Ghost Recon + Spartans - Shit = Halo : Reach
I hope the multiplayer is squad based like people have mentioned. This would make it play completely different from Halo 3 whilst allowing the 2 titles to co-exist without stepping on each others toes. Personally I hope Reach is a more realistic representation of combat, given the context of the situation.
GhaleonEB said:Lots of jumping in the pics.
But it looked like the Rookie took fall damage when he landed from up high early on in the trailer, at the 24 second mark.
Yeah but the ODST on the left of this pic looks like he's jumping more like Larry Bird than Michael Jordan... :lol

how sad... so whats the deal with that MMO??
it would be nice to have battles in a persistent world, where you get to make decisions on what and where to atack... battles could be mission oriented ... something like halo wars + halo 3 + those facebook games

i dunno never played but i also dont know halo story but this kind of thing would work great in small army setting
GhaleonEB said:
Jordan's on the left.
OK I stand corrected... Maybe Jordan is in the game afterall. But to play devils advocate even more, maybe it's because of the huge explosion behind them thats causing ODST Jordan to get some air. There is some blood splatter around him after all... LOL
and yes I am purposely quoting the full images still to keep reminding everyone how sweet odst looks

-Three new Halo 3 multiplayer maps on a standalone disc
-The more than 20 downloadable maps previously released for Halo 3 in the Legendary, Heroic and Mythic map packs.
Huh? So the new maps are on a separate disc? And the other 21 maps aren't on the disc, but have to be downloaded? So If I don't have room on my HDD but I want to play Halo 3 MP in matchmaking wit the new maps...*head explodes*-The more than 20 downloadable maps previously released for Halo 3 in the Legendary, Heroic and Mythic map packs.
I'm hoping Kotaku just borked the information, and it's all on one disc, with all the maps. Or they got it backwards, and all the maps are on a disc, and the three extra are a download.
OH. MY. GOD. Thanks, Bungie. I could not focus in class today, was constantly refreshing a liveblog on my friend's iphone and shat my pants with excitement when the announcement came (well, I kinda knew what was coming, but still). 2 more Halo games? YES YES YES. A bit LTTP, but whatev. The 60 dollar price tag is disappointing though.
Some things I didn't pick up on during my initial viewing:
Seems to be turning the SI on:
Picture really shows how big the hunters are in comparison to the ODST:
Anybody in there:
At least 3 grenades at a time:
Firefight mode's new scoring and medal identification along with level/wave hud details:
Bad ass looking hunter, maybe firefight related:
Still amazed at the size of this lady's noggin. I mean it looks like they took the recon asset right off of a 7 foot spartan and pasted it onto a 5 foot tall asian woman.

Wow Eazy, nice find on the more than 2 grenades of a type at once. God that demo was so awesome. September 22nd, even more awesome. Cocop said it earlier but Horde with vehicles will be too much fun. 4 guys riding around in 2 warthogs fuckin shit up. God damn.
Also, Reach, Bungie developed??

Oh man, reliving the days of hearing more about the Halo 3 MP Beta; waiting for new details; staying up until 4am for KP to post the Beta FAQ on Bnet; bribing Frank with tea, cookies and cowbell until he gave folks FoF Beta keys; playing 3 hours worth of Halo 2 MP for trying to win a Beta key; having Crackdown fail us all when the Beta went up; screwing with the Beta until we unlocked Custom Games and fiddled with the Sword and Pistol while Luke and Frank hopped in the fiddles for the lolz.
And we get to relive those moments...
all over again.
Fuck. yes.

My boner hasn't gone away from the bungie portion of the conference yet. Is it time I contact a physician?
The more I hear about this game, the more it becomes clear that it's aimed right at us, the hardcore still playing and talking about Halo 3. The game reads like a list of the stuff we've been asking for at various times ("we" in the collective sense).
Halo 1 pistol? Check.
Open, nighttime urban combat, ala the infamous Halo 2 E3 demo? Check.
Entirely new approach to story telling, filling in gaps in the narrative between games, departing from Halo 3's style? Check.
Co-op horde mode, with the Halo 3 difficulty modifiers and skulls? Check.
And I'll add one more: graphs and charts for the stats on bungie.net. Oh god graphs. Check!
It's almost as if they are aware of what their fans want or something. Weird.
And it lands in September, thank god.

I am also really digging the new Halo logo from Reach.

Yea I just watched the Demo and announcement over again and saw that it was Bungie developed. That's so awesome. As much as I want Bungie to work on a new IP (which I'm sure you guys are doing) I didn't want Halo to go to some other studio where it's name and reputation could possibly be watered down. Not a diss to Frankie's team, as I know those guys will do their best. A new Bungie developed Halo game was something you could probably quote me saying some shit about how I didn't want it. This is awesome because I know nothing about it. I totally fuckin want this game.
Halo: Reach beta huh? Another "Love, Bungie" gesture for the fans or an actual necessary beta? Halo 3 MP beta was a bit a both no? An incentive to sell ODST? 3 birds, 1 snipe? It makes me think what type of game Halo: Reach is.
Looks like it's been in development since the launch of Halo 3. I'm assuming pre-production for a little while before Halo 3's launch. Probably going to launch Fall 2010. Obviously you can't tell me this stuff but I think those are pretty safe guesses. Man, Halo: Reach is gonna be sick.
I've had that 3 pack of Halo books for a while but haven't read them yet. Looks like I'm starting Fall of Reach tonight.

And with better launch day netcode. Probably :lol
We are happy men indeed.

Yes. I love the original Halo 3 logo. It was simple and awesome. Hopefully they don't change the Reach logo.Captain Blood said:

The Reach teaser looked like a teaser for a low-budget movie. I was impressed with it.

Co-op is just like the co-op from Halo 3. Up to four players over Xbox Live/System Link. We'll slap a podcast up tomorrow that has some good insight into what Firefight is, where it came from, and why it's a bit different from the Halo you're used to.

Yeah, it looks like Bungie has given you more freedom with them.Tashi0106 said:

Heh, on the right side of the ODST Premium Theme, there's the text "We're next!!!" on a small wall/ledge. You can't really see it from your dashboard because the big squares block it, but choosing the theme then backing out (which gives you like a second of being able to see the whole theme) will help anyone see the text.
