Halo Reach Thread


Recommended Posts

You quoted after I changed the typo (not to note).

You've been around the Neowin scene long enough to understand when one needs to make it nice and clear to other's that it is his opinion alone and if you haven't where's the rock? I wanna join you. :laugh:

You said "IMO (not PERSONAL OPINION here people)"... did you mean "note:" instead of "not"?

Textures get compressed either way, so be it 720p'esc textures or higher I don't think space is an issue. It's more about performance and framerates. If the game can't run smooth at 1920x1080 then you'll just have to stick to 1280x720 to get those golden 60 frames per second that everyone wants.

I need an Xbox 360, now. :(

The price is right, but if you want it mostly just for this then best to wait for the LE that will come with the 250GB and so on. Or maybe by then the 250GB will be sold on it's own so it wouldn't matter. Who knows. They could then have something even bigger for the LEs.

I actually overwhelmed by all the changes that I have seen in that ViDoc alone :|

I have always loved Halo and I cannot wait to beta test it again :D

My only fear about the beta is that I will again like the Beta better than release.

i doubt the multiplayer component will look as nice as the campaign stuff being show

I don't see why not? The single player levels are pretty big from what we've seen, and MP will be like that or a bit smaller depending on how many players they can get on there. The point is, there's not, from the looks of it, a huge difference in the scale of the levels that MP has to be scaled back to keep performance.

And that was the case for Halo 3? Why? I did not notice a difference tbh.

Yeah Halo 3's campaign and multi were pretty much the same as far as I recall.

I'll wait until Halo: Reach is released. Maybe they'll have a bundle of some kind. :)

- tripmine

- weapon balance (carbine was more effective)

- map layouts (weapons/vehicles)

- vehicle mechanics

All these were better in the Beta.

The more I see of Halo: Reach, the more I'm reminded of Halo: Combat Evolved. I enjoyed Halo: CE and Halo 3, but I loved the former more-so than the latter. And if this game is anything like it, then I'm going to like it a lot.

Well I know for sure that one thing won't be the same between CE and Reach. No long, neverending library of d00m levels! :laugh:

The ViDoc shows a level that sounds like Truth and Reconciliation (snipers, spartans, night time, cliff side walk) :laugh: you never know.:p

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
