heh heh so they took a leaf out of Gears' book and now we can play as the flood in MP...nice. and i still want to watch all those Forward Until Dawn movies before the game comes out...i feel this will erase the disappointment Reach was, a proper swan song for the 360 in terms of Halo.

I REALLY enjoyed reaches multiplayer, it was the single player campaign that didn't have.... idk, it just lacked something. Too much running from waypoint to waypoint and not enough killing and story involved slaughter for me I guess.

The online MP was reminiscent of Halo 2 which I LOVED. I hated H3's MP, it seemed too slow and laggy like a tom clancy game.

I hope they keep a very similar fast reacting online MP engine. Otherwise I'll be quite un-happy.

Very much loving the art direction and graphics in this game. I never could see why people ever said Halo 3 had good graphics, and I never rated Bungie that highly in that department.

First time I saw the footage for this game I also got Metroid Prime vibe from it's art direction, and it turns out I wasn't crazy - some of designers from Retro Studios now work at 343i, which is a very, very good thing. (Though I hope Retro found some good people to make up for them :p)

I was just watching some of the IGN videos, I cannot wait for this game. I am not a huge Halo fan, truthfully I only enjoyed the original. I know multiplayer wise 2 and 3 might be 'loved' but we all agree Reach left wanting but 343i is really looking like they're pouring love into every aspect of the game. I am so very thrilled for this. Might just wait on AC3 knowing a week later this comes out, and get AC3 at a discount.

Can someone explain why the flood look like they have some sort tech skin in addition to their flesh?

Umm those flood forms look like infected spartan III's :|

Yep, but they're infected Spartan-IVs.

You never played Infection in Reach?

I have the exact same impression. I didn't like Reach's single player that much but I really enjoyed its multiplayer over Halo3. My only regret is the stupid Forge World thing that bungie did. The remakes were lazy forged maps which got boring real fast.

True about the forge maps. If anything they should have brought back all the H2 maps, those were a hit on H3 for a reason. They were awesome in design and very team-neutral.

The last few updates to multiplayer makes me want to quit reach. Hell I did for almost 3 months because they removed all the 'power armor mods' that kids kept crying about on the forums. -_- if you're getting owned, get better at the game or stop playing I say.

The same thing happened for Halo 3. Avalanche was released as a vehicular combat focused map, and by the end of its first 3 months out they removed everything but Warthogs and Ghosts from the map and only specific game types even saw a Wraith on the map. Reach's maps were sort of meh all around. There was one or two pretty good maps but almost all of them were lackluster.

I said I wasn't going to do it. I actually, swore up and down once I heard Jetpacks were in this game I wasn't going to do it. I ended up pre-ordering the game and got a $20 giftcard through Microsoft Store's website. If the Limited Edition shows up somehow, I'll end up getting that as well. If it doesn't, oh well. :/

I have no faith in its multiplayer, I just want to see how they ruin the single player story.

I have no faith in this game at all, actually. If it's anything better than Reach...than I will say this was a good purchase. I mainly got this to give me something to do while I wait for GoW:J to come out.

Although, like you said...I do want to see where the story goes from here. I guess, I should give Halo 2 and Halo 3 a play through.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
