Yeah, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in here but this pic:

Cuts out a dude on the left that you can see here:

What's up guy.

Could be more even further left [edit: or right], can't quite tell.
 
Halo: Reach sounds extremely interesting. A prequel to Halo: CE is what I've wanted all along.

If it's true, that is. Either MS or Bungie teams, make it so!

If that's the whole Xbox booth we're probably going to get a lot of info for ODST. Hopefully gameplay.

Here's a glimpse to the left of MS's booth:

Well MS has a pretty big booth and I'm not sure how comprehensive these shots are as they're just renders. Regardless, many of the big sites have said they're going to have live demos of ODST so I say it's a pretty safe say there will be gameplay and plenty of info.
 
^^^can't wait to see it in motion. Lets hope we get some direct feed HD footage along with some interviews. How about some Bungie folks on some podcasts, more specifically 1up Yours.

I'm sure we'll get a price and release date. Any chance that we won't?

You don't have to hope at this point. It is 100% confirmed to be at E3 and we will get HD feed for sure.
 
The only problem with the expansion thing is that Bungie played though the entire game earlier in the year in one day. You could play through Halo 3 in a few hours but to get a few hundred people through the game in a day makes it sound like it's not that long. If it ends up being short I hope they reconsidered just packing 3 more new maps into the game and now are planning more.

Holy shit, Voc. Your prediction is almost EXACTLY what I was talking about to some folks weeks ago about how Microsoft should invest in making a Halo game for each novel (except The Flood, as I hear that's one of the bad ones) and make it downloadable over Xbox LIVE like it was episodic.

Meeting of the minds ftw. :lol

Your prediction that is exactly like Voc's prediction is exactly like a prediction I was telling my pet dog not weeks but months ago! Can I be in?

Your avatar would be better if the helmet would appear when the lightning strikes and isn't there for the rest of the time.
 
Map Title: Ber Ber Creek

Map Description:
A remake of Halo 1/2 classic Battle Creek. 4-10 players.

Screenshot(s):
Overview
Towards Red
Towards Blue
Behind Blue
Flag Room
Blue Entrance
Facing Rockets

Showstoppers:
No showstoppers.

About Your Map:
Ber Ber Creek is a remake of Halo 2’s Beaver Creek and as such shares many features of the original. Assuming one has already played the original there are a number of differences. Having been built in the crypt, the space constraint forces the map to be scaled down. The space beyond the teleporters is strikingly reduced. It’s possible to jump from red base to rocket arch, and from the arch to either the top of red or blue base and sniper spawn.

Weapon layout is similar to Halo 2’s:
BR – 2 (10s)
AR – 0 (N/A)
Magnum – 3 (30s)
Needler – 2 (90s)
SMG – 2 (30s)
Plasma Pistol – 2 (30s)
Plasma Rifle – 2 (30s)
Shotgun – 1 (90s)
Sniper – 1 (90s)
Rockets - 1 (120s)

Equipment:
OS – 1 (150s)
Frags – 6
Stickies - 4

2. Is your map symmetrical or asymmetrical?
Symmetrical

3. How many players best suit your map? Can it support players below or above your ideal player count?
Best suited for 4v4 matches. Can support 5v5 as the videos show and still plays great in 2v2 and 3v3 matches.

4. Does your map have vehicles? What purpose do the vehicles serve? Can it sustain vehicles?
No vehicles

5. Does your map have teleporters? What purpose do the teleporters serve?
Two teleporters at each on the map much like the original map. Teleports people.

. What standard gametypes (Slayer, CTF, Oddball, King, Assault, VIP, Juggernaut, Territories, Infection) are supported by your map? Which work best? Which gametypes are not supported, or do not work best?
Map supports all gametypes but works best with Team Slayer (BR starts or AR if you’re so inclined) and multiflag CTF.

7. What non-standard gametypes (Swords, SWAT, Rocket Race, gametypes you have made specifically for your map) might you recommend for your map variant? Provide links if possible/applicable.
Suggest shortening flag respawns since it’s a smaller map, it’s not Avalanche so it works better with a non-Avalanche respawns. Classic CTF (flag at home to score), again with shortened respawns, is also a lot of fun. Neutral Bomb works best when defuse timer is shorter. As it is its flag respawns work just as well as they do on other small maps like Boundless and The Pit.

Playtest:
Multi Flag BRs
Neutral Bomb BRs
Team BRs

Just wanted to pop in and say hey to everyone. Used to post in here a ton. In Halo related news, I taught myself the Halo Theme (Mjolnir Mix) on guitar today, and then when I finished playing, turned the amp off, come downstairs, fire up GAF and...There's the Halo: Reach rumor. Can't wait for the Halo goodness at E3. Just what I need. Some Halo loving to get me fired up.

You should record yourself and put it up on Youtube or something. I'd love to hear it.

There's a million people who've done just that. It's not that impressive, just search Halo Theme on Guitar on Youtube and you'll get a million videos of 12 year old kids playing it.:lol

Awesome, I'm excited. BTB needs a few new non-Dikembe Mutombo maps.

I'd like to see them add Ghaleon's map, the Lotus map and Assembly to the Team Mythic playlist - since none of them are coming up for me there.
 
Good games tonight, guys. Ghaleon, I hope your map gets approved a.s.a.p.! I had a lot of fun and thought it was better than the previous iterations of it. :D
