Halo Reach Thread


Recommended Posts

I was thinking Alan Wake would be the game of the year, but it seems like Halo Reach might take it based on the franchise popularity and the anticipation of this game.

I think right now if anything was to sway me towards buying a 360 it would be AW due to the fact I prefer that kind of game to FPS, but that's personal preference. I know what you are saying though and I think there is more chance that Halo would pick up GOTY due to the history that the franchise has.

Less swaying, more buying!

Same here. I am all about AW.

Found this on Ars' review. Assuming this is default, somewhat puzzled by the change in melee.

That's going to mess me up big time. I'm so used to using B for melee and RB for reload. Hopefully you can remap the buttons.

I just read through Ars Technica's preview: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/04/refined-polished-punishing-ars-plays-halo-reach-multi.ars

Not a lot of new information, but it's still an interesting read. The new invulnerability time that they're adding to Juggernaut should it a little better (at present in Halo 3, you can shoot somebody even before they become Juggernaut, which makes it pretty ridiculous on small maps like Epitaph), but I would much rather have them do something about people getting kicked for accidental TKs. Juggernaut has become something of a joke within my group, since we always end up getting kicked because a stray grenade intended for the Juggernaut just happened to kill somebody else. And of course, the moron kicks without a second thought.

Can't wait for May 3rd :).

I saw the reviews earlier today, like in the AM and i was very happy. Im excited for this game. Also those controls dont look default.

But, totally ready for this game. Super 4, Skate 3, MoH, Ghost Recon(if its not on PC) and Halo will bring me back to playing my 360.

So your the ass that keeps TK'ing me :p lol I kid

Possibly ;). I'm also the guy who gets to nine kills and then gets kicked because of a stray grenade, lol. I've lost track of how many times that has happened.

New ViDoc and information on the standard, limited and collectors editions posted.

Limited Edition and Legendary Edition detailed here: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/22/halo-reach-special-editions-confirmed-including-150-legendar/

As much as I love Halo, I think I might just stick with the regular edition for this one (or maybe I'll take the middle ground and get the Limited Edition). That weird statue is just going to take up space in my closet like all of the other limited edition junk before it. That said, the flaming helmet looks hilarious. It would stick out like a sore thumb, but it's still hilarious :).

That Elite Armour is niiiiiiiiccceeee.

Bungie done good, the Legendary bundle really is just for those who want everything, moreso than H3 legendary.

I will be content with this Elite over a flaming helmet:

Elite Officer!

Who am I kidding, I'm gonna buy a japanese import of the standard edition cause I'm a student :whistle:

Man the Bungie staff in the vidocs do talk some pretentious bullcrap sometimes...

To me they all seem so passionate and friendly especially towards one another. The part where they were describing how they keep some gameplay segments from a particular guy because it's his job to nerf it and he is essentially the joy killer made me chuckle :) If anything their vidocs make me think working at Bungie is the most awesome thing ever!

I know what you mean, everything about them suggests that they'd be a great employer and that the studios are a great work environment. But some of the stuff they say really is cringeworthy at times I reckon :shiftyninja:

Haha yeah I agree some of that stuff was just pure French cheese! :laugh: Especially that Christian Bale looking dude. He cracked me up!

Looks like I am buying the limited edition when this thing comes out. :D Just saw the new ViDoc and wow I am really impressed.

The only thing I am confused on is how do you regain health? Is it like Halo 1 where you have to go and pick up health packs or what?

    • 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!
