Obviously it will.. maybe not 100% of everything but the fact they advertise it as "Falls 2010" it will be about what happens to Reach planet as described in the book and events that happened there. In Halo 3 ODST they yell in one of the missions "It's Reach all over again". So Reach is definitely going to fall in the game which will show the death of all Spartans but Master Chief who was dispatched to the secret mission leading to Halo 1. My thoughts at least.

Wait... Spartans don't die! I guess you haven't read Onyx at all.

Right, first part was facetious. But Onyx explains the fate of many of his squadmates.

The difference between a Spartan II and a Spartan III is that Spartan II's never die (publicly). Spartan III's don't exist at all (publicly).

Riiight, I know. I won't try to explain because I don't want to spoil it, but remember who ends up surviving at the end. I replied to someone that said ALL spartans die on Reach.

Depends.

Halo: Fall of Reach - All Spartans die on Reach

Halo: Combat Evolved - All Spartans are dead but MC.

Halo: The Flood - All Spartans dead but MC

Halo: First Strike - A select few named spartans did not die.

Halo 2 - From this POV all spartans are dead still

Halo 3 - All Spartans are dead from this POV.

Halo: Ghosts of Onyx - Most spartans dead, All previous companies of Spartan III's dead.

New matchmaking features from the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/62865

I love how you can actually vote on the game mode now. My crew is getting pretty sick of ending up with crap game modes in Halo 3's Action Sack playlist (does anybody even play Run For Cover?). The Arena sounds really cool as well, kinda like the ladders that I use to play on in my PC gaming days. I usually don't play Halo by myself, but the Arena might make me start up again.

Still no word on 4-player multiplayer split-screen. Don't let my crew down, Bungie! :)

No tanks or wraiths in single player now?! Wow fair, spose a tank mission of old could detract from the epicness of the game.

O LOL!

Ok I see what you and I did there. I mean under one person control :blush: A "single player." :laugh:

By all means keep the tanks in both multi and single player levels. I still like the old days where one player could control the turret and main cannon.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
