Seriously. September launch, new co-op mode and beta key for MP of Reach.

Which of course means an entirely different MP set for Reach.

Jesus. Two new Halo games from Bungie. Pinch me?

Lots of awesome today dude. Incredible.
 
I'm so pleased (and relieved) to see that Halo: Reach will be in Bungie's good hands.

Normally, I'd moan and bitch about Fall 2010 being so far away, but between ODST and the Reach MP Beta, we'll all have plenty to keep us busy.

This is such a great time to be a Halo fan.
 
Dax, Joe Staten demo'ed ODST on stage, graphics looked really impressive and they showcased the 2 new surpressed weapons. The new pistol looks as powerful as the M6D. Then time switches and Joe takes control of Dutch, another ODST. This section of gameplay sees Dutch having to arm the charges on the bridge in New Mombassa to stop the covenant. There is lots of action on screen with DUtch uses a spartan laser to repel the Banshess whilst Wraiths come across the bridge.

After the demo finishes, Joe confirms that a seperate team at Bungie have been working on a new project. Que the trailer. The planet reach is under heavy fire, the camera is in space, orbiting Reach whilst a voice over from radio chatter starts saying things such as we need to pull out etc. Then another voice appears on the radio and says "there are still Spartans on the ground, we're not pulling out". Then Halo: Reach appears over the silhouette of the planet. Short but by god the best trailer EVER. Then Joe reveals that every person who buys ODST will get access to the Halo: Reach Beta, this indicates a completely new experience seperate from Halo 3 multiplayer. Microsoft just won E3. If you didn't watch it, there were a ton of amazing things shown.
 
The reception from the crowd for both game seemed pretty weak.

Halo 3 ODST looked really fantastic but the one stream which I was actually able to watch the show on streamed at bad quality so I can't judge the visuals.

I wish they could have shown more of Halo Reach. Is it running on the Halo 3 engine or something new?
 
Oh poop. >:| The background on B.net changed but no trailers for anything yet! Dammit Bungie, I wanna see the stuff I missed! ;__;
 
Wow- The ODST project page is fully featured and awesome...

Fuck...I still can't believe it. Ever since I read the Fall of Reach years ago I've always hoped Bungie would be awesome enough to make a game out of it. Why did I doubt them?

Also, anywhere I can get the ODST demo video and Reach trailer? I want to see them over and over and over again :lol

So when do we see Bungie's IP?
Click to expand...
Well. They have three projects going. "Some familiar and some not." So the first two are Halo, and the third is the new IP.

And I'll be money MS won't be publishing it.
 
Video was sick. Oh, and did you all notice how it's First Person all the way down in the drop pod?

It's like someone reached into mah head!

Instead of seeing a MS-free Bungie game in 2010, the earliest I could possibly hope for is 2011 and that's if they pump out two full-featured games in a row. Safest bet would be 2012; the year the fucking world ends. I'm going to be your age before I see this :(
 
Indeed that was an impressive demo.
And yes my fanboy heart leapt at Joe's intro.

Odd to think they're finally telling Reach's story in a game.

Are people calling Reach Halo 4 for some reason other than it's a 'new' Halo?

Me too. Well, actually I never thought that it would happen, but I was hoping that Fall of Reach would be made into a movie and that the events in First Strike would be in Halo 2.

I'm stoked. But the Fall of Reach story is so damn epic, I wonder if they'll be able to do it justice on the 360.

ODST looks exactly like what I hoped it'd be, different but the same.. kinda. I hope there's a real option of using stealth though.
 
Halo Reach looks so freaking awesome.

It has so much potential. It seems that the game will take place while the Covenant are glassing the planet. Could this mean we might get to play as the MC?

Hopefully we'll finally see a huge space battle between Humans and the Covenant.
 
Hopefully we find out about the individuals in the Halo: Reach image (on the bottom). All Spartans? A prequel from Halo: CE would be amazing.

My hope is: long campaign with 4 player co-op, huge multiplayer like Halo 2/3, and a map editor like Far Cry. DO IT!

I want to see some Super MACs do what they do best :D I remember reading in awe of how powerful they are.

I also hope there's at least some cutscenes showing John get picked and his Spartan training, with his friends and their early missions.

And as I said before, I want to see the Keyes Loop goddamnit!
 
GAMETRAILERS HAS THE ODST DEMO UP

Everything you need: http://www.bungie.net/images/games/Halo3ODST/features/img_header/firefight.jpg (PLUS WATCH THE NEW TRAILER, different from the live demo)
firefight.jpg

Drop feet first into a new way to play Halo with the cooperative campaign mode, Firefight. Form a squad with up to four of your friends over System Link or Xbox LIVE and put your skills to the ultimate test against the invading Covenant war machine for glory, high scores, and achievements. Do battle in multiple environments, on foot or in vehicles, and against increasingly difficult waves of Covenant attackers while Halo 3's skull modifiers progressively activate to up the ante.

After the Firefight, relive and review every last kill you earned and see how your high scores and stats stack up against your friends' and the community overall using Bungie.net's persistent online stats and Firefight leaderboards.
