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.

    • The future of Samsung's AI-powered education system

      By KMilenkoski1202 · Posted

      So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
