[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wiizpig Jesus blam, these whining 8 years old american kids are starting to get on my nerves even if I'm used to trolls. What did you want, Halo 2.5? that's Halo 3. oh wait, maybe you wanted Halo 3.2... luckily that's not going to be made. In topic: Best update this year, thanks Bungie, can't wait to try the best FPS ever with some great new features inspired by other games. this is going to be fantastic.[/quote] couldnt have put it better myself. also it looks awsum, my only complaints are ppl being able to start with heavies or grenade launchers, thats guna cause one huge exploding map, and making so many things to stop vehicles, thats guna be anoying, i luved the vehicles, i hope ur guna counter that in some way. other than that im hopin ull make a great game and it looks like u will, also hopin for the ranks to go completely (they suc) and that u can get credits in campaign, even if u get allot less, i dont play online very often as i cant afford gold ;{ but good luck with reach it looks great, and my complaints ar minor, i wuld still get the game if they werent fixed XD.

I rather like it, shows a bit of realism in my opinion. ^^ lol now when you fire chaingun on warthog and scorpion i believe they overheat and you dont have to worry about being ganged up by twin chainguns ganging up on you. I give it a 9/10 only because my one soldier and covenant type so far isnt in multiplayer.
-
So, if assassinations won't be in the beta, that means if one player hits them in the back, it'll be the same as a regular melee in the front? Also, How will an elite's assassination look like? An elite is bigger than the spartan, so is it going to crack his neck or something? Just wondering :D

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SD2522 Oh man....only one month left till Beta time....April is going to be a pain to get through.[/quote] I agree April is going to be so hard, especially with all this good informatian they just gave us.
-
Urk it's updates like this that encourage me to finish the week. Really looking forward to Reach but it does look like things might be a little unbalanced what with the difference between elites and spartans.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] M Crizzle I don't mind changes, but I'm not thrilled about the ones I'm seeing. New weapons, vehicles, enemies, tactics - fine. But don't change the basic way the game is played. If I wanted reticule blooms and loadouts, I'd play Call of Duty.[/quote] amen brother
-
in addition, i dont want any COD fans telling me its nothing like COD cos lets face it......its looking like it and most real fans are thinking that and anyone you speak to while playing halo 3 online
-
hmmm...speaking of COD does anyone notice the loadout section of the update?? ok ok it is a bit different, but i guess you couldnt completely rip off there perks and weapon select options. Also while we are on the subject COD anyone recognise the new ranking system on reach...you know, the one where you get rewarded credits for diferent things and you have tasks you can get bonus credits for....ive seen that somewhere before...im sure they call it experience though? i cannot express how much i HATE...no...wait...not strong enough DESPISE COD, and that my friends is why i play halo...im not doubting your skill, knowledge or power bungie and yes i will get bags under my nocturnal eyes playing halo reach all day and night in a dark shaded room, but it is seeming to me like you are trying to get back some players that went to COD in there quick releasing un thought through and quite frankly crap series of games....please bungie tell me its nothing like a 2552 version of COD i just want t hear you say it...PLEASE!!!!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Joebeezer [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Snow Rider0443 I don't car what you say, but really Bungie the noob-tube. call it a pro-pipe if u wish, but that is by far the worst invention ever. This is my rant, my beef I can guarantee you I won't use it. So I hate to say this, but BOO BUNGIE on making a poor decision. Look @ MW2 that's all you get blown away by, (don't let me get started on that game). Just not fun at all. Poor taste, poor call.[/quote] The "pro pipe" will not kill someone unless it hits them directly. The pro comes in only if you decide to bounce it off walls and explode it in someone's face. The Mine part is kind of lame though. I think it should explode after X amount of time. Preferably under 30 seconds. But we will all see. Our comments, concerns, and data will help determine the end result that will be Halo Reach. So if the general consensus is the that the grenade launcher is overpowered, it will most likely be nerfed. We have the power people, let's use it. [/quote] I think it wont kill someone in a direct hit unless their shields are down. Thats the "pro" word. I like the mine part. Its a better alternative to the tripmine. The only thing i liked about cod was the claymore/c4 the you could lay traps with. Reach just got a bit more tactical.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Fuzzy McDoodle Wow, this game is starting to dissapoint. Loadouts, which is not anything I want in Halo, overheating chaingun on the warthog, and the whole Armor Ability stuff sounds like crap. My excitement level just went from 9/10 to 3/10. [/quote] Loadouts are not like cod. Everybody has weapons unlocked and anybody can choose what load out they want.Chain gun overheat is a good thing. Only ones who get upsat are noobs that fire it like crazy nonstop at....nothing.Did equipment sound like crap? Test them out THEN complain.

Another awesome update ^_^ Good job Urk! God I can't wait for this beta =D
-
Last! Awesome update, loving the new stuff.
-
Great info Bungie. I'm really looking forward to the Beta Build, and it's coming out on my birthday! In advance, thanks for the thoughtful present! haha P.S. The video at the end had me crying at my computer. Hilarious.
-
So much information! Thanks.

I want to see the new assassinations from the perspective of the victim. Will it all be first person? I think a video post is needed for this :).
-
As amazing as all of the updates are, I'm just wondering why the original Combat Evolved-era Mark V's upper protection piece is still a no show even if it made the Mark V recognizable. I mean yeah you can tell its the Mark V by the aesthetics of the helmets foundation, but why hasn't it made any sign of its return. If it was reincarnated in Halo 3's permutations, why is it still absent from the game that's only moments prior to the first game it appeared in? I am sorry if I sound like I'm ranting but, its not intended to be any type of insult or whining. I'm just stating my concern with the games canon.
-
The Focus Rifle is a mix between the Sentinel Beam and the Beam Rifle. So it's like the Sentinel Rifle or...the Beam Beam...
-
no I remember that they said it's the same mechanic as in halo 3 the spartan and elite models have a basic hitbox that never changes.
-
I think that the lockdown roll and that you can bean people with frags is sweet! plus the pro pipe I think is awesome it looks like you could set traps by just holding down the trigger
-
Call me crazy, but I loved those knees.... ;)
-
Answer me this; The grenade launcher can't one-hit people right? If it is, then matchmaking will turn into an all-too-familiar nade launching campfest. Anyway, I do have faith in you, given all the changes you seem to have made, I am very excited, and cannot wait 30 days. <3

God damn that was one juicy update! Nice!
