads, it'll be so much easier to headshot them no matter what the situation. I liked one of the suggestions a previous poster about if you get corpse humped with the flaming helmet, that it'll cause the humper some damage. Makes me curious to what Bungie employees will have...maybe Forerunner armor? Like most of the others say, the new position of the melee and no classic position seems a bit odd. Could just make it easy an let people customize their button layout, right? Also, has Sage ever braided his beard and put on a viking helmet? And has he ever wanted to train dragons?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CAVX I really do love you, Bungie, but I'm tired of learning new FPS control schemes. I loved your use of the bumpers in Halo 3. I'd be interested to know why the default is the way it is...you guys kind of glazed right over any explanation of that in this update. I suppose I could understand armor abilities as the left bumper function since it's no longer just a "throw and go" thing, but I think a general explanation might be nice in a future update. Also, I really hope there are only like 50 people who get a flaming helmet because otherwise it's going to get really annoying. Sorry for sounding like a pessimist. Reading the rest of that update got me really excited and ready to enjoy the beta! But those two bullet points above just kind of made me nervous.[/quote] On the topic of controls, Halo reach is very different from Halo 3 (or any halo game), so I completely understand why a new controls must be made up for it. And to be honest, the new controls look fantastic. I love the new Green Thumb controls. I've been using it since I've started playing Halo (was it even in Halo CE?) and have never looked back. The fact that zoom is now on the bumpers (shoulder buttons) in Halo Reach, makes me even more happy since I try to snipe from as far away as possible or try beat them down at point blank range. Another thing that I've been wishing in a halo game is the things like Elites vs Spartans (something promised in Halo 2) and massive visual events at the end of the game, like the long sword bombing run. My last point is... who cares about dual wielding? it sucked anyway. (it's been cut right? for good? I hope so...)

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BOB570 Wait, so if you get Legendary edition, you can turn the flames off right?[/quote] Most likely, since the fire is apart of armor customization. I also have a question about the flames, which the answer to is probably no. If someone humps your head when your dead (rhyming, great), will it set them on fire? (Which may be cool to see in special events if not) [Edited on 04.23.2010 11:58 PM PDT]
